Zakk Wylde - Throwin' It All Away

[fruitloop600]

3.33 - 3.36 :D

[bajramovic92]

The thing is, this album is more Zakk Wylde than any of his other works. Compositionally speaking, it's fantastic. He perfectly mixes the acoustic guitar timbre with his amazing electric guitar proficiency. It's such a perfect album.

The bad? This is his only solo album. He needs to come back to this.

[akiraa1]

such a great album!!!!! sorry south park...positive attitude!!

[banger84able]

The man!

[Rockergirl1961]

GREAT SONG

[DGNNSMN4EVR]

to all the ones that knew this song was for Shannon Hoon awesome I knew him and he was a great man who I miss

[southerngirrrl]

BEST SONG EVER

[39kimberlee]

This song reminds me of my foster son... I cant have kids and he is throwing his life away of meth and self pity for the way life turned out for him. His mom got his back at 13 I had him for 5 yrs full time from 8-13 in my daycare from 3-13 I miss the child and life he could have been. Over whatever time and space I send him all my love.

[tiemyshoes92]

Zakk wrote this for the late Blind Melon singer Shannon Hoon who died in 1995.

everyone who knew Shannon loved the guy.

Zakk wrote a beautiful song for the man.

Shannon Hoon (1967-1995)

[DGNNSMN4EVR]

@tiemyshoes92

[MHendrix127]

6 people'd be raped.

[MrandMissesSmiley]

fucking genius{: I find it awesome how he can relate to my life present and past. Really makes me think of things differently, well in a good way.

[ElaionMS]

He was an awesome singer RIP Shannon

[SDMFbroly]

I cant understand why zakk isnt more famous, yeah he might use pinch harmonics a bit to much and the wah pedal but thats what makes him the guitarist he is, id like to to see someone else do else do what he does.

he makes epic riffs, beautiful acoustic songs and he an amazing singer, i could'nt carw less what anyone says i would love to be even half talented as he is :) SDMF motherfucker

[NicksEvilTwin1]

@SDMFbroly Don't need FAME to leave a nice little scar of the face of Rock n Roll and that is exZAKKLY what he has done his entire career

[walkingdeadhead20]

@SDMFbroly And don't forget he's and unbelievably amazing pianist.

[NicksEvilTwin1]

@SDMFbroly LOL Zakk will go down as the greatest fiddle player ever, it is the opinion of many that Zakk single handedly SAVED not only Ozzy's career, but RR as a whole when he came on the scene.

[dimetonn]

6 peoplie without brain

[troldenich]

first song ever that could make me cry :I

[MrMickey013]

sippin a guiness after drinkin 15 ICE BEERS

[11NACTX11]

the perpetual search to re discover yourself.

[TheRajaj7]

can't get enough of him

[JivaPurusa]

When the mirror of introspection speaks to me

reaching out through the dusty mirror like a BUDDHA

telling me.....

[rxking377]

Zakk is a truly gifted musician songs like this definantly show his genius

[stanleyfreeze2011]

RANSLEY-IN ORBIT

[mbrbone197185]

this song touches me personally, I heard it was written for the lead singer of blind melon, he battled with a drug addiction, he lost, left a little girl behind without a father, to me it talks about him just not loving his life enough to stop, so I can relate, great song....I get lost in it everytime I listen

[ltuomela]

epic solo from hell!..fact epic song...

[muskrat0009]

i played this song for my gf and she started to cry.......keep em coming zack wylde

[popper03244]

This song is just great I just dont have words to describe just how this touches me

[paulinhoabe]

0:00 - 0:23 sounds like november rains by guns

[Pulsar89]

This sounds so much like Pink Floyd's "Welcome to the Machine".

[DocJunior25]

amazing thing shannons song changes helped me kick an adiction he died of an od and wylde writes a great song about it life is full of irony

[crazyshaymarie]

1:31 lmao Love it....YyEeAaHh.

[VlaDuZa]

this is one of those songs that you fall in love with right from the first listening.

2:37 is PERFECT.

[Guitarplus12]

great music is always hard to find....

[ExpertGamrZZ]

God there's such a massive vibe of Zeppelin playing Stairway to heaven in the beginning of this song.

Zakk is amazing.

[blsmafia6]

Theres nothin zakk cant do

[kaylawicks]

This song is so beautiful :)

[MrRap07]

my idol

[13ShadowsintheGrave]

Such an amazing song.... 

[BlackGhostBnD]

Why isn't zakk wylde more famous? It's very hard to find this treasures!

[acefreezy]

@BlackGhostBnD true art always finds their audience.

[kickinballs92]

@BlackGhostBnD because alot of ppl in the world today dont know what real music is, its sad what the world has turned into

[dorkfish94]

@kickinballs92 Thats so fuckin true man. SDMF!

[kickinballs92]

@dorkfish94 i know ima little late on this but what is sdmf?

