original description

It is the first track on his 1983 album Bark at the Moon. The song was composed by Osbourne and is four minutes and 16 seconds long. It is notable for its frenzied guitar work, with the main riff generally considered tricky to play. There are two guitar solos in the song, similar to Osbourne's previous song "Mr. Crowley," although that song featured a different guitarist, Randy Rhoads. Like Mr. Crowley both guitar solos are very technically difficult. Unlike Mr. Crowley however, the second solo is more frantic, and requires more skill than the first one. The first lasts from about 1:59 until 2:55, and the second, a shorter but more frenetic and high-pitched "outro" solo, from about 3:47 until 4:13 (the end of the song). It features animated voice work from Osbourne, including the famous wolf howl which opens the second solo. On this song, as well as on the entire album, Osbourne was lead vocalist, Jake E. Lee was lead guitarist, Bob Daisley was bassist, Tommy Aldridge was drummer, and Don Airey was keyboardist. The song itself is about a mythical beast that once terrorized a town, was killed and then resurrected itself to once more wreak havoc. The music video, however, is about a scientist who accidentally turns himself into a beast, is killed, and resurrected as a free human again. This song is extremely similar to the Black Sabbath song Iron Man in its story, about a mythical figure coming back to life and killing innocent people. The songs are very different musically, though. This song marked the first recorded after the death of Ozzy's original guitarist Randy Rhoads, with replacement Jake E. Lee.
