[christopherflorek]

[zodiacxkiller]

@cejason You should check how Marty Friedman holds his pick, now THATS awkward Lol

[cejason]

@zodiacxkiller lmao! i looked him up! no that seriously looks either like it hurts, or is just so hard to pick with xD

[Squa7ch]

@zodiacxkiller or the way eddie van halen uses his whole wrist

[OnThatPowder]

[Yeahhhh444]

what a shit guitar he's playing here

[mojoganjamaster420]

@Yeahhhh444 Lol, I don't really like it either, but its his new signature Epiphone so he has to rep it.

[Adrian92Smith]

@Yeahhhh444 I think amp's the problem.

[MrTippingthevelvet]

[pie5797]

[sel0422]

He needs to lose that gut!

[eramir228]

...That fucking turd hanging from this chin...

[daltonallinder]

wow......he said the "first string" when he was playing on the sixth string

[MrBizzyful]

@daltonallinder Yet I do not see you making awesome music or money... Oh I am sorry! You must be Buckethead! OMGEEZERZ! OMGEEZERZ!

Sorry sir, you still suck in comparison. ~_~

[tessa5150]

[Metallikakka]

[FromAshToDust]

1:40 Question what song did you first learn? Zakk replies, well anything on the first string.....YEAH RIGHT you probably picked up the guitar and played every damn string. lol

[TheConnord12]

DOES THOUGH KNOWEST WHAT THOUGH MEANEST?!?!

[Naronian]

@numberonepig FUCK YOU VERY MUCH, ASSHOLE!!!

[slash112112]

[FromAshToDust]

@slash112112 thats what i was thinking. that and iron man really were the first songs i learned other than mudvaynes dig

[MrFrankTheDANK]

@FromAshToDust dig was the first song i learned on bass !

[FromAshToDust]

@MrFrankTheDANK thats cool. one of the easiest songs i know, toooo easy

[MasterDeathLightning]

@slash112112 first song i learnt was TNT by AC/DC

[mc2alfawolf]

@slash112112 cant deny that

[BOKNOWSCOMPUTERS]

@slash112112 that guiter looks like a coffind

[MegaMetalhead1992]

@BOKNOWSCOMPUTERS thats why its called the COFFIN guitar!!

[BOKNOWSCOMPUTERS]

@MegaMetalhead1992 i honestly don't think its called that it doesn't even make sense

[MegaMetalhead1992]

@BOKNOWSCOMPUTERS its actually called the Disciple guitar according to Zakk, but the coffin was the design he was going for

[willemlol7]

@slash112112 I didn't. The first song I learned was "Don't cry" by Guns n Roses

[Crazypeson101]

@slash112112 the first song I learned was ''Walk'' by Pantera.

[dimebagdarrellftw]

@slash112112 Lol i didnt its funny the first song i learned was master of puppets...well just the intro i hated the solo so the first official song i learned start to end was eruption which is really fucking odd

[ziggystardust414]

棺桶ギター、良い音するな。

[sykop8ntballer]

@numberonepig u trollin.

[Guilherme81]

@numberonepig kid.. you are fucking ridiculous...

[gunraykilla]

...i learned iron man on my first day of playing guitar...

[Doobieman321]

@numberonepig wow if there was a hell you'd go for sure for that one.

[wilddcoyote]

@numberonepig ur a douchebag and both zakk and dimebag r AMAZING guitar players....

[carlsteen]

Skip the hat

[xxxdimeisgodxxx]

i honestly have to say i completely lost it for zakk as a guitarist :(  i feel like he cant do anything othder than make noise with his wah .. his tone blows as well .. i dont know what i ever saw in him .. anyone else agree ??

[rmarino4471]

@xxxdimeisgodxxx I can think of people way worse at that. cough kirk hammet cough

[WhatSayestThou]

I don't ask questions...I make statements.

[Maltesers97]

Metallica is one of the big four, not country -.-

[verynice420]

a coffin stand up bass looks good than a coffin guitar ,Look up Nekromantix

[cruemannix]

you know.what a king :)

[slaytallidetherafold]

Why is Metallica classified as country? Of course Load and Reload had some softer songs but country??? Mama Said sounded country though. But COUNTRY???

[ShawnMSchmidt]

The guitar is a Southern Cross, from Vancouver, WA. (not B.C.)

[BLSNunsWithGunsLJA]

the first song on guitar i ever learned was 21st century schitzoid man by king crimson lol, im probably alone in that section.

[Defensi3]

Hahha, Zakk is such a hero.

