One day my wife went and saw the accountant and said she’s pulling the plug. She said you guys are done. I said, how bad can it be? 10 grand? She said you’re not even close. It came out to almost $50,000 in alcohol for two months. Zakk Wylde
All my writing, I always do it in the studio, ’cause everything sounds good. The piano’s there, the keyboards; if you want to put strings on something… And everything sounds good when it’s in the cans; it sounds killer. Zakk Wylde
I had throat surgery. We had to check that out and make sure it wasn’t cancerous. I had a polyp on my vocal cord, so I had that taken out. Zakk Wylde

If I sit down with an electric guitar, what’s going to come out are Sabbath/Zeppelin type riffs, but if I’m sitting behind a piano late at night, I might write something like ‘Desperado.’ You’re not going to write ‘Desperado’ between a wall of Marshalls and thumping, crushing volume. Zakk Wylde
Back when I was jamming with Axl and the guys they had boxes of cassettes with song ideas. How do you know which ones you like now when you have that many ideas. Zakk Wylde
You had better love the music… because sometimes the music doesn’t love you. Zakk Wylde
Without a doubt, even when I play with Black Label, when we have different guys I play with, everyone always brings their own magic, their own flavor to the soup, hands down. Zakk Wylde

The way I look at it you can always get better. Zakk Wylde
I screwed my knee up once because I fell off the stage. Zakk Wylde
Another Black Label motto. That’s what I think life is. It’s just another bridge to cross. You ask no questions. Whatever work it is you gotta do, you gotta go over it, under it, through it, around it, to do it. Zakk Wylde
For me, the music dictates the melody. Give me a riff to sing over, you know? Zakk Wylde

On the tour we get a case of beer on the bus every day from Ozzfest. Zakk Wylde
I don’t think it’s ever changed, whether its Frank Sinatra, Glenn Miller, Zeppelin, Guns n’ Roses or anyone today, the reason why you get into music is because you love it, and if you’re good at it, that’s a plus. Zakk Wylde
If you bleed Black Label and you’re going to be a man, you gotta get up there and do what you gotta do every day, relentless and as tired as you can be. Zakk Wylde
Around my house, I won’t even speak to my family unless they first address me by my official Berzerker name, Godred Crovan, Victor of Sky-Hill and Ruler of Man and the Isles. And now that I think of it, that’s probably why nobody speaks to me unless it’s time to feed the dogs or take out the garbage. Zakk Wylde
Since day one my thing has always been to play the music. Zakk Wylde
We were sitting on the bus one day and there were 5 of us hanging out. There was only one beer left in the cooler and we actually all took a little cup and split it. It was a pathetic day in a rock and roll when five grown men have to be sitting there sharing a beer. Zakk Wylde

I’m just worried that there’s enough beer on the bus. That’s the top priority at all times. Zakk Wylde
With Nine Inch Nails, it’s all Trent Reznor. So when we get a new record from Nine Inch Nails, it depends on what side of the bed Trent’s waking up on and what he’s been eating lately and what he’s been into. Because he’s preparing the whole meal. Zakk Wylde
Any guy that’s not working with the same amount of intensity and passion that I do, I don’t want to know. Zakk Wylde
