Dude. That was awesome. Thank you bro . Make me laugh and het teary eyes at the same time . Love zakk. God I miss dime.. and we all love you Ola . 🤘🤘🤘🤘
I once ran in to Zakk one morning in the Denver airport we literally bump in to one another boarding a tram, I couldn't believe it was him, I had to get a picture or nobody would believe me, I ask politely if I could get picture and without hesitating he said sure, I had a short chat with him and I showed him some pictures I took of him just a couple of months before at one of the Hendrix tribute tours he was super nice, but what really blew me away was when the tram stopped I was remaining on for a different stop he got off the tram took about 10 steps turned around and said "take care brother" that was so awesome, he could have just stepped off and not even said anything else to me, that tells you what a kind of person he is, he didn't know it but I had just had surgery for prostate cancer he had no idea how good that made me feel after all I had just been through, had to share that, and Ola love your videos brother I been a sub for a long time.
completely !!! true true about Zakk i was around him too many times to count (because i worked for Vinnie & Darrell at their rock n roll club) 15 yrs! Zakk 💯‼️ it 1 of the kindest nicest human beings i've ever met - a very genuine and sincere person and that's similar to what Darrell Abbott was like -very kind and humble - i always remember watching Zakk hug lots of people 😹 hold your breath 😆 much respect ✌🏼 20 august 1966 - 8 december 2004 🕊💜
I feel like it easily could have... like zakk wouldnt have minded either but probably had something pressing cuz really.... and him looking up how to play vids proves it.... at the end of the day hes another kid that picked up a guitar to make those sounds he heard in his head.... when we get to talking on that level its the great equalizer... we all just 'get it' when we hear a gnarly open E just disgustingly drenched in gain.... thats why were here... dime was one of us, ola and zakk are amongst us and we all recognize our tribe. Like.... as much as id love to learn from yngwie idk that he *can* teach cuz he lost sight of the tribal concept somewhere along the way.... assuming he ever had the concept. Idk.... just... zakk is and will always be one of us... most the real guitar heroes, at their core, always have been... i say most of for a reason... but seriously, the players ive always loved the most (stylistically and even technique or whatever) have all been people that genuinely seemed like theyd be doing the exact same thing with or without the fame or an audience even. And those are my people. The ones the create because they feel like they *have to*. The ones who just cant even help but be creative.... our tribe.
@@Cheximus I love Zakk but he needs to shave. How does he kiss his wife? Its strange when men have beards like that. He would prolly look 10 years younger if he shaved haha love Zakk though, he is a good guitarist first Pantera tribute show will happen TODAY...
i never witnessed anything else as so many many many grown men cry over Darrell -Diamond Darrell -dime -dimebag passing away so tragically ... all ages, and from all over the world and famous men too simply shedding tears for Darrell never witnessed anything else even close to that --- -for years after 2004 december that was the normal at my work that was owned by the Abbott brothers ...

(ignore all the haters and negative dogmatic opinions) "When i play Pantera at home, my neighbors hear it too" 😹 Wow Zakk - Randy R and now Darrell A wow wow wow ... speechless i think Metallica in 1991 or '92 had asked about Darrell playing for them and the answer was of course NO 😹 (i could be wrong yet that's what i remember hearing) ✌🏼🇺🇸Texas⭐️
@@jeremyjames1659well who wouldnt. And a good person like him loves to give so hes not greedy. He also shows love to fans all the time unlike all the new artists of today who are so self centered and just take money Dont confuse money and honoring Dime. Hes obviously doing something for a loved one because of love, not money. Its obvious, and i shouldnt have to say this but i am lol.
I met Zakk at a music store several years ago, and was shocked by how nice of a guy he was. Here he was this larger than life rockstar, everyone wanted some of his time, yet he had no ego whatsoever. He was just as nice and down to earth as can be, and treated everyone like they were old friends. I had already been a huge fan since I was a kid (he was a huge reason I started playing guitar), but after that day I had a whole new level of respect and admiration for him.
