Black Label Society "Machine Gun Man" At: Guitar Center

[@luanrockNroll1]

" I guess it's easy to insult someone over the internet. The dude is fucking amazing, end of story." TRUE

[@freakingabagool3510]

Petulant children love using the internet as a tool to vent their own deeply-rooted emotional issues, nothing new. Zakk’s always been a great singer, period

[@iamwaylon]

This version is top tier. You can hear how much he's aged, how many miles he's traveled, and all the fucked up shit he's seen. Then uses distortion and effects to again break the musical mode by turning an acoustic into a fire machine. All these people saying its overdone, appreciate his evolution. And holy fuck, those fingernails

[@brentlineberry4098]

i beleive theyre acrylic, lots of guys do that!

[@M81_WOODLAND]

Shredding on an acoustic...with overdrive no less. Too cool for school.

[@heineken6120]

What a great singer he has become!!

[@lisarudolph4149]

For sure thank u

[@InspiredYouViewer]

I am so happy to see him to do one of the oldies.

[@timshadyeth]

Respect Zakk. Badass! Saw him 5 or 6 years ago in Portland and the acoustic stuff was probably my favorite or the keyboard. He's so talented.

[@gabe3475]

To everybody hating on zakk's voice, i love his voice. Deal with it

[@lisarudolph4149]

I agree he hits my heart in many ways don't understand why are some people putting him down can't change history

How could anyone hate his voice

For one of the greatest guitar players EVER he has a really great voice. Pride & glory album and book of shadows 1 are S tier albums

[@blademan6075]

My hats off to Tommy! Brother kept it cool and held it down while the boss went to work. Tommy played it stone cold.

[@riderpoet1]

without a doubt, this is the most amazing playing I have seen, a standard all your own at this point, play it like you own it

[@TheBurningcage27]

Great song and Zakks voice is fantastic fantastic guitarist too

[@matthewchapman2494]

I can almost do that.... just not with a guitar....or a voice....or at guitar center.... nevermind! Epic! Total love!

I had more respect for ZW before he started using an acoustic guitar for overdrive tones, Guitar 101 - use the proper guitar to get the proper tone.

Just pure love to the guitar brother amazing

[@MrTesa23]

love the sound of guitar here

[@cornholio616]

Whenever I am upset that I never learned how to play guitar, I just bring up a Zakk Wylde/BLS clip….. and I read all the comments of the "guitar players." It lets me know that if I actually learned how to play, that I would spend the time complaining, critiquing, and bitching, about guitar playing like this. Jesus!!! Now that I have accepted and accomplished nothing on the guitar, I can enjoy Mr. Wylde. Thank you You Tube…..

[@gertrud113]

cornholio616 thanks for the best comment in history

+cornholio616 ignorance is bliss

[@clovenramos7445]

you are speaking the truth with that comment and I do play guitar but that isn't a excuse to comment on a legends playing.

[@shredderjam8659]

all I can say is DITTO.

[@ryansons1682]

Mmmm hmm well said

[@B1G_Evil]

Zakk is always the greatest! You could not pove this performance, but is different from any other. Zakk, GIFD!

[@strangefishmusic]

brilliant track originally found on the 1 and only (why?) Pride & Glory album from '94. His voice seems to have some Axl-like qualities altho his diction is off at times but hey the guitar playing and sound are awesome,the FX are way cool

[@rockkirby1]

Jakke wow really enjoyed his show xperiance tour. He can light the house. Rock Frisco

[@WarrantIllusion]

people only want what they want, and expect what they want. theres no loyalty to the musician, uncle zakk is 1 of a kind and is truly amazing artist, his instrument sounds are just fine, and vocals are just fine. nothing can be perfect, or can be replicated just as good a 2nd or more times

[@arliefor-real9749]

Machine Gun Man, Fabulous says my Grandson!!

[@JesseLeiker]

Thanks for going with some Pride & Glory. Zakk's best work, period.

[@Jeepjones85]

Dude is so awesome he plays rock solos on an acoustic

[@JHOLE21]

some of the best songs consist of simplicity, he still fucking rocks

[@davidbrock7518]

Zakk Wylde is one of my top 5 guitar player's of all time he is the only player that I put in the same category as the Great RANDY RHOADS R.I.P.AND THIS INCLUDES (DIME)WHO I WATCHED PLAY SINCE PANTRA PLAYED COVER TUNES R.I.P.MY OLE FRIEND DIME

[@slaakbaf]

damn right that lick is why i listen to zakk it just sounds so awesome

[@rockkirby1]

On an acoustic simply outstanding

[@WyldeGui]

Ignoring the differences in performance, I am very happy to know that Zakk is resuming his previous work,'m really looking forward to the new acoustic ... Zakk're on your side! SDMF!!

