ZAKK WYLDE: 'I Don't Give A F**k About Being Famous'

Glam-Metal.com recently conducted an interview with BLACK LABEL SOCIETY mainman/OZZY OSBOURNE guitarist Zakk Wylde. A couple of excerpts from the chat follow:

Glam-Metal.com: The next Ozzy record, what were your contributions?

Zakk: I wrote all the songs with Ozzy and everything like that, and Mike Borden, and Blasko threw down on the bass. So, everything's cool. Kevin Churko worked with Mutt Lange and Kevin did an amazing job, and he's a BLACK LABEL guy, a beautiful guy, and Ozzy's singing his ass off. They're mastering it right now. Ozzy was like, "'No More Tears'… blah, blah, blah." I was like "Fuck 'No More Tears', Oz, come on, man, the last couple records we put out are all fuckin shit. It's gotta be slammin', Oz! I mean what's the fuckin' point of showin' up?

Glam-Metal.com: It's good that you're there to keep him on track and be up front & honest with him.

Zakk: I DON'T GIVE A FUCK about bein' famous! FUCK IT! If it sucks… IT SUCKS, I mean I'm not playing to go 7 to 9. I want the fuckin' ring! I wanna win the fuckin'superbowl. I'm not doing tour dates, liftin' weights and doin all this shit to come in second place. No one remembers who came in second place. FUCK THAT. We're the the fuckin' OZZY OSBOURNE band. Now lets go kick some mother fuckin' ass and go home and get this shit done with I wanna get a blowjob from the wife, alright? So that's it.

Glam-Metal.com: Well, speaking about number one, I'm almost afraid to ask this, as you are so upset, do you even give a shit about being voted sexiest rock dude in Revolver magazine's 2007 readers poll?

Zakk: Nah, I thought that was that greatest! After all these years, this is the gayest! This is the gayest. I've been out on the road, I haven't showered for fuckin' 77 days, I haven't brushed my teeth in 77 days…NUTHIN'! No shower, no teeth brushin', NUTHIN! Doin the shows, right? And here I am… sexiest fucker alive! (laughter from all) Now we know what the chicks really dig.

Glam-Metal.com: Would you ever entertain the idea of posing for Playgirl?

Zakk: NO. What I wanna do, is me being on "Dancin'with the Stars"! Zakk Wylde and all the BLACK LABEL brothers be on "Dancin' with The Stars". We have no business bein' on there, THAT would some fuckin' comedy right there brother. Fuckin' hell!

Glam-Metal.com: Give us your thoughts on the upcoming "VH1 Rock Honors", which kind of gives credit to those bands who should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but aren't. VH1 is taking it upon themselves to give Ozzy, and other bands, something that should've been given a long time ago.

Zakk: Ozzy's the same way as me, that's why we're the gruesome twosome, two peas in a pod. He doesn't give a FUCK about any of this shit. Sharon sits us down, Mom sits us down, we're all there in the living room, me, my wife BarbaraAnn, Oz, and Sharon. Sharon goes, "Okay, alright right boys, let's get serious for a second. Now listen, you gotta be getting ready to go, we're going to Russia." (Zakk, in his best Ozzy imitation, pretends to be a stunned Ozzy and belts out… "When are we going to Russia?" Why didn't anyone tell me this? Whaddya mean we're going to Russia?" Then Ozzy looks at me and says, "What the fuck is going on here?" Like no one tells him what the fuck…like he just ends up there. He goes to me, "Zakk, are you ready?" and I go, I'm always ready man, now let's get this fuckin' thing over with! (Zakk breaks into air guitar with sound effects mode here). It's a riot, you can't make this shit up, ya know what I'm sayin?

Glam-Metal.com: Playing the National Anthem at Shea Stadium, what was that like for you and how did that come about?

Zakk: I played it at Madison Square Garden too. It was awesome. I always dreamed about playin' there. I did it at the Staples center for the Kings game and at Dodgers stadium. I always loved playin' it and we play it every night on stage too, gotta take care of the troops, ya know what I'm sayin?
