Zakk Wylde Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Zakk Wylde:

On the tour we get a case of beer on the bus every day from Ozzfest.

If I sit down with an electric guitar, what's going to come out are Sabbath/Zeppelin type riffs, but if I'm sitting behind a piano late at night, I might write something like 'Desperado.' You're not going to write 'Desperado' between a wall of Marshalls and thumping, crushing volume.

Zakk Wylde

You never toot your own horn.

That's why for Zakk Wylde's Black Label Society the colors are black and white. There are no gray issues. Life is black and it's white. There's no in-between.

Zakk Wylde

The way I look at it you can always get better.

Zakk Wylde

It's pure Black Label. It's about violence and booze. That's all it is. There is no plan.

Zakk Wylde

All my writing, I always do it in the studio, 'cause everything sounds good. The piano's there, the keyboards; if you want to put strings on something... And everything sounds good when it's in the cans; it sounds killer.

Zakk Wylde

Another time I cracked two of the vertebrae in my back and broke a rib.

Zakk Wylde

If I'm playing with Ozzy it's just a guitar thing. But with the vocals I feel like I'm studying for the SATs.

Zakk Wylde

It isn't a band. It's bigger than a band. It's a lifestyle.

One day my wife went and saw the accountant and said she's pulling the plug. She said you guys are done. I said, how bad can it be? 10 grand? She said you're not even close. It came out to almost $50,000 in alcohol for two months.

Zakk Wylde

Any guy that's not working with the same amount of intensity and passion that I do, I don't want to know.

Zakk Wylde

Another Black Label motto. That's what I think life is. It's just another bridge to cross. You ask no questions. Whatever work it is you gotta do, you gotta go over it, under it, through it, around it, to do it.

Zakk Wylde

I'm just worried that there's enough beer on the bus. That's the top priority at all times.

Zakk Wylde

We just done doing The Blessed Hellride tour and Ozzfest.

Zakk Wylde

I've messed myself up more playing music than when I played football.

Zakk Wylde

If you bleed Black Label and you're going to be a man, you gotta get up there and do what you gotta do every day, relentless and as tired as you can be.

Zakk Wylde

Since day one my thing has always been to play the music.

Zakk Wylde

I screwed my knee up once because I fell off the stage.

Zakk Wylde

There's only one Sabbath guitarist and he is the architect for everything, Tony Iommi.

Zakk Wylde

You're never going to learn everything.

Zakk Wylde

You listen to Black Sabbath with Ronnie James Dio in it, and it's not Black Sabbath. They should have just called it 'Heaven and Hell' right from the beginning. Because you listen to that 'Heaven and Hell' album, that doesn't sound anything close to Black Sabbath.

Zakk Wylde

Because with Black Label and all the fans it's just one big family.

Zakk Wylde

On the tour we get a case of beer on the bus every day from Ozzfest.

Zakk Wylde

For me, the music dictates the melody. Give me a riff to sing over, you know?

Zakk Wylde

We were sitting on the bus one day and there were 5 of us hanging out. There was only one beer left in the cooler and we actually all took a little cup and split it. It was a pathetic day in a rock and roll when five grown men have to be sitting there sharing a beer.

Zakk Wylde

Back when I was jamming with Axl and the guys they had boxes of cassettes with song ideas. How do you know which ones you like now when you have that many ideas.

Zakk Wylde

Had an awesome time. You tell me to show up and all I have to do is drink beer, play guitar all day and I can lift weights and you're going to pay me for this!

Zakk Wylde

As much as I love heavy riffs, I like The Eagles, Neil Young, Elton John, Crowded House.

Zakk Wylde

I had throat surgery. We had to check that out and make sure it wasn't cancerous. I had a polyp on my vocal cord, so I had that taken out.

Zakk Wylde

The tours are campaigns.

Zakk Wylde

You had better love the music... because sometimes the music doesn't love you.

Zakk Wylde

Great musicians, you don't just hear them, you feel them. When I listen to Randy Rhoads, I feel every note. I learned a lot from him.

Zakk Wylde

You've got certain guys that just want to be famous and then you've got the real musicians that just love playing music.
