Zakk Wylde Solo 1985 (Age 18)

[jloch85]

i wonder how many bj's he got after this

[ErlendRagnaMusic]

no matter how much people hate on this video, they can kiss my ass cause zakk is a f*kn billionaire by his guitar playing today.. :D

[711CYA]

I worked at Close Encounters in New Jersey where Zak played with Zyris. I knew him and Barbara well back then. I have the original band poster from the club signed by Zak, but with his REAL name!! The management company for Zyris was run by a guy named Peter Jaye...WOW...those were the good ol days!!!

[guillotinedeath]

a bunch of wankering that every non guitarist would be impressed by..............

[ardnega]

@guillotinedeath every 18 yr old guitarist wants to play as fast as possible and only a few can do it good. so give the kid a break.

[trancemajestic]

I hope that guitar is a chick. Cause he just fucked it. Awesome!!!!!

[MrFenderbender97]

he was a teacher at the music store I take lessons at

[Drew927]

i heard he turned into a real jerk . is this true?

[DcnBls]

@Drew927 from what I hear, Zakk is still one of the nicest musicians around...still loves his fans..

[kaden06shaw]

SDMF

[TheBalweezy]

actually lemmy from motorhead wrote mama im comin home

[Gonzoidz]

no doubt the dude was a prodigy.

[Lythunder]

w/o beard he looks so fake till you hear him shred!

[ghero1123]

you know why this is great? its before zakk knew how to play pinch harmonics

[THEMEGADEVILOFUTUBE]

cool

[JrMcCole06]

At age 18, this (kid)k\ knew how to play the guitar. Thats why he played for Ozzy and took over Randy Rhodes position. Which is a top spot that I don't believe many people would fill. He played amazing with Ozzy, even wrote "mama I'm coming home" if you didnt' know that at a young age. But also playing with Black Label Society. Zakk Wylde is an amazing guitar player, face it....

[deskducker]

@JrMcCole06 He actually took Jake E Lees spot. Jake played on Bark at the Moon and Ultimate Sin.

[ftillard88]

he had never learned???? jaja it seems he was born playing that way!!

[cesarbarrios89]

hi suck hard even in his youth, i though hi was boring because is old, but fuck what a boring guitar player

[Salvadorinvincible]

@cesarbarrios89 learn to spell troll ;D

[AmIWhoreAble]

@cesarbarrios89

if you have notihng to do but go looking for things to dislike i think you should do the whole world a favor and either go fuck yourself or go die. thank you :)

[thefuturevoice]

@AmIWhoreAble I'll second that

[thefuturevoice]

@AmIWhoreAble I'll second that

[motley13mars]

Anyone know what is the song of the end???

[keysB3P]

I do agree and have for 30 years that less is more for lead guitarists, more than 30 seconds and I'm bored to death. Play the very best you have and stop.

[heavydale]

i love zakk but sometimes.less is more!!

[68ussanesu]

DEVASTANTE

[MrLynchrules]

he did play mother earth

[Sk8SaM47]

is it just me or does his playing in this vid VERY strongly remind me of buckethead's playing?

[bastardindindin]

@Sk8SaM47 yeah,at 0:50 that´s buckethead licks trademark. 

[xXMeTalZXx]

48 people sucks at guitar

[kickalion]

[RazorStormInc]

@kickalion Yes, Ozzy's Album "Black Rain"

[kickalion]

@RazorStormInc you are moron

[RazorStormInc]

@kickalion Two Possibilities: 1 You Were Being Sarcastic; If So There's No Body Language And I Cant Hear Your Voice, So I Didn't Catch It. Or 2: You Are The Moron; In Which Case LOOK IT UP.

[secretagentYTer]

@RazorStormInc dont wotty bro, is sarcasm, morons dont get high rated comments

[RadioNothing]

@kickalion hehehe

[keysB3P]

@kickalion He is of course and pretty darned good, he's entertaining and knows his guitar neck well.

[allencoates2]

Allen Coates/Broken Man,Youtube. check it out! Its pretty cool. Thanks! Zakk is a all time great.

[fred1395durst]

chuck norris: and people say im the best......hmm

[StormReefProductions]

bad company cover at the end "rock steady"

[eduardo0796]

slash, thats a good way to use a les paul

[ArGeNeration]

@eduardo0796 are you trying to say that Slash uses les paul in "bad" way? lol, ignorant fanboy

[eduardo0796]

@ArGeNeration nah, whatever..

[MrCockSlut]

@eduardo0796 slash is an awesome guitarist

[bubbleheadft]

Did anyone else catch Revelation (Mother Earth), or did i just imagine it?

[demendatfolousgel]

BUCKETHEAD influenced?

[TheKrypt666]

46 dislikes ?? O.o 46 peoples didn't know what is the real music .

[jimboishere11]

Still the same old solos, even back then. Now i like Zakk...Alot. But its just the same ol same ol.

[Fallenangelrock1]

These kind of guitar players are a real masters because They didn't have internet to learn and download the tabs as nowadays

[PDXguitarfreak]

Wow he had those fast pentatonic licks down even way back then.... then again, I think he joined Oz's band a year or two after this. 

