Elton John's stuff from the 70s is timeless! And Zakk knows this! During a 2006 Uranium special, Zakk was talking about the type of music he listens to when out on the road, and after he rocks a stage, he mellows out to Neil Young, Pink Floyd, Elton John & others from that era. Truely shows that music has no boundries!!
Zakk Wylde is hands down one of the best musical talents ever. He for one owns the guitar, nobody comes close, except for Randy Rhoades and Warren Haynes. His music is full of soul and passion. Someone said it well below he has a love and passion for good music.
Yeah you'll for got about Richie Blackmore and a few other guys like Malmsteen and Alex Skolnik Gary Holt And even Gorge Harrison Zack is a Beast but there are a lot of masters before him give them some props and respect
I am fairly new to Zakk, but I say that he is a gem of a virtuoso and a man. For him to not only sing this song and play it on the piano and not guitar, but also to perform it for an audience (perhaps) more familiar with his metallic leanings, is just excellent and daring. A great musican, he loves great music.
Zakk is just great...His piano knowledge surpasses his guitar knowledge, and by hearing with what brilliancy Zakk plays guitar we should all respect him at the piano...you just have to love this man :)))
A talented musician, no doubt about that. I struggle to be adept at just guitar, and he kicks ass on both guitar and piano. He truly has a God-given gift.
I seen Zakk when he was touring the Book of Shadows, he came through Charlotte,N.C. in 1996 at a place called the Sound Factory, its not there anymore. He done this cover for an encore i couldnt believe it. He & Nick signed a poster that i still have. I gave him a $5 bill and Zakk singed and dated 7/18/96 which happenes to be my best friends birthday. I still have the $5 bill in a glass case. Zakk,Dime & Randy are my favorites and always will be.
Zakk knows an incredible amount of people. I feel blessed to have been acquainted with him. Zakk is much more than just a great talent. He is a natural virtuoso and can play many instruments very fluently from the moment he picks it up the first time. Of course when it comes to fretted string instruments, well, he reached the maestro level before he was even 18. That is much younger than it took many of his peers to reach such a level of acuity.
Alright, i'm a metal fan true and blue but Elton John has always been my absolute favorite artist of all time and to hear Zakk playing this is pretty great that metal guys have the respect for EJ...I do agree leaving this to Elton though there are a lot of other great rock songs that would have worked better with Zakk's voice
@gavinpoot My Mom passed away in January of this year, this was the song we agreed to play at her funeral many years ago .. I can't help but cry every time I hear this song now !
@TTTT1975 You are right, I play acoustic guitar in hospitals for cancer patients, people in ICU and other rooms and everyone respons in some way. I sing and play old country, classic rock, new country, lullibys etc. I was a pro years ago and had to retire from auto accidents.
Id say he sounds more like Gregg Allman then Elton John.... Truly talented musicians can play multiple instruments and holy shit can this guy play the piano. His finger dexterity is really good from years of fast shredding.
Awesome-He can play about any instrument and make it sound awesome. Next I want to hear Destruction Overdrive on the ucalayli!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Joel Joel absolutely love Zack, been a fan for 20+ years. But this song didnt need to be 'bad ass'. If would have been fucking killer with just him singing it, not changing the melodies or arrangement or whatever it is he is doing.
I just love this song my son in law hung himself he had so much potential he was only 27 an left a lil 1 yr old baby girl behind an also my beautiful daughter Micheal may u be at peace
@NathanArnoldCharging it would be priceless if he sad he liked justin bieber in a inteview and i would love to see the faces of ever metal head xD (im a metal head aswell)
@OfficerBigJoey ok nevermind I am a dumbass haha. I though this song was written for Princess Diana originally before I googled it and found it to be Marilyn
You have a cover in your eyes???? That can't be healthy! :) Just being a pain! :D Elton John is no doubt a great talent. I still think Zakk's version here is an upgrade from the original. I lost my respect for Elton John when he re-wrote his Marilyn Monroe-song to fit Lady Di! That was unbelievably lame. By doing that, he not only killed the whole purpose, honor and soul of the first "version", but he disrespected the memory of Diana by just re-doing someone elses tribute. L-A-M-E
Zakk is so emotional. He has more balls than any other man on earth. I respect him as an individual more than a musician. Thank you Zakk.

I love and need the words of zakks ballads. His voice calms this savage beast beast b

More like zakk has a great gift from God zakk is a heck of a blues player and singer
Awfully late to the party here in '18...but found it...love it...a true cover...authentic take on it and a great voice- well done!
i saw him play this in 95 or 96ish in a tiny club in seattle, unbelivable solo show.

Is there ANYTHING this man can't sing? This is beautiful.
Anyone who needed this as proof hasn't been paying enough attention. But I second that he's an amazing musician.
Love zakk. Great cover.

