He's lost, unfortunatelly...

Is it based on a Gibson model? :roll:

Is it based on a Gibson model? :roll:
When Les Paul was developing the solid body guitar that would eventually become the Gibson Les Paul, he is famous for experiment with various shapes - famously a train track, but it is a little known fact that Les also experimented by attaching a P90 to a coffin - hence death metal jazz was born......
-
Oh dear, it's getting beyond a joke.
Somebody bust a cap in his mutha$%&#in' ass (as I believe the vernacular goes) before he makes one shaped like a beer can....
-
Such epic fail.

oh for f_cks sake....
the SG/V was rubbish, and whats this?!
i'll tell you - even worse than the SG/V. pathetic actually...

Nah, time for me to climb the metaphorical wooden stair to Bedfordshire. 'Night all! :wink:
-
every fourth beat he hits one of those wylde (sorry, couldn't resist) pinch harmonics - I wish he'd stop it, I can't listen to the guy play any more.

They should make a coffin case his size.
So he can go die.

Question: can someone explain why we hate Zakk so much?
-
Question: can someone explain why we hate Zakk so much?
Because we are all stuck in a rut remembering our favorite periods of his career (Ozzy, Pride and Glory, Book of Shadows). Also we are sickend by his OTT comercialism, I understand the guy has to make a living but seriously he'd endorse fresh air if he could get a buck for it.
To be honest he's probably learnt his business accumen from Sharon Osbourne, sadly he doesn't have a famous husband to use as a puppet so he uses himself.
Oh (puts on best 90210 voice) and pinch harmonics are like so last season! :lol:
-
A coffin shaped guitar.
I would have loved one of them when I was 14!

Question: can someone explain why we hate Zakk so much?
I think it's more a question of how can anyone not hate him, he's such a c--k.
There's also the frustration that this is a guy who (on past evidence) has genuine talent, but he's chosen to drown that talent in beer (and pinch harmonics), turn himself into a ludicrous cartoon biker/viking/Kerry King lookalike, and release the same boring album every year.
-
If the 'Vox Teardrop' had a child and the child became a goth, it would look like this :P
-
I understand the humor in the coffin bass used by some psychobilly bands.

But that guitar is just wrong.
-
Yeah his latest collaborations with Gibson have really made me wonder. But then they will bring out things like that 12 ply candy looking monstrosity. I guess they've got a lot of extra cash to spend on releasing a certain amount of "Novelty" stuff a couple of times per year. :?

The Coffin Bass is really cool.... The Coffin Epiphone Guitar? NO!

actually his 7 year son designed the guitar
there was a pic of the boy showing the drawing to him
:lol:
-
simply one of those guitars you see in the shop, shake your head and move on!
-
I totally agree with everyone. Zakks old stuff is actually some of my favorite music. Book of Shadows and solos like the one from No More Tears-Sold my soul. The guy had such an awesome mixed style of blues and metal and it was really good. I mean he had it all he had the style and that look that every rock star trys to do but cant. But than he grew out that stupid beard and tried to change himself into some trucker Biker Kerry king wannabe. In his interviews he sounds way more stupid. No wonder Ozzy is looking for a new guitarist. His style is totally different.
-
God, what an abomination! I saw it yesterday during my lunch hour at work, and forgot about it, funny how that worked out?
Its such a waste of talent, he was a fairly good guitarist back in the day, but now hes just a caricature of himself, and not a very well drawn one.
-
Well spoken ted
-
Poor Zakk..it must be so hard for him these days...not being good enough to play for Ozzy, helping design some of the must ugly Gibsons going.
Poor Zakk....
-
Remind yourselves of the good times.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gkeFtDVCZMo - This is what made me want to play guitar
He is modest, quiet, and direct to the point. Maybe he wouldn't have got as much success if he stayed this way.
-
does that guitar open up to reveal randy rhoads?

No, It's assorted Dimebag relics to be thrown out to the audience after the Zakk finishes his tribute solo to In This River.. :?

I think he would have had even better success. When you think you are the best or something than you start to suck

I concur.

It's almost as if he got more obnoxious as his beard got longer!
Maybe he didnt want to be mistaken for this player

This post should be called RIP Zakk because this bearded moron is nothing like the talented young fellow that is singing this Machine Gun Man song or anything else good. Im gonna post my personal Zakk Favorites. These songs are my favorites

Good choice, IMO there is far more stage presence there than the modern character has.
I was about to say it seemed like we are talking about Zakk's 'passing' :lol:

Yeah, I don't like Zakk any more but I was starting to think we've been going a bit over the top crucifying him in this thread....
-
Perhaps we have gone a little too far
check this out you all this is new news Ozzy has a new guitarist. To tell you the truth I like Zakks playing even better than this guy this guy does act like a really nice guy though
As of August 20th, 2009, it has been confirmed that Gus G. is the new guitarist for Heavy Metal icon Ozzy Osbourne.
Blabbermouth
-
I think my new favorite guitarist now is Doug Aldrich. He is my absolute favorite now. Its like Randys spirit passed to him.

