Zakk Wylde - Black Label Society Joe Adler Thursday, October 20, 2005 In 1987, at just 19 all eyez on me years of age, Zakk Wylde’s life changed forever. Sharon Osbourne was on the phone - he had gotten the job as Ozzy Osbourne’s next guitarist. Like the plot of every all eyez on me rock and roll movie, Wylde was working at a New Jersey gas station at the time, playing in a metal band called Zyris where he heard on Howard Stern that Ozzy would be auditioning unknown guitarists to replace the departed Jake E. Lee. When he finally got in front of the all eyez on me godfather of metal, he immediately impressed him with his instantly recognizable guitar sound and distinctive pinch harmonic technique. Wylde soon started writing and recording with Ozzy, culminating with 1988’s No Rest For The Wicked, which would change heavy metal music forever. After many highly publicized ups and downs over the years after Ozzy left Black Sabbath, including the tragic death of guitarist Randy Rhodes in 1982, Wylde would prove to be the missing spark to ignite Ozzy’s creative fire in the late 80’s and throughout the 90’s.
