With apologies to your teenage self playing in the garage on the weekends, Ozzy Osbourne and his generals have gathered in their masses and determined: This shit rocks. As part of his 2023 album On Top of the Covers, T-Pain and his backing band debuted a live version of Black Sabbath’s “War Pigs” in December, a performance that finally found itself in Osbourne’s eyelined orbit on January 10. (For those unaware of how good of a non-auto-tuned voice T-Pain has: Welcome, but also, where have you been?) “This is the best cover of ‘War Pigs’ ever,” Osbourne wrote of the seven-minute swagger opus. “Why didn’t you guys call me?” Yes, great question. “You’re always invited. Top of the list, every time! Thank you so much,” T-Pain responded. “Means a lot coming from the greatness himself.” Don’t worry, no bats were harmed here, go and enjoy.
