I had definitely crawled into the fire and kept thinking. “On the first record, ‘It was like I can’t believe I’m here.

And Zakk’s playing on it is spectacular.” But there was also lots of goofing around and we had a good time making it. Every song was worked on for a long time and we spent extra time trying to get things right. Sometimes you’re surprised for the better, but other times you’re disappointed, but John and Duane did an extraordinary job on the album. It’s so nice when you get a producer who’s more like a part of the band than them saying, ’nah, you do it this way.’ Because we write them and when you write the songs, you have a mental picture of how you think you want it to sound. Before we went into the studio, we discussed what we were going to do–everything was planned.

“We worked hard on the record with John Purdell and Duane Baron, who became extra two members of the band. “I have a lot of great memories of making the album,” Osbourne says of the album. The Grammy-winning track was one of the album’s four songs co-written with Osbourne’s longtime friend and colleague Lemmy Kilmister the others include “Mama, I’m Coming Home,” “Desire,” and “Hellraiser.” In addition, the album’s “I Don’t Want to Change the World” earned Osbourne his first Grammy for a live version of the track that was featured on his 1993 Live and Loud album.

Motorhead recorded their own version of "Hellraiser," too. “So, I got back, and he goes, ‘What do you think about these?’ And I go, ‘Oh, great.’ He then goes, ‘What about these?’ I go, ‘Oh, you got two?’ He goes, ‘No, I got another one – three.’ I go, ‘You have written three sets of lyrics?’ He said, ‘Yeah … and that book was crap!’ I said, ‘What book?’ He says, ‘The book you gave me.’”

“He’d write a bunch of lyrics for my songs,” Osbourne recalled earlier this year, noting that the Motorhead frontman had material ready after just a few hours. I made more money out of writing those four songs than I made out of 15 years of Motorhead – ludicrous, isn't it?"įor his part, Osbourne was blown away by how quickly Kilmister worked. “Sharon rang me up and said, 'I'll give you X amount of money to write some songs for Ozzy', and I said, 'All right – you got a pen?' I wrote six or seven sets of words, and he ended up using four of them. "That was one of the easiest gigs I ever had,” Kilmister said in his autobiography, White Line Fever, about writing with Osbourne.
