Title: Zakk Wylde
Post by: Nadz1lla on October 22, 2007, 07:45:13 PM: Anyone know why he can't sing anymore?

I have Book of Shadows, his voice was really good on that album.

Now he just tries to imitate Ozzy. Badly.

He should stick to his roots!

Post by: Pauldem on October 22, 2007, 09:07:05 PM: I didn't even mind the Alice in Chainsy stuff of the early BLS, I just wish he'd lose the whine. I actually wrote a heartfelt plea to his website when 1919 Eternal came out( I know its really very sad :oops: ). But I just wanted Zakk back doing his Allman Bros Vocals....

Post by: HTH AMPS on October 22, 2007, 09:10:41 PM: Agreed, it sounds shite now he's got that Ozzy thing going on. When I first heard BLS I thought it was Ozzy singing until my mate told me.

His singing on P&G was the best, actually - thats his best album too (free of all that bullshitee macho-posturing biker cr@p)

:twisted:

Post by: shaman on October 22, 2007, 09:12:24 PM: noticed that as well...his effort at sounding more metal, I always thought..maybe trying to distance himself from his southern rock days, but I dig his Allman-like mushmouth singin'...(of course, I am in the deep south.. :)

Post by: Pauldem on October 22, 2007, 09:20:34 PM: I think that a P&G style band is currently what the world is lacking. I had a pop at doing some Southern style grooves a while backe with a group called Dead Man Wade but you just don't come across vocalists with that sweet southern style round these parts :D

Post by: Simon D on October 22, 2007, 09:57:43 PM: My best guess as to the change in vocal style (which I really don't like - much prefer the P&G/Book of Shadows style voice) is that, as Ozzy's voice has got weaker, Zakk has had to back him up vocally far more when they play live, and has adapted his voice to fit. It's a shame - he sounds like an Ozzy clone now.

Post by: Will on October 22, 2007, 10:36:38 PM: and also Ozzy's new music has the chugging BLS downtuned riffs
it seems they are becoming one

Enough of the pinch harmonics, I need vocals. Another vote for the P&G days, but I actually don't mind his "new" vocals so long as he doesn't go too much into Ozzy mode. At least he tries to sing instead of grunting and growling.

Post by: Mr Ed on October 23, 2007, 10:06:51 AM: ARGH!! ZAKK AND HIS PINCH HARMONICS!!

That's probably my biggest gripe about him, he uses them way too $%&#ing much. It's like "oohhh look at what I can do all the time!". He's a bearded, drunk equivalent of the kid who sits in the corner shouting "LOOK AT ME!"

Also, I'm pissed off that TWICE I've had tickets to see BLS and the gigs have been cancelled. :evil:

Just wish he still wrote and sang like this.

Post by: Will on October 23, 2007, 08:46:34 PM: I think most have agreed that he did sing once

If he shaved, he may begin to:
sing properly
think about composing music more
learn a new technique to overuse
and take his foot off the damn wah
:evil:

Agreed. Much as I like his stuff, the last few BLS albums have been a case of 'enough of the damn wah pedal and picking every note, already!'

BTW, that's coming from someone who posesses a Zakk Wylde Dunlop Wah - I just don't use it all the time. I also have a legato lead style, which helps! :wink:

That song has great vocals imo.
