I can imagine Dimebag Darrell sit in that couch with Nikki Sixx. Would be amazing! R.I.P. DIME
no shit sherlock
@Kurt Hartz i had the privelage of shitting in a toilet whats your point?
i now that
Everyone would be HAMMARD drunk. "Drink it or wear it!'
Fuck Nikki Sissy
Ozzy's No More Tears album is full of outstanding riffs from Zakk.
dagoelius That no more tears solo is perfection
Exactly and mama I'm coming home!
Ozzy is best with Kelly dueting, they should do a new Sabbath track with Kelly on it, could even get Jack in there with a little rapped over breakdown Limp Biscuit style. That would really kick.
@@roterfuchs8201 You're high
@@RyanLBrown9396 Dude, you beat me to it! Yeah, No More Tears is probably one of the greatest solos of all time in my book. Its fairly simplistic too, just the basic petatonic but he pulls it off so masterfully.
Zakk proves that you can still be badass and cool without any tattoos. 🤘
What’s cool is I never even noticed the dude didn’t have any tats until now.
it used to be that only badasses got tattoos, now there's a million pussies with a lot of tattoos, times change 😸
You don't need to adorn yourself on the outside if you're beautiful on the inside.
@@user-fu8gq5xg5u1 doesn't mean if someone is beautiful on the inside they can't adorn themselves on the outside as well. If it's what's on the inside that counts then ink or no ink doesn't matter in the slightest. I got my tattoos for me not for anyone else.
@@zakkmylde1712 And why did you immediately understand this as a personal insult and began to justify the presence of tattoos on your body?
38:22 the way ozzy walks in" WHATS THIS?!?!" Ozzy is a national Treasure hahahaha
When Zakk takes a sip of coffee and slurps the excess out of his mustache like a wet mop. Metal.
He traded Heineken for coffee.....that's metal!
And when your fist bump clanks because of all the bling, metal.
I was wondering if anyone else caught that 😆
Love the way Zakk knows the Motley songs. What a humble guy.
Had no idea Zakk was a blue collar guy, This interview was like watching a rock icon humble himself to seem like a guy from a small town that made it. I truly respect that!
Seems like? That's exactly what he is.
what do you mean? timestamp it?
Zakk is just such a genuinely nice guy!!! Really a down to earth type of guy. He hasn't let his fame change him. One of the ABSOLUTE best rockers! Thanks Nikki for the interview.
Because he's from the East Coast ;)
HinjuRock I was born on the East coast but raised all over the place. I became a Army Brat at 9 yrs old. Does that count?
Zakk was at my bar for 5 hours back in 2007. He really is a very nice, funny, down to earth guy. Absolutely no ego or attitude. He signed my CD, took a photo with me and couldn't of been any cooler!
How does ANYONE on this page know if FAME changed him or not??? If you don’t know him personally, you don’t know SHIT!!!
You’re right, he’s a down to earth guy from South Jersey-VERY different from North Jersey-But FAME changes EVERYTHING & EVERYONE.... Especially when BIGG $$$$$$$ is involved!!!!!!!
I’ve known Jeff/Zakk since he was 15 years old.... AND He’ll always be a great guy!!!! But trust me, he’s changed ALOT!!!!
Meaning: FOR THE BETTER👍🏼
Absolutely 🙌🏻❤️
If he got EVH on here that would be the best thing to ever happen.
Too late
rock in peace Ed 🤘🏼
Please get Mick on here!
That one guy I think we would all enjoy that but I think it would be pretty uncomfortable for him physically. His body is in constant pain and I don’t know if this kind of intimate setting would be necessarily good for him and would probably not be the greatest to watch.
Sitting in that couch isn't a must, they could do it anyway is the most comfortable for him.
Mick is so underrated his tone is awesome .
My first thought when I heard about this series. Hopefully all that new shit on Joe Rogan's podcast will find it's way to Mick and he'll be up and jamming again one day.
