"The Black Sabbath Born Again album sleeve was designed under extraordinary circumstances; basically what had happened was that the hoofed one and Ozzy had split very acrimoniously from her fathers management and record label."
"Then there was that time when Black Sabbath's manager Don 'Complete And Utter Fuckin' Bastard' Arden threatened to shoot my Heavy Metal Hunting Hound Bullseye which resulted in the band's Born Again album cover."
"His plans included recruiting Deep Purple vocalist Ian Gillan, getting recovering alcoholic/drug addict Bill Ward back in on drums, get them to record Born Again and stealing as many of the fuckin' hoofed one and Ozzy's team as possible."
Krusher Joule, a renowned heavy metal art designer, recounts the tumultuous circumstances surrounding the cover of Black Sabbath's 1983 album Born Again. The cover's garishness has sparked much discussion among fans and critics. Joule humorously refers to Sharon Osbourne as 'the hoofed one' and recounts a threatening incident involving her father, Don Arden. The album was created during a period of conflict between Black Sabbath and Arden, who sought to restore the band's former glory by recruiting new talent and undermining Ozzy Osbourne's team.
