Bassist/lyricist ] made his return to Osbourne's band after the two had a falling out in 1985. Once the album's recording was complete, Daisley was once again out, replaced by Osbourne's former ] bandmate ] for subsequent promotional tours. |
|
==Subject Matter== |
|
|
|
|
|
* "Miracle Man" is about the Reverend ]'s 1988 ] and the general hypocrisy, in Osbourne's eyes, of "]". In the video for the song Zakk Wylde wears a mask with the likeness of Swaggart and Osbourne cavorts with swine, his pants around his ankles, carrying around a large staff decorated with a ]. |

"Miracle Man", "Crazy Babies", and "Breakin' All the Rules" were released as ] with accompanying ]s. The song "Hero" was an unlisted hidden bonus track on the original 1988 CD and cassette releases. The song "Miracle Man" was a pointed barb aimed at ] ]. Swaggart had long been critical of Osbourne's music and live performances, before he himself was involved in a 1988 ].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.vh1.com/news/3486/greatest-celebrity-scandals/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150428160213/http://www.vh1.com/news/3486/greatest-celebrity-scandals/ |url-status=dead |archive-date=28 April 2015 |title=Order In The Court! 100 Celebrity Scandals That Rocked The Pop Culture Universe: #69 Jimmy Swaggart Caught With Prostitute |publisher=] |date= 9 April 2015 |access-date=10 November 2015 }}</ref> The song "Bloodbath in Paradise" references ] and the Manson Family murders. |
|
* "Bloodbath in Paradise" is about the Tate/LeBianca murders by ]. Although it is stated by Phil Alexander, Editor-In-Chief of '']'' Magazine, that it is about the Vietnam war in the 2002 remaster booklet, the song clearly refers to the Manson Family with lyrics like "You're comin' home - there's blood on the wall and Charlie / and the Family made house calls." This could be seen to conflate the two themes, as 'Charlie' was a nickname used by U.S. servicemen for the ]. However, mentions of "]", both a ] song and Manson's name for his ], are frequent within the song further deepening the references towards Manson. |
|
|
|
|
|
* "Demon Alcohol" is about the dangers of alcohol, much like "]" from '']''. |

Creative Director John Carver was hired by ] to conceptualize and direct the album sleeve for "No Rest For the Wicked". Carver's concept was to portray Osbourne as ], with photographer ] taking the cover photo. |