Love you nikki.....
Nikki Sixx is an amazing interviewer. Very impressed how egoless he is here. What it's all about Man
I really dig Zakk's kinda overall philosophy of how you like what you like, and you do what you do, because you like the sound of whatever that is...don't over think it.
I love how this 40 minute video is basically 95% these guys just bs-ing, then Ozzy walks in and they're like, "oh crap, start playing". Hilarious. Classic stuff.
One of Zakk's first riffs on a record "Miracle Man" is still hard for me to play. I've been playing guitar for 25 years and I still suck, but I love music so much that it stays fun for me to learn to play what I can. It gets me closer to the music I love.
lol i suck too. lol. we should start a club.
5 yr player...I too Suck...Great idea for a Club !
Man I miss that series... Nikki COME BACK DUDE
Angus put him on the couch
Yes to having Mick Mars on! Very underated guitarist! I've always thought his rhythm work and Solo's were great. Always has killer tone, killer guitars,and always had a great rock-'n'-roll look.
Brian Osbment his lead in "home sweet home" is dynamite.
Saul Oliver I agree! I love all the guitar work on Too Young To Fall In Love. That is one of my favorite's as well.
Brian Osbment yessir
You must have never heard the solo on "Looks That Kill". One of the worst solos of all time.
@REDLADY 1982 As he said when Slash was on his show.
He's not friends with any of Motley.
I'm still amazed (& happy to see) that Zakk still isn't all tatted up!
It (not having any, at least visible tattoos) truly is an anomaly, especially in the rock world (and unheard in the rap world).
The riff from No More Tears is one of the greatest of all.
Paul O'Driscoll are you talking about the bassline?
No, the main guitar riff.
Paul O'Driscoll - the main guitar riff are just chords that compliment the main riff which is the bass intro.
Paul O'Driscoll I agree, every time I hear it I drop everything and zone like I just heard god
That's a bass rift dude, not guitar..
Biggest mistake I’ve ever made in life was quitting my band. Still play in cover bands to “scratch the itch” but music runs in my blood and that’s what I think about when I wake up and before I pass out. Not being rich or famous, but just playing music as a whole in a band setting. Music is life to me. Anyone else?
Yes, me too. I dont play any instrument but I listen to rock since I was 5 years old. Music is really my life. I would love to work in the music industry (any type of job) 😔😔
Yessir...I knew I wasnt the only one
No More Tears is one of Ozzy's best albums. No question. Some of the Zakk on No Rest For The Wicked is crazy-good too.
Zakk is always down to earth, No Rest For The Wicked was just an amazing Album. the guitar work was next level, and he was a kid then. I seen that tour I was in 8th grade, Im 44 now and have been playing all my life basically. I wish the U.S. would get back to rocking and rolling
NRFTW..IS A MASTERPIECE!!!!!
Sixx, just gets by on bass! Zakk is a virtuoso!
I enjoy the open conversation between Nikki and his guests. Zakk and Nikki are from two completely different worlds! They both have an appreciation for each other's style and musical influences. This is why they're both great writers! I'd like to see Nikki interview some of the present generation guitar players and session players!
Zakk is such a cool dude, he's funny, nice, and one of my favorite guitarists.
"Looks That Kill" has always been one of my favorite leads...especially that decending part they do twice in the song.
Zakk is the man....I love this guy! Nikki...you're the bomb too my friend ...God Bless you both! :)
I love seeing comments in some of Zakks videos with people criticizing his riffs and solos, "All Zakk does is run pentatonic scales", and Zakk comes right out and says, "Once I crossed everything off, I was left with pentatonics, so that's what I do." He just shamelessly owns it and couldn't care less what people say because he's a badass at what he does and he knows it.
Ace Frehley and Robby Krieger on here would make my life complete.
I wish Zakk would complete a sentence. Lol
That cracked me up, great post.. LMAO
He would, but, well, you know, the whole thing is, well, obviously...
