full Zakk Wylde interview here.
his gear:

you're almost there blacktrix.... just the amp and 3 more pedals

lol

He will say he uses Kotex if he gets paid enough

ah i finally found a use for this old crappy neck i have lying around.
gonna use it to practice levelling and recrowning, since tham wont be free for next 2 weeks to work on my guitars.

I had that but didn't listen to it because the whole recording sounds weird, fade ins & outs here and there... but the jam wasn't too bad as far as I could remember.

Though, the Albert King and Stevie studio jam was way better...

Wow, didn't know he's also a fan of the Allman Brothers.

Fan??? He was PLAYING for the Allman Brothers!!!!

i think you got a different one? but the tracks dont segue into one another smoothly.
the one i have has 8 tracks, 1 of them has BB introducing paul butterfield, hendrix and he forgot the rest cos he was drunk.
2 songs, and 5 tracks called blues jam #1, #2, #3...pt1, pt2 etc.
a total of almost 1h15m, and sounds pretty ok, almost like a soundboard recording.

I'm from buntong jaya... in ipoh that is...
but now i'm in puchong, selangor.
I'm no pro ler! lol...

i got nothing to say...
its just like discovering that Blacktrix is a Hilary Duff fan.
so contradicting.. haha

Why so surprising about Elton John??? Don't forget..... back in the days.... he wrote some GREAT rock tunes.

blacktrix is always backing up ANY thing that Zakk is saying

My sister asked me to play guitar in a church for her wedding. My other sister and I are gonna play an acoustic version of "somewhere over the rainbow / what a wonderful world" (norah jones version), She'll be singing, I'll be playing

Is a folk guitar (steel string) is loud enough to be heard in a mid-sized church full of people ? Or shall I plan to amplify it (it's electro-acoustic) ? So many of you guys go to church, you must have an idea

By the way, this Norah Jones song is really great. The guitar is very simplistic, but the voice is totally stratospheric ! And the best part is when the bass kicks in in the middle of the song : the way it is played is fantastic. Very modern rock style, a bit "red hot chili peppers" on the edge !

Do you know other version of this song ? (except the "Israel" guy's one ?)

well your sis will be using a mic right?
so its best you amplify your guitar too.
whoevers in charge will be able to balance the sound.

yeah, that's right. Said like this, it's obvious she should go through the speaker mic, so on my side i have to find a cable to connect the guitar to the PA system.. i hope it's possible.

Yup it's the same one. There are a few fade outs here and there, doesn't seem to go well with each other.
Anyway that 'BB King' doesn't sound like him at all, maybe he really that drunk lol.

Err... You can't deny that Elton John is a talented musician/songwriter.

Wow, great song choice. Since it's wedding, it's gonna be recorded right?

Anyway if you have an acoustic amplifier, you can go plugged in and then mike up the guitar... I think it would sound huge this way, but I never tried it before. If no amp, then just mike it uplar, you have nothing to lose.

Damn, I'm a Norah Jones fan but I never heard of the song... where did you get it?
I've heard of Eva Cassidy's Over The Rainbow, which is just beautiful... just acoustic and her powerful voice, I think you'ill love it.

wonder when will zakk cover over the rainbow.

With his Ozzy-like voice??? My ears will bleed.

Well... there is the Me First And The Gimmie Gimmie's version of Somewhere Over the Rainbow......

But to me, I would prefer to play Rainbow Connection..... that's just me....

And if it's for a Church (or worse, a Cathedreal), the acoustics in it is going to suck. Lots of echo and reverb everywhere. No matter what guitar you use, if it ain't miked/amped, there's no way you're going to be heard. And even if you do amp/mike it..... like I said, beware of the reverb.

Somewhere over the Rainbow? Cool!
shouldn't the church already have a PA system? all the churches i go to have PA system already set up, and just plug it in lor. If worse comes to worse, just use a mike!

don worrie lar - in my experience, most of the focus would be on the vocalist, and only guitarists will watch the guitarist. haha - unless u make a mistake!
choi choi

i have this punk cover of it, done by NewFound Glory if i'm not mistaken. but definitely not suitable for weddings, (traditional weddings, anyway) my wedding will have metal tunes.. haha
