The first couple of Ozzfest
dates have come and gone and James
was glad to see that not only did Marilyn Manson blow
the rest of the bands off the stage, but even those
who had booed them earlier when they were mentioned
over the P.A., were singing his praises by the end
of the show.
"Manson played a mostly
heavy set with the exception of sweet dreams
and cruci-fiction in space, which are slow
but evoked a hell of a response from the predominantly
metal crowd," he said. "About 1/6 of the crowd filtered
out of the venues after Manson. A few simply stating...
"We've seen the best, so fuck the rest"...
"Another observation
from Ozzfest was that gODHEAD drew the biggest crowd
on their stage," he mentioned. "I spoke briefly with
Sharron (Osbourne) after thier set and she was completely
impressed. I was however disappointed by the fact
that Manson didn't come out for Break You Down,
but Mike Miller (guitarist) said that he still plans
to on later dates once he has acclimated himself to
the tour."