He's got ADD bad.. its all good tho Zakks a bad ass
He finishes his licks and plays every note flawlessly... Who cares? ;)
I wish I could understand his funny accent.
Always a good laugh with Zakk! He is the real deal!
Kevin Walker a big deal
Overrated boring guitarist ..
@@rickeyryan303 over rated lol...dude can rip it up...why be negative? Not your taste? why did you watch it?
Over rated? Really? He's the best guitarist alive. You must be a bass player
@@markbayless5527 he is a good guitarist !!! nt the best tho !!! there r guitarist far far better n musical than him !! guthrie, vai, satriani, petrucci, p.gilbert etc etc..... play as fast as possible + pinch harmonics = zakk wylde !!!
u should listen zakks guitar playing with the great les paul --- he was terrible !!! dude cn obviously shred -- no doubt -- bt soooooo nt the best guitarist alive !!!!
No More Tears has one of the damn heaviest f**king riffs I’ve ever heard 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Amen. It is one of about 3 songs I know of in life that simply Can’t. Be. Loud. Enough. Truly thunder of the gods.
Ozzy walked in!? Hahahah!! The energy in the room changed like both of their wives walked in! HAHAHAH!! Wish I was there.
The smartest, and most articulate Zakk has ever sounded in any interview. Wylde and G. Lynch are very influential in both their playing and also their sound.
Zakk is such a humble, down to earth person. Great, great Advice
I remembered when he played for Ozzy before joining ZZTop.
@grizzlytomahawk Whooosh
grizzlytomahawk r/wooosh
he never joined ZZ Top. That's Gibbon's band.
@grizzlytomahawk it was a joke!
Wow. I,ve never seen so many fly overs in all my life. This is hilarious.
Zakk is Soo good at what he does. Not hard on the eyes as well. Keep on kicking it.
I absolutely LOVE this interview! It's so calm and down to earth. I'm a huge fan of Zakk and Sixx. Thank you.
Zakk, one of my top 5 guitarist influences. Love anything he does, thanks for this awesome interview!!
Great interview, great video! Honestly , thank you for this!
Good stuff, love how humble and real these dudes are.
thanks for doing these videos. very inspiring. been inspired by ya since I was 3 yrs old now 34 I've battled through my demons an picked up my guitar again. thanks again man
You are awesome Nikki!!!! You're my favorite bassist
This is SO inspirational!!! Thank you Nikki and Zakk!!!
Couldnt agree more with this interview. Great advice for any musician. Play what you love, what moves you! Thanks for the amazing interview.
God I love how intelligent these rock stars are! I love Zakk now more than ever ✌️😘🎼
I love watching Nikki and Zakk just hangout, they seem like such legitimate good friends
nikki sixx and ozzy are two of many musical heroes......thank you for everything...past present and future
Love the Show Niki. You're doing a service to us hard rock genre. I was with you since 1981. I respect you, the band, and your talent as well. You own this show.
I would pay a huge amount to see a Zakk Wylde wedding band.
Thanku for that, I actually love guns n roses, and Joan Jett, the stones, Jim Morrison, heaps of 70s music even though its a bit earlier than my time... But I was nearly at a stage thinking people mite think I'm time warping or being too olden days, and wondering whats in or popular.. It was EXCELENT to be told by 2 proper rockstars what I love is right on A-OK! THANX
can't even say how rare and awesome it is to see two pros shooting the s-t and not trying to sell you a thing. Nikki I hope you get to play as long as you want but you are freakin awesome at this side gig! Please keep it up!
Bro this is one of the better interviews I've seen 6 do. Zach is a cool dude when he's not lit or maybe 6 just brought out the best in him either way kudos.
I cant believe i heard Zakk say less is more
Two true greats of what they do. Zakk is all musician, Nikki is all showman. I love em both! Metal wouldn't be the
be the same without em!
lol thats a good one, can i use that joke..
