**Guns N’ Roses Spark Rumors of Epic Black Sabbath Tribute with Surprise “Sabbath Bloody Sabbath” Soundcheck in Norway**
Fans in Norway were left stunned—and buzzing with speculation—after Guns N’ Roses reportedly launched into a blistering version of “Sabbath Bloody Sabbath” during soundcheck ahead of their show this week. Though it wasn’t part of their official set, the unexpected tribute to the godfathers of metal instantly lit up social media, with fans wondering if this was just a warm-up… or a hint of something much bigger.
With the *Back to the Beginning* mega-concert just days away—set for this Saturday in Birmingham, Black Sabbath’s hometown—the timing couldn’t be more perfect. The once-in-a-lifetime event will feature a jaw-dropping lineup of rock and metal legends including Metallica, Slayer, Pantera, and more. But the heart of the night will be Ozzy Osbourne’s emotional farewell performance and the full reunion of Black Sabbath’s original lineup for what could be their final bow.
The possibility of Guns N’ Roses joining that tribute with a full-on cover of one of Sabbath’s heaviest anthems has fans more excited than ever. While Slash and Axl Rose haven’t confirmed anything, insiders say the band has been rehearsing multiple Sabbath tracks and are “in talks” to deliver a surprise during the show.
This wouldn’t be the first time GN’R honored the metal pioneers, but a live cover of “Sabbath Bloody Sabbath”—especially in front of Ozzy, Iommi, Butler, and Ward—would mark a defining moment in rock history.
As anticipation builds, one thing is clear: this weekend’s *Back to the Beginning* show isn’t just a concert—it’s a celebration of metal’s legacy, a passing of the torch, and a final thunderous bow for a band that changed music forever. And if Guns N’ Roses have anything to say about it, it’ll be done in the loudest, most unforgettable way
possible.
