He probably could have been a lot better without the beer. Flaunting your rampant alcoholism isn't cool either.

I blame only Sharon and Ozzy for this. Total shit move, but it was the Osbourne's call. Can't blame the hired studio guys for that one, imo.Beyond Black":hfcdw381 said:

Zakk is the fucking man.
He's become somewhat 'entrenched' in his persona and playing in the last decade... but I can't think of a player alive or dead that could go toe to toe with Zakk and not be blown down by his power and aggression. He is a force.

lol. I dig Zakk, but comparing himself to EVH, Randy to Yngwie is a joke.
I remember a sound check video with VH and Zakk tried to climb on stage and Roth shut him down.

I've always been underwhelmed by Zakk's playing. He does some cool stuff with the fast, picking every note, pentatonic thing. I just remember hearing No Rest for the Wicked and thinking, "This is the guy that's replacing Jake?" He was nowhere near as interesting, lead-wise. He's been playing the same licks for 20+ years now. He did have a cool tone and wrote some cool tunes. I'll give him that. Pride and Glory and Book of Shadows was the best stuf he did.

I see your point, and I definitely put 99% of the blame on the Osbourne's, but unless Sharon had a gun to their heads (and I wouldn't put it past hersquank":1art1k50 said:

Call me crazy as it appears I am the only one in this thread that thinks this, but I still think he brings it. An amazing player in my opinion. I wish I had his chops.

I think most people agree he still has monster chops. Just his song writing and solos have lost something over the years.