Zakk maybe but Nikki????😂😂😂😂
nikki just played open quarternotes 90 percent of the time.
Us guitarists back in 88', just after high school we all admired you ZAKK, a young guy(now our age) talented guitarist getting into Ozzy's band. I'm happy for you and BLS.
I once met Zakk and I appreciate the type of person he is! Honest, sincere and VERY personable. I will never forget that experience because he took his time to talk to and sign autographs for all who wanted to meet him! He shows a REAL care for his fan base. He was all pumped because I had the original copy of the 1st Black Label record (CD) which I bought when it first came out back in the day! A REAL class act!
Dr. FEELGOOD is a killer riff for sure brother! It has a heavy bounce! Thanks for sharing!
Zakk the whole time I was thinking you were talking about Vito Bratta not playing anymore. Nikki you need to bring Vito on your show. He has been on Eddie Trunk so he at least still talks about his past career as a musician.
Joesixpack2112 tragic story :(
21:20 - 21:39
As someone that has recently got back into trying to play guitar again with struggles, this is wonderful and inspiring to hear. Thank you both for being awesome and kickin' ass!
I agree with Zakk! There is always a movement going on. Just do the music you wanna do! I play a lot of blues rock stuff,but I noticed I am mixing stuff in like finger tapping,pick squeals,legato stuff,a little bit of neo-classical,the 80's shred stuff. But that's what I spent a lot of time listening to early on. Then got into blues,and fusion later.
Cool interview Nikki!
Great to see two of my Favourite Musicians chilling out and chatting about Music with one another.
Just an idea, take it or leave it... get Johnny Depp on the show.
Huuuuugeee ZW fan. And he's in my top 3 since 1990 or something. But Jesus, zakk can't you just answer a question with clarity. Lol. So much I still want to know after all these years.
Phenomenal videos! Thank you Nikki Sixx!
Love hearing Nikki talk about the Paramount and Seattle! Love the channel keep up the great work!
I was waiting for it ;) now I wait for episode with Tony Iommi :)
Nicky is the bomb
Fuck yeah, iommi is the fucking best.
I love how Zakk just starts noodling whenever Nikki starts talking...just doesn't give a fuck.
As a current and Central-European born resident, but true American Rock N' Roll heart, your interviews Nikki on Sixx Sense means so much for me as a growing musician. I cannot be more thankful for You and Zakk to make this video happen. Your thoughts are invaluable treasure for me. THANK YOU FOR ALL THE MUSIC, THE ATTITUDE AND THE OVERALL ROCK N' ROLL EXPERIENCE! Kind Regards, A True Fan (me).
Dokken and Ratt were my favorites through the 80's on the Glam Side Crue started and stopped with Shout for me perfect Metal record . But I was also a big fan of Metallica up till Justice and also liked a lot of Anthrax and Slayer and when I play I sound like the Heavier bands I mentioned . But wanted to be George Lynch my Guru and the 10 fret stretch Warren DeMartini but I gravitated back to the speed Metal with Power chords and screaming solo's Priest , Scorpions showed me how great bands sound live and what a great concert sounds like didnt miss either band on Tour from 83 to 92 !! Zakk is a Beast but he loves his Blues Metal side and he's made some great Riffs and solos with OZZY ......
That's what's great about being a guitar player. The "soup" they were talking about. Who you are and what you love will flow out of it, just dont THINK about it, lol. At least that's how I feel. I'm early Ozzy, Maiden, The Melvins, The Ramones, Hank William's and Slayer. We'll see what comes out. The important thing is that we like it. I enjoyed your post, great topic= influence and conscious versus unconcious projection.
Get Richie Faulkner. Dude he played in cover bands for years and his library of riffs is insane. Would be great to see his favourite riff
craig fisher. Yep, I second this
craige fisher yep same here! RF just seems like a cool cat and definitely a great player
"Dammit why Didn't I write that. Because they did."