Check out my vid of Zakk Wylde farewell ballad!

[STRNGW]

this guitar suck

[DruNation]

zakk has a dreadlock now on his beard...maybe he's makin a reggae album lol

[Sivertsen17]

Of cource he was cool in his neighboorhood. Hes fucking Zakk Wylde!!!<3<3<3

[mikelilloillo]

my 1st song was the intro for enter sandman... and the intro for come as you are... I learned a lot of metallica songs... until I discovered my true love band... IRON MAIDEN

[stelisklados]

@mikelilloillo Yes!!!My first riff Enter Sandman.But i always loved Iron Maiden my favourite band but back then i could play their riffs.

[HerveGamerDude]

first song i learned to play was raining blood by slayer

[Brownwolfy]

The first songs I learned was "Commando" by the Ramones and Paranoid.

[skateboardermonk782]

first song i learned was eruption by van halen

[Chris778]

First song I learned to play was Highway To Hell AC/DC

[WieselVindiesel]

what an eloquent speaker, rflmao !!!

[jetlag51]

when i started, i was really into Metallica, and one Metallica riff i learned was all nightmare long, but i didnt understand drop tunings so i just tuned down my E string til it sounded pretty deep

[MrDAVE420247]

@jetlag51 if the first song you learned was all nightmare long then you are just starting out- and why would you want to learn new metallica? learn the old metallica so you can say you know a good song- i would say learn master of puppets if your into metallica- or blitzkrieg is good one to but not this fake ass new metallica that has been posing around since 95

[jetlag51]

@MrDAVE420247 why dont you be quiet and deal with the fact that not everybody has the same taste in music as you; i really like YOUNG Metallica, especially Sanitarium

[MrDAVE420247]

@jetlag51 sanitarium is a bad ass jam- everything before 95 by metallica kicks major ass- they have a few after but they have really gone down hill since newstead left

[jetlag51]

@MrDAVE420247 also, Fuel and King Nothing kick more ass than Chuck Lidell

[MrDAVE420247]

@jetlag51 those are the only songs worth dick off load album- the album had 10 other songs that suck cock

[jetlag51]

@MrDAVE420247 those are the only 1s you think are worth dick, i like all of Metallicas albums, thats my opinion

[MrDAVE420247]

@jetlag51 i liked metallica when they were a metal band- they are a 3rd rank alternative band now and it sux- listen to kill 'em all, ride the lightning, master of puppets, and even ...and justice for all and compare them to stanger, death magnetic and those load albums and you can definately see that they dont have what they had back then

[jetlag51]

@MrDAVE420247 did you not read wher i said "That's my opinion"? it means i dont care what you think and and stop acting like i should agree with you

[MrDAVE420247]

@jetlag51 you can like what you like- all im saying is that metallica was a better metal band than they are a wann be pearl jam band- and if you compare the early stuff to the newer stuff you can tell- im glad you like it- with out people like you sellout pussy bands would fail- you probably like fallout boy too- go to a metallica show and they play all their old shit not their new shit- why do you suppose that is?

[jetlag51]

@MrDAVE420247 i. i hate alt rock 2 they obviously play because most people like their older stuff, i like it too, but i also like their newer stuff

DEAL WITH IT

im done with this

[darkclam]

@MrDAVE420247 Metallica is classified as country. Manowar has spoken.

[MrDAVE420247]

@darkclam metallica is the greatest country band of all times

[xxxdimeisgodxxx]

@MrDAVE420247 lololl

[bulletfmvrocks101]

@darkclam  how is metallica country? i know this is unrelated to the video and i dont want to get of topic im just curious on how they are classified as country

[JoeyNOTShaw]

Ok, So Does Zakk Ever Play Anything Different. I Mean Sure, His Acoustic Work Is Great... But His Electric Work Is Shit. Trebly Tone, Wah ALWAYS, Fuckin' Pentagonic Scale... Shitty.

PS- Ugly Ass Guitar.

[blizzaria3000]

@JoeyNOTShaw Your trolling bores me :D.

[JoeyNOTShaw]

@blizzaria3000 Oh, Well In That Case Let Me Change! [How is that trolling?]

[BroadcastedByMe]

@JoeyNOTShaw u are stupid...

[JoeyNOTShaw]

@BroadcastedByMe thank you pointless, meaningless cum stain for your brilliant insight and spelling.

[Ratchetftw]

@JoeyNOTShaw Oh stop you silly goose!

