Zakk Wylde - "Voodoo Child" - 7-10-93 - Novi, MI

[@Ogscottyp]

It don't matter if Zakk is at the Square Garden or in front of Home Depot parking lot, he puts on the fucking show of a lifetime.

[@undermoonlightglow]

Absolutely.

[@digg71]

Scott Patterson I seen him do this with BLS at an Ozzfest probably 10 years ago and it was amazing. The craziest part is it was absolutely down pouring rain and he still out on stage jamming.

[@paulpipkin3554]

When u can lick a guitar and make it purr better than your ? Um you’re welcome to Rock n Roll ❤️

[@lanzend101]

I love how, even though he's a big famous guitarist, he still performs on small stages too! He played at a bar in Green Bay, Wisconsin onces. Tickets were like $20!

[@venividivici80]

This footage is pure essence of rock'n'roll. And he plays in a mall parking in the middle of nowhere as if he were in Woodstock.

[@pattihall8346]

Great performance☺

[@Chillishest]

Jimi and I were talking just the other day he says he's flattered by all the covers of all his music. He has one wish though and that would be for everyone to leave Voo Doo Chile just for the eons. It's a very personal song he holds dear to him. I said I'd pass his request to to the living he politely said thanks man. Jimi is above us and in every sense of the world. Just don't ask him he will humbly disagree. Oh he asked for us to send his love to Linda. I said we would.

[@donaldthescotishtwin]

@@ChillishestCan I have what you’re taking?

[@benjamindrewes6562]

To the people that think this version is shit, then you obviously don't like Jimi hendrix then. He did to the song what hendrix did to the song every single night he played it. Hendrix jammed the shit out of this song in every way possible; and that is exactly what zakk is doing, just in his own style. THIS SONG IS MEANT TO BE A RAW, HEAVY FUCKIN SONG. Zakk is just doing what he does best. I'm pretty sure the haters out there all hate Jimi's rendition of The star spangled banner; well you know what? Jimi thought it was beautiful.

[@hugofender7712]

Wrong , this song is suppose to be all about the groove, playing fast is not hard but the groove is an other thing

[@hugobonin268]

***** it's a very bad cover. No intrigue no groove way much to busy, he don't let the song breathing, he is lost..... He is trying too much ... Hendrix was never too busy.

[@theilluminedone7896]

+hugo bonin Hendrix got way busy sometimes. He was a great player but he was not without fault or a god. I thyink this version is pretty fuckin cool. A updated hard rock take on a psychedelic rock tune.

[@QWERTY2106]

[@utube9000]

Zakk should return to this exact location for his final show.

[@phantomofoaktown]

you are hilariously awful

[@Tsoy78]

What "final" show ??

[@utube9000]

It will take place on May 15th, 2047 in this very parking lot in Novi, Michigan. Zakk will be 80 years old. See you there.

[@Tsoy78]

Why "final"? They only get better with age. I am just 10 years younger than him, and am not going to stop enjoying this !! So why would he?

[@MadDuck]

Wonder if he picked up a puppy and and foot long sub while he was there?

[@whitepapagold]

First line of the song should be... "Well I'm standin next to s Subway"

[@AvatarOfGames]

+SurfingOnBrainwaves Well I'm standin next to a Subway. Shoppin down by funcoland!!Stop at Little Caesar's for some pizza... AND SOME CRAZY BREAD!!

Missed opportunity

[@skald98]

I love Zakk. He's always been a working man's musician. He didn't just sit back on his Ozzy cred. He got out and did clinics and small shows quite a bit. He had a huge impact on me growing up because I actually got to see and talk to him at a guitar clinic and he shattered a lot of illusions I and a lot of people have about playing guitar, gear, and all that. And he's still doing it.

[@antoniosabato766]

What kind of illusions? What he said?

[@mikerose9313]

i was in the same boat. saw him at a clinic 3 months before this was shot, in the back parking lot of a music store. Most musicians that came by for "guitar month" clinics played maybe 20 minutes then answered a few questions. Zakk was there for several hours. Played 30-40 minutes, did q&a for a half hour, then played some more.Did that for hours, only stopping to down a can of budweiser every 10 minutes. Then signed autographs for everyone before leaving.Never met any famous person as down to earth as he was, and he would answer anything people asked him.

[@Dropsy517]

The Zakk of 93-94 was the best Zakk, imo. He was absolutely killing it....on fire.

[@Ricardo-cl3vs]

Also much, much better times than today...

