Miracle Man
The first song Wylde wrote as Ozzy's guitarist, written on the 1981 Les Paul Custom he calls the Grail -- at that point still cream, because the bullseye came later, after he realised a cream Custom made him look like he was trying to be Randy Rhoads. EMG actives into a cranked JCM800 is a deliberately unforgiving combination: it is why the pinch harmonics scream on demand, and why the riff needs a gate rather than politeness.
