Nowadays? We’ve been repping Randy for decades I think you mean it’s sad that ppl just now are realizing this 😬 And even then I have no idea what you’re talking about since everyone listens to rap and rap and rap, and more rap…
People rip on the album now, but I bought "No Rest For The Wicked" the week it came out after hearing snippets of it on a syndicated radio program called "Metal Shop" way back in 1988. Zakk doing his now signature harmonic squeals, and solos that were damn near Slayer speed, but they were melodic as hell. There was nothing like it at the time. I was an instant fan. His absolute refusal to take himself serious is something a lot of us can learn from.
Damn rite CFH4L Stronger Than All Getcha Pull. Rock in power Dimebag and Vinnie. I have a Dimebag tattoo and a Pantera prosthetic leg it has all the band members on my leg.
I have played guitar since I was 14. I judge a guitarist on how passionate their playing is and how they connect with their fingers. Zakk was brilliant at this from the beginning.
Definitely among one of the most serious and amazing interviews Zakk has ever given. Very down to earth as usual, love the passion he puts into anything and also the way he as public person encourages anyone no matter how young or old one is to start pursuing and achieving whatever one's call really stands. I can say for sure knowing Black Label Society more in depth prevented or probably saved me from depression and a tough time I went through.

I was at the BLS show at Washington County Fairgrounds (2009, IIRC) before Zakk went into the hospital in Eugene OR - Mitch Lucker was still alive at that show, as well. We heard about Zakk having "pantyhose" (his words) installed shortly thereafter; we thought it was a prank for a hot second. Wish it would have been.
Zakk is a real Class Act ,, He’s spot on with the Black Label Family - connection with People. I’m from Boston and meet so many different people at the shows and we all connect. The New Album. DOOM CREW INC. is Killer ! See u at the next show Zakk - JD - Dario - Jeff and the DOOM CREW
Zakk is freaking badass. He's definitely in my top 5 guitarists, has been a big influence in my guitar playing of 33yrs. Everything he has said in this interview is straight up facts of life. I would freaking love to one day meet and jam with him. KEEP ON ROCKING!
Thank you Zakk for your contribution to music. Some songs I rock out to some I cry to. No shame. Crazy though I've seen Ozzy 4 times and Black Sabbath in 1999..I've never seen you play with The Man. But did see you at Ozzfest in 2010. My friends were drinking while I was watching. Thank you Cardinal Zakk!!
Anyone who frequented the Valencia Room back in the day could end up front row when Zack would jump on stage with the house band and shred. He would often show up with the base player from White Lion and sometimes with his manager. I sat there drinking with him on several occasions on the nights he didn't play. Always a straight forward homie. Cool dude.
I hear Zach Wilde all of those bands and we get The privilege to explore and listen to it all and even the old stuff is still modern I mean that stuff will never go out of date and you with Aussie and Black Sabbath there’s nothing like it and the blues and allsorts of stuff I’ve got such a great music vocabulary and it’s only growing I’ve watched your videos many times they are crazy you’re so awesome Zach forever a superstar you are a legend and what a great video interview great to hear from you and I can’t believe your life in the most craziest bands It’s just mine blowing your legend Zach I’ll say it again you’re a legend
Zakk Wylde really puts thought into these interviews....well spoken about his craft and music history....it is so much fun to listen to his music and play some of his iconic riffs.
...... 😊..... "AMEN".. in our D. N. A..... I had" one" (literally one) student, who was willing to learn guitar a few years back, and she touched me, in such a deep place inside, I cry shamelessly when she sends me newest recordings... Last one I heard a nod to "me"!!!.. "you believe it!!!..." I feel fulfilled and satisfied for life with this one!!! She has old-school qualities and sees me better than I see myself ! "Zakk Wylde" "hail"... "haIL"... "HAIL"!!! 🤗
The Dime and Vinnie part reminds me moreso of being 'in the moment'. Seems to be Dime's MO. Stop living in the past or future and just...live. Sounds easy, but not so much in the everydayness of life.
I agree it’s like learning a song he just do it and just keep playing it and playing until it’s done just gotta smash it there’s no other way and you when you’re in the red goddamnit boy do you smash it
Goddamnit Zach you’re making me hungry talking about all these flavour and I’m struggling Did you hear what she said especially is somebody like Aussie goddamnit he’s such a lucky man
I noticed Elton John is really motivating for dark heavy song writers,"example"... Jerry Cantrell!!... Zakk... I think thats great to absorb all kinds of different influence!!.. My best friend growing up "Mike 13", "made it to the big leagues "His passion for guitar left him working at a diner in Manhasset L.I,and liw and behold..."LL cool J came in,and Mike gave him his demo!!!... The rest is history....he used to steal my mioms "strange wig" collection.. the ones with llong blond hair....put it on,and walk the neighborhood with his Gibson Les Paul Custom"trying to mimick his hero!!!... Ha,!!!.... "Score 1:for the underdog"!!!
