    Learn the stories behind all of Black Sabbath's classic songs, along with those from Ozzy's solo career.

    What was the meaning behind "After Forever"?

    How did Tony Iommi describe "I Am Going Insane (Radio)"?

    What was the feeling in the studio when Black Sabbath recorded the Grammy-winning "I Don't Want to Change the World"?

    One of the most successful, influential, and provocative bands of all time, Black Sabbath--dubbed "The Beatles of Heavy Metal" by Rolling Stone--and their colorful original frontman Ozzy Osbourne changed the landscape of popular music forever. Their comeback album 13, with an almost fully reunited lineup, raced to the top of the charts across the globe. This book tells the story of the band and all their classic songs, including "Paranoid," "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath," "Junior's Eyes," "Diary of a Madman," and "Mr. Tinkertrain,"as well as the hugely popular hits from Ozzy as a solo artist.
