Black Label Society’s Zakk Wylde Partners With Death Wish Coffee For “Valhalla Java Odinforce Blend”

Posted by caemanamelio on

Zakk Wylde (Black Label Society, Ozzy Osbourne) has partnered with Death Wish Coffee to create his own coffee called “Valhalla Java Odinforce Blend.” You can purchase some for yourself at deathwishcoffee.com. Here’s a description of the beverage:

“Meet the Valhalla Java Odinforce blend—coffee made to power the world’s most powerful guitarist, Zakk Wylde. Worthy of the gods, these beans were forged from the volcanic soils of Indonesia and nutrient-rich soils of Central and South America. Crafted for boldness and maximum flavor, this blend is strong enough to wake the dead and chariot them gloriously through the gates of Valhalla.”

Zakk Wylde Says He Is Still Open To Doing A Pantera Tribute Tour With Phil Anselmo & Rex Brown

Posted by caemanamelio on

Prior to Vinnie Paul’s tragic death, there was some talk about the possibility of doing a Pantera tribute tour with Zakk Wylde (Ozzy Osbourne, Black Label Society, etc.) filling in for the late Dimebag Darrell. Now, during a recent interview on The Cassius Morris Show, Wylde said he is still open to the possibility of doing something with surviving Pantera members Phil Anselmo and Rex Brown.

Wylde said the following:

“When Saint Vinnie was still around, they were talking about it then. I mean, the way I always looked at it is it’s a Pantera celebration and an honor. I mean, every night I’m playing with Ozz, we honor Saint Rhoads. I’m playing the Randy stuff every night, and I’m blessed and it’s an honor to do it. Basically, we’re paying tribute to Randy every night — keeping his music alive.

If we got together and we ended up doing it, it would be like… I just look at it like if Eric Clapton went out and was with Mitch and Noel and singing and playing Jimi’s songs, and he’s honoring Jimi, ’cause that was his buddy.

No one’s replacing anybody. No one’s replacing Randy Rhoads — he was a one-off. Just like no one’s replacing Jimi Hendrix and no one’s replacing Dime or Vinnie.

If Zeppelin was going out, and if Jason’s playing drums, no one’s replacing his father. What they’re doing is celebrating his father’s greatness and what he achieved and all the mountains he conquered with Zeppelin.

It’s more of a tribute and a celebration than it is… You can’t replace any of these people I’m talking about — they’re all legendary guys. But, yeah, you’re just celebrating all their achievements — that’s all.”

Ozzy Osbourne & Zakk Wylde Reportedly Help Man Whose CD Collection Was Stolen

Posted by caemanamelio on

According to CBC News, Ozzy Osbourne and his guitarist Zakk Wylde helped out a Canadian man named Josh Cook, who had his CD collection stolen from his car. While Cook was making a pizza delivery, he heard someone speed off with his car, and after he found it, he discovered that his CDs were all gone, except one from Black Label Society. Wylde’s son apparently heard what happened and a few days later Cook received a box of Black Label Society CDs and merch, followed by another box full of Ozzy Osbourne’s full discography (solo and Black Sabbath), merch, and a signed photo. Cook was thankful for the gifts saying “These guys, they don’t know who I am, but they set me up with all this stuff. It’s amazing.”
