No Rest for the Wicked is the fifth studio album by English heavy metal vocalist Ozzy Osbourne. It was released on 28 September 1988 and was re-issued / remastered on 22 August 1995 and again on 25 June 2002. The album was certified gold in December 1988 and has since gone double platinum. It peaked at number 13 on the Billboard 200. The first album to feature guitarist Zakk Wylde and the first to feature bassist Bob Daisley since Bark at the Moon.
Overview
No Rest for the Wicked is the recording debut of lead guitarist Zakk Wylde. After parting ways with lead guitarist Jake E. Lee in 1987, Osbourne received a demo tape from Wylde and later hired him. Bassist/lyricist Bob Daisley 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 Black Sabbath bandmate Geezer Butler for subsequent promotional tours.
"Miracle Man", "Crazy Babies", and "Breakin' All the Rules" were released as singles with accompanying music videos. The song "Hero" was an unlisted hidden bonus track on the original 1988 release, and at that time was commonly believed to be titled "Fools Know More". The song "Miracle Man" was a pointed barb aimed at disgraced televangelistJimmy Swaggart. Swaggart had long been critical of Osbourne's music and live performances, before he himself was involved in a 1988 prostitution scandal.
