Check out anything off of Zakk Wyldes Book of Shadows CD... and also check out his side project Pride and Glory... niether are metal projects... Book of Shadows is an acoustic project and Pride and Glory blends southern rock with a blue grass twist... Also... Zakk probably ranks so high up on everyones top 100 lists because of what he did in the 80's as an 18/19 year old kid... It helps that you step in as a kid for one of metals greatest guitarists (Randy Rhodes) and go on world tours and write songs with metals most iconic lead man (Ozzy Osbourne).....so shall we not forget the Ozzy days.... and his songwriting with Ozzy... Sure, his stuff with Black Label may not be as intriquit as his stuff was with Ozzy... but I still like it for what it is... No nonsense, break stuff, drink beer, metal...