Zakk the reason why I listened to Ozzy as a teenager in the 90s, specially that album Ozmosis, that killer guitar tone in Perry Mason still head bangs my head today 🤯
Maan you are blessed, we are all blessed, you are talking to Zakk him self, we all know Zakk was Dyme’s best friends in the real life … maaan you are already long time ago part of the history of metal not only with your own stuff but you are part of the Pantera family in Europe, thank you for having you man and god bless all the rest of guitar players around the world, don’t be nervous when talking to Zakk he is the most biggest down earth human being in the world, like Vai and the rest, so just don’t be nervous just chill and live the dream come through … I bet you’ll be out there on stage playing with the 2023 reunion Pantera once they hit Europe I personally wish you this becoming reality and it will … Remember my fcuking words OLA :)
There used to be a thing online of Jake himself showing how he plays it. He said all the transcriptions he's seen have it completely wrong. He then demonstrates it and it was rather deceptively easy, other than it's a pretty big stretch with the fret hand. Google it, it's probably still around somewhere.
Literally Dime's best friend, he would have been beyond honored and moved. The haters can....we all know how this goes...dah dah dah...dah dah dah....WALK!!
Saw Zakk twice on the Generation Axe tours. It was incredible. He literally walked the isles shredding right in your face! I took my son who was 10 at the time and he was totally inspired. He started taking lessons there after, now he's 16 and plays guitar everyday.
I’m always been amazed how much movement with perfect attack there is in Zakk’s picking hand. He is doing the opposite of what works best and is still one of the best.
Ola and Zakk are the kind of people who become and stay your friends for life!! Absolute game-changers in their genre of work yet so humble. Mad respect for you both..
I once met Zakk at a Macaroni Grill in a tien just outside of Dallas, he was super cool and as I didn't recognize any of the other guys there which was Black Lable Society he made sure I knew all their names and that all of them were just as important as he was. Which I thought was awesome of him, though I don't remeber any of the names. it's cool he thinks like that instead of just making things about himself.
Zakk's articles in guitar magazines helped me so much back in high school. I remember it getting me into theory and blowing the roof off of learning for me. Much respect to Zakk. Absolute legend!
@@bove2k918 I just think his style of music is more inline with Pantera's. I was listening to an interview with him a couple weeks ago and he was saying how Dime was a fan of theirs....
Dude, in what world is Zakk underrated? Obviously your world, but in the REAL world, Zakk is a friggin' legend and admired by more people than most guitarist on this planet. He is highly rated and one of the most popular guitarist ever. How can you be with Ozzy for all those years and be underrated? You can't. I just don't get your comment, other than it's worth some cheap thumbs up.
@@valuedhumanoid6574 Hang on a minute here I’m a massive Zakk fan he has tons of fans I’m one of them ,but I think he is underated by some guitarists yes mainly by prog guys that have no feel,try not to twist my words pls
I love how Zakk makes references to his classic rock heroes and to riffs made by these guitar legends. He's as a fanboy like us all the time. I've been a big fan since his Pride & Glory days. Can't wait to see him in action with Phil, Rex, and Charlie. This is gonna be EPIC!
Fun Fact: Mark Morton said in an interview that he's used UA-cam tutorials and covers of his own songs to learn how to play Lamb of God songs he forgot how to play. Yes, the songs he wrote, he's forgotten, and then used UA-cam covers and tutorials to re-learn them. It's not shocking in the least that Zakk learns songs that he doesn't know the same way anyone else would. Difference is that he has the talent, ambition, and dedication to be able to do it whereas most guitar players don't put in the work. If Zakk could replace Randy back in the day just using the tracks and the poor quality tab books of the day, he's going to have no problem nailing Dime's tracks.
He also had to learn Jake's stuff and any Iommi he didn't already know. Three unique styles from three greats. Plus work on his new stuff. Wow! I saw him on his first Ozzy tour (No Rest for the Wicked) he was a beast.
@@chipchiperson679 its not only solos but chords, structure all of it its just resultant of what originals are. Im not saying its wrong or anything. He just don't give a damn as long as he hits the right note.Sometimes it's like Xmas tree with too much decoration.
I'm pretty sure I had a pretty big smile for the entire interview . Two of my favorite person talking to each other about the other person I like the most, you made my day !! Thank you Ola !!! 🤘
For him, I think it's not just hitting the stage and playing Pantera songs, Zakk Wylde know it's not just picking the guitar and playing these songs there are so much going on in his mind !
