ZAKK WYLDE Misses Hard Rock Café's Boston Opening After Getting Into 'Huge Bar Fight'

August 14, 2007

According to a press release issued by Hard Rock International's publicist, Renita D. Reichard of Coyne PR, STAIND frontman Aaron Lewis headlined Hard Rock Café Boston's grand opening party on Tuesday, August 7 with a very unique acoustic performance. Only scheduled to play 45 minutes, Lewis continued for more than one and a half hours, appearing to have no set song list. Fans who expected to hear STAIND hits such as "It's Been A While" were pleasantly surprised by Lewis' random selection of songs. Lewis began performing his own acoustic versions of classics, such as SKID ROW's "I Remember You", JOHN LENNON's "Imagine" and even broke into "Rainbow Connection", sung by Kermit the Frog in "The Muppet Movie" from 1979!

Meanwhile, Zakk Wylde, guitarist for Ozzy Osbourne's band and BLACK LABEL SOCIETY, was scheduled to be a main part of Hard Rock Café Boston's grand opening, as he was supposed to donate a guitar to become an addition to Hard Rock's memorabilia collection, walk the red carpet, do some interviews, etc. Fans and media waited for hours to speak with Zakk. Halfway through the red carpet arrivals, Zakk called to say that he would not be attending the opening. Reason? He went to a bar in Boston, got absolutely hammered and got into a huge bar fight!
