Zakk Sabbath in Detroit was the best concert I've ever been to 💀 💀💀💀

[@youWoNtLikeMe04]

Zack is always great. Such a genuine dude. Some individuals actually do get the good things they deserve.

[@R2I2C2K]

Zakk has carried metal through the years. Whatever songs he's played on have been timeless hits to me.

[@Sublight77]

zakk is such a good dude man. say what you will, the dude has held the torch of metal for a long time man and hes ALWAYS cool, and zakk sabbath featuring black sabbath is hysterical lol

[@user-so3md3wo5d]

Zakk and JD are the coolest , great to hang out with ! 👍

[@-Spence]

Zakk’s vault of dad jokes needs to be studied😂😂

[@TMoody]

JD DeServio is real good for Zakk. They are like the Abbot & Costello.

[@Savagesecondtonone]

I never met a guitar I didn’t like. 😁. Zakk is funny, humble, and the best at his craft.

[@bruceshane795]

Greatest thing ever was running into JD in a 711 in chetwynd BC.

[@craigcantoro8430]

LIFE AT ITS BEST 🤙

[@michaelhirstny]

I want to hang out with these guys! So cool.

[@WardGuitarCabinets]

The dynamic duo. Absolutely love them

[@jefferyvnelson7144]

He's carrying the flame in honor of the the guy who brought him into the spotlight and this is why I absolutely love this guy and all his pals! And he's a freaking shredder!!!!!! My favorite. I'm still playing those keg parties but we don't have basements in California.

[@Lolaandcassidyadventures]

Saw Zakk sabbath in Seattle last month epic show!

[@jeffbarnard9246]

They caught him half sober. He plays no matter what condition he's in that's what's great about him. I would hate to hear he's in the hospital with liver failure.

[@zengroove16]

AMS is one of me best Teammates. Much Love 🤟

[@1683clifton]

My mother and I still break out the bing on Christmas. Man what a sick thing it would be to get a Zack version.

[@portal432]

He had some genuine answers. But still some of the zakk script classics.

[@classicaxe1]

I am having a ZAKK ATTAKK ! ZAKK RULES !

[@mountain7777]

Good stuff...Zakk and JD are great!

[@christowing3816]

I was at the Zack Sabbath show😊 in Boston front row I tried so hard to get one at Zakk's guitar picks I've been trying for years to get one so I could display it with the one I got from Saint dime bag at St Eddie Van Halen but unfortunately I did not catch one he didn't throw any out on my side of the stage and JD fingerpicks But I did get two guitar picks from the lead guitarist of the opening act native howl they were actually very surprisingly good.As always Zakk and the boys kick ass as always

[@1683clifton]

Can't imagine why Zack never went into building for himself. His designs are pretty awesome.

[@debbiemoeller2169]

Love when Zakk does interviews!! He is so open, honest and funny!! BLS baby!!🖤🖤🔥🤘

[@yupperdude1]

Zakk looks like a god damn giant next to them 😂

[@gambrenrebell3311]

Zack is great alot good health and waiting for another concert BLS, Zack Sabbath or Pantera or even new project :) all the best guys

[@shovington67]

Its interesting that the conversation turned to guitar shapes. I've always wanted an SG customized to my specifications, with the bottom coming to a small subtle point (that I've seen elsewhere), and the horns being slightly more pointy. Unfortunately, customizing guitars is a prohibitively expensive and sometimes unattainable venture. Take Gibson for example. They often refuse body shape nuances, fretboard radius, and even colours that don't sit within the exsisting coveted Gibson specification guidelines. Its doubtful that they'd creat an SG with a subtle point at the bottom of the body.

[@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power]

Zakk Sabbath featuring Black Sabbath 🤣🤯 Brilliant.

[@miketrudelle769]

That is power!!!

[@johnleavell5562]

🤘So good Fellas

[@bad_dreams_hex]

I hear Zakk once talked over himself.

[@jtyoung706]

You couldn't have heard that because Zakk would've talked over the person telling you.

[@bodydomelight]

La Verdad ….

[@damned1313]

Zakk looks like a walking billboard for Zack Sabbath

[@johnleavell5562]

Maybe the most real info I've seen anyone get out of them

[@Jerry_dixon]

Great interview!! 🎸🤘

[@mcasuse]

you can say all this when you have a guy that sets up your guitars the same way every time!!

