The song switches between grinding alt-metal riffs and eerie, melodic verses, and in the chorus Neil sings, “Don’t let them take the cr...

But it was a concept perfectly timed for him to open with “Bark at the Moon” during a solar eclipse. The performance happened in August 2017 at the Moonstock Festival in Carterville, Ill., and, as you can see in the video above, the sky was relatively bright when Osbourne and his band took the stage to music from Carl Orff’s Carmina Burana. But less than two minutes into “Bark at the Moon,” everything went dark. The fan who shot the video panned up to capture the very moment ...
