Daniel Pota In 12 episodes we are monitoring battle between the bands to compete on the big Ozzfest. The Band that wins gets 50.000$, new equipment, record, and the tour on Ozzfest.... Most obstacles in the show a made by Ozzy himself, and its really interesting to watch how the pressure gets to band members. At the beginning we are introduced to every band separately, and then the chosen bands can only give 1 band member who is fighting for his band. And the tasks are really nice, I don't want to spoil it for you. The best thing to do is to watch it. Way to go Ozzy Osbourne, I wish that such thing was going around when I was younger :))))
realyslow This TV series kicked my world around, i don't use to follow this kinda stuff, but in this case i followed it and i did sure enjoy it. So what did happened in this metal series? well they picked up local unknown band and challenged them with some serious/humorous tasks. song writing, back staging, presenting different bands, and once in a while they was called in to Mrs and Mr Osbourne for hearing who's gonna leave, in my opinion it ought to be more series,soaps like this for us that don't want to watch the other mainstream stuff that we're Fed with. i like to close with the fact that they did some serious good stuff here for those band's, allowed them to show what they have for material and challenged them to try a bit harder.
