If you wanted to here it played like the original, listen to the original. This is the "Zakk" version. The pinch harmonics are essentially his signature. You knew what you were getting into when you clicked the link.
Playing the opening notes out of key during the intro, then pinching the song to death seems a bit like a fuck you to tony. Zack should ask the jebus for forgiveness imho. fuck u zack, fuck u very much.
The problem here isn't the pinch harmonics. It's the bionic modern metal tone. I love his playing, but man this song requires more bass girth and less scooped crunch.
Wow, it's actually hard to tell if he was actually singing it or if they had the original recording playing, lol. He sounds almost exactly like young Ozzy here.
Tony Iommi is a classy player with more music in his missing finger ends than Zak has in his whole body. This is just an appalling noise - no class. Absolutely f..king abysmal - but I am sure Zak could be a decent guitarist but I have never hear him show it.
Rockets engines burning pinch harmonics so fast, off into the pinch harmonics nameless, through the universe the pinch harmonics whine, could it be the end of man and time? Back on earth the flame of pinch harmonics burns low, everywhere is pinch harmonics and zakk.
Not as hard as it seems especially on this type of song, Ozzy sang his lyrics with the riff as opposed to Dio who preferred to sing his lyrics across the riff, I love them both so this is not a comparison just two different vocal methods, I tend to sing with the riff when I write songs because my mouth and hand are executing the same rhythm, I find it very difficult to sing across a riff when I am playing.
it's like saying the word "fuck' too much. Strategically placed it has impact, but every other fucking word in a fucking sentence gets a little fucking redundant and fucking shows a very fucking limited fucking vocabulary.
Jake's still alive Brad's still alive Joe's still alive Gus' still alive Steve Vai's still alive Jerry Cantrell's still alive George Lynch is still alive
Zack Wylde should come up with about 100 songs that all pinch harmonics then someday Tony Iommi can cover Zacks work by replacing all of the PH's with bone crunching riffs. Oh wait that probably won't work.
Zakk is the guy that put pinch harmonics on the map in 1988! (No Rest for the Wicked) EVH popularized tapping. Zakk did the same with his distinctive pinch harmonics.
I saw zakk as a kid with ozzy years ago and he was seriously awesome. the style has got a little tiresome in its 2 dimensional bombast. but I guess that's what makes metal great. dime bag was 10 times the player this guy has remained.
+Captain Ron Well... the heaviest? Maybe. The best? Definitely no, although when he started he was really good, at some point I guess he lost it and became boring to listen after a couple minutes...
Totally agree - he's killed this classic riff with those pinched harmonics and a tone that sounds like a Flymo lawnmower through a Zoom 5050 going through my toaster (which is busted). Mind you, wouldn't say that to his face haha haha haha haha. Great guitarist :-)
Zakk's an awesome guitar player and I love him, but I agree with aldersmoke. This is an anthem of stoner-metal, and stoner metal needs a beefier sound. And for fucks sake, I clicked on here for a Into the Void Cover, not a collection of pinchharmonics and a Into the Void cover stuffed in (the cover itself was great).
Zak beats off to pinch harmonics!!....he needs to calm down on over using them. He definitely knows his way around a fret board. But, ease off a little on the squealies. Way over done. Tony wouldn't approve.
Outstanding vocals. Killer tone and the main solo is right on. At times, his tremolo picking is overwhelming. I guess he's doing what people want to hear. Zakk is a beast on guitar, but I'll take the old-school, dark Iommi melancholy SG sound without all the pinching.
No one should ever dog this man!!! Most are just fucking jealous because they will never be as good or even close to this man's shredding talent!!! Especially those that are never will be's!!! Zakk is the Jimi Hendrix of heavy metal!!! Brother Zakk is my hero!!!
nobody is jealous people are saying they don’t like it because of the constant pitch harmonics it totally ruins the mood of the song to me it doesn’t hold a candle to the original song but Soundgarden did an amazing cover Zakk has an excellent voice though he sounds just like ozzy
For fuck's sake everybody is talking about his pinch harmonics like that's all he does. From No Rest For The Wicked to Grimmest Hits this man hasn't delivered a bad album!
Who is better? Zakk or Slash? Sometimes i think Zakk is - sometimes i think Slash is!! Reply below with your vote! Help me decide. At this point im confused who is better. They are both so awesome its so hard to finally decide. Holler back to The Rock Dog and tell me what time it is. ZAKK TIME OR SLASH TIME!!!!
Just the MOST metal riff of all time!!!!! (You hate the Pinch's, skip to 3:55. Or just look up Zakk Sabbath, they're fucking awesome!) Damn, love Into the Void!!!!!