Zakk was a big reason I started playing guitar. I even used to spell my name Zakk in high school. There isn’t a more perfect fit to step in for Dime than Zakk.
Facts on facts brotha! I dont like to be boastful and show off and compare artists but Zakk is literally the best metal guitarist ever right above Randy and Dime. "In this river" axe version live performance is probably the best live performance hes ever done and he shows the most intensity and soul pouring ive ever seen on a guitar.
Thank you for sharing this. I am also eager to catch them live. It would be my 6th time seeing Pantera. I love hearing Zakk's thoughts on why it is an awesome idea and comparisons to other tributes. Like him playing Sabbath and Randy Rhoad's songs for decades. It is just as awesome and I think people should cut him some slack for doing this for the same reason as the other greats he covers. Zakk is one of my favorite guitarists and he's funny as hell too. Great interview.
My new favorite musician. I always mostly liked Zakk but now after this Pantera tribute shows and tour I am now blown away. So cool. This interview shows what an awesome guy he is too.
Hi, I just watched zakk in Pantera in Bogotá, and I can confirm it was a TOTAL Blast, they were insane, full of energy, zakk respect the dime material but he put his own style and fit so well in the band many talent, no one will ever replace viny and dime, but I think together with Charlie, they can write a new chapter for Pantera and for metal history I really hope this reunion don't stop when the tour ends, nice video and thanks for the interview.
Literally, the only guy who could step into Dime's shoes. I love what Zak said about knowing songs, just because you might be familiar with a song does not mean you know how to play it.
Zakk's love and respect for the brothers makes him the perfect person to pay tribute to Dime. He's an amazing human. Down to earth & loves to hang with fans like the brothers did.
I was blown away to see ZAK WYLDE play pantera songs and sounding like 'Dimebag' himself, the walk solo was great too. I've gained much more respect for for mr Wylde.
Estoy emocionado por ver a Zakk hacer ésto, solo por qué siento que en el fondo si dime pudiera verlo tocar sus canciones a su hermano Zakk se sintiera muy feliz
Zakk has always tread realms beyond. His analogies are always so heart warming, eye opening, and spot on. I specifically love the wide berth of who he tributes when speaking about music - his musical appreciation across the board, well outside of the gates of metal, is what makes him such a killer and versatile guitarist. Hell yeah!
Hi met zakk the man is a genuinely beautiful soul he got up and shook my hand at Milton Keynes years n years ago I was blown away its nice to be nice. But it's great to be great. Zakk 4 ever 🏴
I got to meet Zakk for a meet and greet and it was the OPPOSITE of the old saying “don’t meet your heroes”. It was a truly special experience. I hope to one day do it again
The part about learning solos and forgetting them so relatable! I practised the No More Tears solo for hours and hours ready to film, inured my hand was out of action for a month came back and it was back to square one 😂 not giving up though!
He is obviously learning all the hard stuff first being the solos. Zack is the man great interview short but we learned more in this one than most 👍 The trend is so ***dam* electric 🔥
I met Zakk with my son twice, and he's always super awesome, such a great guy. I still have my Marshall JCM800 4010 combo he signed back in 2007. Just a fun guy, really hoping the Pantera shows come this way, would absolutely love to go!
Love the whole interview! Zakk is gonna do Dime proud...but holy shit, I've been a fan of Zakk since I was a kid, and his sense of humor is on another level 18:01 "It was rather...very un-good". That got me hahaha
I WORSHIPPED Zakk's style when i was learning how to solo in the early 2000's as a teenager and to some extent those things never go away even after all these years
I’ll always remember seeing Zakk at a guitar store and he played a few sabbath songs for this small crowd and he was 110% rocking out and talked to everyone like he was your pal. He was the coolest dude.
What an accomplishment and compliment to have a guitar legend such as Zakk to acknowledge your playing ability and internet channel. I'm vicariously smiling threw you Mr. England. I can imagine how much pride and humbleness you feel when Mr. Wylde gives you props. What a great day for you.
