Trivia
- No Rest for the Wicked was the first album to feature Zakk Wylde on guitar. He would remain with Osbourne for the next 17 years.
- The original release of this included photographs of all the band members involved in the recording of the album. One member, Bob Daisley filed a lawsuit against Osbourne in the early 90's for unpaid royalties for his songwriting credits for most of Osbourne's songs up to that time. As 'payback' for this, Osbourne's wife and manager, Sharon had all photos and references of Daisley removed from all subsequent pressings of the disc. Present versions now show photos of bassist Geezer Butler who was a member of Osbourne's band for the tour supporting the album after its release.
- The 2002 remasterd CD versions of the album includes the song "Hero" (unlabelled last track on the original CD release) and two bonus tracks: "The Liar" (originally available only in the Japanese edition) and a live recording of "Miracle Man".
