After quite a humorous appearance from Jack Black and his cover and recreation of "Mr. Crowley," it's become a bit difficult to predict what will come next at Black Sabbath's Back To The Beginning celebration. After sound, and quite standard performances in the grand scheme of things from Alice In Chains and Gojira, Back To The Beginning decided to throw a spanner in the works with a star-studded drum-off.

Chad Smith of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Danny Carey of Tool, and Travis Barker of blink-182 ended up taking to the stage to compete against one another, with footage available from Metal Hammer UK below. Who do you think won?

After the drum-off, the second supergroup of the night took to the stage, featuring Billy Corgan of The Smashing Pumpkins, K.K. Downing of Judas Priest, Tom Morello of Rage Against The Machine, Adam Jones of Tool, and Danny Carey of Tool.

They performed a Judas Priest, an Aerosmith, and an Ozzy Osbourne track. Pantera followed with four tracks of their own. You can check out who performed which songs below.
