Zakk Wylde...[views:11347][posts:74][poll! to vote:click here] to view:click here] _____________________________________ [Nov 30,2004 1:06pm - RustedAngel ""] Am I the only one who doesn't think he's that great? :wiggam: |
| _____________________________________ [Nov 30,2004 1:08pm - Christraper ""] youre insane. zakk wylde can play circles around anyone on this board. i only like his stuff with ozzy though. |
| __________________________________ [Nov 30,2004 1:09pm - powerkok ""] have you ever seen him play a live solo? If you have, and youre not impressed, then youre not watching close enough. |
| _____________________________________ [Nov 30,2004 1:09pm - RustedAngel ""] yes, I didn't say anyone on this board, especially I, was better than him. I'm merely saying from what I've heard from Ozzy, to BLS, none of the guitar playing was really revolutionary or anything. |
| __________________________________ [Nov 30,2004 1:13pm - powerkok ""] Ohh I totally agree, but when he goes out and does his 20 minute solo at live shows, like I said yesterday, I had NO idea how good he actually is. really amazing. |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 30,2004 1:15pm - paganmegan ""] I say nay simply because black label society makes me want to end my existance... ( over use of pinch harmonics and silly hick lyrics) stuff with ozzy is great however, he can definitely play a mean solo |
| _____________________________________ [Nov 30,2004 1:16pm - RustedAngel ""] yeah, maybe I'm missing something, or haven't heard a certain song or whatever. I've heard 2 BLS albums, one heavy, one mellow...and some of the new ozzy stuff. I may have heard one solo that sounded pretty good. You'd think with BLS he'd go even more crazy with guitar shit since it's his material. As far as guitar virtuoso's, I'd pick Vai/Malmsteen over Wylde anyday. |
| _____________________________________ [Nov 30,2004 1:16pm - Christraper ""] i dunno dude. to each his own i suppose. but any guy who goes out of his way to pick every note of his solos and not use any hammer on/pull offs is pretty kickass in my book. |

| ________________________________ [Nov 30,2004 1:18pm - Abbath ""] i just think his a bad ass motha |
| _____________________________________ [Nov 30,2004 1:19pm - RustedAngel ""] I love pinch harmonics just as much as the next guy, but yeah, I think wylde does overuse them in a couple of songs that I know of. |

| __________________________________ [Nov 30,2004 1:21pm - powerkok ""] ya I also agree, he does those, vibrato pulls at the end of all of his pinches, and I think that takes away from the coolness of a pinch harm. |

In every song I've heard!! Even in an acoustic/mellow one he felt the need to blast in with power chords and pinch harmonics! :tightiewhities: theres tasteful use, and then theres overuse. Chuck was great for throwing in a nice tasty pinch here and there, but zakk wylde needs to calm the fuck down with those |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 30,2004 1:23pm - paganmegan ""] and the low string pinches, that comprise basically the entire riff I find repulsive and annoying after awhile |
| __________________________________ [Nov 30,2004 1:26pm - powerkok ""] ya, those r what I was talkin about...the 'werooooos' |
| ____________________________________________ [Nov 30,2004 1:26pm - Todd(bombshelter) ""] He does an amazing rendition of the Star Spangled Banner,he did that at chantilly's ,all i gotta say is holy shit! |

