Post by: Loomer on July 28, 2011, 11:54:44 AM: Tomorrow's headlines:

"ZAKK WYLDE OVERUSES ARTIFICIAL HARMONICS.

In other news:
- Water still wet, Scientists report.
- 99% of bears continue defecating in forested areas
- Vince Neil acts like tw@t, onlookers non-nonplussed."

Post by: Roobubba on July 28, 2011, 12:15:07 PM: Mmm I didn't think that was over-use... Maybe I need to use them less too :D

Post by: FELINEGUITARS on July 28, 2011, 12:37:32 PM: Overuse of them does weaken the overall sound rather than occasionally spicing up the riffage - and yes I agree about the chorus pedal - (or rotovibe or whatever it was) seemed to deaden his sound a lot.

+1 :lol:

but yeah too much chorus there for my liking
Title: Re: i've pinched a few harmonics in my time, but this is silly
Post by: gordiji on July 28, 2011, 08:50:08 PM: tone sucks was my first thought and largely because too much chorus.the playing is overdone too and ozzy's singing is cr@p as usual (no disrepect meant).
Title: Re: i've pinched a few harmonics in my time, but this is silly
Post by: Philly Q on July 28, 2011, 11:58:52 PM: The harmonics are excessive, but the worst thing about that clip is that shiteous SG-V thing he's playing.

Post by: Transcend on July 29, 2011, 09:20:26 AM: as for crazy train i would rather listen to when this 9 year old japanese kid played with ozzy

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s3yEGX1EoY0

He fudges up the solo but he has tiny hands and a full size guitar + ozzy picks him up whilst hes playing it which cant have helped.
Title: Re: i've pinched a few harmonics in my time, but this is silly
Post by: gordiji on July 29, 2011, 12:21:45 PM: brilliant vid toe knee, miles better tone, vocals still awful but it shows why ozzy deserves to be the legend he rightly is.
Title: Re: i've pinched a few harmonics in my time, but this is silly
Post by: Dmoney on July 29, 2011, 12:32:59 PM: is that Zakk drumming in that vid?
It's defo not Mike Bordin.
Title: Re: i've pinched a few harmonics in my time, but this is silly
Post by: Ratrod on July 30, 2011, 12:26:47 PM: Such a far cry from the 'No More Tears' period.

Back then his playing was more tastefull and less excessive.

It's true, even then the harmonics were very much his signature thing, but not so excessive.

As I always say at these times, I still think the Pride & Glory album's the best thing he's ever done.

Post by: Davey on July 30, 2011, 02:12:40 PM: those two asses (ozzy and zakk) annoy the piss out of me >.<

cant $%&#ing stand them. they both should've quit a LONG time ago

And I always agree. I really find all his other efforts boring at best, and irritating for the most part.
Title: Re: i've pinched a few harmonics in my time, but this is silly
Post by: Sancho on July 30, 2011, 03:19:07 PM: Pride & Glory is the best thing Zakk has done by a wide margin. Still, his performance on Ozzy's No Rest For The Wicked can't be overlooked.

Agree with all of this.
