Guitarist Daron Malakian told the crowd prior to the song: “I want to thank Ozzy Osbourne. We want to thank Ozzy Osbourne. The Ozzfest … We did a few Ozzfests. Some of you are old enough that you were there. Some of you weren’t even born yet. I want to thank Ozzy Osbourne. We want to thank Ozzy Osbourne.”

The crowd then broke into a chant of “Ozzy! Ozzy!”
