Sean Daly of The Washington Post reviewed the Ozzfest 2004 traveling festival when it hit the Nissan Pavilion in Bristow, VA Sunday (July 18).

"With all apologies to the lovable burnout who created this still-mighty bacchanal of 20 beastly bands, lumbering Sasquatchian riffs and a truly sinister food-and-fun midway — featuring a $5-a-try game called 'Kick Me in the [Bleepin'] Head, [Bleeper]!' — it was Halford's recently reunited Judas Priest and not Ozzy Osbourne's recently reunited Black Sabbath that the skin-on-skin Ozzfest crowd was most excited to see," Daly wrote.

"Perhaps that was because the father of stoner rock and MTV's ditsiest dad is downright everywhere these days. Halford, the father of the 1970s New Wave of British Heavy Metal movement, which turned sheer loudness into speedy goodness, hasn't been seen since 1993. That's the year he bitterly parted ways with JUDAS PRIEST after revealing — much to the band's surprise (hahaha) — that he was gay."
