There's no mistaking the elite players from those who are not. I've been playing live for 30 plus years with many recordings. It would probably take me another 30 years to get that good. If it was even possible. Zakk Wylde was pro level touring accomplished at the age of 17. What more needs to be said.
I don't care about the shit that people say about him, and his way of playin guitar. Zakk will be forever the best guitar player ever existed in the world... FOR ME!!! Strenght, Detemination, Merciless, beyond Forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Zakk Wylde is the best guitarist ever!It was so cool to hear his great songs like "TAZ","Miracle Man","Lowdown" and "All For You" in ONE medley!Amazing!
dude, i agree with the other guy. either you like BLS or ya don't. every album has been fresh, every album has been more than solid. great guitar player, song writer and singer. i have gotten so much enjoyment out BLS. including the pinch harmonics, which very simply, rock. the only crazy thing is how many songs would've been classic ozzy songs if he'd given 'em to the 'boss'... suffering overdue funeral bell stillborn just to name three....
the only thing that is plausible enough to be said about zakk's look is that it's BADASS! that's the look he portrays, there's absolutely nothing that's "poser" about him. Zakk Wylde is the fucking man!!!
@vannin666 Wasn't just the volume. Before he steps on the rotovibe you see him step on another pedal and it cleans up a little. That would be an over drive pedal he uses. The JCM 800 doesn't run with that much gain, but it's not a clean amp either. So when he steps on it to turn it off the amp is still dirty, but not so dirty he can't clean it up. I can tell you from my Marshall, AND I have the same pickups in my guitars as Zakk, they clean up OK, but he had to turn off the OD pedal too.
Great video! The video was shot in Roermond (near Eindhoven) at a musicstore called The Rock. Used to come there frequently and buy music. Where you one of Zakk's crew by the way?
he only uses the 11-70's for his really dropped tunings. he only drops the low E anyways (sometimes to B), so it's usually that one that's ridiculously heavy.
I could never get why people put Zakk at the bottom of Rock guitarist some people and Ozzy. Look at all the killer guitar players that came out of his bands Randy, Jake Lee and Zakk ect. They weren't really noticed untill they played with Ozzy?
haha dunno why I got thumbs down for that it's true! not saying he an't cool or damn good at what he does. Brutal Legend I thought was arse though :( RTS not my thing. everything eles great,RTS no
