these guys kick major ass, what u all think?

[memnoch]

I don't like em. Zack can't sing.

[holding fears]

I like them, eventhough Mr. Wylde's voice is annoying as hell (AT TIMES), sometimes it's kick ass.

[far_beyond_sane]

WHAT is the fucking issue with Zakk Wylde's voice?? It's just... him, it doesn't annoy me at all. I fucking dig this stuff only I don't have the new(ish) album yet, merde...

[Machinegunman]

zakk wylde is the best guitarplayer ever. if you dont like his voice nowadays you should listen to pride and glory, book of shadows and sonic brew. i think p&g and bos is the best hes done so far. but i have to say that i miss the the atmosphere and feeling on the new album and the drumsound fucking sucks.

[Disciple]

BLS rules.Nothing wrong with his voice.He's a better singer than 76% of the deathmetal guys.

[Nemo]

That's because 76% of the deathmetal guys can't sing. They can scream, but does it sound good? Most of the time, no.

[Father Death]

BLS is good. Zakk singing is fine. Book of Shadows by Zakk is cool...the only thing i don't like much is that the bass is distorted...i don't know if thats on every album, but its on the one i have...Sonic Brew i believe

You might think so, but i don't. Just shows how people are different.

[OpethRules]

I first got "1919 eternal" and the day after i got that, I owned all his albums. my favorite songs are "life birth blood doom" and "demise of sanity". His stuff on Stronger than death is awesome too. Has anyone heard his and slash's version of voodoo child? Awesome stuff.

Yeah, that is quite annoying. I think that album was recorded badly too, but the rest of their stuff rocks!

[TheFamilyCrow]

I'm a Society Dweller. My favorites songs are "Counterfeit God" and "Born To Lose."

Sweet! I cant wait to see them live at ozzfest, gonna be fuckin' awesome.:beer:

[OpethRules]

No more society dwellers on metaltabs? There has to be more, BLS rules!

[OpethRules]

I've changed my mind about the album "sonic brew" I think it fucking owns now. I can listen to all the songs without flipping, and there is so much emotion in the album.

[slayme_returns]

I had the same reaction to Sonic Brew at first, I thought it wasn't nearly as heavy as Stronger than Death which I had heard first. I also thought the bass was a bit annoying but now its my favorite of the three studio albums.

I know they just released 1919 eternal a little while ago, but come on zakk, we need more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Us society Dwellers cant wait for the new material!

[Tattered]

Yeah his voice maybe isnt that good, but he sure can do some awesome solos

[OpethRules]

I like his voice, but it is different. but yeah its true, his solos are awesome.

[slayme_returns]

[mrweijia]

i heard ozzy sings for stillborn

[slayme_returns]

Eh, if he does he does. I can't get excited about the Ozzman anymore.

[OpethRules]

I'm looking foward to both the ozzy and Zakk album.

[slayme_returns]

Yeah, the only reason I'm looking forward to the new Ozzy record is for Zakk. Other than that, Ozzy can go fuck himself.

[Clad in Shadows]

"Stoned and Drunk" ?? That's one of the dumbest titles I've heard

Anyways, I've never listened to BLS.. maybe I'll download some tonight if I'm bored... any suggestions?

[slayme_returns]

13 years of Grief
Love Reign Down
Born To Lose
Beneath the Tree
Superterrorizer
Hey You(Batch of Lies)
Low Down
Demise of Sanity

[far_beyond_sane]

Damn man, u beat me to it! Along with those good suggestions I reccomend:

Life Birth Blood Doom
Bleed For Me
Battering Ram
Phoney smiles and fake hellos
Rust
Mother mary
No More Tears (BLS's version)

[mrweijia]

speedball
refuse to bow down
counterfeit god
demise of sanity
beneath the tree

[vileangelofdeth]

there is this one acoustic song by Zakk called "Spoke in the wheel" where he shreds this crazy fast pentatonic riff on an acoustic. thats really the only BLS song i like, all thier metal stuff falls short on the brutality.

[mrweijia]

he also plays like that on "speedball"

[slayme_returns]

Um, I don't usually expect much from BLS cover art, but this is a bit plain. No, actually it's really fucking plain. http://www.zakkwylde.com/mainpage/bhr.jpg

Oh well, I'm sure the music will rock balls.

[OpethRules]

I'm not really into cover art anyway.....

[slayme_returns]

Here's my way of lookin at it though. In my opinion, 1919 Eternal was a sub-par BLS record, Zakk seems to have slipped into a formula on that album. The cover art for Eternal was also fairly boring. It also hasn't been that long since Zakk cranked out the Eternal record, I just don't want this one to sound rushed because it definately "looks" rushed.

Ozzy was quoted for saying "If Zakk's new record isnt a hit, I dunno what is!". I know he has to hype it up because it's his right hand man's band....but I'm just being optimistic.

[slayme_returns]

I'm all for Zakk's new record to kick huge ass, but that has nothing to do with anything Ozzy has said or will say in the future. I ain't tryin to be negative, I just hope Zakk steps it up on this album.

[slayme_returns]

The shitheads over at the BLS.net boards were tryin to hide this link, heh. Fuckers.

Here ya go, radio recorded version of BLS's new song Stillborn


http://www.zianet.com/guitarist/Extra%20shit/stillborn.mp3


By the way, I've only heard it once so far so it's still sinking in. It's definately different.

Yep heard it 2 days ago, I like it.....but it's definitley different from what I expected.

[slayme_returns]

You heard it two days ago? I hope it was on the radio, because if you knew about that link and didn't post it I"m gonna kick you in the nuts.

Yeah it was on 100.5 the fox.

I wouldn't hold out.:D

[DELETE79]

I BOUGHT "ALCOHOL FUELED BREWTALITY" (LIVE ALBUM) LAST WEEK. BEFORE THAT I'VE ONLY HEARD A COUPLE OF SONG LIKE SUPERTERRORIZER, BATTERING RAM (REALLY DIG THIS SONG), BORED TO TEARS, COUNTERFEIT GOD
THAT GUY IS DEFINATELY A DRUNKEN GUITAR GOD.
ABOUT HIS VOICE I THINK HE'S NOT A BAD SINGER HIS VOICE'S JUST OK NOTHING
AMAZING NEITHER ANNOYING.

SOME OF YOU MENTIONED THE SONG "BORN TO LOSE"
ON MY ALBUM THERE'S ONE CALLED "BORN TO BOOZE" IS IT THE SAME SONG?

[slayme_returns]

You can hear a clip of new BLS song "Stoned and Drunk" here

http://www.spitfirerecords.com/ZakkPreviews/Zakk-Preview.htm


They're featuring a new song every week until the album drops.

[OpethRules]

Sounds pretty cool.

[slayme_returns]

The clip for "The Blessed Hellride"(the title track)is up on Zakk's preview page. Nice and mellow and bluesy. Great drinking song it sounds like.

http://www.spitfirerecords.com/ZakkPreviews/Zakk-Preview.htm

[Benny]

He sounds like a big fuckin redneck on The Blessed Hellride but it still sounds good.
I have (pretty much) every Black Label Society album. They are a great band.
I can't wait for the new album.

[OpethRules]

Welp guys, the album has leaked. I got it this morning and I must say, it's damn good. It kills 1919 eternal by a long shot.......and I'm starting to like it better than sonic brew. Go Zakk!:beer:

[slayme_returns]

Where you been Opeth, I've had the album on the FTP since 5 days ago, hehe. Yeah man, this album is slammin'. Kicks the shit out of 1919 by far.
