No More Tears - Overview

Overview

Guitarist Zakk Wylde contributed songwriting and guitar to the album, while Motörhead's bassist/vocalist Lemmy co-wrote the lyrics for four songs. Although Mike Inez performs in the album's videos and promotional tours, long-time Ozzy Osbourne bassist Bob Daisley plays on the entire album. Though Inez was an official member of the band, Osbourne and his manager/wife Sharon had a longstanding working relationship with Daisley and had also asked him to write lyrics, as he did for all of Osbourne's solo releases to that point. While his bass playing remains on the album, it is said that Daisley's lyrics were not used.

Inez is credited as a writer for the title track. Although he does not perform on the song, the intro bass riff was composed by him. Osbourne stated on VH1's Behind The Music that Inez was involved in the album's writing process.

The 2002 reissue of No More Tears featured two additional tracks entitled "Don't Blame Me" and "Party with the Animals". Both tracks had originally been released in 1991 as the B-side of the "No More Tears" single.
