OZZY fires ZAKK?? - Page 3

Zakk Wylde is annoying at best. Him and his annoying pinch harmonic squealing he constantly does. Extremely annoying at best. The worst guitar player Ozzy has ever had. And he looks like an over-hairy ape.

You can't deny that the guy has created quite an empire for himself with that biker/Viking image. It's almost like a tough self-image competition between Zakk and Kerry King. I've read that both guys are real softies however and not at all like their public personas.

I agree on the pinch harmonics- to me they should be like exclamation points and used sparingly only to accentuate certain lines. Plus on active EMG pickups it's so damn easy to hit pinch harmonics every single note if you want to. Non-players in the crowd think it's cool though... What I don't get is the spitting lugies constantly on stage. Maybe the guy has a real medical problem.

I do still like his playing up to the late 80's / early 90's. It works out well for me since I'm in denial and in my mind we still ARE in that time period.

Everybody has an opinion about who is this and who is that,so all im gonna say is Good riddance to Zakk. I can appreciate that he is a good or great guitar player, i once enjoyed and actually liked his music, but he changed for the worse in MY OPINION. The whole drunken i gotta be the baddest motherfuker on the block attutide is old hat man, grow the fuck up already bring that shit down to the south side of Peoria and he would get that ugly ass les paul shoved right up his ass. And im tired of looking at those bullseye les pauls, jesus christ what a way to ruin an amazing instrument, slap some stupid fuking bulls eye on it....i had a rough day at work....ozzy should have fired him LONGGG ago.....

For those of you who have bullseye les pauls, you are excluded, they are great guitars i have played them, Zakk just played them out, huge difference....

Yeah even the epi bullseyes are really sweet. That maple neck really adds to it.

thrawn86 · 11-04-2009, 11:57 AM

Only thing I really liked about Zakk was that Stillborn song, albeit not an 'Ozzy' song, and the fact that he often wore a Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. sweatshirt under that vest getup....one of my fave's.

Yeah and his doctor said to relieve his problem he needed to hock lugies on stage.

He's hocking up coke balls. Snort a bunch of coke and you got to hock. Why not on the people in the first row. Sweet!

Do you think ZW is on coke? I know he drinks hard. Let me know.

Lots of rock stars do it, so I wouldn't be suprised. Not to stereotype, or anything; it's just the facts.

Maybe it's all the Zakktooth Grin's he drinks.

Still can't believe Georgie Lynch never got the gig.

Funny thing George was intimidated by Eddie and admitted it many times over the years.

Gus G is a temporary solution for a waning transition to life after the stage for Ozzy imo.

Probably because that's more of a "Roger Waters" kind of thing to do

LOL

LesPaulopolis · 11-05-2009, 04:32 PM

Good one!

thrawn86 · 11-05-2009, 04:36 PM

Meh, just have Ozzy plug-in Buckethead. He's a total robot, but there's nothing he can't play. He'd actually sound more soulful than Zakk. Ozzy would have used him before, but Buckethead wouldn't play without his mask!

HOT TUBES 70 · 11-05-2009, 06:11 PM

that might be a good thing !! LOL !

MartyStrat54 · 11-05-2009, 07:13 PM

Ain't rock and roll great? Man, the shit that goes on that we don't know about. Who is afraid of who? Who plays better than who, or at least thinks so? Top 10 best guitarist? Well that has most certainly changed since I started playing.

Is Eric Clapton still a "God?"
Jimmy Page?
Robin Trower?

Or is it ZW, George Lynch, EVH or Satriani...or one of a 100 other fantastic guitarists out there? What makes someone the best? A bunch of fast taps, or some really good string work?

I've been around. I've personally seen "no name" guitarist's that would put a frown on many of today's top guitarist. Just remember, for every well known guitarist, there are a dozen "in the bedroom" guitarist's that are better. There is talent out there that the public will never get to see. I'm sure some of you guys have run across this yourself.

This new guy, Gus...doesn't do a thing for me. Ozzy could have done way better.
