“Demon Alcohol” by Ozzy Osbourne

"Demon Alcohol" comes off No Rest for the Wicked, Ozzy Osbourne's fifth solo studio album, released in 1988, and the writing credit is split four ways between Osbourne, Zakk Wylde, Bob Daisley and Randy Castillo. That lineup was news in itself. The album was Wylde's recording debut, the guitarist having landed the gig through a demo tape and an audition after Jake E. Lee was fired, and it marked Daisley's return on bass after a falling-out with Osbourne in 1985.

Castillo plays drums and John Sinclair keyboards. Osbourne went after Roy Thomas Baker as producer after the drum sounds on Slade's You Boyz Make Big Noize impressed him, and Baker produced this one with Keith Olsen, who mixed it. Daisley was gone again once recording wrapped, with Geezer Butler taking over for the tours.