Its nice to hear Zakk getting ready for this tour. Im sure he will do a great job covering his friends music. I still have the guitar world centerfold with Zakk and Dime.
Just saw Zakk live with Pantera last Friday at Jiffy Lube Live in Bristow, VA. They were absolutely amazing and killed it!! Great interview man, Zakk was such a cool guy with you, as you were with him. Love it 🤘🏻
How awesome. Had the pleasure of meeting Zakk a couple times over the years and he's exactly the same dude he is here. Super cool, super nice....just a wonderful dude.
Gotta love good old Zakk. One of the reasons why he is so good is because he enjoys in every possible minute on and off stage. Loves what he does more than anything. So positive, talented and just a great dude that can do whatever you want with that guitar. One of the greatest for sure. Respect
To hear that zakk Wylde used your videos to learn a part of a song has got to be unbelievable. zakk is such a good dude, been jamming to BLS since pride and glory Happy to see Ola's success as well. He's been at it for a while and has earned every bit if it.
Was probably like everyone else and smiling the whole time watching it. Great interview and had to be mind blowing when he said he was watching your channel for Pantera riffs. Awesome all the way around. Getcha pull
I've watched you years ago, trying out hotrod Richie Blackmore Engl amps to now chilling with the man, Zakk Wylde with your own line of instruments and such. Cheers to the future.
God damn... As a die hard Pantera fan I've always felt like me and Dime would've gotten along fantastically. I respect the hell out of Zakk for honoring him, even though Dime always took the cake. The way he hit those whammy harmonics just hit different. "The sleep and floods" still hit me right where it matters after all those years.
Man, I'm so excited for the Pantera tribute. One thing I do hope though, I hope they at least release a live album so people who can't afford to go can still listen to the tribute.
Great interview! Dude, That is the ultimate complement, when THE MAN, THE LEGEND, ZAKK WYLDE tells you that he referred to your channel to learn how to play a rif / the rif from "Becoming"! He seems like such a down to earth dude.
I was in the front row center stage in 2016 at the Fox theatre in Oakland Ca for the Zakk Wylde, Steve Vai, Yngwie Malmsteen, Nuno Bettencourt, Tosin Abasi show and Zakk walked off the stage during a solo and stood in the middle of the crowd and ripped for what seemed like 10 minutes straight with no breaks it was amazing, the guy is a machine and an incredible player. That was one of the best shows I've ever seen. Probably my second favorite Zakk Wylde show was when he had Pride and Glory and opened for Aerosmith in Sacramento in the early 90's that show was incredible! He's a legend and literally the only person worthy of the Pantera tribute shows!
I don’t watch your channel much but I discovered your channel when you only had a handful of videos of you just riffing through dual recs…. Great to see the progression and the respect you’ve garnered - this interview was very satisfying to watch from this perspective. Big respect to you, Ola.
2 things. I love that you have your own guitar company but still have other brands on display. The way it should be! Second I really love the overlay effect you use in this. Thanks, dude.
Zakk is amazing, such a cool dude! He will do fantastic playing Dimes stuff! I saw Zakk with Ozzy is 2018 and he did like a 20 min solo in the crowd! LOL, such a monster performer!
Zakk is such an awesome dude! Great interview, one of my favorite guitar players. I wish I had tickets to one of the up coming Pantera shows, unfortunately I wasn’t able to get one. Zakk Wylde is definitely the best dude to be playing these shows in honor of Dimebag. Never got to see Dimebag play live, bc I didn’t discover Pantera til after he had passed away (I would’ve also been too young to go anyway lol) but I have heard great stories about those shows
So happy for you getting to talk with Zakk Ola! I was lucky enough to catch him on the generation axe tour here in the U.S. and it was killer to see him running all over the venue blazing for ten minutes straight! He is such a down to earth guy!
“It’s just like learning Jake’s stuff, or Randy’s stuff or Lord Iommi” now he’s adding Dime’s stuff to the mix. The man said it himself. He’s the guy for sure to do this.
Loved the interview! Zakk's just a funny, humble and down to earth guy, who happens to be one of the best guitar players out there xD Thanks for bringing us this amazing chat, Ola. Cheers!
