Wow! New Zakk Wylde Tele!!

Re: Wow! New Zakk Wylde Tele!!

Zakk has some decent ability, he's no guitar genius but he has his moments.
I've seen some pretty "off" playing from him on youtube though... I wouldn't pay to see him live, that's for sure.
It sucks when you see someone who has some ability and instead of using it they're just playing the same old kinda sloppy wanking patterns for a whole 5 minute solo. he can do better than that. There are some guitarists who play to the crowd by playing the best **** they can play... there are some that like to make a face, hold their guitar vertically and tap the same 4 notes over and over and over. You guys know how it is. This is all recent stuff I'm talking about btw

Re: Wow! New Zakk Wylde Tele!!

I love how players that have never played MSG or the LA forum and do not have a single disc out with their band like to diss a sucessfull guitaristvlike zakk who played with Ozzy after tony,randy and frickin jake!. I met zakk a few years back before dime was murdered and zakk was a great dude ,no attitude at all and no rock star BS toward me. he was a great friend of dimes and that good enough for me!:28:

Pretty sure that's Wayne Static's pornstar wife, Tera Wray. No drugs but she takes a lot of dicks.

I didn't recognize her without her clothes on! :lol:

I remembered seeing her when I was in line getting my Static-X album (Cult of Static) signed. She's actually much prettier in person, and is really friendly.

Re: Wow! New Zakk Wylde Tele!!

Funny how everybody falls back on that argument, though it holds absolutely no water. So a fat girl puts her pic on a rating site. 600 people give her a '1'. Are those 600 people wrong? Hell no. She's in the spotlight, begging to be judged. Yay or nay.

There's gonna be nays, guys. ZW (the last 10 years, at least) gets a big 'nay' from me. IMHO, he's phoning it in. Ed and GJ: because he sells records, I'm not allowed to think he writes throwaway songs with the same lightspeed penta/chroma/chicken pickin solo in EVERY SINGLE ONE and his hairy biker schtick is a joke?

And this attitude gives me the sh!ts. I guess it's okay if you know nothing whatsoever about music to say "Hey, I love this song ... this band is great", and "I don't like that song (or band)". It's a matter of personal choice and we don't question people about what they like or dislike.

But the minute someone picks up a guitar for whatever reason (fun, occasional jam, bar gigs, whatever) they are no longer allowed to have similar opinions, and if they do, they get " Well let's see you do better ... this guy has records and tours the world ...have you ?"

Feck you. It doesn't matter who I am and what i may or may not be, if someone puts themselves out there in public, i am free to like or dislike them and/or what they do. Besides being a player, i am also a music fan and buyer of cds, dvds and concert tickets just like anyone else, and allowed to have any opinion i want, just like anyone else.

The attitude of disliking something is not the bad attitude here, it's this "let's see you do better" garbage from ignorant narrow-minded fools.

I'd rather listen to this guy..

I don't think Zakk Wylde has much (if anything) over him.

You, Sir, are my Hero.

I hate when someone says "yeah well, he caught a break and rode someone else's coattails and he's selling records - what did you do?"
Find me a pair of coattails, or get me a break, and I'll sell millions of records, too.

The simple fact is, I HAVE written better songs than ZW, and better than most of what's out there right now. The big difference is that I have no contacts and no exposure. If they don't hear it, they don't buy it.

Re: Wow! New Zakk Wylde Tele!!

So was he a redneck when he was first in Ozzy like so?

When did the transformation take place?

Re: Wow! New Zakk Wylde Tele!!

I bet he would rip some mean bluegrass licks on a tele.

but that kinda stuff isn't his bread n buttah, so i doubt he'd get a signature model made.

Agreed. Just because I'm not a million record selling artist doesn't mean I don't know what I'm talking about or that my opinion is not valid. Sure there are players better than me and more successful. But I'm still entitled as a musician to judge their work. Just like I'm sure there's plenty of guys that played high school football sitting at home on Sunday watching NFL games and yelling at the tv. You don't have to be in the game to tell what is a good/bad pass or play from a QB.

Re: Wow! New Zakk Wylde Tele!!

Zakk is sure enough metal and I think its safe to say could outplay anyone here.

Technically hecould outplay alot of people. Albert King for example.

Does that make Zakk a better guitarist than Albert?



IOW, this argument on both sides is stupid and pointless. Its OK to like what you like, dislike what you dislike, just dont act like a pansyass fanboy when someone else doesnt see thngs the same way...thats the thing that annoys everyone about hero worship.