[@pjmsuzy]

the best player................................

[@Swellownic]

He's amazing! His voice rocks out and he plays fucking well, is one of my greatest influences as a guitarist. But I think that he plays "too much" sometimes, it turns into a pointless pentatonic shredding.

[@mauriciomarques444]

4sure

[@mauriciomarques444]

Way 2 much shredding most times

[@holysoldier7485]

I recently heard this song, and thought, man, this describes 'exactly' how I felt coming out of H.S. and joining the Army. A loner, but never alone. The best part of that life was slow-cruisin' out into the country in my 68' LeMans convertible, alone, and smokin' a nice bowl of reefer.... feelin' the breeze and not givin' a shit about nuthin' or nobody!!! I couldn't wait to leave home in some way and get the fk out from under my parent's thumbs.... One day I came home and told them I was leaving the next day for Infantry School, and with $5K in my pocket to boot!!! Little did I know that I would be put into a Recon Scout Platoon and job as an M60 Machine Gunner on a gun jeep!!! Our unit was a 24hr deployable reactionary force. One Saturday some of us decided to drop some paper, and a couple of hours in, we got the alarm to roll. Triple-strand concertina wire surrounded the barracks and the whole battalion was outfitted full combat load. We drove blackout to the airfield and boarded C-130's not knowing where we were going, for what, and for how long. Talk about trippin'..... We flew for hours, zigzagging' through the mountains somewhere..... It seemed like the plane was going to roll over and stall, as the wheels on our jeeps would lift off the deck and the tie-down chains appeared as though they were stretching and contracting. We could also feel the wings torquing and crying out like they were going to snap off the aircraft.... We weren't told anything, but to keep noise discipline, and keep our traps shut. The silence was so loud that it made the cid even more potent. I won't further elaborate on the details of the events that took place when we got to where we were going, but man, that was one h of a trip!!! I don't endorse of all things, dropping cid when you're an Army M60 Machine Gunner and being deployed on a 'live' run!!! Those are 'two' trips that you might not return from!!!! As far as people not liking the man's voice? Too fucking bad sucks to be you!!!!!!!!!!

[@CAPSrule8888]

Zakk solos on an acoustic like no one I've ever seen

[@iamkenman101]

That's because he's using an acoustic as an electric with effects. It would sound like shit unplugged.

Absolutely. True metalheads generally stick by each other, they may not like all the metal, but they stand behind it. Not sure how all the beiber fans got in here.

[@amandalee082]

He's doing these songs for "YOU" guys, appreciate it, share it. Stop hating, I'm sure he had way more pet peeves about them then you all hating the new sound of it. The narrow minds of some people. {Frack}!

Zakk is one of the best, he's getting old now and for someone that drinks all the time at his age isn't good, but still my favorite next to Dime(HAPPY BDAY BRO) and Randy Rhoads

It's damned unlikely that a single person here (myself included) could even come remotely close to doing what he did in this video. This is cool & good. Period

[@healaras]

this is his signature lick back from when he was not that famous he uses it like 99% of the times in improv

[@Syke2485]

I'll put it this way to all the people talkin shit about his guitar and sound. He is a legend and can do whatever the fuck he wants. So no one can really take the criticism of a bunch of people living in their grandmother's basement seriously.

[@dlchambers]

Why is it that, in pretty much every video, whenever the lead guitar goes into an amazing solo the camera shows the rhythm guitar?

[@Disc1]

I don't think so, I mean, I agree that Book Of Shadows is probably his best work but BLS is just great too man. I mean, his albums are very consistent, each with a bunch of great songs on it. I couldn't live without it, especially now, when I'm watching Sons Of Anarchy all day long. It's just very catchy, simple and the combination of heavy metal and chill acoustic stuff just never gets old. Then he's just a very tight guitar playing and he used to be an amazing vocalist.

[@matthewterrell8471]

gotta love when people who have no clue how to play guitar or write music ignorantly comment on subjects they can't relate to. his nails are long to play classical style without using a guitar pick. I as a guitarist respect zakks talents as a musician, also from a musicans view hes never sold out. if any bls member sold out it was Robert going to Metallica to release St. Anger.