I met Zakk at Ozzfest back in 2007. I stood in line at the BLS tent to meet him and get his autograph. When I came up in line, he said “Hold on a minute brother,” went back to his cooler, grabbed two ice cold Heinekens out, opened one up, dropped it down right in front of me, and opened one for himself. We both took huge chugs together. Then he let me take a pic with him even tho no pics were allowed supposedly. It was 110 outside and water was $8 a cup. I saved the Heineken bottle and have it 15 years later lol. Great guy.
Fully on board with the Pantera thing now, the way he puts it you can tell he's totally doing it for the right reasons and if he says Dime and Vinnie would have loved it then you'd have to believe that's true 🤘🏼
Zakk Wylde! What an absolute legend!
Both of you are legends ❤️
Nice interview dude, Zakk is the best. His right hand is out of this world. Definitely not human. 🤣🤣🤣
Zakk should use Dime's rig. Why else would Grady be in on this? Pantera isn't Pantera without Dime's tone.
Thanks but, my name is Quentin James.
Dude. That was awesome. Thank you bro . Make me laugh and het teary eyes at the same time . Love zakk. God I miss dime.. and we all love you Ola . 🤘🤘🤘🤘

Zakk Wylde underrated? Were you born yesterday or what?
@@valuedhumanoid6574 Hang on a minute here I’m a massive Zakk fan he has tons of fans I’m one of them ,but I think he is underated by some guitarists yes mainly by prog guys that have no feel,try not to twist my words pls
@@Cleeemoo I had the same reaction. In what world is he underrated? Not the real world. He's fishing for cheap thumbs up for some reason
I love how Zakk makes references to his classic rock heroes and to riffs made by these guitar legends. He's as a fanboy like us all the time. I've been a big fan since his Pride & Glory days. Can't wait to see him in action with Phil, Rex, and Charlie. This is gonna be EPIC!
Fun Fact: Mark Morton said in an interview that he's used UA-cam tutorials and covers of his own songs to learn how to play Lamb of God songs he forgot how to play. Yes, the songs he wrote, he's forgotten, and then used UA-cam covers and tutorials to re-learn them.
It's not shocking in the least that Zakk learns songs that he doesn't know the same way anyone else would. Difference is that he has the talent, ambition, and dedication to be able to do it whereas most guitar players don't put in the work.
If Zakk could replace Randy back in the day just using the tracks and the poor quality tab books of the day, he's going to have no problem nailing Dime's tracks.
He also had to learn Jake's stuff and any Iommi he didn't already know. Three unique styles from three greats. Plus work on his new stuff. Wow! I saw him on his first Ozzy tour (No Rest for the Wicked) he was a beast.
But he doesn’t play any of their stuff accurately but plays his own version of it
@@chipchiperson679 he plays around those chords whatever band he plays .
@@DerekHundik yeah Zakk plays their solos the way I would which is make it up to sound close enough
@@chipchiperson679 its not only solos but chords, structure all of it its just resultant of what originals are. Im not saying its wrong or anything. He just don't give a damn as long as he hits the right note.Sometimes it's like Xmas tree with too much decoration.
I'm pretty sure I had a pretty big smile for the entire interview . Two of my favorite person talking to each other about the other person I like the most, you made my day !! Thank you Ola !!! 🤘
For him, I think it's not just hitting the stage and playing Pantera songs, Zakk Wylde know it's not just picking the guitar and playing these songs there are so much going on in his mind !
So cool. Such nice blokes. Can you imagine Dime filling in for Zakk for an Ozzy show back in the day? Ha ha that would have been awesome.
Zakk was a big reason I started playing guitar. I even used to spell my name Zakk in high school. There isn’t a more perfect fit to step in for Dime than Zakk.
Zakk is a Class ACT !! Hardest working guitarist in the Business ! SDMF
Facts on facts brotha! I dont like to be boastful and show off and compare artists but Zakk is literally the best metal guitarist ever right above Randy and Dime.
"In this river" axe version live performance is probably the best live performance hes ever done and he shows the most intensity and soul pouring ive ever seen on a guitar.
