Ozzy Osbourne Stuns at Rams Season Opener, While Black Sabbath’s “Paranoid” Performance Remains Iconic

Heavy metal has always been defined by unforgettable live performances — and few artists embody this better than Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath. From Ozzy’s surprise appearance at the Los Angeles Rams season opener in 2022 to Black Sabbath’s legendary performance of “Paranoid” on Top of the Pops back in 1970, both moments highlight why these names remain central to the history of rock and metal.

In September 2022, fans were stunned when Ozzy Osbourne took the stage at the NFL Rams season opener in Los Angeles. Despite ongoing health challenges, Ozzy delivered a powerful performance, proving once again why he is called the “Prince of Darkness.”

🎶 The set included his then-new track “Patient Number 9” as well as the timeless classic “Crazy Train.” Backed by longtime guitarist Zakk Wylde, Ozzy’s voice and energy electrified the crowd and reminded fans worldwide of his enduring legacy.
