Why do people hate zakk wylde

Last edited: Oct 12, Feb 25, 16, 1, VulgarDisplay Diamond Member. Apr 3, 6, 2 He's good, but I don't judge him on his Ozzie Work.

His riff's and song writing for Black Label Society are great. His style really doesn't mesh with Ozzy's previous work so I can see why people don't like Zakk Wylde's writing. He's an ass in that he's a funny guy. The few times I've met him after shows he's really nice. Always will to take pictures with people, and just hang.

Mar 10, 0 0. I don't care if he's old enough to be my dad I'd let him tag me. Very noble. When I played the game as a kid, it was usually my dad that would let me tag him. I really, really hope to god that "tag" in this context doesn't mean what you think it means.

Listen from roughly to Dec 29, 29 But as soon as I heard that someone else was doing it, I immediately branched into other areas. Zakk often combines chicken pickin' with crunching distortion in a style that will eventually distinguish him from other players.

I want it to be my trademark, and I'll be doing more of it on the next album. The thing is, once I'm blaring through loud amps, I ain't gonna sound like Albert Lee.

I tried to explain that to Ozzy when we were doing the album, but he wouldn't listen to me. I also wanted to play more slide guitar and use the wah-wah pedal more. But the minute Ozzy hears a wah-wah, he immediately thinks of Jimi Hendrix. Zakk has come a long way for someone playing guitar for only seven years.

His first instructor was Leroy Wright, his football coach's Les Paul-toting son. He taught me the stuff he grew up on -- Frank Marino, Hendrix, Trower, players like that -- but when I saw an Albert Lee videotape, I ripped off every lick on it. Leroy got my ear in tune, taught me diatonic and pentatonic scales and how to change keys. He eventually suggested that I take classical lessons and sent me to a guitar teacher in Freehold [New Jersey]. After that I took lessons from this guy in Manhattan who studied with Christopher Parkening.

They had such closed minds, they didn't like any of the rock licks I'd play. I thought, I'll learn something so hard, they'll never be able to play it. The more I played it, the more I liked it. Once you know counterpoint and theory, it automatically improves your songwriting ability. When you're playing blues, you're not actually playing scales. You're bending and phrasing notes, jumping strings -- much closer to how a singer sings. I mostly played scales up until the time I saw those guys play.

I'd much rather wail out to some Di Meola stuff than anything else. John McLaughlin played pentatonics too, and he'd play 'em a million miles an hour.

Before long, Zakk himself started to give lessons. I was saving all my money to buy Les Pauls. I was such a pennypincher, I didn't even treat myself to McDonald's. Teaching guitar certainly wasn't going to make me rich as Hugh Hefner. Some of them got to be really good players. I'd show 'em something and three weeks later they'd come back playing almost as good as John McLaughlin!

Most of the other students liked playing guitar just for the fun of it; they didn't have the hunger that's needed to play really well. When I told them I was auditioning for Ozzy, they were all happy for me.

They knew I could play every Black Sabbath and Ozzy lick upside down and backwards. Lee -- Zakk's style falls somewhere between Iommi's rhythmic attack and Rhoads' carefully structured, often maniacally melodic playing.

Since I've always been a massive Black Sabbath fanatic, he's had a huge influence on my playing. I've been told that my playing is reminiscent of Randy's, but the main similarities between us are that we both favor Les Pauls and we're both blonde-haired. He's always smiling, always happy. At this point, the HSN hostess begins to extol the virtues of Esteban's guitars.

This cracks Zakk up completely. Seriously, I wanted to buy one of those guitars, just to say we got one - and because it says 'Esteban' on the headstock!

Zakk takes a deep swig from his bottle, and silently ponders the cruel irony of the situation. Originally posted by StringBreaker. He betrayed the shareholders!!! No wait, that was Michael Eisner. I've always been annoyed with actresses and musicians who invent fake stage names.

Jeffery Phillip Wiedlandt is his real name. What grade did he come up with "zakk wylde" in. But at least he invented TWO names. Its the assholes who invent ONE word names that i hate most. David Banner The hulk. Where would ozzy be without those harmonic squeals? Jarick Posted June 27, He can play most of these guys under the table. He isn't Jake E. Lee or Randy Rhoads. He doesn't hate America. Archived This topic is now archived and is closed to further replies.