[@AnnaMorgenstern]

I think Hendrix would have approved of this interpretation. He got the same tonal vibe that is extremely hard to do btw, and he has the same sort of live exploration, on the verge of losing the song but bringing it back, that Jimi loved to do. 10/10 would drop acid to this.

[@hugobonin268]

No groove , simply BORING , BORING, BORING !!!

It's easy for me I'm 59, I saw them all !!! I assume you've seen the Stevie Ray Vaughan version?

[@guitar6934]

i like Stevie Ray Vaughan 2

[@raymondtrotter1946]

I have decided that no-one can have a favourite guitarist anymore! That's because the guitar is the best instrument in the world because it's uses are so varied that you'd need an infinite list of headings and a favourite in each one before you could choose a 'best of show' which would have the same credibility as in a dog show in 'Spinal Taps' film 'Best of Show' But we can spend our time exploring and that is worthy. We can seek velvet, soaring, smooth glissando in a latin vein with Carlos Santana We can hear unbelievably fast, precise pizzicato from John McLauglin We can relax to the smooth sounds of Earl Klugh, John Martyn, Al Di Meola & Pat Metheny If we're blue there's Peter Green, Buddy Guy, Bonnie Raitt, Rory Gallagher, Stan Webb, Gary Moore and a host of others I we want something 'continental' try Paco De Lucia, Django Reinhardt and Manitas De Plata If we want to be blown away thanks for Steve Vai, Joe Satriani etc. To enjoy folk at it's best we need Bert Jansch, Richard Thompson, Joni MItchell and John Renbourn A bit of general rock with Peter Frampton, Nancy Wilson, Albert Lee, Alvin Lee, Johnny Winter and Stevie Ray Vaughan Get heavier with Tony Iommi, Orianthi, Slash, Richie Blackmore, Tony Bourge and Angus Young There's Clapton, who can do it all. Then there's Hendrix . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . !!!!!!! Apologies to all those omitted - for example, Jeff Beck, Duane Allman, Jan Akkerman, Joan Jett, BB King, Robert Johnson, Gordon Giltrap, Martin Taylor, Dickie Betts, Roy Buchanan, Andy Powell & Ted Turner, Steve Howe, Jimmy Page, Chris Rea, Joe Walsh, Robin Trower . . . . . .

[@RDnAC]

#1. I have seen Hendrix 3x and 2 of them were awesome great, not inconsistent at all. #2. I have seen Zakk a ton of times and he is also great and awesome and consistent. The point is they each had/have their own style and express themselves, their own inner being through their playing, their art, their souls, their individuality differently. Their energy is totally different so you can't compare them. Just appreciate their greatness.

[@mitchellseibel2859]

this is honestly the my favorite cover of this song ever

[@peacefrog3232]

Man, I wish I was there. He brings it no matter what.

[@civicminded76]

This guy influenced so many players, and musicians, it is humbling to IMAGINE Zakk rocking out in anything less than an sold out arena. His style, and tenacity can be heard in so many artists, yet here he is jamming in what is possibly a small ass strip mall parking lot in middle of nowhere. Zakk is the fucking Man!!! Lotta bands don't last 6 months, and he's been doing this all his life. How much cooler does it get than that?

[@_007B]

This is such a gem to have on tape. This recording is beautiful, the rotovibe in the beginning, the solo with the teeth and behind the head. All of that outside of a Subway somewhere in Michigan. It’s a great story to share. I love this video!

[@windpipe1964]

Zakk Wylde...your are one of the most highly gifted guitar player of all time...bloody amazing

[@DavidLaun]

He flows like the universe. Dude he's out of his mind whe he plays. Like in old times it was just the way man. Hendrix, Stevie, Jimmy, and of course Skydog Duane Allman. He's the man.

[@JC-11111]

❤️ For Skydog. You cannot forget him. He's the whole reason I started learning to play guitar. 😎 I've carried his name my entire life but it wasn't until 38 yrs old that I finally understood. And it affected me so deeply I want to learn to play myself. 👍

So many people cant just look at individual talent for what it is. If you are watching this you must have some interest in Zakk or Jimmy, or guitar and that is great! I have been playing for 26 years. I love the instrument and I love my genres. I personally do not like say, slipknot for example, so you know what? I don't go there. I don't label musicians as "Gods" or crap like that. I watch because I like their style. This song was a jam song, and Jimi, Zakk and Stevie both have their own way of doing it. Playing in a strip mall is playing, not a status.
