Biografia
Born Jeffrey Phillip Wielandt, the musician began studying music age eight, however didn’t become serious until around the age of 14 and in high school – where he would commonly spend 12 hours playing guitar non-stop before having to go to school again. The guitarist’s musical debut came with the local band Stone Henge, followed a little while later by Zyris. Strongly influenced by the original Ozzy Osbourne guitarist Randy Rhoads, Wylde sent a demo tape to Ozzy Osbourne in 1987 and landed to role of lead guitarist. Wylde's debut with the band came on “No Rest for the Wicked” in 1988 and he subsequently played on a number of hit albums. Although Wylde eventually left the group to pursue his own interests, he remained on good terms with Ozzy and the band and returned to play and tour with Ozzy Osbourne after his replacement didn’t work out.
In 1994, the guitarist formed his own power trio Pride & Glory, however earned little attention and disbanded after only one self-titled album. Toying with the idea of joining Guns N’ Roses, Wylde embarked on a solo career instead which resulted in his debut album “Book of Shadows” in 1996.
Two years layer Zakk Wylde formed the heavy metal group Black Label Society and alongside drummer Phil Ondich recorded the band’s debut album “Sonic Brew” in 1998. The guitarist and vocalist has subsequently released an impressive 13 albums with Black Label Society and in 2006 was recognised at the Hollywood Rock Walk of Fame for his contribution to rock & roll.

I was offended that Father Zakk decided to step out into the crowd and walk to near where I was standing as I could no longer see him play.
I mean, I picked that very spot up in the back in order to see him. Because last time he was in Calgary, I was up front and got hammered ... and I was so hurt, I practically had to be carried back to the car, at which point I figured I`ll never rush to the front and try to stay there again (although it didn`t actually stop at that point, but)
Then, what does he do? Decides to walk around to the back and stop two feet away from where I am standing and ... well, WAS standing ... because I moved in order to prevent myself from being caught in a mosh, you know?
So, there I am, no longer able see him because 99 per cent of everyone is at least a head taller than I am. And the only way to keep myself safe was to walk in the opposite direction. Like, keep at least ten feet distance.
And return to my spot once he cleared the area. Why? Because the entire back row wanted to be up close and personal.
Like, large crowds have high trampling little people risks, don*t you know.
I am certain that JD, the 9 time winning Lead Female Actress in all Categories will agree with me, ... I tried to get his attention, but he was too busy doing his own shit ...
But the last time I went to see Black Label Society, he laughed at me for being front and centre. (Like, haha, you`re either die hard or you`re stupid or you`re both .. no, you`re both.)
But like I said .. I was probably the only person complaining. And just about that.
Nothing else.
(really).
And why are you asking for a review anyway?
Never experienced a `nauseatingly boring time` with the Black Label Society Folk.
And if you`re about to attack me for calling JD a female, then you haven`t seen BLS in a REALLY REALLY FUCKING LONG TIME and I feel for you.
Go get yourself a ticket and get with it.

I have seen Zakk Wylde in concert before, but never as a solo artist. He has performed with Ozzy Osbourne and his band Black Label Society. I eagerly awaited attending this show. I was curious to see what a Zakk Wylde concert would be like.As I entered the arena, the place was packed.
He completely sold out the venue. The fans were a mix of young and old. I found my seat and waited for the show to begin. The lights went dim. The crowd eagerly waited. All of a sudden, the first notes of "Crazy Train" began to play. This was a surprise to everyone. Zakk then appeared from behind the stage. His hair was whipping around as he played guitar. Within a few seconds, Zakk started playing his own songs.
He smiled as if he knew he was teasing the crowd. The crowd loved it. He continued for the next two hours playing a mix of old an new songs.By the end of the show, everyone was exhausted. It was an amazing experience. I never imagined the show would be this good. Zakk Wylde really gave everything he had. I plan to see him next time he is in my area.
