I posted this on the other forum, cause I wanted to get as much input as possible.....I will be getting a tattoo of the DOAM album cover in the next few weeks and to get me and the artist in even more of a Diary mood, I wanted to see if any of you had any cool anecdotes or stories about the album cover. Like does anyone have any more photos from that photoshoot, or does anyone know who the hell that little boy is..or did you know(Im sure most of you do) that the writing on the pice of paper on the back wall says "ozzy osbourne the band" and the writing on the lyric sheet says "friday" and "saturday"......stuff like that, you know anything like that?.......

That little boy is Louis Osbourne, Ozzys son from his first marridge.

If you check the Ozzy Heavy Metal photo book they have some pictures from the photo shoot! My favorite album and the cover is great as well.

The poster above is a UK promo poster for the LP the photos for that session were taking by rock photographer Fin Costello.
