New site? Maybe some day.
|
Am I the only one who doesn't think he's that great? |
|
youre insane. zakk wylde can play circles around anyone on this board. i only like his stuff with ozzy though. |
|
have you ever seen him play a live solo?
If you have, and youre not impressed, then youre not watching close enough. |
|
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. |
|
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. |
|
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 |
|
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. |
|
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. |

Oh yeah, they can sweep arpeggiate wylde to death |
|
i just think his a bad ass motha |
|
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. |
|
Abbath said: i just think his a bad ass motha |
shave off that nutsac chin he's got going and I'm pretty sure he wouldn't look so badass anymore. |
|
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. |
|
RustedAngel said: 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. |
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!
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 |
|
and the low string pinches, that comprise basically the entire riff I find repulsive and annoying after awhile |
|
ya, those r what I was talkin about...the 'werooooos' |
|
He does an amazing rendition of the Star Spangled Banner,he did that at chantilly's ,all i gotta say is holy shit! |
|

yeah they annoy me |

BLS and Ozzy dont do Zakk justice, you gotta hear some of his unreleased stuff, simply amazing! 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. |
|
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. |
|
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 |
|
His best shit is Book of Shadows. |
|
Book of Shadows is awesome |
|
zakk wylde is so not underrated he's on the cover of a guitar magazine every two months |
|
book of shadows is incredible. i like that one alot. pride and glory is good too. bls and ozzy aren't his best. |
|
his pinched harmonics remind me of little richard going "WOOOOOOOO!" |
|
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. |
|
that album is amazing...if i put that in my cd player it dosen't come out for weeks |
|
i think he sucks... hairy balls |
|
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. |
|
Now he's doing a shitty nu metal ozzy impression on everything. Going down hill just like the rest. |
|
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.

|
Listen to Pride & Glory, the best band he's had so far. Solid as shit.
|
|
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. |
|
zakk is an incredible guitarist
period |
|
i agree with you tom. yes he's a great guitarist, but nothing special in my ears |
|
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. |
|
Blue said: when what he does nowadays is far from metal. |
that is the stupidest thing you've ever said |
|
shut up. i dont need this. |
|

so are a gazzillion other people. |

That's a great point, duder. Good job. |
|
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!!! |
|
there ya go! |
|
HAHAHAHAHAHA
he was such a girly man and then he began his steroid diet
|
|
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 |

Seriously!!! |
no one puts down Brucey
|
|
zakk is metal, but he was better with ozzy, I personally feel |
|
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. |
|
haha, find a pic of yngwie!
|

scouring the earth for that right now, believe you me |
|
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????? |
|
jerking off in front of a mirror because he used to look so much like a woman |
|
um...zakk or yngwie?
both makes sense |
|
sounds like an yngwie thing |
|
he loves himself and his harmonic minor scales sooooo much |
|
his solos are so uhhh masturbatory |
|
well he looked like a chick |
|
i wish my name was yngwie. |
|
paganmegan said: well he looked like a chick |
I wonder if he pulled a Buffalo Bill
|
|
If it was you could sweep arpeggiate all of us to death and through prima donna fits on air planes |
|
Don't forget about having a killer hairdo. |
|
Ive never liked him much. Randy Rhodes puts him to shame anyway. |
|
hahaha birds could make their home in yngwie's hairdo |
|
I like randy rhodes better than yngwie and zakk |
|
I like mantas
haha, that solo in "Lady Lust" is so technical |
|
yngwie.org??? yngwie is a non-profit organization? right.
I OWN THE HARMONIC MINOR SCALE AND ALL PROFITS ANYONE MAKES FROM PLAYING IT!!! |
|
It's the yngwie fanclub site. I hope to become fanclub president. |
