ZAKK WYLDE: No American Should Speak Out Against Our President During A Time Of War

May 8, 2003

OZZY OSBOURNE/BLACK LABEL SOCIETY guitarist Zakk Wylde says that he feels no sympathy for any celebrities crying the blues about being boycotted after they publicly spoke out against the president and the war in Iraq.

"You know what, bro, that's fucked up," Wylde told Pitriff.com in a recent interview. "I mean, you don't talk out against our government. I can't stand these fuckers that complain about our government. I mean, if you don't like it so much, move the fuck out. I know they don't mind taking American money. It's pathetic to me."

When asked if he thinks that THE DIXIE CHICKS are getting a raw deal since people won't buy their records now, Zakk said, "Where was I at when they made the rule that said that everyone had to buy your shit even if you sound like a cunt? I missed that declaration. You don't speak out against our president during a time of war. You just don't do that. Whether you agree or not, leave it alone. You're a singer, and your goddamn songs have nothing to do with the state of our government or the country's affairs. I hate people that say that it's their right to speak out, and then complain when people don't like what they say. Say that to me, and you might have to use your freedom of speech to tell the surgeon to put your teeth back in your mouth. (laughing)"
