* SureLetsGoWithThat: As is mentioned above, Zakk Wylde had a white Les Paul that was nearly identical to the one Randy used, so he got it repainted. He wanted it to have a hypnotic black and white swirl, but the luthier messed up and painted a bull's eye instead. Zakk thought it was cool, and now it's his trademark.

* BerserkButton: He used to have some chickens, back when he was with his first wife. Said chickens never laid any eggs because, she told him, he never felt like feeding them. One night, after having not slept for 24 hours, doped up on cocaine and booze, the button was finally pressed, leading to one of the most hilariously twisted moments in his book.
** He blows a few chickens away with a shotgun, chases after the rest with a katana, sets the chicken coop on fire, and tosses the rest of his shotgun ammunition into the burning coop, causing many small explosions. And then his neighbor comes walking out, sees Ozzy wearing a tattered, chicken-bloodstained bathrobe, and simply says, "[[UnusuallyUninterestingSight Ah, good evening, Mr. Osbourne. I see you're back from America.]]"
** Also, [[https://data.whicdn.com/images/280925005/original.gif don't]] bring up the bat-eating incident to him in person.

* MoralGuardians: Not so much a target of them anymore since he's [[SeinfeldIsUnfunny not quite as shocking as he once was]], but he was a frequent target of them in TheEighties, due to his lyrical content, behavior, and songs that were taken out of context back then as a result of the SatanicPanic, but it seems to have dissipated when The Osbournes got on the airwaves.

Just For Pun cleanup.


* NewSoundAlbum: ''No Rest for the Wicked'' and ''No More Tears'' more so, due to Zakk Wylde bringing to the table a [[JustForPun wildly]] different style from his predecessors on the guitar, making them possible {{Trope Codifier}}s to AlternativeMetal.

** The song "No More Tears" is about a serial killer who kidnaps strippers, has sex with them, then tortures and kills them. Specifically, Ozzy has said that the song is about UsefulNotes/JackTheRipper.

** The song "No More Tears" is about a serial killer who kidnaps strippers, has sex with them, then tortures and kills them. Specifically, Ozzy has said that the song is about UsefulNotes/JackTheRipper. Since it's from the killer's perspective there's some slight hints about his twisted motivation - in the last verse the narrator claims to be "in love" with latest victim, and one possible interpretation of the title is the murderer justifying his actions as putting an end to suffering.
