Zakk Wylde

Brother Zakk, the leader “Doom Crew Inc.” was born January 14, 1967. The Guitar God is the founder of the band Black Label Society and is best known for playing guitar with Ozzy Osbourne. Although not really serious about guitar until his teenage years, Jeffrey Phillip Wielandt started playing around 8. From then on he mastered his craft with many hours of practice. Sometimes 12 hours a day!

The Godfather of the guitar “squeal” sound plays mostly Gibson Les Paul’s. The most famous being the black and white bullseye model dubbed “The Grail”. Being a prolific song writer, singer, musician (playing piano, harmonica, bass and guitar!) producer and even actor (most notably Ghode in RockStar) earned him a spot on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2006. Not too bad for a boy from Jersey!

The “Berserker” is touring with Black Label Society and also Zakk Sabbath. A band made up of Zakk(vocals and guitar), “Blasko” (bass) and Joey Castillo (Danzig). After being hospitalized for blood clots in 2009, Zakk has been alcohol free since. I guess no more Black Tooth Grins! Shout out to Dimebag Darrell (“In This River” is dedicated to him) and his brother Vinnie Paul! Both good friends, more like brothers, of Zakk and all the Doom Crew!
