Sure I will share. I was fortunate enough to attend one of his acoustic shows he did in February. It was for a radio station in Hartford, CT. WCCC. There were about 50 of us in this little studio where Zakk performed and told us all kinds of funny stories. I was in the front row!! He played 3 songs acoustically: In This River, Stillborn and Blood Is Thicker Than Water. It lasted about 1 1/2 hours. He then told us that he wanted to go to a pub and asked where a close one was and the crowd shouted out a close one, and he said that it would be his treat. He told us all to go to the Pigs Eye Pub and that he would be there shortly after. Well, I stayed back at the studio and got a poster signed by him and spoke very briefly to him and he gave me a hug and said he'd see me at the bar. I went to the bar with my buddy and waited about 15 minutes and then there was Zakk and all his entourage. His Wife was there too. A lot of the people from the studio did not go to the bar, which was cool, because less people. The bar locked its doors and we all hung out for quite a while and Zakk talked to anyone and everyone that approached him. He told me about how he used to play football in High School, and he even demonstrated how he would crouch at the line of scrimmage and take off like a bull. It was surreal talking to Zakk about High School life. All in all I got to speak to him one on one for about 10 - 15 minutes and he was the nicest guy and the most humble rock star I ever met. He also picked up the tab for everyone's drinks. I was very happy that day to say the least!! And there you have it, my Zakk Wylde encounter!!GUITARIDOL5682 wrote:Welcome Zakk a fellow BLS brother its a pleasure..Do you want to share your story from when you met Zakk ...Zakk !!
He really is a good guy. He was never once arrogant or even seemed to care that he is a great guitarist. He was genuinely interested in talking to me and my buddy. We did not even talk about guitar much at all. We talked about our lives and baseball and just general stuff about life. I could totally see him just hanging out at a bar shooting the breeze with anyone. Although, he is pretty big and I am sure can do some damage.GUITARIDOL5682 wrote:Cheers for that Zakk story Zakk!! I've always thought that he was a cool guy and don't believe that hard exterior for one minute underneath him is a good man..