La sigo escuchando 2021🤘🏼
Omg this is unbelievable. He is so under rated and does not get enough credit for his talent... Leave out the yeahs and oh yeahs though...lol
I did see this one in concert. The Ranch Bowl, Omaha, NE, 1996. I nearly shit myself when he started playing it.
Bro I just discovered this!🔥☝️👊

amazing!!!!
Applauding
He's got a great voice for this tune.
No, this picture is actually taken from a video at rockwalk, where he actually played "In This River".
In 1975, Elton John, then KISS. To this day.
Elton fazendo feat com quem aparecesse pela frente durante a pandemia, podia fazer um feat com o zakk
Awesome-He can play about any instrument and make it sound awesome.
Next I want to hear Destruction Overdrive on the ucalayli!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*steals a lighter and lights it while waving it in the air* OMG!!! I would love to hear this in a concert! AMAZING!!
I agree
Fuck me! Zakk's voice is the most amaizing voice I've ever heard!!!!!
Awesome! \m/
Zakk is the guy!!!
The man
8 people's candles must be blown out
Hell yeah!!!
He made the song "bad-ass" than it already is (that's a compliment).
Joel Joel absolutely love Zack, been a fan for 20+ years. But this song didnt need to be 'bad ass'. If would have been fucking killer with just him singing it, not changing the melodies or arrangement or whatever it is he is doing.
Well I was thinking I was a fan for 20+, but almost. More like 15 years, but still,......
i love this song but not the audio quality.. AND Zakk is amazing!
Last singer/cover combination I ever expected to see
Just googled a bit and learned that Elton Jphm is one of his life long favorites. I had no idea, never would have guessed
@ForgivenKazuma Sorry, that was supposed to be written in the universally acknowledged "sarcasm font"
❤kiss
Respect
when does he use voice effects?
@noreply45 I think so. He's been doing it for 20 years. Do you like?
Zakk should cover "The Day I Tried To Live" Chris Cornell.... bet he could own it !! 😉
badass\m/
not bad.....
is that Jessie James in the back?
I just love this song my son in law hung himself he had so much potential he was only 27 an left a lil 1 yr old baby girl behind an also my beautiful daughter Micheal may u be at peace
is zakk singing this about Marilyn Monroe? cuz he change some of the lyrics up and im not sure I'm hearing it correctly??
i think if yu give him a violin he might even shred with it this guy can fuckin do everything
Never would've imagined Zakk playing this one... But he did a good job on it... I like some melodies of the singing better than the original...
@richardhamilton250 sorry to hear about your loss. but i must say your mum has good taste in music
Epic Song 🎸🎼🎵,,,,,,,,old school 🤘 opou k nase,,,,,r i p 💉 + file ciao
Can I like this more than once?? lol
yeah I guess you are right
sir elton... dimes rockwalk indocution
@yellowchairreviews he says I would have liked to know you lord, but i was just a kid ;)
you are so right.. leave it to Elton
Now I just want to hear him play a dobro.
I've heard that one... Never heard a Les Paul sound like a Telecaster but he sure can do it.
But still no dobro in that song.
Cool!
Zakk kills Elton John!
I love what he did with this song, but damn the sound quality is shit. I wish he'd record this in the studio and release it.
ha Fred Durnst, funny. Hes the Rossie O'Donald of music
@NathanArnoldCharging it would be priceless if he sad he liked justin bieber in a inteview and i would love to see the faces of ever metal head xD
(im a metal head aswell)
I Think I m going to Fuken cry!!!!!!!!!!!!
you can feel the vibe 4 his drinking mate they may have sang it together drunk as cunts thankyou zak
@phooned That would be hilarious
lol (I literally did laugh out loud when I read this)
I like Zakk's version better than Elton John's.
@OfficerBigJoey ok nevermind I am a dumbass haha. I though this song was written for Princess Diana originally before I googled it and found it to be Marilyn
not in this song. but in suicide massiah or in stillborn (actually, its ozzy singing with him, but i don´t really like it)
Not a bad Elton John cover not bad at all :)
He could snore and it would sound amazing. Haha,
jesus as got your soul come party with metal gods if you can t pick up vibe hit the road talk to satan today he don t like you
that doesn't sound like zakk at the start talkin :/, but vocals does,
That's wierd, it didn't sound like Zakk at the beginning.
@noreply45
There actually is a song called "Farm Fidelen " where he plays all kinds of shit.
@ForgivenKazuma Ah c'mon, not even fashion sense?
SDMF
@RnR1KID lmfao wtf????
You have a cover in your eyes????
That can't be healthy! :)
Just being a pain! :D
