Jack Black and Kids Cover Ozzy Osbourne for Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine’s Mom’s 100th Birthday

Jack Black was full School of rock for a sweet celebration.

The actor/singer, 54, attended the 100th birthday celebration for Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello’s mother, Mary Morello, and performed a cover at the event. Along with a band of 12- and 13-year-olds, including Morello’s son Roman Morello, the comedian covered Ozzy Osbourne’s 1980 classic “Mr. Crowley”.

The Rage Against the Machine musician, 59, shared a video of a performance over the weekend on Tuesday.

In the clip, band member Tenacious D joins a pre-teen guitarist, drummer, bassist and piano player on a makeshift stage — all of whom absolutely rip through the iconic metal song. Black, who was dressed in a matching shirt and shorts combo with a flame design, took over on vocals. He showed off his tough, soulful rocker chops, as he danced and waved his hand to the horns during the song.

The whole band held on fiercely and firmly. As Morello’s son performed a guitar solo – he even played the instrument overhead – the whole room cheered, a School of rock the actor joined him encouragingly rocking next to him.

“What an amazing mom and what an amazing life,” Black said at one point.

The cast of ‘School of Rock’: Where are they now?

In the caption of his Instagram post with the video, Morello called the performance an “exciting performance” and gave a shout-out to each of the performers. “Mary was pleased!” he said, referring to his mother, who turned 100 on October 1.

Morello also paid tribute to his activist mother with several Instagram posts over the weekend, including a photo of her edited on the cover TIME.

“HAPPY 100TH BIRTHDAY TO MY MOM, THE EXTRAORDINARY MARY MORELLO! I love you mom!” the videographer wrote in the caption.

He went on to honor her with a carousel of photos of her participating in protests and charity work, sharing in the caption how much she inspired his own activism. “This retired public school teacher from a family of coal miners in Illinois led a humble but powerful life,” Morello said. “When I asked her what her life philosophy was, she said: ‘Recognize people who have needs and help them. You accept everyone. You think everyone is equal. And you help whoever you can. That’s my philosophy.’”

He added: “As the most popular and radical member of the Morello family, it’s no surprise that she had friends and family from six continents at her party yesterday.”

Next year, he will take his show to Europe and the United Kingdom in early April.
