Ozzy Osbourne guitarist and Black Label Society frontman Zakk Wylde performed a heavy metal version of "The Star-Spangled Banner" Wednesday night before a Chicago Bulls/Toronto Raptors game in the Windy City.

Wylde's rendition includes all his usual shredding tricks while also being surprisingly tasteful.

Check out video below of the performance!
