ZAKK WYLDE On Taking DIMEBAG DARRELL's Place In Hypothetical PANTERA Reunion - "I'd Look At It As A Celebration Of All The Greatness They Achieved"
August 5, 2016, 8 years ago
Guitar legend Zakk Wylde (Black Label Society, Ozzy Osbourne) recently guested on Hard Drive Radio and discussed his new album, Book Of Shadows II, politics, and the hypothetical Pantera reunion that would see him pay tribute to Dimebag Darrell. Check out the interview below.
SiriusXM recently uploaded two new videos of Wylde covering Black Sabbath’s “N.I.B.” and “Sleeping Dogs” on Octane. Octane is pure, high-powered hard rock that's loud, uncensored and in your face.
Wylde is currently on the road with US and Canadian tour dates in continued support of his new LP, Book Of Shadows II. Wylde will hit over 40 cities spread out across the US and Canada this summer including a performance at Heavy MTL Festival in Montreal on August 7th, a first for him as a solo artist. Tyler Bryant & The Shakedown and Jared James Nichols will serve as support. A new tour trailer video can be found below.
Wylde, as always, has been on the road nonstop. He wrapped up a buzzworthy stint on Steve Vai's Generation Axe tour just yesterday in Red Bank, NJ and prior to that served as a marquee artist on The Hendrix Experience Tour with the likes of Billy Cox and Buddy Guy. This is the first time Zakk has toured as a headliner in the US and Canada since last year's Unblackened tour.
