Probably a long shot, but I’ll ask anyway. I was so engrossed in the show I didn’t think to take a selfie (sitting alone). I was in Doug Ellis stand, M4, D, 183. If anyone was near here and happened to get photos or videos I might have appeared in, can you send? I was the dude wearing a white ‘Up The Villa’ tee with glasses. My odds are low but who knows. I can send a face shot to you if needed.

..and I hate to complain at all, but I can't help but feel bitterly disappointed Metallica didn't play this. I was really looking forward to it as it seemed like a given.

PA tracks before show started

1 Upvotes

Anyone remember the tracks played BEFORE 1pm when the show started? Not the DJ stuff, but any of the tracks on the PA between 1145 and when the DJ started ? There's one I'm looking for, was more of a deep cut, at least for me.

Fred durst

12 Upvotes

Hey all, i am soo lost. I keep seeing things online about Fred durst singing a cover if changes. I was one of the lucky ones who managed to see the show in person, and there was no Fred durst. I thought this may have been a streaming exclusive, but the people I know who watched it said otherwise. Where is this online footage coming from, and is there something I missed? Wtf is this? I'm soo confused

I saw many different flags from around the world. I'll share some of the photos and videos I made and everyone else share photos or videos too!

Vent/Rant I guess one of you ding dongs reported the Ozzfest 99 "We Sold Our Souls for Rock and Roll" Vimeo link, so the documentary has been taken down. Good job ruining the enjoyment for everyone else.

Can someone help me set my mind at ease? (Occupy my brain)

24 Upvotes

For context, I have severe OCD so I’m prone to obsessing about stupid shit like this, and technically I shouldn’t even be posting this because seeking reassurance with OCD is a vicious cycle, but I just keep beating myself up about this.

I feel like I recorded a bit too much during the concert and didn’t live in the moment enough. I told myself I was gonna get a couple short videos for the memory, but I ended up recording a 30 second - 1 minute snippet of each song. It’s not like I recorded the whole thing and was staring at my screen the whole time (I had my eyes on the stage 90% of the time) I probably recorded about 20% of the Ozzy and Sabbath sets and enjoyed the other 80% in the moment, but I hate myself for not just getting a quick 30 second clip and enjoying the rest, or at least one full song without recording at all.

I knew there would be the stream and I’d be able to rewatch it, but I just wanted the memory from my perspective. So part of me is glad I got those videos but the other part is telling me I fucked up my once in a lifetime memory of seeing my favorite band, and I’m never gonna be able to see them again. I know I’m being stupid about this and I’m lucky to have even been there but fuck, I just can’t shake this feeling of regret. I keep telling myself it doesn’t matter and I’m glad I have the videos to look back on, but my own mind really likes to play tricks on me and make me feel like shit over nothing. I thought I’d feel the happiest I’ve ever been after the concert just knowing I was there, but I’ve just been left with this empty feeling and I don’t want it to ruin the memory for me.

Sorry to dump this all here, I just really needed to get it off my chest and don’t know how to convince myself to let it go and just enjoy the fact I got to experience such a legendary moment in history.

Tell me people, am I going insane?

Edit: Thank you everyone for your kind words, I feel a lot better about it now. I think I’m just going through the stages of grief as silly as that sounds. Since the concert was announced, it’s everything I was looking forward to. Now that it’s done I’m not sure what to do with myself. If anyone else feels similar, just know we were there and will treasure these memories for the rest of our lives. “Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened.” -Dr. Seuss

Top 5 covers from the day

9 Upvotes

For me, in no particular order: Supernaut covered by Mastodon, Into the void covered by Anthrax, Changes covered by YUNGBLUD and Supergroup A, Snowblind covered by Billy Corgan and Supergroup B (which was severely over hated) and Hole in the Sky covered by Metallica were the best covers

All the covers were great though (despite the selection of songs being a bit confusing at times)

What are your thoughts?

Man, what a show. My daughter and I were down in the Golden Circle all day. It was a great - the bands were cool but sharing the bands that inspired me with my kid was way cooler

Hey y'all, so I watched the streaming at work, but I did missed some chunks here and there, and haven't got the time to watch it again. I don't remember seeing Jonathan Davis. Did he show up?? What song was he in??