I'm a guitar player and have been forever, i like guitar driven stuff, and i can honestly say that im not a huge fan of BLS, i like some of the Ozzy stuff, but that def does not do Zakk Wylde justice. I've got some tracks on my comp that would make you shit your pants, just send me an im, ill send em over to u, aim: justin acr. |
| _____________________________________ [Nov 30,2004 2:03pm - Justin ACR ""] P.S. BLS is music he writes drunk in the studio, its not really pre-written, he even goes back and has to relearn the lyrics before he goes on tour. zakk's a drunken mess, but a cool dude, ive met him once before. |
| __________________________________ [Nov 30,2004 2:44pm - abhorred ""] B.L.S. is pretty good...but i never really got into them too much His stuff with ozzy rules and pretty much speaks for itself the albums that i fucking love though, are pride and glory and book of shadows |
| ________________________________ [Nov 30,2004 3:37pm - Hooker ""] His best shit is Book of Shadows. |
| _____________________________________ [Nov 30,2004 4:13pm - Justin ACR ""] Book of Shadows is awesome |
| ________________________________ [Nov 30,2004 4:17pm - Hooker ""] Totally underrated. |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 30,2004 4:18pm - paganmegan ""] zakk wylde is so not underrated he's on the cover of a guitar magazine every two months |
| ___________________________________ [Nov 30,2004 4:19pm - dreadkill ""] book of shadows is incredible. i like that one alot. pride and glory is good too. bls and ozzy aren't his best. |
| ___________________________________ [Nov 30,2004 4:20pm - dreadkill ""] his pinched harmonics remind me of little richard going "WOOOOOOOO!" |
| ________________________________ [Nov 30,2004 4:58pm - Hooker ""] paganmegan said:zakk wylde is so not underrated he's on the cover of a guitar magazine every two months That album is underrated. Book of Shadows. Not Zakk Wylde himself. |
| __________________________________ [Nov 30,2004 5:06pm - abhorred ""] that album is amazing...if i put that in my cd player it dosen't come out for weeks |
| _____________________________________ [Nov 30,2004 5:06pm - KeithMutiny ""] i think he sucks... hairy balls |
| __________________________________________ [Nov 30,2004 5:10pm - WhyamIandasshole ""] Book of Shadows is the best I've heard. Pride and Glory is good too. He gets too into the whole vertuoso shit instead of writing songs like he used to. |
| ________________________________ [Nov 30,2004 5:13pm - Hooker ""] Now he's doing a shitty nu metal ozzy impression on everything. Going down hill just like the rest. |
| _________________________________ [Nov 30,2004 5:23pm - damnose ""] Zakk Wylde is a talented guy, but I don't think he's a great songwriter; his days with Ozzy were much better. I love his playing on Ozzmosis, and with Geezer on bass and Dean Castranova on drums he had an awesome backing band, which he seems to lack on the solo stuff. Also: for most blatant abuse of pinch harmonics (and there are many) see Crazy Babies. Man, the production on that album is terrible. It sounds like you're listening through a hole in the ground, and Ozzy and the band are playing in a cave 30 feet down. |
| _______________________________ [Nov 30,2004 5:44pm - moran ""] damnose said: he had an awesome backing band, which he seems to lack on the solo stuff. Listen to Pride & Glory, the best band he's had so far. Solid as shit. |
| ________________________________ [Nov 30,2004 5:49pm - Hooker ""] Definitely. Tichi and Lomenzo are fucking madmen. Best power trio since Mountain. Or... Rush... or any of the way better power trios before... them.. nevermind. |
| ________________________________ [Nov 30,2004 5:54pm - assuck ""] zakk is an incredible guitarist period |
| __________________________________ [Nov 30,2004 6:16pm - Kalopsia ""] i agree with you tom. yes he's a great guitarist, but nothing special in my ears |
| ______________________________ [Nov 30,2004 6:20pm - Blue ""] highly overrated. his earlier stuff was good, but then all of a sudden he decided to go super radio rock and proclaim himself a metal god, when what he does nowadays is far from metal. and he definetly gets waaaay too many mentions in guitar magazines. |
| ________________________________ [Nov 30,2004 6:24pm - assuck ""] Blue said: when what he does nowadays is far from metal. that is the stupidest thing you've ever said |
| ______________________________ [Nov 30,2004 6:38pm - Blue ""] shut up. i dont need this. |

| ___________________________________ [Nov 30,2004 7:13pm - Kessaris ""] I'm going to stand up for Blue here. Zakk Wylde is good, but I think he is greatly overrated. On top of that, he just does pentatonics and harmonics. And he just pushes down that wah pedal to dirty up the sound so it sounds better than it is. There are tons of better people out there so I really don't even waste my time with him. Overrated. Plus EMGs are weak!!! (that was for you Blue) He's a cartoon character rocker who goes on VH1 and acts all badass with his long beard putting down Bruce Dickinson for fencing and saying thats not metal. Who gets off saying Bruce Dickinson isn't metal? Seriously!!! |

| ________________________________ [Dec 1,2004 10:51am - assuck ""] i dont care if you dont like his playing, but to say that zakk wylde is far from metal is a little on the ridiculous side |

| ____________________________________ [Dec 1,2004 10:52am - paganmegan ""] zakk is metal, but he was better with ozzy, I personally feel |
| _________________________________ [Dec 1,2004 10:53am - damnose ""] oh yeah, I completely forgot about Zakk putting down Bruce. That's almost as dumb as Yngwie's fooking fury. And fencing IS metal, even if it's not much use against the Russian guns. |

| ________________________________________ [Dec 1,2004 10:59am - grundlegremlin ""] I read in an old magazine that his sister would catch him either playing air guitar or jerking off in front of a mirror.Who the fuck plays air guitar in front of a mirror????? |
| ____________________________________ [Dec 1,2004 11:01am - paganmegan ""] jerking off in front of a mirror because he used to look so much like a woman |
| __________________________________ [Dec 1,2004 11:01am - litacore ""] um...zakk or yngwie? both makes sense |
| ____________________________________ [Dec 1,2004 11:01am - paganmegan ""] sounds like an yngwie thing |
| ____________________________________ [Dec 1,2004 11:02am - paganmegan ""] he loves himself and his harmonic minor scales sooooo much |
| ____________________________________ [Dec 1,2004 11:03am - paganmegan ""] his solos are so uhhh masturbatory |
| ________________________________________ [Dec 1,2004 11:03am - grundlegremlin ""] It was Zakk. |
| ____________________________________ [Dec 1,2004 11:03am - paganmegan ""] well he looked like a chick |
| ________________________________________ [Dec 1,2004 11:04am - grundlegremlin ""] i wish my name was yngwie. |

| ________________________________________ [Dec 1,2004 11:07am - grundlegremlin ""] Don't forget about having a killer hairdo. |
| ___________________________________ [Dec 1,2004 11:11am - Jellyfish ""] Ive never liked him much. Randy Rhodes puts him to shame anyway. |

| __________________________________ [Dec 1,2004 11:47am - litacore ""] I like mantas haha, that solo in "Lady Lust" is so technical |