Thank you for sharing this. I am also eager to catch them live. It would be my 6th time seeing Pantera. I love hearing Zakk's thoughts on why it is an awesome idea and comparisons to other tributes. Like him playing Sabbath and Randy Rhoad's songs for decades. It is just as awesome and I think people should cut him some slack for doing this for the same reason as the other greats he covers. Zakk is one of my favorite guitarists and he's funny as hell too. Great interview.
Awsome conversation. What an honor to have zakk say you helped him learn a Pantera song. 😀 I wouldn't be able to stop smiling. Lol
My new favorite musician. I always mostly liked Zakk but now after this Pantera tribute shows and tour I am now blown away. So cool. This interview shows what an awesome guy he is too.
Hi, I just watched zakk in Pantera in Bogotá, and I can confirm it was a TOTAL Blast, they were insane, full of energy, zakk respect the dime material but he put his own style and fit so well in the band many talent, no one will ever replace viny and dime, but I think together with Charlie, they can write a new chapter for Pantera and for metal history I really hope this reunion don't stop when the tour ends, nice video and thanks for the interview.
When a big badass like Zakk Wylde gets emotional I get emotional 😭. Dime is flowing through his veins.
Literally, the only guy who could step into Dime's shoes. I love what Zak said about knowing songs, just because you might be familiar with a song does not mean you know how to play it.
Zakk's love and respect for the brothers makes him the perfect person to pay tribute to Dime. He's an amazing human. Down to earth & loves to hang with fans like the brothers did.
I was blown away to see ZAK WYLDE play pantera songs and sounding like 'Dimebag' himself, the walk solo was great too. I've gained much more respect for for mr Wylde.
Estoy emocionado por ver a Zakk hacer ésto, solo por qué siento que en el fondo si dime pudiera verlo tocar sus canciones a su hermano Zakk se sintiera muy feliz
Será demasiado épico
Estoy de acuerdo
Por supuesto.
They say never meet your hero’s. Zakk seems so down to earth bro. Great interview
I can't wait to hear Zach playing Panteras riffs
Zakk has always tread realms beyond. His analogies are always so heart warming, eye opening, and spot on. I specifically love the wide berth of who he tributes when speaking about music - his musical appreciation across the board, well outside of the gates of metal, is what makes him such a killer and versatile guitarist. Hell yeah!
Awesome man! Zakk is the best! Favourite guitarist of all time! Great tone cool guitars! The best beard ever too. Watching now, already gave a like!
Hi met zakk the man is a genuinely beautiful soul he got up and shook my hand at Milton Keynes years n years ago I was blown away its nice to be nice. But it's great to be great. Zakk 4 ever 🏴
Thank you very much Ola for this interview, it was so great!
I got to meet Zakk for a meet and greet and it was the OPPOSITE of the old saying “don’t meet your heroes”. It was a truly special experience. I hope to one day do it again
The part about learning solos and forgetting them so relatable! I practised the No More Tears solo for hours and hours ready to film, inured my hand was out of action for a month came back and it was back to square one 😂 not giving up though!
🛃🚯❌🪄🩹🩹🪬💸🎸🎼🥇
He is obviously learning all the hard stuff first being the solos. Zack is the man great interview short but we learned more in this one than most 👍 The trend is so ***dam* electric 🔥
I met Zakk with my son twice, and he's always super awesome, such a great guy. I still have my Marshall JCM800 4010 combo he signed back in 2007. Just a fun guy, really hoping the Pantera shows come this way, would absolutely love to go!
Love the whole interview! Zakk is gonna do Dime proud...but holy shit, I've been a fan of Zakk since I was a kid, and his sense of humor is on another level 18:01 "It was rather...very un-good". That got me hahaha
I WORSHIPPED Zakk's style when i was learning how to solo in the early 2000's as a teenager and to some extent those things never go away even after all these years
Seen zakk a couple of months ago live with BLS, awesome guitar player and loud, very loud 😂🤘🏻
I’ll always remember seeing Zakk at a guitar store and he played a few sabbath songs for this small crowd and he was 110% rocking out and talked to everyone like he was your pal. He was the coolest dude.
What a lovely guy. I wonder what his opinion on limp bizkit is
Limp bizkit still sux C**k!!!!!
