BLACK LABEL SOCIETY: NEW LABEL, SAME TUNE?

 Monday, January 11th, 2010 at 9:56am by

ZakkmenschRumor no more. The speculation that E1 Records has signed Black Label Society was put to rest Friday evening by Noisecreep in a post so official that it even has a quote from the label!

As Axl observed last week, E1′s been gobbling up established metal bands like Burger Conquest‘s Rev gobbles up delicious bun-encased meat patties so it seems like a good match on paper. What remains in question is whether Zakk Wylde will continue to shit out stock BLS riffs and repackage them as new albums or whether he’ll actually try something different this time around. If ever there were a time for Wylde to change it up a bit I’d think now would be that time; having recently been shit-canned from Ozzy’s band, Wylde’s gotta have a whole lot of pent up aggression (and riffs) and could be feeling a bit restless, musically speaking.

Though Wylde’s output for both BLS and Ozzy has been shoddy lately, we’re still massive fans of the man and would love to see his incredible talent shine once agan. We’ll find out when the new BLS record drops on E1, tentatively this coming summer.

    *insert’s generic Riotact666 comment*

    – Good for him.
    – Best of luck.
    – Can’t wait for the new album
    – First day buyer.
    – Sounds cool.
    – Hope for the best.
    – He deserves it.
    – any combination of the above for an ultra positive yet souless comment.

    • Slaughterhouse

      Are we on blabbermouth???

  • SomeKid

    I’m the only person that thinks that guitar is hideous.

    • KilledByDeath

      I believe there are others. Not me though.

    Guy #1 said it all…..or did he?

      No, I’m sure there is a million more ultra-positive soulless comments that can be made with those few examples. But seeing I am not the ultra positive soulless type like Riotact666 I can’t think of all of them. But I will say the champion of all Riotact666 comments;

      “Good for them. The new album will be released, sell millions of records and make the haters cry” – Rioatact666′s commenting on Limp Bizkit’s new album

      Even though that has nothing to absolutely do with Zakk Wylde(other than the fact Zakk wants to prove how much of a hardcore biker he is by getting into a fight with Fred Durst)….it just goes to show how distorted that individual’s thinking process is.

      As far as my own comment of Zakk…I don’t have high hopes for whatever he does and I am mostly right about this feeling.

      • raymond s

        i think ur a little distorted urslf sean.

  • http://thenumberoftheblog.wordpress.com/ groverXIII

    I’m sure that his new album will be completely fresh and original.

    • http://www.facebook.com/people/Sean-Wright/1365416981 Sean Wright

      That was even more ultra-positive and more devoid of anything resembling humanity than anything Riotact666 could have said…..what drugs are you taking?

        Originally I had place the words “pinch harmonics” throughout my post, but I used html brackets by accident and they disappeared.

  • Rock Johnson

    Please tell me who out there is a better guitarist? Please dont even tell me Yngwie.

    • dan

      there are many guitarists out there that are better than zak. alexi from children of bodom for one

      • http://www.facebook.com/people/Sean-Wright/1365416981 Sean Wright

        You’ve got to be joking.

      • Hammer_Smashed_Hurtt

        I beg to differ, Zakk has the same if not better Classical chops as Alexi, but becuase he didnt want to be a “Randy” clone he doesnt embellish them. I do believe at the top of his game Zakk would SMOKE Alexi.

      • raymond s

        r u serious dan?he is a great guitarist but he has no heart.mindless chops dont make u a great player.perfect xample.dragon force.1 solo is all u need 2 hear.its amaizing but who the fuck cares.

    • Tonberry

      I’m not a big Zakk fann, but I will say that he is probably one of the more tasteful shredders out there. It’s just that that southern rock flavor he brings doesn’t do it for me(strange, since Dimebag was the first guitarist that I ever really admired as a kid). I’d say Paul Gilbert is better, but that’s probably more of a preference thing.

      • Tonberry

        Also, “Zakk fann” *facepalm*

        • Dwarfskeet

          JEFF FUCKING LOOMIS!!!

          • Hammer_Smashed_Hurtt (AKA: Dallas Coyle’s Juicy Curl))

            Jeff Waters>>OWN

          • raymond s

            thats even worse than dans reply.come on u got 2 come better than that.

  • gnarlk

    i wonder how being pissed off at ozzy will change the tone of his pinch harmonics…

    • gibberish

    After the recent output of the man, it’s hard for me to imagine that the new BLS will be worthwhile… Here’s to hoping though!

    +1 for Burger Conquest… Just took Rev’s advice on a place this weekend – KICK ASS burger and sweet potato fries from Father’s Office.

  • Factor

    Zakk is playing the Iridium Jazz Club on the 25th!

  • i think

    his cover of suicide note part 1 was great…

  • raymond s
