Royal Playboy Cartel

PRAGUE, Czech Republic — Strahov Stadium has had it all — communist rallies, anti-globalization protests, gymnastics exhibitions, drive-through movies and, now, Ozzfest.

The structure, which stands as the largest stadium in the world per square foot, lent itself well to Ozzy Osbourne and his latest touring comrades, who hit the venue Thursday night for the seventh stop on the metal tour. With their stage parked in the middle of the field, the hard rockers used only half of the 200,000-capacity stadium, carving out an almost cozy cradle for Bohemia's metalheads within the concrete monolith.

Royal Playboy Cartel, Metelium, Anti-Product and Skywor took the stage earlier in the day to help heat things up for the headliners. - MTV.com

The first band that we caught was called Royal Playboy Cartel. They were from New York and were quite good; kind of a cross between Tool and Korn. They were very tight and had a lot of energy. All of the smaller opening bands were only given 20 minutes to play, and these guys really made the most of their 20 minutes in Strahov, they even did a Beatles cover! It’s a tricky thing to pull off good cover songs, but their rendition of Eleanor Rigby was damn good. - prague.tv
