In the style of - ZAKK WYLDE - Part 2: PRIDE & GLORY

[@tommysdmf2737]

Wooow, Pride&Glory is my favourite album, heavily insires me to start playing banjo and a harmonica. Truly masterpiece for all times!

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Cool! Indeed! 👌

[@tommysdmf2737]

@@EugeValovirta230V also after that album I bought boss super overdrive, a rotovibe pedal and a dunlop JH-1 Wah, old one, as Zakk had that days

[@EugeValovirta230V]

I still have those old ones too and I used them on this video but not the Rotovibe ’cos I have no idea where it is 😊. I bought the SD-1actually before I heard that Zakk uses it by a recommendation of a local music shop Musamaailma with whom I still do business together. I also bought my first tube amp at the same time from them too which happened to be none other than JCM800 2203 (actually one of the key selling points from them was that ”Zakk Wylde uses these too” and I was like ”ok we have a deal” 😊. I still have two of those: one from 1984 with 6550 tubes and one from 1985 with EL34’s. Classics never go out of style 😎. At one point I had three JCM2203s at the same time and one JMP2203 🔥😁

[@tommysdmf2737]

@@EugeValovirta230V cool!!! I haven't any tube amp yet, but I really love Marshall 800s. For my projects I use ampsims by Vadim Taranov, amazing Marshall 800 emulation. Try it if you want) real deal for the ampsim)

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Love them too but I have no need for sims since I have the real ones and Suhr Reactive Load IR so I can play & record at my home studio with only headphones if I want 👍🔥

Hi Euge, thank you so much for going through the playing of Zakk (especially Pride and Glory - 'Toe 'in the Line' is freaking amazing and one of my favorite songs of all time), and also for covering my personal favourite guitarist of all time Jake.E.Lee, especially with The Ultimate Sin and Badlands and Voodoo Highway. Jake is so underrated, along with Gary Holt of Exodus and the master of all genre Sir John5. I love Zakk's first 2 Ozz albums No Rest and No More Tears, but P&G was something else along with Book of Shadows. I am not a gifted guitar player like yourself, I have played on and off for 20+ years & I struggle with learning songs by ear. I look forward to your breakdown of songs. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your time and effort, so very much appreciated. Please continue them, I love how you describe sounds, effects, etc. I am jealous you got to hang with the Viking himself though. Thank you again!✌🤘🤘🤘🤘

Man, where has this video been all my life. Machine Gun man was absolute perfection

[@EugeValovirta230V]

[@jasonveall88]

Best band EVER and soooo underrated. Happy I saw saw them twice back in the day. I’m just learning Trouble Wine right now.

[@EugeValovirta230V]

I agree 💪🔥. I saw them once. I had just turned 18 and they were playing in Helsinki and the show was about 3 hours. They played the whole album and then some Skynyrd, Allmans, Sabbath, ZZ Top etc. Goddamn! One of the best shows ever if not the best. Cool!

[@jasonveall88]

Euge Valovirta the famous one that you can see on KZbin still wow that’s cool. Mine was Monster of Rock and then the “Gibson Night of 100 guitars” in London. My dad was a guitar player so we both went and it was blown away by Zakk and Slash.

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Oh it’s on KZbin?! Gotta check that out. I still have it on VHS since it was a friend of mine who filmed that. I was at the front row in front of Zakk the whole time. It was kinda earth shaking experience to an 18 year old kid.🙏

[@jasonveall88]

Euge Valovirta oh wow that’s even better. Also randomly it turns out yesterday was 26 years to the day the last time I saw P&G play in London at the Gibson night of 100 guitars.

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Yeah! Oh cool! 👌

I would love to see the jcm800 settings on part one. There is a clear shot of setting of SD1 and CE5, but no JCM800 settings :(

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Can’t remember what I had but most likely everything around 6 except bass almost full and master & preamp just enough so that the tubes are working properly and breaking up nicely 👍. Check this out if you’re interested in dialing a great sound (especially on an 800) 😊: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rHTbnaaaeteZqs0

Really enjoyed the video, best one yet. Zakk's greatest work 💪

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Glad to hear! 👌🔥

[@milospopovic4878]

this album is super underrated, i love how late dimebag and zack picked a lot of influence from country players. their licks are so saucy, also I think that Billy Gibbons influenced their playing a lot. if I had to name the genre to this album it would probably be heavy country-blues.

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Indeed and I’d add southern rock to the genre too 👌😎.