Is every fuckin' guy here gonna say "pinch harmonics"? What the hell are pinch harmonics? Even if I dont know guitar lingo, I'm starting to notice that almost every Zakk solo has the same tempo and sound: 1000 notes per minute, regardless of the song.
Dull musicians make dull cover songs, smart musicians make creative and personal interpretations, that’s it. Amazingly incredible song by Sabbath, stunning interpretation by the great Zakk
Into the Void probably one of the hardest hitting tunes sabbath ever wrote.
on bass feel great to play!Thanks Geezer the Great for this!
I agree 100%. Hole in the Sky right there with it.
If you wanted to here it played like the original, listen to the original. This is the "Zakk" version. The pinch harmonics are essentially his signature. You knew what you were getting into when you clicked the link.
Exactly
An entire guitar technique shouldn't be a "signature". That's kind of why people dislike Kirk Hammett, except w a certain pedal
We all knew there was gunna be pinch gear we clicked to see how much
zakk's version is awesome! he even sings like ozzy on the original album version !
Playing the opening notes out of key during the intro, then pinching the song to death seems a bit like a fuck you to tony. Zack should ask the jebus for forgiveness imho. fuck u zack, fuck u very much.
The problem here isn't the pinch harmonics. It's the bionic modern metal tone. I love his playing, but man this song requires more bass girth and less scooped crunch.
+aldersmoke1 It was recorded with a cell phone microphone -- I'm sure it sounds a hell of a lot better when you're actually there.
+aldersmoke1 I detest that guitar tone, reminds me of truly bad metal, Def Leppard-grade metal. Is 'bionic' what it's called?
+flashy5150 its not what he ment
Tuning and timing are off.
aldersmoke1 check out Soundgardens version!
Wow, it's actually hard to tell if he was actually singing it or if they had the original recording playing, lol. He sounds almost exactly like young Ozzy here.
***** Fuckin' A!
***** He almost always sounds exactly like Ozzy, IMO.
+Bengals Fan exactly what i thought
BOSS ROSS when i first heard zakk wylde sing i genuinely thought it was ozzy so i see what you mean.
BOSS ROSS I don't know about that, but yeah he certainly does capture his voice well
Iommi makes it look so easy, Zakk makes it look so damn difficult... I'll take Iommi all day long...
Right dude? Iommy is pretty much a stone gargoyle on stage and sounds way better lol
What?
I would say it's harder to imitate Tony's version.
Tony Iommi is a classy player with more music in his missing finger ends than Zak has in his whole body. This is just an appalling noise - no class. Absolutely f..king abysmal - but I am sure Zak could be a decent guitarist but I have never hear him show it.

Tooooo funny
Think Zakk over does the punch harmonics a little eh? I agree..also too much chorus.
* Pinch harmonics burning pinch harmonics...
I love pinch harmonics, and use them....but not as much as Zakk
@@vinceedwards3978 Zakkharmonics
Into the void is one of my favorite songs. But then every Black Sabbath song is my favorite song.
It's amazing how he can sing this and play the Guitar parts.
Not as hard as it seems especially on this type of song, Ozzy sang his lyrics with the riff as opposed to Dio who preferred to sing his lyrics across the riff, I love them both so this is not a comparison just two different vocal methods, I tend to sing with the riff when I write songs because my mouth and hand are executing the same rhythm, I find it very difficult to sing across a riff when I am playing.
Agreed! Totally agreed !
I have no problem with using pitch harmonics. They're a great way to emphasize a note, but when you overuse emphasis, it turns into annoyance.
Agreed. A song like Into the Void doesn't need pinch harmonics at all. It's a dark, heavy riff. Adding little squeals ruins it completely
You're an annoyance.....
ShortFingeredShreder i agree at beginning it's cool when he's shredding.
Well i like it so bite me
it's like saying the word "fuck' too much. Strategically placed it has impact, but every other fucking word in a fucking sentence gets a little fucking redundant and fucking shows a very fucking limited fucking vocabulary.
Ozzy gave many a guitar player a shot, be glad this one is still alive!!!
Jake's still alive
Brad's still alive
Joe's still alive
Gus' still alive
Steve Vai's still alive
Jerry Cantrell's still alive
George Lynch is still alive
....don't forget Tony.....just saying....

Zakk*
Wow... This cover needs more pinch harmonics... There isn't enough of em on here
+S. Sanchez One is too many, he may as well do the whole thing in pinch harmonics
+Gluemonkey nah you just gotta know where to put em
DeathOfANation 666 He doesn't/
+Gluemonkey lol well that's obvious.... I personally use them dying verses to fill empty space
DeathOfANation 666 Haha spoken by a true metalhead, why do you need to fill empty space, space can be good?
