ZAKK WYLDE's 'Rock & Roll Roast' To Be Broadcast On OZZY OSBOURNE's SiriusXM Channel

February 10, 2012

Guitar World magazine's first-ever Rock & Roll Roast with inaugural honoree Zakk Wylde will be broadcast in its entirety (audio only) on Ozzy Osbourne's new SiriusXM channel, Ozzy's Boneyard, channel 38. Here are the air times:

* Saturday, February 11 at 6 p.m. ET / 3 p.m. PT
* Monday, February 13 at 11 a.m. ET / 8 a.m. PT
* Friday, February 17 at 5 p.m. ET / 2 p.m. PT

Rock & Roll Roast took place on January 19 at The Grove in Anaheim, California; a portion of all proceeds went to the MusiCares charity. Zakk Wylde was recently named one of the 100 greatest living rock stars by Revolver magazine.

Roastmaster Sharon Osbourne and other metal-loving luminaries such as Ozzy Osbourne, Chris Jericho, ANTHRAX's Scott Ian, SLIPKNOT's Corey Taylor, as well as comedy and roast veterans Jim Norton, Brian Posehn, Jim Florentine and more all took aim at the BLACK LABEL SOCIETY frontman and guitar icon, best known for his incredible axe chops, his golden locks and his signature Bullseye guitar line.

Fan-filmed video footage from the first-ever Rock & Roll Roast can be seen below.

Sample stingers from the night's event follow below.

Comedian Brian Posehn to Chris Jericho: "Comedy is hard, isn't it? Stick to sucking at everything else."

Comedian Jim Norton to Scott Ian: "You look like Ben Kingsley eating a raccoon." [referencing the ANTHRAX guitarist's trademark beard.]

Current OZZY OSBOURNE guitarist Gus G. to Zakk Wylde: "Zakk, I grew up learning all of your riffs and solos. Then I learned how to play real music."

Scott Ian on Zakk Wylde: "Zakk's guitar playing is way less diatonic and way more gin and tonic."

Zakk Wylde on Sharon Osbourne: "There's a lot of faces up here, and Sharon's is probably the newest. I'm kidding, Mom. You don't look a day over artificial."

Zakk Wylde on Scott Ian: "Scott's been playing lots of poker lately, and like ANTHRAX, they can both barely pull a full house."

Zakk Wylde on Corey Taylor: "Corey Taylor was in a TENACIOUS D cover band called PUGNACIOUS P. Now he's in a NICKELBACK cover band called STONE SOUR."

Brian Posehn to Scott Ian: “So you're responsible for LINKIN PARK and LIMP BIZKIT [thanks to ANTHRAX's early collaboration with PUBLIC ENEMY on a remake of 'Bring The Noise']. On behalf of everybody, (screw) you."