Remember zakk and Ozzy met when zakk was way young, and zakks parents died when he was young they were older of course ozzy and Sharon are like his parent
I know what you mean Zach online is going a bit crazy with his Redhead I just can’t stop watching I’m fully embracing it and swallowing it you’re right it’s in our blood
Damn man the way he feels about randy Rhoades an his playing is exactly how millions of guitar players feel about him nowadays what a legacy!
Nowadays? We’ve been repping Randy for decades
I think you mean it’s sad that ppl just now are realizing this 😬
And even then I have no idea what you’re talking about since everyone listens to rap and rap and rap, and more rap…
Randy Rhoads is an absolute god of guitar.
My whole guitar life has been around St Randy Rhoads. Since 85'
People rip on the album now, but I bought "No Rest For The Wicked" the week it came out after hearing snippets of it on a syndicated radio program called "Metal Shop" way back in 1988. Zakk doing his now signature harmonic squeals, and solos that were damn near Slayer speed, but they were melodic as hell. There was nothing like it at the time. I was an instant fan. His absolute refusal to take himself serious is something a lot of us can learn from.
It's pretty hard to not like Zakk as a person... this interview shows that clearly.
Absolutely agreed. Zakk seems like a really down ti earth person, your regular guy. Nice. 🤘🏼
17:16 - "I always say with great musicians.. you feel them, you don't just hear them."
Couldn't agree with you more, Zakk.
I bet Layne Stayle came in mind to him.
Really impressed with the new Black Label record. Has an old school Black Label vibe to it but without feeling stale.
LIKE it as well!! COOL RIFFAGE!! And ZAKK has such a good vibe, and always pays respect to other musicians! Beautiful Thing!!
The last two albums are both phenomenal
Zakk’s always remained the same if you listen very closely. And his attitude as well. In our corrupted society, he is one of a kind.
Been jamin it for two weeks now. So far "Forsaken" is my favorite song on it. Love the badass riffs.
I Love how honest and personable this guy seems to be..in interviews.
I teared up a bit when he talked about St. Dime rest in piece Dimebag and Vinnie SDMF ⚡️GIFD
Yeah that was nice to listen !
Damn rite CFH4L Stronger Than All Getcha Pull. Rock in power Dimebag and Vinnie. I have a Dimebag tattoo and a Pantera prosthetic leg it has all the band members on my leg.
At what time does he talk about him?
Love you Zakk your the best . Your biggest fan ❤
Zakk Wylde is one of the coolest dudes alive. Such a nice and down to Earth individual
Easily one of my favorite interviews with Zakk….he has a lot of good things to say when he’s not constantly talking about fondling his genitalia lol
I have played guitar since I was 14. I judge a guitarist on how passionate their playing is and how they connect with their fingers. Zakk was brilliant at this from the beginning.
I'm strictly judging on enormous cod pieces.
I agree my friend, all in...
Definitely among one of the most serious and amazing interviews Zakk has ever given. Very down to earth as usual, love the passion he puts into anything and also the way he as public person encourages anyone no matter how young or old one is to start pursuing and achieving whatever one's call really stands. I can say for sure knowing Black Label Society more in depth prevented or probably saved me from depression and a tough time I went through.
I love Zakk so much. Dude is such a beam of goddamn light.
👍
Met Zakk twice....great guy. Just a total joker but a damn nice guy all around...and a beast of a player
"When you drink like a man, that's fine but when it's time to stop you better stop like a man"
I have reached that time in my life recently. Found this words very inspirational. Cheers dude.
This lady gives the absolute best interviews. Hands Down !!!!
The Songs Zakk Has Written & Performed *MIRROR* My Life *EXACTLY.*
As soon as I heard crazy babies on no rest for the wicked I was sold.

We heard about Zakk having "pantyhose" (his words) installed shortly thereafter; we thought it was a prank for a hot second.
Wish it would have been.
I'm a big fan of Zakks ever since his first days with Ozzy and I loved Randy Rhoads and Dimebag Darrell Rip Dimebag and Vinnie Paul together again

His explanation of buying Black Sabbath " We sold our soul for rock and roll " was my experience too.
There's not a better person than Zakk Wylde !!!
I wouldn’t mind another ‘Pride and Glory’ album, Zakk!
Zakk is freaking badass. He's definitely in my top 5 guitarists, has been a big influence in my guitar playing of 33yrs. Everything he has said in this interview is straight up facts of life. I would freaking love to one day meet and jam with him. KEEP ON ROCKING!
