Ozzfest blends new heavy bands with master metal icon

All inhibition, sanity and -for much of the crowd - clothing was shed when Ozzfest rolled into Phoenix last night.

With an audience that spanned nearly five generations, each band added their own personal touch to a festival depicted to the celebration of fervent emotion, loud screams and for the most part, indistinguishable lyrics.

In true festival form, fans were treated to side shows like "Be the Meat in a Lesbian Sandwich," and "Ride the Bull From Hell." Tattoo artists and photo booths were also present, giving fans distractions from the performers.

Still, the night belonged to the music and Osborne, whose career of hard-hitting metal music has defined and inspired years of hard-core rock fans.