[knowur10sand18s]

@JoeyNOTShaw i hear ya,i like zakk's music,especially his acoustic stuff but his electric guitar solos in particular do get very repetitive.

[Taygoo15]

@JoeyNOTShaw What scale would you like him to play

[JoeyNOTShaw]

@Taygoo15 not the same one over and over again.

[FLIGHTCOMPANY]

He seems like a talkative guy

[RevisedTV]

first song i learned was sandman

[hoang1428]

@RevisedTV lol me too. i learned sandman first week of playing, just the intro lol

[musicman204]

the first song i learned was Raining Blood, followed shortly by learning Smoke on the Water accidentally and thinking i made up a song

[danophile07]

first song i learned was paranoid by sabbath

[bigrock007]

I want to meet Zakk !

[thejesman]

Lol, I love that guitar. I think it's awesome.

[TRUEGUITARHERO2171]

the first song i learned was raining blood by slayer but then as i started progressing i found out that i was playing the song super retarted now i know the right way the song is played first song i learned the real way was smoke on the water

[CaRrUpToR29]

i think smoke on the water was like every1z 1st song.

[MrDAVE420247]

@CaRrUpToR29 thats because its the easiest riff to play- but is still excellent

[Th3MetalHead]

wow zakk is playing an epiphone xD

awesome

[Thepussfagslut]

he says "you know" 18 times in 2:39. No, we don't know, that's why we're watching.

[WarPede]

@Thepussfagslut i know :P

[Nelladagar]

@Thepussfagslut good one

[BrunoZ3Machado]

Zakk !!!!!!!

Thanks for perpetuating its full capacity and emotion into guitar solos, more than amazing !!!!! And give a chance to not only me but many others always have a reason to play guitar with all our heart and soul !!!!!! Thanks for being my biggest idol and teacher, and could give me a chance to be who I am today playing due to being able to listen and learn all the songs that made !!!!!!! Thanks!!

[mrshotgun1234]

Smoke on the Water and Iron Man, my first two songs learned as well, cool

[137Supra]

enter sandman was my first song, then i tried the beginning solo to Fade to Black, and failed

[blacklightize]

i hate that guitar but i like the one thats part sg part v thats sick

[000acr000]

@blacklightize The ZV, right?

[br00t4lbreakdownzfuk]

first song i learned was smoke on the water. actually, that song is how i picked up a guitar.

[SimonShreds]

"you know, and 'a you know, and you know" =P

[gunsproof]

Zakk is gett'n old but you've b'n never to old for rock!

[Syklenut41]

@gunsproof Hes like 42!!!

[nemogre]

ugly guitar...and the fucking floyd rose guitars never get to tune properly...fuck this

[GoCeltics734]

@nemogre

yeah they do, pretty easily too. you just suck at life.

My Ibanez with an Edge trem (floyd rose licensed, fully floating), stays in tune with no problems. And that includes massive dive bombs.

when you are tuning it, simply tune the e-a-d strings so that they are about a half step sharp. That way when you tune the g-b-e strings, the extra tension from bringing them up from flat will flatten the e-a-d strings back into tune

[MrDAVE420247]

@nemogre floyd rose never goes out- you must be doing something wrong

[marrag1]

yea that was the first thing i learned also but wen i took lessons my teacher made start from scratch and had to work my way up

[clouser67]

Ask the Asshole in this case

[yungbubbabush]

knights of cydonia is pretty easy, the intro pentatonic

[syxxsyxxsyxx]

Zakk mentioned that his son designed this guitar for him on paper and he had it made :)

[MLGxSLasH]

Someboyd wants to tell me whats this guitar ?

[KornSOAD]

that is the stupidest looking guitar...

[phoenixforce22]

i shit you not the first riff i learned was : Stronger than Death, By BLS. lol i was and still am crazy about it. Zakk is the fuckin man. you dont even need work with ozzy, got your Black Label Family. cant wait for the new record.

[pluraddict]

my first song ever was actually walk...my dad taught me when i was like 12 or 13.. well not the whole song but the main riff LOL i remember my brother used to ask me you gonna learn anything else besides that i used to sit there all day right on fret one..good times

[cartolpan]

@pluraddict Cool story lol! first mine was walk too :P

[Greenballed]

That is one ugly guitar. LOL

[Trevmeister671]

@Greenballed i think i heard somewhere that he was trying to get it as ugly as possible, while still keeping it badass

[Solidiquis]

Zakk learned the exact same songs i did when i first started.

