Mr. Nut AKA Mr. Vegas is a huge Ozzy and Black Sabbath fan so when Ozzfest made a stop at New Jersey’s PNC Arts Center in June, 1999, Jimmy Nut picked up a pair of tickets for us to sit dead center in the first 20 rows with the theory that security would be beefed up to protect us from unruly, and possibly intoxicated metalheads of all shapes and sizes, rushing and crushing the stage. His concerns seemed to be well founded as a young man was swimming in a puddle in the parking lot when we arrived. My best memory of this New Jersey Ozzy road trip was seeing Slipknot on stage for the very first time in full masked regalia and moving back a few rows as when they hit the stage they scared me; specifically the one Slipknot band member perched on the spring loaded drum. Ozzfest was an awesome rock and roll traveling circus with something for every music lover to enjoy in a variety of metal maniac flavors.

Toxicity

Rock on!
