It wasn't the brainchild of Ozzy Osbourne, but rather his wife, Sharon.</div> <bR> <div> "The whole concept came from Lollapalooza a few years ago," she said during an sfx.com interview. "I heard they were talking to people like Tony Bennett and the singing monks from Tibet, and I thought ... I thought I could do better than that! We knew that kids weren't interested in 14 chanting monks and all this 'Up With People' stuff - they just wanted to have fun!"</div> <bR> <div> Ozzfest 2001 will surely bring all the fun and body-beating that one heavy metal fan could want. A "Pit Pass" will be given to 500 fans to gain access to the moshing area that will be created from the removal of the first several rows of seats. In addition, fans will be able to view all acts more easily as they rotate between the three stages. </div> <bR> <div> If the "Pit Pass" isn't enough motivation to attend, Black Sabbath hasn't toured since headlining the Ozzfest show in 1999.</div> <bR> <div> From singing about a Butterfly (Crazytown) to watching the self-proclaimed "Antichrist Super-star" (Mr. Manson) in action, Ozzfest has something to satisfy every craving of rock. </div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
