Sometimes I’m against “Best Of” lists. Mostly because I never agree with them…so to remedy that - Team Roxy have created our own version of what we thought the highlights of ‘08 were. Scanning thru the ‘08 Roxy calendar - it was hard to narrow it down (which is a good thing)!
For the record - this started as a TOP 5…but some people *cough* Meg and Heath couldn’t make up their mind. Let us know what your favorite Roxy shows were! Thanks to everyone who contributed to making the year a success - from MYSPACE, to DIM MAK, and everyone in between. Viva 2009!
Yes yes yes. The rumors were true! The one and only Ozzy Osbourne took it to a whole other level last night and took the Camp Freddy Finale above and beyond! The man himself was in tip-top shape, and killed it!!
Straight from the horses mouth - check out Billy Morrison’s blog about the epic show last night!
Tired. Drained. Beat. Mentally Exhausted. Emotionally Bankrupt. Spiritually Enlightened. These words describe how I feel after five hours sleep and one of the best Camp Freddy shows in the bands seven years. The noise that the audience made when we brought the one and only Mr Ozzy Osbourne out to the stage was deafening. And Crazy Train, Iron Man and Paranoid brought the house down. I don’t care who you are - watching a true legend like Ozzy perform in a small club like that is a very special and very intense experience. Standing on the stage with him playing those iconic songs is beyond. Linda Perry, Steve Jones, Juliette Lewis, Naveen Andrews, Chris Vrenna, Mark McGrath and Royston Langdon were all part of the final show at The Roxy. And we closed the month long residency with Ozzy and huge smiles all around. The energy was electric, both from the completely sold out venue and the band onstage. Huge thank you’s go out to all the musicians and performers that took part in the shows with us. I hope everyone who played, came out, watched and experienced these gigs had as good a time as we did. I would imagine that pictures and video will be flowing freely as usual and when I get it all, I’ll put it up here. I want to wish everyone Happy Holidays and thank each and every one of you for the love and support. 2009, baby. More of the same coming your way soon.

Last night was pretty monumental - we saw the return of Limp Bizkit’s Fred Durst, Steve Lukather of TOTO, and Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top all rocking out! Paired with the always tenacious Navarro and Company - epic!

Also, don’t quote us on this…but if you happened to be listening to Jonesy’s show on INDIE 103.1 this morning you might have heard that the Prince of Darkness himself will be making an appearance at the Camp Freddy finale next week - true or false? We’re not saying…but it’s not to be missed!
If you were one of those eager Freddy Fanatics that purchased the Golden Ticket - tomorrow is the big day! You will need to be here at The Roxy at 5pm (just form a line out front) and make sure you have your Golden Ticket in hand. We want to see those pictures with band, so after the euphoria wears off - make sure you send us the pictures and I’ll post them on the blog! Want to join - click here to buy one!
