A few weeks before the release of the track, Ozzy talked in an official statement about working with Iommi: “It was really great working with Tony. He’s the riff master. No one can touch him in that respect. I only wish we had these songs for Black Sabbath’s 13 album. Zakk is part of my family and always will be. The album needed that weight that his playing provides. He just came in and really sorted things out,” Ozzy Osbourne said.