[@OU-gp3rg]

Zakk can almost out talk Steve Lukather 😂

[@GabeHelma]

That would be hilarious to hear them both together 😂

[@closetcreationsinc.7550]

He’s twice the size of all of them

[@billydeewilliams9104]

Zakk, and a little guy who wants to look like Zakk. Cool.

[@apr6337]

Come on zakk you know you loved the LPs with the robotuners 😂😂😂

[@stephenfalkenberg1954]

Hey it's Zakk 1 and Zack 2...........

[@anotherone7924]

Yeah, Zakk 2 is travel size, tho.

[@russellzauner]

TIL: if you don't have a loophole, make one

[@russellzauner]

also when is zakk gonna release signature model boots

[@Fukna69]

Yeah I like to keep it simple, don’t reinvent the wheel, plug and play

[@stratjed]

When you see a young Zack Wild, you see why the over macheesmo.

[@brianarmstrong6060]

Probably the first interview ive seen where Zakk wasnt cringy with the Saint, Lord and Father stuff. Lol

[@anthonylemanski9032]

What makes it cringe?

[@mrhyde2250]

@@anthonylemanski9032it’s dumb. 🤷‍♂️

[@anthonylemanski9032]

@@mrhyde2250 tell him that

[@jakedemars2964]

Before the tour he was going on interviews saying he was using Dimes rig.. he just admitted that was all bullshisha

[@averyfilms1432]

I was behind his rig for MetLife when they opened, only things from dimes rig were the doubler/flanger, noise gate, and the whammy pedal, other than that it was all his stuff (amps too). It’s like he used his rack and that’s it

[@dudehuh5491]

how about a Zak Rhoads tour

[@robertrogers7939]

Why is everyone wearing winter hats inside ?

[@johnnyrock8848]

cold

[@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power]

🤣 Zakk is such a vintage ham. Shecky Greene over here 😂😂

[@Ikillintel1]

11:42 Hey Zakk, you might want to talk to some of the fans, because there certainly were bad ones made by Gibson and Epi.

[@christopherhickman3579]

I had a Gibson zakk wylde and the wylde audio was better … I think I got a Bad one or one that was mishandled cause i could not get this thing to feel right

[@Metalhead-4life]

How bout doing running with the devil 😂😂😂

[@shable1436]

I remember these same hard rock artists making fun of blues guys like the ones I was into like srv, and so on talk about how they sound good, but had no layers of effects in their playing 😂 it hilarious to hear the same players all grown up and elderly statesman of basically saying the same shit. Bottom line, is tone and talent start with minimal effects, then gradually incorporate the use and mastery of effects is the old guard way

[@mrhyde2250]

Oh Zakk…..I promise that you CAN improve a LP!

[@adamloyd8545]

You need the new color to sell

[@rksdmf]

Zakks absolute need to always talk in analogies and being very, very, very bad at it is extremely exhausting in all his interviews makes it extremely exhausting to listen to. Love him though.

[@Guitarist888]

Did Zakk loose his muscles?

[@johnnyrock8848]

he lost weight

[@keithlilja6433]

Great interview. Not sure why of all the douchy comments on here. You dig it or don't but you know how it goes. Once a douche always a douche 😂

[@clintstryder1131]

Copy that!

[@std310shaycg7]

zakk keeping the sabbath. he shuld read more judaism...

[@ShadovvV]

Man.. it's difficult for me to watch even a few more minutes of this. Ugh. Couldn't even make it half way.

[@Ouzo66]

Obviously Zakk doesn t know much about ZZ Top gear.....🥴🥴🥴🙆🙆🙆🙆🙆Ad for the LP if that guitar would have 24 frets would be perfect

[@TheSadistNat1on]

Sick clothes Zack. Fart

[@justinkassinger8238]

JD is barely a bass player lol. No one has ever said "jd deservio" is a great bass player lol. Zakks whole schtik has gotten stale man. And im a huge wylde fan

[@MUCKFOOT⁶⁶⁶]

shut, up. you probably listen to gay rap music

[@CrazyCooter-ld6sz]

Did he talk about Viagra every 2 minutes like he always does? I dont know what he does more. A pinch harmonic squeal every third note or yap about Viagra and "Lord Ozzy."

[@raymondalfons3071]

Maybe listen to his solo albums and the albums with Ozzy and open up your ears. Than you know what he does more

[@user-yj2xl9hp7z]

Zach Wylde rules I will never order from this mail order again. They sent me three crap lp custom shop guitars blemished, and then took three weeks to refund American music supply stinks 😷