Definitely, mate. I wouldn't call him my current favourite really (not while Joe Satriani and Gary Moore are still around), but he is terrific. Randy Rhoads would be in my top 3 guitar players without a doubt, and Doug is the closest thing there's been since, if you ask me. I'd love to have heard him play the Ozzy songs.
I seen Doug with Whitesnake when I'd barely learned who he was, and was just blown away.
-
Dude you know what aldrich did a randy tribute album look up Doug Aldrich on wikipedia and he did all kinds of covers for SRV OZZY a few for randy and metallica even. I agree with Gary Moore but Personally I am a rock guitarist and Joe Satriani annoys me but I am glad that you like him.

Now this is a decent ZW Solo!
Both examples of why I'm a big fan of the guy in the beggining of his career...
I think I've burnt my tongue, seems like he's coming with BLS in december... I may go watch :lol:
-
Maybe he should go for this one next!!! 8)
-
Perhaps the poor dude is suffering from burn out or has overdone it and is crashing? Maybe we should all be a bit more charitable? (and I sounding like a hippy here?)
-
I won't be buying this guitar. I will be buying the limited edition, hand signed, Tom Murphy aged Custom Shop relic model, a snip at £8,999. Each one comes with a hard shell case individually vomited on by Zakk.
-

I agree with that one Elliot ; as although I do not condone a lot of what he says - and how he acts of late, it does have all the hallmarks of the inevitable crash - after trying to maintain a larger than life persona as his 'schtik' .
Of course he could also have just become a spoilt brat ; but as has been demonstrated, the 'real' Zakk used to be ( and therefore at some level might still be ) a much straighter and sincere man.
It's like watching ( or being ) a manic person crashing through that hypothetical 'zero line' to an equal and opposite level of despair. Meanwhile , I just hope his wife and kids are getting good treatment.
As for his Black Label era albums ( specially 'Sonic Brew' and 'Mafia' ) - they are still my favourite choice to have a good weightlifting / kettlebell workout to. The 'sameyness' that folk sometimes complain about, works well for me there - in that it hits a groove and just keeps going , in an apty focused, chuggy and squealy way. Straight ahead Rock to accompany straight ahead hard work.
I hope he finds resolve and a balance before it's too late. :)
-
Ozzy and the new guitarist in his life Gus G and 9 year old Yuto Miyazawa :D
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7dahvFdmmR8
-
Hope he ain't got lost as 99% of young talents who got famous :D Playing that way at 9, he can make some amazing stuff in the future!
-
I hope he carries on enjoying it as much as he obviously did there, and they don't try to make him into a novelty act (Thomas McRocklin, anyone?).
I have to say that Ozzy - for Ozzy - was in pretty good voice in that clip!
-
I have to say Gus G fit in pretty well up there too
-
Yeah, I would actualy really like to see Ozzy live again just to listen to Gus' interpretations of the classics.
I didn't expect to want to see him live again :lol:
-
I just read that Zakk has been hospitalised this week with blood clots in his lungs and leg.
Hope it wasn't our bad karma that caused it. Get well soon dude, then lay off the booze.

My goodness Philly, it's a good thing the likes of you and I lead a life of 'perfect purity' - even if it is in-voluntary !
As you already said Philly , get well Zakk - then 'straighten up and fly right'....

Still playing the heavy metal c*ck role in the hospital though :?
Did his mummy never teach him to smile in pix?
It says that he can't sing because of the clots in his lungs, thats quite a shame. I wonder if he will be able to again
-
:lol: :lol: Noooooo :lol: :lol:
I really wish him well but he is gonna have to stay sober till he gets off the blood thinners.
He might just re-evaluate the direction his life has been taking.... I said might because the picture doesn't fill me with hope.
Good luck dude and try not to "Bleed Black Label" coz on warfarin you can't stop!
-
Zakk in a dress.
Get well soon mate.
-
From now on, whenever I see a pic of Zakk onstage, I'm going to be wondering if he's wearing anti-DVT compression stockings under his giant leather biker boots.
ROCK AND ROLL :D
-
Nora Batty Rocks !!! PDT_003

he's ready for some slayer cover...
chemical warfarin
AHAHAH!
(this is definitely the most doctor-oriented joke i've ever written in my life. i'm a bit ashamed... :roll:)

more zakk memorabilia
-
I've got high hopes for his next album... REALLY!
No booze - clean & sober - We could get to see what many of us loved about the guy again.
I think the blood clots might have transformed Zakk's future for the better.
Fingers crossed.
-
I can't think of an occasion when a musician getting clean has been a positive move for their music.
But, if he brings out another Pride and Glory, I'll take that back.
Cannae see it though, he's too far down that "I wanna be a biker and kid on I'm hard, so long as I don't ever actually have to meet a REAL biker that'll kick my head in" road.
-
Well, I have to admit you do have a point there... too many guitarist's "post dependency" output has been cr@p :?
-
I hope pride and glory comes back
