From Black Rain (2007). Black Rain is the tenth studio album by the English heavy metal singer Ozzy Osbourne, released 22 May 2007 via Epic Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Custom through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Ozzy Osbourne's other songs from Black Rain, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
