Zakk Wylde – 5 Favorite WDHA Moments
Zakk Wylde celebrates a Birthday on January 14th- Happy Heavy Birthday! We have so many fond WDHA memories of our New Jersey brother. It's Terrie Carr and I adore "The Metal Teddy Bear" as I call Zakk. He is such a force to be reckoned with on guitar, on vocals, on stage, and as a songwriter. From Zakk's early club days playing in the local band "Zyris" to his "Ozzy Osbourne" band triumphant debut, "Pride and Glory", "Black Label Society", "Zakk Sabbath"..... Zakk is one of the most amazing guitar gods on the planet. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qvbbGGeeleA&t=14s Check Out Zakk With Me On Reconnect With Rockers- I Love Him! WDHA Memories Date Back FAR! Zakk Wylde has always been a good buddy of ours. Playing shows for us, stopping by our studios, granting interviews anytime, anywhere. A true Jersey Boy born in Bayonne, growing up in Jackson, working at Silverton Music, and being a staple on the Jersey club circuit in local bands like Zyris (I saw them SO MANY times!) When he auditioned for Ozzy's band in 1987 it was huge news and when he got in us Jersey Metal Club kids were floored. WOW! One of our own with The Prince Of Darkness- How can this be?! It was awesome. Zakk's Catalog is HUGE! Zakk Wylde has played on nine "Ozzy Osbourne" albums, one "Pride and Glory" " released two solo albums, four "Zakk Sabbath" and sixteen "Black Label Society" records. WOWZA! He has also joined "Pantera" as their guitar player paying tribute to his best bud Dimebag Darryl Abbott by respecting the band's legacy and preserving their catalog on tour. No one BUT Zakk could have pulled that off. NO ONE. For More On Black Label Society And The Reconnect With Rockers Interview Series Another thing I love about Zakk? He LOVES dogs!