[vft98]

@PDXguitarfreak two. he joined in 1987

[VAbudsucks420]

@kickalion You're dumb he did play with Ozzy...

[kickalion]

@VAbudsucks420 you are biggest dumb with no sense of humor

[strNpwrKC]

@VAbudsucks420 Aparently you didn't "get" it. Idiot

[LWRCftw]

@VAbudsucks420 are you serious?? like really? do you have any sense of humor at all?

[balls86ful]

is it just me or does it seem that this footage of young Zakk and the Footage of young Dime make it seem like they were better players when they were younger??

[HigorHell]

@balls86ful Just you mate

[wtu61]

@HigorHell haha spot on reply man

[comicozy87]

This guy should make his own band!

[xxBlaskxx]

Yeah he's rockin it, bit bad on staying in tune with scales probably didn't know them yet...but he knew what he was doing!!

[xxBlaskxx]

Yeah he's rockin it

[PODSpecial]

Back when he had no muscle ;)

[RockEngineBand]

@PODSpecial all his muscle is in his fingers back then ;-)

[FenderRhodesService]

a fine example of too many notes played very fast .....(no content)......

[MiTsOSLiFe]

Guys i wana buy one zw wah pedal and i was wondering if i can conect it to a fender mustang I answer pls!!!

[brndnusin]

@MiTsOSLiFe As long as your guitar has an imput jack, it can be put through a wah pedal.

[MrYungsan]

lol is he wearing a cardigan?

[GoodGlaven]

Oh man, the amount of 80's hairy poontang he would have gotten that night could fill a warehouse!

[demaddinstahl]

YEAH ZAKK IS THE FUCKING MAN ! HE IS THE BEST !!!! DIMEBAG & ZAKK FOREVER

[genopave6]

zakk wylde is the man. love pride and glory. love bls. love ozzy. long live rock n roll and the people who love it for what it is.

[wyzapple]

This is the kind of over-achiever, do good-er that will go far in life one day, and then when a person like this gets bored with being at 'the top' of his profession, he may end up starting a cult, or forming some kind of secret society.

I think we might be reading about this kid at some point in the future..future...future...futu­re.

[stancefashion]

@wyzapple dude! its zakk wylde!!!! OZZY'S GUITARIST! BLACK LABEL SOCIETY! OF COURSE WE HEAR OF HIM!!!!!!!!

[DrShredGood]

Wow. Just. Wow.

[SamFisherCell]

[Abigor98]

[Motopsycho96]

I hope I can get this good at 18... I'm 15 now, I have the time, maybe :P

[kumaburnface]

@Motopsycho96 you can for sure dude, just commit to it

[Motopsycho96]

@kumaburnface yeah I am, I play (songs and improvising) about 3 hours a day (I pick up the guitar a lot of times, but all combined are about 3 hours), maybe if I keep this up I could play like him.

[SeattleMonster86]

back when he was all cool and not some biker alcoholic trash scum fuck

[monstergojira]

@SeattleMonster86

Honestly, your ad hominem attack strikes dull against the fury of one of the greatest guitar players alive today.

[wherewildthings]

@SeattleMonster86 just cause he likes beer and bikes don't mean he is scum hes a good dude

[ssjcarf]

one da ill be like this!!!

... a man can dream

[SDJrekoff]

What The Fuuuuck?!

[janderson2000]

This kid should mow lawns

[brownspottedbanana]

I hope my neighbors like this solo

[SpheriaTV]

i bet zakk looks at this and gives himself a hard-on.... SDMF

[zaphirine123]

omg this is awesome

[omaregb]

fuck, if i could play like that when I was 18 i'd surely not be studying engineering : /

[Hayseeed]

at 18 years old...Fuck he was also a guitare monster!!!

[sheetstain69]

sounds like he might like randy rhoads or somethin? hm just my guess

[Adiman423]

man! that is a bitchin' solo

[MrHeavysteel]

3:08 our Jersey bro has got groove too. I love you man !!!

[Kizales]

Just to think: This is only after 4 years of playing......Amazing......

[mmx358]

@Kizales it is normal if You know how to practice.

[KingDiamond14]

@mmx358 can you tell me how ? please ! and no im not kiddin realy wanna know : (

[laza023zr]

I bet he ate so much pussy that night...

[idolkritiq]

@laza023zr actually he went home and practiced for 5 more hours ... was more into guitar than pussy!

[MrSleep1980]

at 1:30 he started playing revelation (mother earth)

[percey]

I'm sorry but I think he played better back then. too much beer fucks up your brain, all he does is rip through scales and pinch harmonics now. he had some soul back then.

[typedeaf]

Wow. What year is this? He is dressed like its the 70s. He sure was a lanky bastard back then. Goldtop Gibson, nice.

[mikejohnny27]

A star is born!

[glennhar11]

Someone please make a Zakk VS Buckethead video with this.

[glennhar11]

Zakk VS Buckethead

[Flaplez]

any1 notice wen he playd behind his bak he was playing lefty?? and hes still amazing !

