ThatвЂ™s the cool thing with rock вЂnвЂ™ roll. ItвЂ™s just really cool, but itвЂ™s totally wrong. We recorded it for the chorus, and for one of the new songs. I mean, I donвЂ™t read music, and itвЂ™s one song that we wrote recently, itвЂ™s got some really weird guitar stuff in it. ItвЂ™s just вЂ“ if they work and they sound right, then hereвЂ™s what theyвЂ™re called. вЂњI donвЂ™t know what half the chords are called. Do you actually know what those darn chords are called or did you just do them because they sound good? I do it on a 12-string, so itвЂ™s a different animal.вЂќ I especially love that itвЂ™s basically an F-major chord with the first finger off. Then the live performance we do on a 12-string. вЂњAnd then thereвЂ™s the bass notes too, on the chord patterns, they really play off of the bass notes on the chord patterns. And we stayed in this little area until the sun came up, and we came out with вЂClose My Eyes Forever.вЂ™ ItвЂ™s pretty funny, pretty amazing.вЂќ The magic is the open strings and those clever little voicings youвЂ™ve got and making the B and the high-E ringing a lotвЂ¦ He came up with the idea for the song, and we went into this little closet-type area where we had an amplifier and a guitar and a keyboard setup.

вЂњOzzy and I were just playing pool, and Sharon left.

вЂњAt the time, Sharon was my manager, when we wrote вЂClose My EyesвЂ™ вЂ“ вЂ™87, late вЂ™87, early вЂ™88вЂ¦ And Sharon and Ozzy had come to the studio where I was recording and we hadnвЂ™t written the song yet. Lita Ford said about how her successful song вЂњClose My Eyes ForeverвЂќ was created with Ozzy Osbourne:
