Another Killer Ozzfest

2007-08-17 by Dave de Sylvia EMERITUS | 26 Comments
What's the price of a ticket to Ozzfest this year?

Your life, apparently.

Two men in their mid-twenties fell unconscious at last night's (Thursday) Ozzfest gig in Holmdel, New Jersey's PRC Arts Center. Both Raymond Guarino, 26, and Patrick Norris, 24, were pronounced dead at Bayshore Hospital, having both been resuscitated in the parking lot outside the venue. A total of 83 people were arrested.

Traces of alcohol, marijuana and cocaine were found in both men's bodies; Guarino was taken ill around 3.15 p.m., while Norris collapsed as the show drew to a close at 10 p.m. The PNC Arts Center has banned alcohol from the parking lot before shows, beginning with tonight's (Friday) Velvet Revolver concert, putting them in the awkward position of profiteers from the tragedy.

It's hard for me to feel bad for them, but it's a shame.
As cliche as it is, drugs are bad.

This is a bummer, but banning alcohol from a parking lot isn't going to fix it. People are either A) going to say "fuck it" and do it in the parking lot anyway. B) Going to say "fuck it" and do it on the way to the venue. Or C) Going to say 'fuck it" and do it before they leave. Oh hey, drunk driving.

Not only that...but it doesn't take long to get fucked up off of blow, which was what probably did them in.

no, people deserve death when they take 3 drugs at the same time thinking it's safe. Anyone that stupid should be taken out of the gene pool.

I HAD 2 FUCKING TICKETS TO THIS SAME SHOW and I couldnt go! I go to shows all the time at PNC Bank Arts Center, there's atleast 50 undercover cops constantly nailing people in the parking lot. I know 2 guys who got arrested last week at an OAR concert there

Amen. Before they could only arrest people if they were drinking alcohol, not if they were drunk. Now they can arrest anyone who is drunk under the suspicion that they have been drinking in the parking lot.

Why were 83 people arrested?

I don't see why doing "traces" of alcohol, weed, and coca would kill someone. They were just pussies ;-p

lol, I am not here to defend this people but I do think it is fucking harsh to say death is completely justified to people who do multiple drugs at the same time. But then again I have a soul. This Message Edited On 08.17.07

the coke didnt kill them, It was probably the alcohol....hell it was the mixture of all three because mary jane is a downer, alcohol is a sedative, and coke is an upper... so fuck that sucked for them. I've smoked three joints, did 100 bucks of coke, drank 12 beers, and popped 6 xanax bars... My highschool years were fucking crazy man... I have calmed down a lot though, now I only drink and smoke. And believe it or not my friends were crazier than me. LOL

The biggest tragedy is that they died at ozzfest. They shoud have done this two weeks ago at SLAYER. At least they would have heard good music on their way out

marijuana is a hallucinagen not a downer, and not in the sense of seeing things, things become brighter and clearer, specially sounds.

I think its all your choice, but in America, there is very little information on safe drug use, its taught that it is all dangerous, so when people get into it, they do it stupidly or go all the way.
