I made a grocery list. Cross that off the list. The guitarist had also noticed a tendency for rock and metal players to play more modally and decided that a more direct-sounding pentatonic attack could, as well as helping him stand out, force him to become more inventive.
It forces you to come up with something, when you are working with less. The opening track on No More Tears, Mr. Tinkertrain, has a monster riff using open power chords while pulling off the minor third on the sixth string….
As for the intro part, that reminds me of The Who. So that song had those flavourings in the soup. And those influences came from our love of those bands. Later we ended up winning a Grammy with that song! I remember when the man riff came about.
We were doing that riff and cracking up laughing the whole time. Later we ended up winning a Grammy with that song laughs. A post shared by Zakk Wylde zakkwyldebls.
Whether your thirds are minor or major can play a big part in the overall sound. Then I started using open A and E position power chords, which kinda reminded me of a Van Halen or Judas Priest kinda thing — putting those chords over a second fret F position riff. Some of the tracks we just discussed were among Lemmy co-writes. Did you work with him at any point or was that all down later down the line? Cause with Black Label and my love for the military and my dad being a World War 2 vet, so obviously if we were traveling by plane that would be Air Force and when we're on water and taking a boat, it's the Navy and obviously in the tour bus, cause it's a tube like a submarine, so it's the Black Label Nuclear Sub.
The Warden - "The Warden would have to be the immortal beloved … let's put it this way, with me and the Boss Ozzy Osbourne and the guys back in the day, we had names for all our wives and girlfriends. So I had the warden, some of the other guys had the governor, the sentinel, the first power. It's time to make the donuts and it's time to get your ass in gear and go to work.
Father - "You know when we had the 'Order of the Black' … it's what is the order? What is the Black Label order? It's a religion and yes we're all confused and nobody knows what's going on and everyone seems to be happy. I think at the core is who you are. What got you there is hard work and practice. One of your first Ozzy gigs was at Wormwood Scrubs in London. Nothing like a prison gig to learn on the job, eh?
That was one of the high points of my career. What was that time like in the studio? It was a blast and we had nothing but fun. With Miracle Man, I played something and Ozzy got me to keep playing it while he came up with the melody.
Your Pride And Glory album turned 25 last year. How important was it for you to make that particular record? When we played Monsters Of Rock in , it was amazing. Playing Donington with The Boss was a big deal for me. What was it like playing with Axl Rose? I kept running into them at [famous dive bar] The Rainbow. Axl asked me to come down for a jam, and we had a lot of laughs. He shreds. How did that feel? Joe crushed it. There was no big fight or whatever. A few years later, you formed Black Label Society.
How did that come about? It all came out of that. Black Label Society have been really prolific in the last two decades. What stands out as a personal highlight for you? Playing the Royal Albert Hall in London was definitely an honour.
