In a jaw-dropping tribute to Ozzy Osbourne, Jack Black joined forces with an extraordinary lineup of young rock prodigies to deliver a fiery, unforgettable cover of “Mr. Crowley.” The collaboration featured Roman Morello on guitar, Revel Ian and Yoyoka Soma on dual drums, and Hugo Weiss on keyboards—each a rising star in their own right. Jack Black, known for his love of heavy metal and theatrical performance style, channeled the spirit of Ozzy with wild-eyed intensity and powerful vocals, fully embracing the dark mystique of the song.
Roman Morello, son of legendary guitarist Tom Morello, stunned listeners with note-perfect renditions of Randy Rhoads’ iconic solos, showing maturity far beyond his years. Behind the kit, Revel Ian—son of Anthrax’s Scott Ian—laid down a thunderous backbone while Yoyoka Soma, the drumming sensation from Japan, added explosive precision and flair, creating a dynamic, synchronized dual-drum assault. Swiss keyboardist Hugo Weiss provided the haunting organ intro and eerie synth textures that gave the performance its chilling, gothic atmosphere.
The collaboration was part of the Metal Lords project and quickly became a viral sensation, not just for its star power but for the sheer passion and talent on display.
Together, they didn’t just cover “Mr. Crowley”—they resurrected it with blazing youth, raw energy, and deep reverence for metal history.
Ozzy Osbourne’s long-overdue solo induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is shaping up to be one of the most unforgettable moments in rock history—and it’s packed with jaw-dropping details. The Prince of Darkness will be honored not just for his groundbreaking solo career but for redefining heavy metal with raw emotion, theatrical chaos, and unforgettable anthems. But what’s sending shockwaves through the rock world is the announcement that Wolfgang Van Halen will be taking the stage to perform a blistering tribute to Ozzy, playing guitar on a fiery medley of “Crazy Train,” “Mr. Crowley,” and “No More Tears.” Wolfgang, channeling the legacy of his father Eddie Van Halen, has called this moment “an honor of a lifetime.”
The Hall is also bringing back members of Ozzy’s original solo band—Zakk Wylde, Rudy Sarzo, and Tommy Aldridge—for a surprise jam session. Sharon Osbourne, tearfully introducing Ozzy, will speak about his battle with Parkinson’s, calling the induction “a victory over everything he’s faced.” Even more emotional: a short video message from Tony Iommi, praising his old friend and Black Sabbath co-founder.
The crowd is expected to include rock royalty like Slash, Rob Halford, and even Paul McCartney. With pyrotechnics, tributes, and raw emotion, Ozzy’s Hall of Fame moment promises to be loud, legendary, and deeply personal—leaving fans speechless.