Soundgarden did an amazing cover of this song! 🤘
yes they did
@@crellison4537 🤘
Hes like a 15 year old with his Line 6 Spider who just discovered how to do a pinch harmonic
It's funny coz I haven't seen you play with Ozzy yet
And it’s awesome!!!!
That's why we love him
@@rmfd2587 exactly
Zakk is the guy that put pinch harmonics on the map in 1988! (No Rest for the Wicked)

Iommi stands there adjusting his glasses and slightly moving his head and it sounds much better!!
2:47 for the song
my hero
the messiah
I don't know man... to me it's all icing and no cake.
One of my top 5 favorite Sabbath songs.
Was my #1 for many years.
What’s your #1 now?
That song still kicks ass after 45 years
52 years , to be precise !
I had no idea he could belt out the vocals! Well done sir, my respect!
Ģ
I think it’s great that he honors Black Sabbath great job
I like this cover. Zakk clearly doing it in a slightly higher tuning than the traditional way in C#.
Alright, is nobody gonna mention the fact that he sounds just like Ozzy did?
He doesn't though.
Listen to 1919 eternal, zakk is an amazing composer and musician.
Or The Blessed Hellride or Hangover Music 🤘
Zakk is a monster. All of these comments complaining. This is the way Zakk plays. When you get famous you can get up there and play it your way.
I saw zakk as a kid with ozzy years ago and he was seriously awesome.
the style has got a little tiresome in its 2 dimensional bombast.
but I guess that's what makes metal great.
dime bag was 10 times the player this guy has remained.
Bro i was thinking the exact same thing in regards to Dimebag. The guy had more soul and pure talent in his little fingernail than Zakk
I prefer Chimbinha on the guitar!
infiltrated brazilian agent over here!
Marcos Adriano 🖕🏻🖕🏻
Concordo!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Zak; sometimes..less is more
Jeremy Lister How can less be more? MORE IS MORE
@@phantomlord8870 If you don't understand that, that's because you don't understand...
@@rodrigovaldez7360 It's a Malmsteen meme
Two k's
Who are you, my little friend?
Fuck all haters! Zakk's fuckin awesome man... He's got the heaviest guitar sound and style out of all Ozzy's guitarists.
+Captain Ron Well... the heaviest? Maybe. The best? Definitely no, although when he started he was really good, at some point I guess he lost it and became boring to listen after a couple minutes...
All he does is just wank off on guitar, like just play the damn song.......
+Rowan Vn i can't stand him anymore all he does is overplays everything and sqeals his guitar every 2 note
Jake E. Lee was Ozzy's best guitar player after Randy died period. Case Closed ❤👼🎸
2:53 Song starts.
Hate the way he plays Sabbath covers with those fucking pinch harmonics every two seconds. Christ...
Richard G Lol
better singer then i expected.. but the original is still better. =P
heyyoitsmebrian true I agree he's good but it sounds like he has nasal congestion
I saw Zak when he was with ozzy in the 80s I liked him better back then because he didn't try to throw so much extra into everything
From the distance of where the video was shot ,hard to see who was playing guitar,
Zak Wylde or Cousin Itt..
Zakk is the only guy that sing like Ozzy.
Totally agree - he's killed this classic riff with those pinched harmonics and a tone that sounds like a Flymo lawnmower through a Zoom 5050 going through my toaster (which is busted). Mind you, wouldn't say that to his face haha haha haha haha.

You have Never Say Die as your profile picture, you don't get to have an opinion on Sabbath.
Blueforge8000 Actually its a good album
+Blueforge8000 never say die kicks ass dude
+TDG GAMING he probably only listens to iron man and paranoid
He's probably never been to a sabbath show either
Into the Void will always hit home on our world 😮😮😮
Really wish we could've heard RR go at this song
Outstanding vocals. Killer tone and the main solo is right on. At times, his tremolo picking is overwhelming. I guess he's doing what people want to hear. Zakk is a beast on guitar, but I'll take the old-school, dark Iommi melancholy SG sound without all the pinching.
killing it ....awesome....pinch on Zakk😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
Absolutely stunning. I actually have Zakk"s autograph
no one does Black Sabath covers like the Wylde Man !
He butchers them
👍🇺🇲🇬🇧❤IOMMI, RHOADS & LEE......OZZY's BEST AXE MEN🎸
Iommi rulez anyway!Sabbath bllody sabbath!\m/
Ozzy was iommis best singer, Tony NEVER needed Ozzy!
You clowns don't like it don't listen to it one of the best guitarist on the planet
Auweia Ozzy ich habe es geahnt. Die böse Jugnnd😜
No one should ever dog this man!!! Most are just fucking jealous because they will never be as good or even close to this man's shredding talent!!! Especially those that are never will be's!!! Zakk is the Jimi Hendrix of heavy metal!!! Brother Zakk is my hero!!!