[MrBonesbucket]

@mgt436 LOL

[MrHeavysteel]

I doubt that after this show Zakk had much of a pussy . I think he went to gay brothel as he likes to say. 

[insomniac5150]

What a gorgeous tone that Les Paul goldtop has,just roars.

[insomniac5150]

At first I thought it wasn't the real Zakk, but then smoke started rising off the fretboard....

[kickalion]

this kid should play with ozzy!!

[wolfbringer]

@kickalion um dude?? he DID. He took over after Randy. Hence the description "in his pre-Ozzy days

SDMF motherfuckers!!!!!

[wolfbringer]

@kickalion He did dude. hence the pre ozzy statement in the description, now he rules he rock world in a little band called Black Label Society. That is all for rock for dummies 101 DISMISSED!! SDMF mother fuckers

[wolfbringer]

@kickalion He did dude. hence the pre ozzy statement in the description, now he rules he rock world in a little band called Black Label Society. That is all for rock for dummies 101 DISMISSED!! SDMF mother fuckers

( do some research you might find something you enjoy as much as us SDMF'ers enjoy BLS)

[TehLastSmurf]

@kickalion ha actually he is not a "kid" anymore

[StreetSoldier88]

@TehLastSmurf Thats the joke, moron.

[TehLastSmurf]

@StreetSoldier88 jesus christ...dont get so fucking mad I thought that kid was actually saying that settle the fuck down

[yuvalo1]

@kickalion Ozzy should be asking to Play with him , not the opposite

[guitarjunkee32]

@kickalion >.> please tell me ur joking, he played with ozzy 4 god knows how long

[k90728]

@guitarjunkee32 it was a joke.

see those 114 thumbs up.. they got it ;-)

[adz6386]

2.05 onwards is some FUNKY SHIT MAN!!!

[vigen92]

It's not Zakk Wylde yet, It's Jeffrey Wilandt)) Zakk plays better))

[Maverick1130]

@vigen92

we had the same spanish teacher. his senior yearbook picture is pretty damn epic.

[IIIIITHE1IIIII]

I bet if Zakk still played like this Ozzy wouldn't have KICKED HIS ASS!

[28crazyguy]

like a white jimi hendrix

[MapleLeafAce]

Satriani, Vai, Wylde...all of them were masters of their machines before hitting full adulthood. It makes me wonder that, should I not be at that level by the time I'm 18, if it's even worth endeavoring.

[Kashmirishable]

Zakk's the man, must buy his epiphone stuff. But dunno what about the damn amp... think I'll need one.

[KingDiamond14]

This clip makes me go n' play guitar when im to lazy to do it !

[megadeth125]

@KingDiamond14 really? cause it makes ME never wanna play guitar again...>.>

[Myndera]

first, I thought I see Axl Rose playing guitar

[MrSTUD300]

he started when he was just a little spermy :)

[92chrisaa]

@MrSTUD300 With a paul strapped to his back! Lol XD

[DeathTernya]

42 enemy's of Zakk. 1264 Metalhed who konws what is the music!

[aweisti]

just proves that some people like dime and zakk were born to play guitar

[EXTREMEproductions1]

was he famous here already

[Samy10m]

Zakk was born with the Les Paul! Hehe

[SantiFlashback27]

42 motherfuckers !!!

[joanquesada1]

i thot he was good when he was about 20 but when he was 18 i guess he was good to

[digimortal401]

rock the f!#@ on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[riprev123]

BEST GUITARIST OF ALL FUCKING TIME!!!!!!!! ZAKK MOTHA FUCKIN WYLDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[arabmoney11221]

this is four years of playing.i dont really know what to think

[MrHeavysteel]

3:00 look at the moves folks.

[2bornot2b1984]

He could have died right after this, and this one video would have eventually surfaced and made him a legend.

Sheesh. That's pure virtuosity. At 18? He wasn't just fast, but had an excellent concept of composition, and playing from the heart instead intellectualizing the notes.

I am amazed considering how talented he is that I really don't like anything he has done with Ozzy or Black Label Society.

I wonder if joining an existing band de-railed his own creativity.

[CryForPieceOfMind]

he has the grove for sure

[TheJakesk8s]

you can hear a lot Rhoads playing style influenced him back then...R.I.P. one of the greatest guitar players in the world...Zakk Wyldes tone used to be awesome..now its all covered up in flangers, phasers and wah solos ..which are good but could be be less "muddy" i'm a 2 year guitar player so don't hate its just my opinion

[MrHeavysteel]

@TheJakesk8s That's part of his Robin Trower/Jimi Hendrix influence, i don't mind that, actually in png days it was really cool, and still is. I still listen to png.

[legomanxd449]

Did you go to school with zakk or something? That's so cool!

[buzzsaw177]

now, this is the zakk i wanna be hearing today...

[trancemajestic]

@buzzsaw177 me too

[andrewinternational8]

fUCKKKK

[thewolffebros]

@DarkloudInc Do not insult Jews, you nazi.
