Zakk Wylde Now the Idol
. "I told [bassist] J.D. [John DeServio] and the other guys in the band, 'You know, I'm also known as Icon; they use the word 'legendary' around me. I guess now we can just throw 'Idol' in there," Wylde said, with tongue planted firmly in cheek. "J.D.'s like, 'Dude, I'm not going to puke, I'm going to go hang myself.' So I'll definitely get some mileage out of this." Wylde went on to provide details about the forthcoming Black Label Society album, The Song Remains Not the Same, which features acoustic versions of songs from the band's 2010 disc, Order of the Black. "We had a whole bunch of tunes on the album, and we just started reworking them," Wylde said. "Something like 'Parade of the Dead'� I kept the melody but changed it around a little bit. Now we've got an acoustic version. That's the reason we ended up calling it The Song Remains Not the Same. It's actually the same songs, but the only thing they have in common with the heavy versions are the lyrics. In some of them, we even changed the melodies." more on this story Gibson.com is an official news provider for the Day in Rock. Preview and Purchase Zakk Wylde CDs |
