Bonus Tracks (2002 Remastered)
- "The Liar" (Osbourne, Wylde, Daisley, Sinclair) - 4:29
- "Miracle Man (live)" (Osbourne, Wylde, Daisley) - 3:47
Subject Matter
- "Miracle Man" is about the Reverend Jimmy Swaggart's 1988 prostitution scandal and the general hypocrisy, in Osbourne's eyes, of "televangelists". 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 dollar sign.
- "Bloodbath in Paradise" is about the Tate/LeBianca murders by The Manson Family. Although it is stated by Phil Alexander, Editor-In-Chief of Kerrang! 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 Viet Cong. However, mentions of "Helter Skelter", both a Beatles song and Manson's name for his predicted apocalyptic war, are frequent within the song further deepening the references towards Manson.
- "Demon Alcohol" is about the dangers of alcohol, much like "Suicide Solution" from Blizzard of Ozz.
