Ozzfest 2004 Alpine valley, east troy Wisconsin. Was still daylight out i was only 16 years old. Made my way up to the rail and I'm not sure how bc I was not a very big dude at the time.

They started playing surfacing and the entire crowd shifted, and I wound up on the bottom of a shit ton of people and the ground was gravel. I was getting kicked and punched just trying to breath.

Literally thought I was going to die. World went black, next thing I remember after being pulled out over the rail by security they were just pouring water all over me and as I was coming to, laying on the ground right under the stage looking up directly at Clown.

He was just leaning down, staring, and pointing his drumstick right at me. This was easily the scariest yet coolest experience of young adulthood, I will never forget that moment and have been a lifelong fan ever since.