[@Major_Fuzzz]

Great work as always Euge! Pride & Glory will forever be my favorite thing that Zakk has done apart from his early work with Ozzy. I really feel like that genre/style is where Zakk shines the best! I mean, P&G only released one album, 28 years ago, and it still holds up against everything Zakk has done since then (IMO)! Oh, what I would give to have been around in the "Shaved Era" of Zakk, to see Pride & Glory live. I prefer this album/sound/style over any BLS stuff period. Heck, these three songs you showcased were a HUGE reason I even picked up the guitar in the first place 16 years ago

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Thanks! Indeed 🤟. I saw them live back in the day and it’s still one of the best shows I’ve ever seen. They played almost 3 hours, lots of covers from Allmans, Skynyrd, ZZ Top, Sabbath etc. 👌

[@Mephilis78]

Hey, this isn't the ESP from the other Zakk video? What is this, anyway? Is it one of the old Lawsuit era copies? Has to be, the headstock is too close to be legal today,,,, right?

It’s a Tokai 😎.

[@chrislamport2180]

Loved this! Thanks Euge that tone is nailed in my opinion. I see Pride n Glory at Donnington back in 94 and was addicted then. Thanks for your awesome playing you sir Rock 🤘💀🤘

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Glad to hear! Thanks! Yeah I saw them in Helsinki at Tavastia Club around the same time. I guess there’s several clips of the show here in YT 🤘👍

[@johnsguitarmusicanddemos]

You’ve done an excellent job with all of your videos to capture his guitar tone and you’re a phenomenal player!

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Thanks!

[@timothy5974]

🤣🤣 Never apologize for getting carried away when jamming on the electric sword my Friend. I’m really glad to have found your channel. I saw Zack perform an acoustic set here in Chicago at a Jason Becker benefit concert which ended with Eddie , Steve Lukather, Billy Sheehan to end the show. It was a long Fantastic loud evening. Look up some footage in Chicago you will find it. Thank you.

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Loved the Pride & Glory album. Never listened much of BLS.

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Yeah it’s one of my all time favourites. Awesome album and band 👌

[@fluffyusa]

Me too, I've never cared for BLS but Zakk's first two solo albums (Pride n Glory and Book of Shadows) to my ears are masterpieces! I still remember meeting him a couple of times before he joined Ozzy back in the mid 80's thru my older brother and friends of my neighborhood (Harfield where his wife came from). Southern/Country Rock meets Black Sabbath, Rock On!

[@superweevel]

Good stuff man

[@tommysdmf2737]

I've made a blind test of two wahs, whitch wah tone is closer to that frickin' wah tone on that album. I have two wahs: JH-1 from early 2000's and Crybaby Original from early 90's(with no battery door underside and open-coil inductor on the PCB), so, it's true wah pedal from that era. Worthy to say, Crybaby Original is pretty close, to my ears much closer than JH-one. I know It can be a some sort of paranoia, but my ears a not so often lies to me.

Zakk is dangerous when he works with a great producer. When he rides alone... we get black label society.

[@EugeValovirta230V]

I agree. I like BLS a lot too but to be honest he has always been at his best with a great producer.

[@tommysdmf2737]

Pride&Glory was recorded and mixed mostly @LondonBridgeStudio places in Seattle USA on amazing vintage Neve console by Rick Parashar(R. I. P. Rick) and Jonathan Plum. These guys recorded lots of bands such as Pearl Jam, Mother Love Bone, Alice in Chains, Soundgarden,Blind Melon and Temple of a Dog. Any details are cloudly, 'cos no footage, no producers notes or stuff like that, but as we can hear, they recorded live on the floor. We can hear lots of room reflections, tons of microphone bleed and tube hiss from the Zakk's amp when he don't play.

[@Jay-sy5yf]

@@tommysdmf2737 not just the sound. The song writing. Zakk can't write by himself.

[@tommysdmf2737]

@@Jay-sy5yf but who is co-author on that album?

[@EugeValovirta230V]

I think he can definitely write by himself but a good producer always brings more input & vision to song writing, recording, sound etc. to the whole project in general. At least in my 20 years experience as a recording artist for independent & major labels 😎. For example I think Zakk’s best guitar solos are from the albums that has had a great producer involved. I can’t count how many times a producer has said to me for example like: ”Well...the solo was good but let’s do another take ’cos you can do better and try to come up with something more memorable and not just play million notes as fast as you can” 😊👍.

[@smulismuli7976]

Terve! You have way too much gain/distortion for pride & glory stuff. That’s back when Wylde still let the sound be organic and breath and sounded like a man. Yes P&G was/is one my favorite records all time. The later BlB stuff is just shit. Why, too much gain zero definition on the sound. Hyvin soitettu mutta huonot soundit pilaa koko hoidon 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Ok 😊
