Zakk performed “Fire it Up” with musicians from the Rockit Academy, a non-profit school of which Weiss is on their Artist Advisory board; kids age 8 to 18. Barbarann, Zakk’s wife and his son, Sabbath were there as well to join in the festivities. During the party, Mark and Zakk perform “Born to Be Zakk Wylde” live. The song is a parody the two recorded in 1987 at a strip mall at the Jersey shore shortly after Zakk received the news that he was officially Ozzy’s new guitarist.
