Supernaut by Black Sabbath
Black Sabbath's Supernaut, from their 1972 album Vol. 4, is less a song, more of a volcanic release of rhythm and riff. It delivers pure proto-metal ecstasy. From the moment Bill Ward's drums erupt into that hypnotic groove, you know you're on a crazy train that refuses to brake. Tony Iommi's guitar riff - dry, jagged and endlessly infectious - is one of his finest. It buzzes like electricity surging through a steel mill. Underneath, Geezer Butler's bass coils and snaps, locking you into a pulse that feels like it was forged under pressure and cooled in blood. And, of course, there's Ozzy. Ozzy Osbourne's vocals aren't the eerie howls of doom from earlier Sabbath records. Here, they're playful, defiant, manic. His voice rides the rhythm with fearless swagger, declaring, 'I want to reach out and touch the sky/ I want to touch the sun but I don't need to fly.' This is Icarus on bat wings. 'Supernaut' isn't just heavy - it grooves, it breathes, it celebrates. In the pantheon of Sabbath songs, this track stands especially tall: a gritty, glorious hymn to unfiltered freedom.

Zakk Sabbath is paying tribute to Ozzy Osbourne on tour this fall. Get tickets
Vivid Seats is the New York Post's official ticketing partner. We may receive revenue from this partnership for sharing this content and/or when you make a purchase. Featured pricing is subject to change. There's no replacing Ozzy Osbourne. The inimitable Black Sabbath frontman, who helped define and popularize heavy metal, passed away at 76 on July 22, 2025. A few weeks before his death, the 'Prince of Darkness' headlined his final concert, 'Back to the Beginning,' in his Birmingham hometown for 45,000 adoring fans. Over two sets — one with the members of Black Sabbath and another comprised of solo tracks — Osbourne performed ten classic songs including 'Paranoid,' 'Iron Man,' 'War Pigs,' 'Mr. Crowley' and 'Crazy Train.' And, while the world will never see another frontman quite like Ozzy, Zakk Sabbath will pay his respects to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame group on tour with special guest tribute acts Bonfire (AC/DC), Use Your Illusion (Guns 'N Roses) and Dark Label Society (formed by a Black Label Society member) this fall and winter. That includes Tri-State-based concerts at Waterloo, NY's The Vine at Del Lago Resort and Casino on Saturday, Nov. 22. After that, they hit Brooklyn's Warsaw on Sunday, Nov. 23 and Atlantic City's Caesar's on Saturday, Nov. 29. Zakk Wylde's faithful recreation of Black Sabbath is made up of metal vets like Danzig drummer Joey Castillo and Black Label Society bassist John 'JD' DeServio as well as Wylde himself, who served as Osbourne's guitarist for years and shared the stage with him at the 'Back To The Beginning' concert. 'Thank you for blessing the world with your kindness [and] greatness Oz — you brought light into so many lives [and] made the world a better place — you lived [with] the heart of a lion — I thank the Good Lord every day for blessing my life with you in it. I love you Oz. Beyond forever,' the 58-year-old shared via Instagram over video of the two jamming together in 2010. At all Zakk Sabbath shows, the group typically performs 13 blistering renditions of tracks originated by Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Bill Ward and Geezer Butler. One recent gig in Munich included 'N.I.B.,' 'War Pigs,' 'Supernaut,' 'Snowblind' and 'Behind The Wall of Sleep' among others, according to Set List FM.

Ozzy Osbourne's Final Bow: 5 Big Moments From Black Sabbath's Farewell Show at Villa Park
Black Sabbath brought their iconic story full circle on Saturday, July 5, with a massive one-day concert called Back to the Beginning at Birmingham's Villa Park. The show, featuring Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward, marked the legendary band's final performance in their hometown, where heavy metal was born. Over 45,000 fans filled the home ground of Aston Villa F.C. to celebrate Black Sabbath's last stand. According to Billboard, the event, which donated all proceeds to charities like Birmingham Children's Hospital, honored the band's influence and gave fans one final chance to see the original lineup together. Below are five standout moments from Black Sabbath's farewell show: Mastodon set the tone with 'Supernaut' American heavyweights Mastodon opened the show with a powerful cover of Black Sabbath's Supernaut. Drummer Brann Dailor stepped up for lead vocals and delivered a performance that stayed true to Ozzy's raw energy. The finale featured members of Gojira and Tool adding extra percussion, setting the mood for a day full of collaborations and tributes. Lamb of God light up Villa Park Lamb of God brought intense energy with their groove metal hits. Frontman Randy Blythe worked the crowd into a frenzy, creating huge mosh pits. 'Thank you to the four Sabbath members for inventing metal,' Blythe told the crowd before throwing his shoes into the audience, leaving fans roaring. Nuno Bettencourt's moving moment with Yungblud Extreme guitarist Nuno Bettencourt spent more time on stage than any other performer, appearing in various supergroup sets. He teamed up with Sleep Token's drummer II and Yungblud for a heartfelt cover of Sabbath's Changes. Sharon Osbourne was seen in tears during the song, which felt deeply personal due to its connection to Ozzy and Kelly Osbourne's version. Metallica deliver heavy hits Metallica kept the energy high with their set, opening with Hole in the Sky before moving into classics like Creeping Death and Master of Puppets. The band showed no signs of slowing down, with Robert Trujillo's signature moves and Lars Ulrich's powerful drumming giving Villa Park an electrifying jolt. Ozzy's final words and Sabbath's last songs Sitting on an ornate chair with a giant bat above him, Ozzy Osbourne told fans, 'I've been laid up for six f—ing years, you have no idea how much this means to me.' He powered through five solo hits, with his voice as strong as ever. The show closed with Sabbath's original four playing War Pigs, N.I.B., Iron Man, and ending on Paranoid. Geezer Butler's bass lines stood out, reminding everyone why Sabbath remains the backbone of heavy metal.
