Zakk Wylde Joins James Durbin On American Idol

04/14/2011
. (Rock AAA) After a very heartfelt and respectful reading of The Beatles classic "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" on last week's American Idol, James Durbin brought the power back on this week's show � in more ways than one.

Joining Durbin for a energetic version of Sammy Hagar's "Heavy Metal" was legendary guitarist Zakk Wylde � ex-Ozzy Osbourne player and leader of Black Label Society.

As the final performers on movie soundtracks night, Wylde and Durbin tore up the stage with a spirited effort, despite pre-show warnings from Idol mentor Jimmy Iovine, who tried to convince James to change his song selection. "You gotta be careful this week," said Iovine. "That ain't being careful."
