I scored front row tickets to see Ozzy on Halloween weekend in San Diego. It doesn't get much better than that.
On paper.
I got to shake his hand, got a pick from Geezer Butler, and I was rocking out. About 2/3 of the way through his set, Ozzy says, "You people aren't crazy enough. The craziest MF'er gets to come backstage with me and the band."
What happened next was nothing short of a riot. Dozens of people leaped onstage, there were moshpits EVERYWHERE in the audience, and it was one of the most chaotic things I've ever experienced. Being in the front row, people were using my head as a springboard to get onstage, while security was shoving the mass of humanity back in general, including using my face. Security eventually whisked Ozzy and the band off the stage, and the police made everyone call it a night. It was all over San Diego news that night, and on MTV news the next morning. I looked like I was on the wrong end of a fight when I got home.
