METALLICA, OZZY OSBOURNE Interviewed Backstage At OZZFEST 2008; Audio Available

August 16, 2008

Audio interviews and backstage photos of METALLICA and OZZY OSBOURNE captured by Sirius Satellite Radio's Hard Attack at last weekend's one-day Ozzfest in Frisco, Texas are available at this location.

The AEG Live-promoted Ozzfest 2008 on Saturday, August 9 grossed nearly $3.5 million and almost 30,000 fans got to experience a 13-hour show filled with legends, cutting-edge acts and Ozzfest alumni who ignited three stages at Pizza Hut Park in the hard music-loving state of Texas, including one devoted to the state's bands.

"This year's Ozzfest was a huge success," said co-producer Sharon Osbourne, "and we couldn't be happier. There were so many great moments. We're looking forward to coming back to Dallas next summer and hopefully expanding it to a two-day event."

"Dallas was definitely the rock 'n' roll capital of the world last Saturday," said Randy Phillips, President and CEO of AEG Live. "Pairing OZZY with METALLICA, along with so many other great acts, was a match made in heaven for the 30,000 hardcore fans who were banging their heads at Ozzfest 2008. We can't wait to see what Ozzy has up his sleeve for 2009, as Ozzfest just keeps getting more exciting every year."

The official Ozzfest YouTube channel has been updated with a five-minute video clip featuring footage from this year's one-day stadium event on August 9, 2008 at Pizza Hut Park in Frisco, Texas. Watch it below.
