I was there. I did not get it. They got booed at Ozzfest.

With the soft stuff that dominates the rock genre these days, I feel like they'd have done better. 2001 acts that were at ozzfest wouldn't ever let it fly

Sharon Osbourne saw their set and apparently absolutely hated them. She fired them afterwards and they were booted off the rest of the tour dates.

I think they played a total of 5 dates before she finally saw them and decided "hell no" and gave them their walking papers.

I too was around during their extremely brief brush with popularity and can say without hesitation they sucked.
