OzzFest 2001 With Papa Roach & Linkin Park Winds Down

NY (Top40 Charts) - OzzFest wrapped up this weekend with a two-date stint at New Jersey's PNC Bank Arts Center (August 11 and 12). Black Sabbath, Marilyn Manson, Papa Roach, Disturbed, Linkin Park, and Crazy Town were the main events.

Also helping close the tour were Zakk Wylde's Black Label Society, Mudvayne, Drowning Pool, Union Underground, Taproot, Pure Rubbish, Pressure 4-5, Nonpoint, Hatebreed, Spineshank, American Head Charge, Beautiful Creatures, and No One.

Papa Roach singer Coby Dick told about his personal tour highlight. "I met Ozzy Osbourne. He watched our set in Kansas City. I remember it because I looked to my left and I saw him, like, at the beginning of the set and then I looked in the middle of the set and he was there still. And then at the end of the set he was still there. He watched, like, our entire set. And he's like, 'Great show!' and, like, shook my hand. I was, like, 'Oh my God. I just received the power of Ozzy.'"

Dick added, "It was cool. He's a bad ass."

Ozzy Osbourne is set to release a solo album in October, while Papa Roach is heading overseas to play the European festival circuit.
