PG’s John Bohlinger hung with Zakk Wylde before soundcheck during the Nashville stop of the Generation Axe tour. Wylde, an intimidating muscle-bound shred monster turned out to be perhaps the nicest guy on the planet, is a renaissance man, and a titian of industry. Zakk humbly took us through his rig full of newly-launched Wylde Audio wares.
The guitars Wylde tours with are the same off-the-shelf models that are available through Wylde Audio. Typically, the Black Label Society frontman hangs on to one axe through an entire set and on this particular night this Warhammer model got the call. It features a mahogany body, maple neck, ebony fretboard, Floyd Rose tremolo, and a set of Wylde’s signature EMG pickups.
Wylde also plays this Wylde Audio Viking V. It has nearly identical specs as the Warhammer, but with a pinstripe finish.

Zakk always seems like a chill dude, but i think he's also slightly insane.
-
He says his heros, not influences, true respect.
-
Zakk is a cool guy. I waited outside his show in Portland ME for 7 hours before they even got there and I was underage and couldnt even get in. So he brought me on his bus, let me play his guitars and snuck me passed the bouncers to watch the show. I'll never forget how the band went out of their way for an underage fan who just wanted to meet them.
-
Zakk Wylde is a beast on the guitar . His range of playing is huge. From hard rock to country to metal to ballads he can adapt to anything that's real musician
-
You gotta love John, he just lays back and lets the artist speak without any interruptions.
-
Zakk's real rig: Cool beard -check Cool leather wrist band -check Pinch harmonics of doom every other note --double check.
-
It's funny how he calls them fiddles. I would expect him to call them axes considering he's going with the whole viking thing.
-
What a real gentleman Zakk is and has fun in the music business as well and praises people that have helped him in his career.
-
One of the coolest guys in metal, PERIOD.
-
@11:05 "roll it all the way up and what you don't like, dial it back" - PERFECT way to setup an amp, elegant and simple solution
-
Zakk will go down in history as one of the best, No more tears lead break is so intense and not due to complexity but the Feel and the tone he projects into the guitar is insane. BLS is overlooked to a degree and it shouldn't be.
-
I've been a fan of his playing for a long time, but I think this is the first time I've seen him as a regular dude. So cool and down to earth.
-
I didn't know Ace Ventura was so into guitars.
-
I think that Jeter reference went right over John’s head lmao
-
Miracle man hands down one of the best songs with zakk 🤘🏻
-
11:08 Best advice for dialing in your sound! "Turn everything up, and whatever is jumping out at you that you don't like, you dial it back"
-
Zakk is the opposite to a critical snob. Love it
-
Speaking as someone who has also interviewed Zakk - John, I feel your pain here - he's hard to react to! What an utter legend though!
-
hes obviously a great player and a really interesting, friendly guy. but holy shit he rambles and rambles without actually answering any questions.