nobody is jealous people are saying they don’t like it because of the constant pitch harmonics it totally ruins the mood of the song to me it doesn’t hold a candle to the original song but Soundgarden did an amazing cover Zakk has an excellent voice though he sounds just like ozzy
OZZY and Toni had a child, named Zack Wylde
This is the reason why the people loves iommi
To much showboating
Leaves me speechless. How awesome can awesome be?
This ain’t it cheif
For fuck's sake everybody is talking about his pinch harmonics like that's all he does. From No Rest For The Wicked to Grimmest Hits this man hasn't delivered a bad album!
I remixed the original Black Sabbath version. Took the vocals a little lower. Sounds much better now, harder and heavier.
😊
He sounds silly.
Great guitar players = less is more.
And those bloody pinch harmonics ffs 🤮
His vocals are really cool...very Ozzy-esque.
Zakk is a monster . It's obvious why he and Ozzy got along so good Zakk is a Sabbath freak. And he plays it so well.
баааааси, тая китара как може да свири още и още беее!!! ВЕЛИК!
Hell fucking yes!! Kick ass cover
Pinch harmonica this, tone that...Zakk can play his cover version of the song however he damn well pleases
Who is better? Zakk or Slash? Sometimes i think Zakk is - sometimes i think Slash is!! Reply below with your vote! Help me decide. At this point im confused who is better. They are both so awesome its so hard to finally decide. Holler back to The Rock Dog and tell me what time it is. ZAKK TIME OR SLASH TIME!!!!
That was cool. Thanks for posting.
Did he came?
Just the MOST metal riff of all time!!!!!
(You hate the Pinch's, skip to 3:55. Or just look up Zakk Sabbath, they're fucking awesome!)
Damn, love Into the Void!!!!!
pinch harmonic overkill
EXACTLY how I imagined Zak playing this song. Different, but still cool.
The way he plays this song reminds me so much of how Dime plays. Great job man
Dime is better
Is every fuckin' guy here gonna say "pinch harmonics"? What the hell are pinch harmonics? Even if I dont know guitar lingo, I'm starting to notice that almost every Zakk solo has the same tempo and sound: 1000 notes per minute, regardless of the song.
He trashed a great song with those freaking excessive harmonics.
He butchers all sabbath songs he plays
Even the security guard cant resist to watch xd
Zakk is Awesome.....Great cover of Sabbath
I've heard a little song in that solo
Sooo geil!!!👍👍👍
Not bad, I reckon it'd be better if he used more pinch harmonics though.
Timing and tuning are off. I still like this though. Soundgarden does a good job covering this song.
Guitars are all in tune?
One of the few I would entrust with Iommi's riffs.
he prints his identity on it too with his techniques but somehow it sounds incredibly faithful at the same time as radically different
Dull musicians make dull cover songs, smart musicians make creative and personal interpretations, that’s it.
Amazingly incredible song by Sabbath, stunning interpretation by the great Zakk
KILLER!
God damnit...........way to completely butcher a classic.
more cowbell, please
heavy, heavy .
That guitar is an extension of his soul. Simply awesome to watch. Thumbs up for this video post!
Too much punch and heavy distortion for my taste.
I once saw Zakk play piano at a bar in Chicago. (Shuba's) He was awesome on piano, too!
+Ken Ruger Did he used pitch harmonics with piano too?
+Matt Moves Of course he did!! Pick sequels... that's what he does
+Matt Moves He does, he taps a key, then puffs a beer fart on the piano wires.
flashy5150
Ahahahaha!!!
@@flashy5150 lmao
He also does a great job on the vocals
Agreed.
The final solo is more like Hendrix on 78 than Iommi. Impressive in itself.
Loved to see this bloke play without pinch harmonics can he play without it?
Zakk is the man
that guitar looks loke Patrick from sponge bob! lmao
At 8:56 mins in the camera guy shields the mic and the recording sounds clear for a few seconds lol. Zack over did this a little.
A few more years and he will be really good guitar player.
Well done. I'm a true Sab and that jams mean!
He reminds me of Slash. An average to good guitar player who acts like he's unbelievable.
Too much of the same appreciation. But, then when he kicked into the recognizable part, he kicked butt 🎸
Love ya, Zakk, but this riff is only for Iommi to play. Everyone else falls way short.
Wanna see what is a rocker? Here he is!!!! Can't be heavier than that.
Where's the cowbell? 🤷♂️
Phenomenal
He sounds more like Ozzy than Ozzy.
ZAKKLY!!! been sayin!!
Vocal chords change as a person gets older, it’s a part of life
Zack ruins every cover with his harmonics..
