He puts out videos of him playing super clean.. I think he just carried away with trying to keep everything fast like the younger shredders. Not that he doesn't have the speed..

You're right. Best playing I've heard from him in ages. Phenomenal. I first saw him live with Ozzy in '88 on the No Rest tour. I was totally blown away. I'd seen Ozzy with Jake before that on the Ultimate Sin tour. Both are great players, just different. I wish I could play 1% as well.

I was about seven years old, and I remember grabbing my mom‘s broom and restarting the song and air playing the solo on the broom over and over again.. about a month letter my mom bought me my first guitar a lefty Epiphone Les Paul standard… if it wasn’t for this solo I would’ve probably never tried to learn guitar…. Easily, hands-down, one of the greatest solos ever recorded…… in my opinion of course…

[@user-lo1so9js2u]

Me too

[@henkestenke]

The solo that gets me every time. Zakk is in my opinion one of the absolute greats. The fact that he is influenced by Iommi, Page, Hendrix, Rhoades and EVH is so obvious when you hear him play. He fused them all together and made it his sound. No matter what you like, he can play it.

[@mikeg6666]

That's true but in the past 20 years I think his playing has gotten kinda sloppy and hasn't been that creative IMO!

He is truly an amazing guitarist, in my top ten. Because he is a total original, he was able to validate his statement when he said Dimebag was the best all around guitarist on the planet. Zakk is absolutely a god with the axe. But no one can replicate Dime. His sound was so unique that when he past away that sound was lost forever. And no one will ever be able to replicate it. I’ve heard Zakk do his best play the solo on “Walk”, and it’s just not even close to Dimebag’s sound. You ask any of the worlds best musicians past, present, and future.

I'm 55 years old. I liked this song in my 20's, but completely fell in love with it 3 years ago. I started playing some metal in the OR at work and hearing the song again just shook me. The guitar was SICK! So heavy! Why didn't I feel that back then? I now still LOVE this song to death and watching Guitar Thor still shredding it is a thrill!!

[@andersondefreitas3543]

One of those great solos of all time. I love Zakk Wylde! One of my favorites guitar hero of last time!! I think that piano is from Zakk too. He's a genius!! Greating fom brazil!

[@rdidier87]

No more tears....till that solo hits 🔥🔥🔥

[@davidstock2713]

Zakk is extremely good within keeping a tract of any kind fullest possible. No gaps during live performance, not easy to be so concentric towards full spectrum. He has so many tricks, licks, that his reaction time is extraordinary towards when to include.

Total masterpiece solo with so much feeling, certainly not just ' a bunch of notes'

Did someone just say a bunch of notes? ~ Kirk Hammet

[@lisaanderson7924]

I love the bass & Zakk’s guitar here, so awesome! I love how Zakk combines that heavy, crunch sound mixed with the pinch harmonics!

[@youngboyharless9769]

Definitely Zakks best work of songwriting imo. The guitar work on this song and the whole song in general are exceptional

[@Nick-vr2pf]

i had always held zakk and his style in low regard because i was never a fan/listener of BLS, but seeing these few playthroughs has really made me realize how solid and iconic of a musician he is. and his tone has been insanely consistent throughout all these years too! fuckin sick

[@jollyvoqar195]

I used to play this in a cover band - not this amazingly of course - and it was absolutely glorious to play. Godly guitar solo. Feels like you're about to explode out of your skin as it builds. So good.

[@GoufinAround_]

One of the greatest guitar solos of all time without even having to think about it

[@FelipeA.P]

The sound of the walles, the slides, everything is fckng cool.

[@Noname-zv5be]

Zakk is a amazing player one my guitar idol for sure

[@sergiomozdzenskijr.9246]

Zakk's perfect technique and creativity are mind blowing

I absolutely love this solo and the bass line - damn !

[@TeardropGhost]

Ohhh Mr. Mike Inez 🙌 another God. Mindblowing 💥

[@MrHypermoto]

For how popular this song is/was there are only a few live performances on YT, and none of them give you a good/clear shot of Zakk playing. Its really cool that he sat down finally to show the world what it looks like. The incorporation of a slide in metal is still such a unique move, and it really fits the song perfectly. It just gives you the ultimate dirty squeal! Like, dirtier than dirty. That squeal is nearly pornographic!

[@mikescholz5435]

Honestly, I don’t know if there’s a better example of a guitar solo telling a story. One of the best of all time.

[@MichaelMiller-wc6jl]

Listen to the opening solo from in this river live in Paris. THAT SOLO is raw emotion and stages of grief... brings tears to my eyes still.
