love that song.

Deep within the womb of time,
a creature thus be born
The seed of life is united with
the egg of tyranny
Gestates forth from within the womb of life
for three-quarter and nigh a year
The creature thus be born!
The creature thus be formed!
And ye of years...
Forty-one and bells
Will chime!
When the heavens open up
and drink from the silver cup
The creature thus be born!
And blow the magic horn!
To alert the spirit deep within the cycle of life.
The creature has begun it's journey deep forlorn,
upon this day which he be formed
In the sea of mucus the spirit rides down from the mountain
and unites with the creature in the womb
A holy union, dark mortality, until the dark mortality
breaks the chain of life
The creature thus be born
And every year raineth down the celebratory tears
A celebration of the years
from mere mortal sky

Overrated. Can't carry Rhodes' urn.

Are you ever going to pay Gedde for the vocals?

Why did I even get wasted and work with you? I mean, this isn't even a real microphone. It's a stick with a marshmallow on it.

finally a real worthwhile artist in the music tab. I have recovered my faith in farkers.
/no he is not rhodes
//but he is zakk farking wylde and that is enough for me
///are those metal scorpians

tough to play guitar when you're DEAD

Wylde can play, no question.... but holy shiat his singing sucks.

Marla Singer's Laundry: Overrated. Can't carry Rhodes' urn.

The problem with Randy is that he never left the 80s.

his story about leaving sharon ordered rehab is very funny

The man with the meanest pick harmonics in the biz.

Hes only 41? Seems like hes been rocking for ages!

If you are a BLS fan then this is worth 10 minutes of your time.

I'll never forget last BLS show I went to...a huge security guard was hassling a fan who had a back stage pass, next thing that guy knew Zakk tapped him on the shoulder and punched him square in the jaw. The fan got to watch the show from the side of the stage...awesome

41? Wow. I would have guessed 51.

He's still on my shiat list after the 357 Choppers/Free Zakk Les Paul scam from a few years ago.

When I first saw the No More Tears video in 1991 I said Zakk Wylde was the coolest man of the face of the planet. I wanted to be Zaak Wylde.

for the love of god, lucifer and Lemmy it's not "Rhodes" it's RHOADS

More like Zakk Mylde.

I was wondering who would usher in the Master Shake reference...

I have seen Zakk with Ozzy. An unplugged show in Savannah for his first solo album in 96, and with BLS, and every showed kicked ass!

BobtheFascist: The man with the meanest pick harmonics in the biz.

And he'll remind you of this little fact on every. single. song.

Anyone else first hear this, and thought it was some sort of Ozzy song from the Blizzard of Ozz era, that we all somehow missed?

It sounds like old Ozzy singing, and Randy Rhodes playing.

And good god-damn this dude has put on some muscle in the last 20 years.

meh....

I totally kicked his ass in our duel in Guitar Hero World Tour.

Zakk Wylde is seriously one the most overrated, talentless hacks in metal today.

Why can't he ditch the stupid madeup name and use his real one? It's so MTV Hair Band.

Zakk Wylde is a freakin' machine. He has great speed, melodic ideas, and overall technique.

However, Mr. Wylde also introduced a specific type of pinch harmonic. While he can pull it off himself quite well (although far too often), 14-year-olds in Guitar Center cannot. And they try over. And over. And OVER (wheedlie-whee). And THEN I get the COPS called on me for BEATING young children SENSELESS. Tell me, is it really my fault?!?!?

For this, Mr. Wylde, you shall never be forgiven.

I wish I could do pinch harmonics. It would make me very happy. I've practiced them for hours and I just can't get it right.

keep practicing

Find someone, still living, that's more superior than Zakk.

"I wish I could do pinch harmonics. It would make me very happy. I've practiced them for hours and I just can't get it right."

Get a hotter pickup. I use a George Lynch "Screamin Demon" in my ESP.

Hotter as in Active compared to Passive? On the same note... How difficult is it to change pickups in a guitar? I've got a craptastic set of pickups in an old no name I have but I LOVE the shape, feel, and weight of the guitar. It makes me play better, but the pickups and the vol/tone knobs and the pickup selector electronics blow donkey balls.

His music is Ozzie without the old man stumbling across the stage. Anyone noticed how much his vocals sound like the Ozz man? I love his hard drinking interviews, his music, not so much. But I'm not hatin!

He's not terrible, but he is far from deserving of his Guitar Hero tag.

Dear God, I think you may have summoned MSL. =P

But in all honesty, he's good, but he's no Petrucci, Gilbert, Slash, Friedman, Lynch, and a long list of others both older and younger than he is. I love his style to death, but most of it is predictable and slightly boring to listen to more than one song in a row at a time.

You're kidding, right? ...Right?

Zakk's a more than competent guitarist, but to pedestal him as one of the modern "greats" is just a bit over the top.

yes far superior, that guy has made a whole career out of playing only one string

Key word: metal

DeathByGeekSquad: The song features Ozzy...

The Zakk vocals also sound just like old Ozzy too.

kab: Zakk's a more than competent guitarist, but to pedestal him as one of the modern "greats" is just a bit over the top.

That's what he was sold as, when he replaced Randy Rhodes. Which is not something I think he ever lived up to.

Billygoat Gruff:

That takes talent.

I'm not a huge fan of BLS but this motherfarker can play! Plus he has that whole I'm a viking that wants to rape and pillage look going for him which is nice.

No. Sorry.

Best player in metal (not saying too too much): Link

Dan Mongrain of Martyr is for my money the most skilled player in metal, and there are a TON of players that torch him. You can really dig Wylde's playing, but he's nothing special at all.