-zakk wylde
This is very good. I love the positive vibe, for guys like me who don't play as much, but still love it. Building guitars, B and G benders, and doing the occasional "play rock star" gig.
Its refreshing for somebody to acknowledge the guys who never achieved super success.
Great interview, thanks guys!
YES hit the like button before it even started. now all we need is Mick Mars
You should get the bass player from Motley Crue on your show! That guy can jam!
Erik Stone lol
Can i steal that joke.. I am going use it.
Well played Erik Stone! Haha
Nikki can't play guitar or the bass.
Haha that's why he is rich and you are WHAT?
Great channel Nikki....Love these interviews.
Love these guys,all class and passion.
Get Richie Faulkner! You can talk about the plans for your UFO tribute band. :)
tipton or kk downing need an episode and id be a happy camper
so awesome to see a couple of my icons sitting down talking shop! just happened to come across this video,kindda wondered what nikki and the crue were up to. heard rumors of a movie called the dirt! read the book ,awesome insight of the crue,actually cried over vince's daughter passing! GOD bless!!!!!
I love you guys, what a great thing two see two buddies waxing poetic about their passions.
Zakk Wylde what a bad ass Nikki your cool too.
This fucking changed my mind set completely , thanks Zakk and Sixx
I just started to play guitar, and these videos are amazing! Now a days we got it soo much easier than these guys had it. They learned by ear......records...music books...etc. Shit we got the fucking internet and rad stuff like this. Thanks guys for doing this! 🤘🏻💀🤘🏻
I really appreciate everything said in this, so true
He is difficult to interview. He answers a different question from the one you asked him.
Cause hes from Jackson
@@russellward4624 I heard him speak and looked it up...sure enough, born in Bayonne.
Jasper Lufkin born but grew up in Jackson, graduated from high school there.
Ozzy's always done that, probably picked it up there.
Love the Stig Pedersen/Disneyland After Dark 2 string bass reference😎
Bendtsen Magnifico , Sleeping my day away !!!!!!!!!
That might have been the coolest episode, ever!
That conversation about choosing the music for the individual is such a deep topic- it could be explored for years.
Great Anology Zakk, comparing car parts to the guitar fret board, this connects to that, and thats how it all works together.
Kids need to pay Attention |,,/
Warren DeMartini would be a good guest!
yep. One of the best of the 80s, what a player!
YES!
Trace Rollins definitely!
Trace Rollins stfu
Imagine Warren dimartini and George Lynch in the same band as twin guitarists...or would it be too much as they're very similar in their awesomeness?
Would really enjoy a collaboration of these 2. The presence of this duo is almost intimidating.
You mean Zakk's solo album...
I heard Tommy can't play. 😅
This is awsome honest and real music talk from two of the best musicians in the world
Met Zakk years ago when he was touring with Ozzy and he was really nice to us. Ozzy wasn't so nice...
Nikki seems like a really chilled dude too
Nikki is an awesome dude. Met him during the final tour of Motley Crue. He came up to the outside Arena gate and chilled with a bunch of us for about 30 minutes.
Man, Zak's hillbilly beard is one of the few metal guitarist. I hope he had a one time collaboration with ZZ Top.
Love the show Nikki. We a similar age and a former guitarist due to finger injuries to my left hand being in a Mechanical disaster career. This lighten things up and reminds me of what we grew up with. Great guests. Zakk obviously. I also love you giving Jake from Gretta Van Fleet some exposure. That kid is going to do well. Thank you for this Nikki!
I love these interviews amazing!
in the 70s i didn't realize my turntable was fast. i learned everything in F and Bflat
"King Edward" ... right on ...
Totally agree with Zakk. I love his new line of Wylde audio signature guitars
I like them as well. Kind of have a gear crush on the blood Eagle. The natural. Hopefully they will still be making them when I have the money to buy em.
Zakk is KING and Nikki is KING ,,, both are 2 of my all time faves ! great episode man..
