Watch Ozzy Osbourne Witness a Performance by Fast-Food-Themed Black Sabbath Parody Act

Mac Sabbath, the fast-food-themed Black Sabbath parody act, recently had the opportunity to perform for Ozzy Osbourne himself.

Mac Sabbath frontman Ronald Osbourne told Rolling Stone, "Being Ronald Osbourne, the front-clown for Mac Sabbath, isn't easy. I have to meet all these fry-by-night 'Drive-through metal' icons like Burger King Diamond, Cinnibon Jovi and KFCC DeVille, look them in the eye and pretend like my indigestion is not acting up. Today is quite different. Today I met Ozzy Freaking Osbourne. Some big clown shoes to fill."