[dorkfish94]

@kickinballs92 Strength Determintaion Merciless Forever. Or Society Dwellin Mother Fucker lol

[casablanka]

@BlackGhostBnD Because he sucked later

[valerieash]

@casablanka i dont think he sucked later, sonic brew and stronger than death were great metal albums. and zakk is famous. just not the famous that losers like you know. if u ask any person in music whose the great guitarists out there right now they will say zakk wylde. dont judge greatness by popularity

[casablanka]

@valerieash In music, it is really important to put new stuff in front of the people. If you are a musician, you have to keep the changing going, and be different all the time. Even from yourself. You should always try to be better, and improve yourself. Zakk Wylde's almost all albums are smillar. I am not trying to be a cocky here, but I have a really good music history (and metal..) I listened them all, and I can easily say he sucked later.

[casablanka]

@valerieash And almost every artist come to end of creativity someday. I don't blame him, actually I respect him for creating such beautiful songs like this. But it doesn't change he sucked later.

[NicksEvilTwin1]

@BlackGhostBnD MORE FAMOUS?? ahahahaha The guy single handedly saved rock n roll in the late 80's with his licks, his song writting, and The Black Label Society, American Idol....hahahahaha how much MORE famous does he NEED to be?

[valerieash]

@NicksEvilTwin1 i can understand what the guy is saying though. zakk has been playing for almost 30yrs and i think the mainstream crowd is just starting to here about him. i have friends that claim to like metal but when i mention zakks name their like who.

[PhazzerPhire]

@BlackGhostBnD dude he is in my heart and soul....timeless music...

[1pugpug]

agreed!



[sprayawayable]

@BlackGhostBnD

I totally agree. He is one of the best musicians/songwriters, everyone needs to hear his music!!!

[Foquifox]

@BlackGhostBnD exactly, this so valuable not everyone can find it :) More for us hahahaa

[SamyGuitarist]

This was written for Shannon Hoon from Blind Melon!

[darklord1980]

Just found out that a former shipmate of mine and all around great guy just crossed over. Had this song stuck in my head. "You left a hole so big lord, beyond repair." RIP my friend

[tommy3663]

Simply put, an incredible talent, an incredible song.

[nicolassemaan]

I Love Zakk Man...

This Is a Real Cd !!

[kyjbrd]

god i love me some Zack

[bmxcramer1]

anyone who knows anything knows that zakk fucking wylde is one bad ass mother fucker! thank GOD for B.L.S!

[zkapke]

The end of the chorus is

I'll try to find forgiveness in takin' what

We'll never share.

Good video!

[codyjt5150]

this sounds so much like Pink Floyd. I'm not a fan of Zakk Wylde's stuff, but this album was an exception.

[themighty6]

mighty6 

[themighty6]

[ForgivenKazuma]

If I could choose one song to listen to for the rest of my life then this would be it.

Zakk brings all the emotion to the surface and throws it in your face with such beautiful playing and a soul filled voice that you cant help but want to be right there next to him singing along.

[TuneEdge4TheSoul]

i love how itunes,alt rock acoustic unplugged ans raw,radio station,has introduced me to amazing real artists,and youtube lets me connect learn and discover.

just saying.

[darklord1980]

"You left a hole so big lord, beyond repair." A powerful line that's always stuck in my head

[tmthy1012]

Zakk's music is the cure to my saddest and loneliness parts of my life. His music has given me hope and allowed me to be open with the shit I was going through and still am going through. I owe my life to Zakk. SDMF Zakk.

[AdamCursedUsFirst]

@tmthy1012 SDMF, Fucker! Stronger than death!

[mbrhamburg]

Thank you Zakk for blessing me sometimes when I need it! God bless you!

[funkydiscoparty69]

For those who don't know this song was wrote about Shannon Hoon. If you don't know who that is he is the lead singer for Blind Melon he died from a drug overdose in the back of his tour bus after a bad show and his failing new album soup that is actually very good but the public didn't want to hear musical genuis they wanted to hear No Rain.

[rogerwaters43]

zakk wylde should be in the rock and roll of fame down the road. if anyone agrees with me say fuck yeah motherfuckers.

[khamus00]

@rogerwaters43 fuck yeah motherfucker!

[shredneck5150]

I listen to this and think of my friend chris who is killing himself with heroin... You've left me with nothing to say.

[KingDime696]

Whenever i feel down and depressed and like life aint worth living i just put this album on and in an instant i know everythings going to be ok. Thank you Zakk, for blessing me and everyone else with this powerful and beatiful music.

[mgary124]

[Mudaseki]

[ThomasAdamBlack]

Trapped on a deserted island,,this is the song I could survive with...Really describes me..... favorite part "like the sand upon the shore,your crashing waves came took you away...

@MrNely07 i don't know if your lying or it's the truth, but i know what thats like, one of my friends brother overdosed on xanax and some other drug and it wasn't the overdose really , but he went to bad and he threw up and was to fucked up to move so basically he suffocated. i understand if you are telling the truth, thumbs up on your comment

[cindy91365]

@MrNely07 Man, Do I feel Your PAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My brother shot himself and died 10 days later. My family will never be the same without him. This reminds me of him and the "Sometimes you make a mistake that you cant take back," as my dad would say. Im sorry for your loss, but glad that you posted in memory of your brother, too.

[13ShadowsintheGrave]

@cindy91365 Yeah, I got me a brother too. Just found out he's fallen back into his old methadone habit. Hell, I don't evan live in the same town, what the fuck am I supposed to do? I guess when times get really hard on a personnal level, it gets easy to forget about everyone that loves you.

[cindy91365]

@MrNely07
