The long-unreleased Ozzfest documentary ‘We Sold Our Souls For Rock ‘N’ Roll’ will finally be released.
Director Penelope Spheeris said in a new interview, “…it has Black Sabbath, original Black Sabbath, and Slipknot, Rob Zombie, System of a Down, it’s got Godsmack, Fear Factory, blah, blah, blah, blah, 10 bands in it, with Buckethead playing guitar in a cemetery. And it’s a great film. And Sharon [Osbourne] says she’s going to release it now. After 20 years.”
Spheeris added about the doc, “It’s like you are going on tour on the Ozzfest and you’re seeing all these bands. I went on a tour bus and went to, like, 30 cities and filmed all the 10 bands. And I respect the bands … I used to wake up in the morning, lay in bed, cry for a half an hour before I get out of bed because I never got the movie released. And now, I mean, it’s a historical document at this point of 1999 Ozzfest.”
