Big Ric talks to Zakk Wylde of Ozzy and Black Label Society fame. They discuss Ozzy's passing and Zakk's projects with Black Label Society, Pantera, and Zakk Sabbath.

A sad show today, remembering the life of Ozzy Osbourne. Chaz and AJ spoke with Zakk Wylde back in March, about his excitement in joining the Ozzy farewell show. (0:00) Jimi Bell was one of the very last guitarist tryouts to be considered for the band, before Zakk Wylde was the selection. Jimi was on the phone with Chaz this morning to talk about the tryout process, having dinner with Ozzy, and jamming with Zakk after watching all the other guitarist hopefuls be sent home. (5:44) Live Nation's Jimmy Koplik was on the phone to talk about Ozzy's death, the rare sell-out feat Ozzy achieved in Connecticut, and explained why Connecticut always seemed to be able to book OzzFest dates. (27:20) Tribe memeber Kelly was on the phone to talk about the live tribute to Ozzy from last night in Hartford. Wolfgang Van Halen brought the house down with a rendition of "Mama, I'm Coming Home," and the Creed tribute was so Creed. (39:39) Doc McGhee, KISS manager, was on the phone with Chaz and AJ to talk about bringing Ozzy to Russia, and his close friendship with Ozzy and Sharon. (44:10) Carmine Appice, who drummed with Ozzy, was on the phone to remember his friend and bandmate. Carmine shared a story of Ozzy immediately being smitten with a Long Island burger joint after just one visit. (53:25) Don Dokken was on the phone to talk about the Jam at the Dam coming to Connecticut this weekend, but spent most his time remembering Ozzy Osbourne. (1:01:53)

Interview by Kris Peters Photo credit Jeffrey Graham Photography Knotfest Australia 2024 is less than a week away, and despite boasting bands of the calibre of Lamb Of God, Disturbed, Halestorm, Skindred and more, the band on everyone’s lips is Pantera. After getting back together last year for some live shows - with Zakk Wylde filling guitarist duties and Charlie Benante on the drums – the new-look version of Pantera has come under fire from certain quarters, with others praising the band for bringing their music to a new generation. It is a debate that has merits on both sides, but at the end of the day it should be accepted for what it is. A celebration of a band and their history. HEAVY caught up with Zakk Wylde for one of Pantera’s few interviews before Knotfest. We discussed the line-up, nerves before the first show, and the personal significance of playing music written by Dimebag Darrell, as well as the possibility of new music, his involvement in the Ride for Dime event, and Zakk’s excitement for the upcoming Berzerkus festival plus his work with Black Label Society, the status of their upcoming album, and his creative process for writing new material. We also addressed criticism of the Pantera reunion and more. “We just got done wrapping up the last run of the headlining shows right around near Madison Square Garden, which was pretty amazing,” Wylde beamed. “It’s been a great time. I mean, every night, you know, celebrating Don, Vinny, and Philip, and Rex, and this amazing thing that they created that just brings everyone together. So it's a beautiful thing every night.” Listen to the full interview for more.

Hey I'm not here to judge. Besides what's wrong with a good cleansing? Time for some more fun and games with Zakk Wylde. I caught up the legendary guitarist from Ozzy and the leader of Black Label Society before a show at the historic Rave in Milwaukee, WI. We talk Grimmest Hits, we talk the No More Tours 2 announcement from his boss, and yeah there's some talk about anal bleaching, don't judge. Zakk Wylde: @ZakkWyldebls Cutter: @cuttermedia

You never know what you're going to get when you get a rock star out of bed first thing in the morning for a phone interview. You know, late nights, groupies, cocaine and hash, trashing hotel rooms.... okay, nobody does that anymore (sad). Zakk Wylde at 9am in L.A on phone could be a disaster but it wasn't. He was softspoken as you would imagine him to be at that time of the day - certainly not rabble rousing Zakk we talked to the in the past. Wylde is out promoting the new BLS dvd/cd UNBLACKENED. Its not an unplugged album but one with alternate versions of their songs with acoustic elements added to chaos. It's as if they took their foot off the pedal for a moment.

In 1987, a young and enthusiastic Zakk Wylde was rescued from cover band obscurity by his idol Ozzy Ozbourne, who chose the then-19-year-old to replace guitarist Jake E Lee (who himself had replaced the deceased Randy Rhoads). Over the next 20 years, Wylde would become not only Osbourne's guitarist, but like Rhoads, his musical partner and confidant. And with his own band, Black Label Society, he would establish himself as a strong singer and solo songwriter. MusicRadar recently caught up with Wylde for a characteristically entertaining (though - be warned - politically incorrect) interview.