I'm so so proud of zakk for getting sober and being a God fearing Christian Amen brother keep on Rockin 👨
Thank you Zakk for your contribution to music. Some songs I rock out to some I cry to. No shame. Crazy though I've seen Ozzy 4 times and Black Sabbath in 1999..I've never seen you play with The Man. But did see you at Ozzfest in 2010. My friends were drinking while I was watching. Thank you Cardinal Zakk!!
Doom crew inc. went already on my top 3 of 2021. Amazing record.... it has this magic touch
Anyone who frequented the Valencia Room back in the day could end up front row when Zack would jump on stage with the house band and shred. He would often show up with the base player from White Lion and sometimes with his manager. I sat there drinking with him on several occasions on the nights he didn't play. Always a straight forward homie. Cool dude.
This interview makes the world a better place
Zakk is the best interview subject, because he just loves to talk :D
Yesss! I did the transcript via this AI thing, and it said he spoke 89% of the total time. Exactly how it should be!
Hellyes! Thanks for the zakk wylde interview!
On Randy, I totally agree with you Zakk. Randy is a legend !!
🤘🏼

Zakk Wylde really puts thought into these interviews....well spoken about his craft and music history....it is so much fun to listen to his music and play some of his iconic riffs.
I'm already gonna say it without watching. Tale a drink everytime Zakk says "you know I mean".
Zakk is the best
Thanks heaps Zach I know that was from the heart I am brother all in
...... 😊..... "AMEN".. in our D. N. A..... I had" one" (literally one) student, who was willing to learn guitar a few years back, and she touched me, in such a deep place inside, I cry shamelessly when she sends me newest recordings... Last one I heard a nod to "me"!!!.. "you believe it!!!..." I feel fulfilled and satisfied for life with this one!!! She has old-school qualities and sees me better than I see myself !
"Zakk Wylde" "hail"... "haIL"... "HAIL"!!! 🤗
Zakk being the wise guy that he is I feel he bit his tongue when she asked about having an emotional connection with his hand when he was young.....
😂
Oh damn, I’m surprised he didn’t run with that lol.
He punched a DJ here in St Louis Missouri years back he seems better. BUT he was a prick years ago .
I was thinking the same thing I creative imagination and pricing it slapping it around and really going deep you’re right on the money Zach
So.so.so bad ass is he's playing..one of the best there is....thank you for this
The new album’s really really good
These interviews are incredible!
If ony they did a Pantera reunion when Vinny Paul was still with us & had Zakk Wylde fill in for Dime-
RIP Dime & Vince 💯💙🤘
Great interview.....and yes Zakk, we DO know what you mean haha
Just saw Zakk last week. Great show! Love the kilt!
Get Zakk on the boat with the fellas 🤘🤘 Shiprocked 2022
Zakk is my hero!
What I really like about this guy is that he’ll bring up someone like Barbara Streisand in an interview
This guy is a true fucking beast with the guitar and without!!!
Zakk is friends with another one of my favorite 🎸 players Nuno Bettencourt
every day was the weekend...
thats how i like to live it, without booze or drugs...just food,music and FREEDOM, and fine women
The Dime and Vinnie part reminds me moreso of being 'in the moment'. Seems to be Dime's MO. Stop living in the past or future and just...live. Sounds easy, but not so much in the everydayness of life.
YOU INSPIRED ME!
THANKS 👍
Great interview
Awesome Zach legend
Lord of the strings 😊
I really needed to hear that
Zack and dimebag Darrell are the best guitar 🎸 ever rip Randy Rhodes
RIP Saint Dime ⚡🤘
Believe me I’m trying to get on that boat and use my Imagination 💭
Zakk rocks "you know what i mean?"😎😎😎😎😎
Not the biggest fan of his band but love Zach.
It’s to Zach I really like the flavour of that
You know ,you know and everything like that you know
I admire his formula of writing good u.s.d.a grade A songs!!!... Zakk "holding the torch", Dimebag left him!!!!...
he is on the way to become full accomplished wizard
I think me and him started a mosh pit watching disturbed at rotr 2011 i wish he could see this and confirm of it was really him
I agree it’s like learning a song he just do it and just keep playing it and playing until it’s done just gotta smash it there’s no other way and you when you’re in the red goddamnit boy do you smash it
Zakk Attack!
Randy on a prophet level to me.
Wow Zakk is the same age as me I waa born in December of 1967
What's to vs. grunge is fly by night metal is forever
Beautiful man.
Well said Zach
Great Interview 👍
Starting my timer to see how long it takes him to make a "doing my nails" or "wearing fishnets" joke...
😂
Saludos 🇲🇽 atodos wuooooooo
Elton John is so damn good, bout to listen to some El Dorado
Goddamnit Zach you’re making me hungry talking about all these flavour and I’m struggling Did you hear what she said especially is somebody like Aussie goddamnit he’s such a lucky man
