Yep, saw them at Ozzfest 20+ years ago, and even then they were "old". But they crushed!
Those were good times. I was at the Ozzfest where Marilyn Manson humped the back of a security guards head and then got sued for it. Good times indeed.
Which year? Manson was I think third billed at the one I went to. (2001)
2001 sounds right. I was definitely at that one. I remember the t shirt being Satan grabbing his hairy balls and flipping you the bird. They made me turn that t shirt inside out in high school when I wore it. Buncha facists.
I also remember Sony had a PS2 truck there and you could play Twisted Metal Black. It was awesome.
You at the one where SOAD played just before Ozzy?
I would've loved to see that, but no, it was Marilyn Manson. Which was still a great show
Oh damn the Manson one I missed going to. I was supposed to see Manson around 2005, but it was an outdoor concert and the whole thing got canceled due to storms, so never did get to see him; but yeah, SOAD was absolutely fantastic.
I saw them at Pledge of Allegiance in 2001 right after Toxicity came out. Absolutely sick fucking show.
It's been 20 years. They need to kiss and make up. I want new SOAD.
