People who think he’s overrated are out of their damn minds.

@tonesdad0408 1 year ago

When are we gonna get to a point where ZW is appreciated and recognized as an icon before he has to pass away. His guitar playing is legit and he has the right attitude.

This guy was like 19 or 20 years old, pumping gas at the gas station in small town, New Jersey, and went straight to playing with Ozzy for over 20 years… I seen him play twice once with Ozzy and once with black label both times he blew our heads off this man needs a documentary. He would have some crazy stories.🤘

Don't forget when he tore his hand wide open and didn't stop playing :)

Saw Zakk play at Experience Hendrix a few years ago with some of the best guitarists in the world paying tribute to Jimi… Then Zakk walks out, lays his thing down and absolutely floors the entire building. Dude doesn’t get enough respect, particularly in light of all the respect he shows for other players.

Zakk Wylde is one of the best! Hardest working guy in metal/Rock today!

@carlstawicki1915 1 year ago

His greatest skill was not rocking the boat with Sharon, which made him Ozzy's longest-running guitarist.

For the real people he is "The Boss"

@MrTwiggy73 1 year ago

I like how pre-beard Zakk Wylde looks like a totally different person but you can still recognize him by his stance on the stage.

@RalphMayers 1 year ago

I love this guy.
Brutal guitar playing is really his thing.Simple licks,simple patterns-but he is the best in it.

Yet, I've seen hundreds of comments in the last years he's been playing in Pantera Celebration, that he sucks and is one dimensional. Those people are either just so loyal to Dime that they are freaking deaf and blind.....or they are actually deaf and blind.

I wish they would put him in the rock ‘n’ roll Hall of Fame before he dies, to me ZW is the greatest guitar player ever ☠️🤘

Man has the most iconic guitar sound in history

@HELLRIDER.99 1 year ago

They forget the one when he was shredding with his tongue

@briantesterman5778 1 year ago

Hands down, my favorite guitarist. Was lucky enough to see him multiple times at Ozzfest (went 8 times over 10 years). His solos are nuts, not to mention playing behind his back and also playing with his damn tongue mid solo

@LisaCranston-v9q 1 year ago

He makes his guitar wail and then some..A guitar virtuoso..

@TheExpendable316 1 year ago

I've seen him two times one with BLS and one with Ozzy and all I can say is that whoever who hasn't experience Zakk live you really need to go and see this guy playing live, you'll understand why he is a guitar God
