An enormously talented player, Wylde learnt his trade around the Asbury Park district of New Jersey, including a stint in Bruce Springsteen's old hangout, the Stone Pony. He sent a demo tape to Osbourne in 1987, and was hired by the ex-Black Sabbath vocalist after only one audition. He subsequently featured on No Rest For The Wicked (1988), No More Tears (1991), Live & Loud (1993) and Ozzmosis (1995). By the time the latter album appeared, Wylde had already left the Osbourne fold to form his own power trio, Pride And Glory. Following the break-up of this band, Wylde released his solo debut, 1996's Book Of Shadows, a largely acoustic set featuring former Pride And Glory bass player James Lomenzo and drummer Joe Vitale. His latest venture is Zakk Wylde's Black Label Society, which has seen Wylde return to the traditional heavy-riffing style of his work with Osbourne. Originally released in Japan in 1998, Sonic Brew was recorded with the help of drummer Phil Ondich and was released in the USA by Spitfire Records.

Ozzy Osbourne - No Rest For The Wicked

It seems No Rest For The Wicked has become "The Ozzy Album That Time Forgot." For many, Blizzard of Ozz and Diary Of A Madman are Ozzy's best albums. At the same time, The Ultimate Sin and Bark At The Moon are considered his weakest. No More Tears and Ozzmosis also get their share of critical acclaim and recognition. But it seems that for most fans, No Rest For The Wicked is just "there" and is pretty much regarded as "that other Ozzy album." Well, here's one fan that definitely has not forgotten this little gem. While I definitely won't deny that Blizzard of Ozz and Diary Of A Madman are very good albums (especially Madman), I find No Rest For The Wicked to be both Ozzy's heaviest and most enjoyable album.

The first thing that must be said about this album is that Zakk Wylde's guitaring is simply amazing. For those who were slightly disappointed with Jake E. Lee's performance in Ozzy's previous two albums, Wylde will definitely blow you away with his outstanding solos and catchy riffs. Unfortunately, he doesn't really do any of the neat guitar tricks Randy Rhoads did back in his day. But that isn't such a huge loss.

Second of all, Ozzy sings with almost as much passion as he did on the original Blizzard of Ozz (and that passion is probably what made Blizzard his most popular). Fire In The Sky, for example, seems to be a song Ozzy really got into when singing it, especially during its chorus.

Finally, the album as a whole is extremely powerful. The guitars and drumming seemingly go hand in hand to give the album a very heavy/pounding sound to it. This makes it very fun to listen to and definitely a good get-going type album.

So overall, this is one album that definitely should not be overlooked by Ozzy fans nor metal fans in general. It basically features everything we've all come to expect from Ozzy.. and more.

A step-by-step breakdown of the guitar styles and techniques of the late Randy Rhoads, Jake E. Lee and Zakk Wylde. Includes hits (with CD note for note performances) from the albums Blizzard of Oz and No More Tears. Great care has been taken to recreate the tones and mix of the original recordings, with one exception - the featured guitar part is isolated on the right channel, and the other instruments are isolated on the left channel.
