Bark at the Moon, Ozzy Osbourne's third solo album, howled out of Epic in 1983 with the Prince of Darkness in the producer's chair and a new gunslinger at his side: it's the first Ozzy record with guitarist Jake E. Lee, and the only studio album with drummer Tommy Aldridge. Four years after Black Sabbath showed him the door, Ozzy was still proving he didn't need them.
The title track is a full-moon monster movie on vinyl, Lee's riffs slicing and snarling while Ozzy wails over the top, and "Rock 'n' Roll Rebel" is a defiant fist in the air. It's glossy, galloping heavy metal built for arena stages. The fans lined up: it reached No. 19 on the Billboard album chart, went gold in the US within weeks, and by 2000 had sold over 3,000,000 copies there.
