There have been lots of great covers of the Black Sabbath classic “War Pigs,” but as we celebrate Ozzy Osbourne following his death this week at the age of 76, we turn to the man himself for guidance as to the very best cover. Enter T-Pain.
The pop singer/songwriter made his bones with an auto-tuned aesthetic, but he’s always had real pipes. In 2023 he released On Top of the Covers, which included a fire-breathing take on “War Pigs.”
“This is the best cover of ‘War Pigs’ ever,” Ozzy posted. “Why didn’t you guys call me?”
Check out Ozzy’s tweet below, and scroll onwards for T-Pain’s live performance of On Top of the Covers, with “War Pigs” starting shortly before the 49-minute mark.
