Last Saturday, Villa Park transformed into a heavy metal haven as Black Sabbath played their final concert. But amid the earth-shaking live sets honoring Birmingham’s legendary metal band, a surprise tribute video caught everyone’s attention. The star? None other than Jack Black, longtime friend of Ozzy Osbourne and rock’s ultimate funnyman.
Jack delivered a wildly entertaining recreation of Ozzy’s iconic “Mr. Crowley” video, backed by a band of talented teenagers who brought serious School of Rock vibes. Uploaded to Ozzy’s official YouTube channel, the clip quickly went viral, racking up over 1.2 million views in just 24 hours. Fans were eager to witness Jack’s unique blend of humor, heart, and metal passion.
True to his style, Jack went all out—fake eyes wide with rock-star intensity, rocking a bedazzled navy shirt, and throwing himself into the performance with infectious energy. His vocals closely matched Ozzy’s haunting style, while his theatrical antics made the tribute feel both hilarious and genuine.
The highlight came when young guitar prodigy Roman Morello unleashed a scorching solo, backed by tight playing from the rest of the teen band. Jack headbanged furiously alongside them, fully embracing the wild chaos that defines heavy metal. The keyboardist added lush organ sounds, completing the epic vibe of the cover.
Fans loved the performance, flooding the comments with praise and jokes like, “You can take the man out of School of Rock, but you can’t take the School of Rock out of the man.” This tribute perfectly captured the joyful chaos and spirit of heavy metal, celebrating Ozzy’s legacy in a way only Jack Black could.
If you haven’t seen this video yet, it’s definitely worth a watch—whether you’re a die-hard Sabbath fan or just here for the pure, unfiltered fun. Jack Black’s tribute is a reminder of why rock and metal will always have a special place in our hearts.