[kamasoutra6]

@Solidiquis me too haha a lot of people learned that song first

[blackened2008]

@Solidiquis Thats true for almost everyone!...Iron man , Smoke on the water , Rock you like a hurricane....power chords baby , thats the first thing everyone learns...\m/

[1p0rnstar]

@Solidiquis

maiby u get that skill like him ;)

[befrankis]

@Solidiquis same 2 songs i learnt

[reallyguitarhero]

me too

[InuSama95]

@Solidiquis correction "Zakk learned the exact same songs EVERYONE did when they first started."

[Mechavrore]

@Solidiquis So did I, and I started playing guitar about 5 years ago!

[01Niky34]

@Solidiquis and th chinese song!!!!xD

[Mendlev]

smoke on the water in one string, also the first thing i did, well, probably the first thing everybody does when we start to learn how to play guitar xddd go ZAck

and R.I.P. dime

[KarlJoelsen]

Thats one strange looking guitar :P

But i kinda like it...

[slugbucket]

Cream- "Sunshine of Your Love"

[bootryfly]

looks like his beard is makin  a doody

[stonedeafforever88]

maybe im a little ocd but its drivin me crazy that his braid isnt in the middle its more off to one side haha i know its stupid but

[FirstBookOfMike]

He always does the same stuff on guitar in his interview and instructional videos.

[MrBrownstone1996]

@FirstBookOfMike Learn to play guitar and come back to say that in a year.

[FirstBookOfMike]

LOL. "@" "Mr.Brownstone"

I do play as a matter of fact since 1970. I've seen all of his instructional videos and that's how I CAN tell. I just checked out the few bars of your Paranoid garage cover. Keep plugging...kid. =)

[dimezakkrandy]

@FirstBookOfMike Most of his licks are pentatonic based, but its all different. Its just his style that's the same. Alternate picking and ballsy pinch harmonics are his thing.

[FirstBookOfMike]

@"dimezakkrandy"

No shit. Been using the same thing for years.

Laterz.

[SilentMonotone]

I love this guy man. The way he speaks just makes you think that he is really speaking to someone related/close to him. Really love this guy.

[SavingPrivateBob]

he seems calmer now. thats good :) love you zakk

[Truchristianrocker]

this may be a dumb question sorry but what exactly happened to zakk with the whole hospital thing? I cant find it anywhere?

[Schectler]

my first song was breaking the law by JP

[mturquie]

Ohhhh my lord!!!! He is so handsome and masculine.... I love him so damn much even though he is fatter now than 2 or 3 years ago!!!!!

WORSHIP HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ojfraz]

I think he need's a beer and just chill out for awhile. Fuck he's had a rough time .

[brylner]

He's had a rough time because of beer among other things. He doesn't need a fucking beer but his kids need a healthy father that will live longer than 50years.

[ojfraz]

That's true and I understand that his kid's do need a healthy father but you just can't give it all up . I mean family important but you only live once in so enjoy it why you can.

[brylner]

Yep you're right but if you're addicted to booze your forthcoming life has to be without booze othervice you're dead. Zakk can enjoy life better without booze because he will experience feelings he couldn't reach asan alcoholic.

Take care man and belive my words

[brylner]

By the way I just wanna tell you how I fell 'bout Zakks music especially before bls. I hadn't heard it but when I did I was stuck This man is musical genious. And I'm a musician myself and very fastidious. His live versions of Machine Gun Man and Dead as yesterday is like a blessing to your sole. Thank god there's still real genuine musicians with heart that can delivr music that makes you wanna cry instead of that bullshit american idol shit were they wash all personality away.

[drumlord420]

well said. kudos!

[brylner]

Thanks man!!

[Bathory1988]

whats with him he looks weird... different

i heard he was sober now? maybe thats why

[Syclone0044]

This was a cool feature but I'm a little let down he only answered 2 questions.... Hope there is more where that came from, ArtisanNewsService!

What's the story on the coffin guitar BTW?

[ConorSomerz]

New line of sig. guitars, mainly released because its halloween right now

[predz23]

@Syclone0044 he got a coffin from a merchandise company, and he went to epiphone to make a coffin shaped guitar for shits 'n' giggles, in his own words its so cool because its so ugly, so yeah its all just for fun

[wenser13]

read the holiday guitar world issue. it tells in there

and if i remember it was about how he almost died recently, and he wanted to make a coffin guitar because of that or something.

im not sure

so i dont want anyone to blast me for being wrong.

[brylner]

Halloween guitar I think

[vivi1poker]

damn... he's the shit

[tiger7234]

nice

[runescapeking0]
