Not even a big Zakk Wylde fan but that sounded massive bruh.
Brilliant job! Learned a lot and laughed my ass off. Cheers from Boston
I've owned 12 Gibson Zakk Wylde signature models, and this makes me regret selling all of them.
I'm on the prowl for a ZWA serial number…
Sounds great man. Zakk is a fucking beast and a lot people don't get just how fucking good and how talented he is…
Can you do the Ozzmosis tone? That one is killer, Perry Mason's main riff is sick
I saw this tour !! I remember thinkn wow I don't think zakk looked at his guitar for the full show
Dude uve got killer tone I'm embarrassed now lol time to turn some knobs ????
The only thing you got wrong was you could not hear the strings and keys at the intro they were way too low
If you dislike the guitar so much why didn’t you by a zakk guitar
the neck joint is NOT part of the tone!! LMAO!!!! https://youtu.be/n02tImce3AE
my hands get black evetime I play guitar. you're not special.
Great vid! I'm curious as to what you'd suggest to anyone trying to recreate this tone but using readily available modern stuff.
You're a funny bastard yourself.
I can never tell when a Welsh person is taking the piss or not though.
Bro it's a hot take but I totally agree, I don't care for the "happy" whole step riffs of a lot of the RR era tunes, I get that they were trying to write pop tunes but it was never heavy enough for me either. RR was obviously a monster player but I prefer pretty much every other Ozzy guitarist over RR for both composition and tone.
What were your jcm100 settings? You did great
Neck joint part of the tone… I hope the tonewood department do not notice this… or we'll have a new barshit theory XD
Zakk reintroduced the craziness ozzy needed in a guitar sound. No Rest is a great album, with a maniacal guitar tone. I appreciate the subtle techniques he displayed on that album. Randy was great, i enjoy listening to Randy's tweaks underneath or set back behind his main hooks. I enjoy listening to what he's doing during Ozzy's vocal verses and choruses…even the subtle nuances during his solos. Randy and Zakk are where it's at for me. Taking nothing from Lee at all of course! And….it's possible that I have no idea what I am talking about! Love your videos btw!
when you talk about ozzy's music with randy being too happy… alot of 80's metal/rock is very positive. i realize you are talking about your personal preference, but that's how the 80's were, despite all the nuttiness that was going on during that time. also, i think tone is contextual. i've heard some isolated tracks from famous songs who's guitar tone was ass by itself, but perfect for the rest of the "soup". randy roades has more than one song like that. also, not ALL ibanez guitars sound bad. i like the super 58's in my ar. my ear isn't as well trained as yours, but to me they sound as good as my les paul does.
i dont understand why you didnt mention the most important secret in that low bass distortion… wich is the yamaha rev 7 rackmount symphonic patch. this is going nowhere without that effect
Zakk’s amps were modded by M&G amplifiers. Slightly different but still very close.
So No BASS Octave divider Employed ???? On Mo More Tears >?????
So good. It should be easy for dig to mimic 2 inch by now.
Amazing. I have no idea what it takes to change a speaker, but when I think about you swapping speakers and cables and pickups and whatever, it sounds like an astonishing amount of work. Thanks for all you do!
