Ozzy wrote Crucify The Dead lyrics for Axl Rose

Ozzy Osbourne was one of the many guests to feature on the debut solo release from Slash. The song ‘Crucify The Dead’ has been said to be about Axl Rose but Slash denied this when asked but now it has become clear, it is.

Slash sent Ozzy the music and he then sat down and worked on the melody and the lyrics for the song which he states he wrote the song as if he were Slash and the message he would send to Axl.

Ozzy comments that he reminds Slash all the time of what Guns N’ Roses could have been. “You guys could’ve been the next Rolling Stones, the next superband”.