Fred Durst can suck his...
What an accomplishment and compliment to have a guitar legend such as Zakk to acknowledge your playing ability and internet channel.
I'm vicariously smiling threw you Mr. England. I can imagine how much pride and humbleness you feel when Mr. Wylde gives you props. What a great day for you.
Its nice to hear Zakk getting ready for this tour. Im sure he will do a great job covering his friends music. I still have the guitar world centerfold with Zakk and Dime.
Zakk Wylde is my hero. I've looked up to him for quite some time.
Great episode! Zakk is a living legend, and he gave you props. You should feel proud of that, Ola.
Just saw Zakk live with Pantera last Friday at Jiffy Lube Live in Bristow, VA. They were absolutely amazing and killed it!! Great interview man, Zakk was such a cool guy with you, as you were with him. Love it 🤘🏻
How awesome. Had the pleasure of meeting Zakk a couple times over the years and he's exactly the same dude he is here. Super cool, super nice....just a wonderful dude.
This is the best interview of a musican I have ever seen in my life. I had so much fun watching and listening to both of you. Thx for sharing!
Gotta love good old Zakk. One of the reasons why he is so good is because he enjoys in every possible minute on and off stage. Loves what he does more than anything. So positive, talented and just a great dude that can do whatever you want with that guitar. One of the greatest for sure. Respect
I can't imagine the gratification of having Zakk tell you to keep posting because he is learning from you. God damn, that is awesome!
Dime and zakk are alike. They’re both really down to earth and have an open and friendly personality. Both guitar gods.
To hear that zakk Wylde used your videos to learn a part of a song has got to be unbelievable. zakk is such a good dude, been jamming to BLS since pride and glory Happy to see Ola's success as well. He's been at it for a while and has earned every bit if it.
Was probably like everyone else and smiling the whole time watching it. Great interview and had to be mind blowing when he said he was watching your channel for Pantera riffs. Awesome all the way around. Getcha pull
I've watched you years ago, trying out hotrod Richie Blackmore Engl amps to now chilling with the man, Zakk Wylde with your own line of instruments and such. Cheers to the future.
So excited for this tour!!! seen them in 97’, in Utah, of all places!! Leeets go!!!!
With all the fame, Zak still seems like such a cool, humble dude that just loves rock. I love that Charlie and Zak are doing this
Super cool man and Zak is such a polite personable and commen sense dude.
loved it!
Any time spent with Uncle Zakk is time well spent!
God damn... As a die hard Pantera fan I've always felt like me and Dime would've gotten along fantastically. I respect the hell out of Zakk for honoring him, even though Dime always took the cake. The way he hit those whammy harmonics just hit different. "The sleep and floods" still hit me right where it matters after all those years.
Man, I'm so excited for the Pantera tribute. One thing I do hope though, I hope they at least release a live album so people who can't afford to go can still listen to the tribute.
The most wholesome interview I've seen in some time. Congratulations, Ola!
Great interview! Dude, That is the ultimate complement, when THE MAN, THE LEGEND, ZAKK WYLDE tells you that he referred to your channel to learn how to play a rif / the rif from "Becoming"! He seems like such a down to earth dude.
I was in the front row center stage in 2016 at the Fox theatre in Oakland Ca for the Zakk Wylde, Steve Vai, Yngwie Malmsteen, Nuno Bettencourt, Tosin Abasi show and Zakk walked off the stage during a solo and stood in the middle of the crowd and ripped for what seemed like 10 minutes straight with no breaks it was amazing, the guy is a machine and an incredible player. That was one of the best shows I've ever seen. Probably my second favorite Zakk Wylde show was when he had Pride and Glory and opened for Aerosmith in Sacramento in the early 90's that show was incredible! He's a legend and literally the only person worthy of the Pantera tribute shows!
I don’t watch your channel much but I discovered your channel when you only had a handful of videos of you just riffing through dual recs….
Great to see the progression and the respect you’ve garnered - this interview was very satisfying to watch from this perspective.
Big respect to you, Ola.
I really like how he’s walking around while being interviewed. It’s like an unintentional house tour
I hope he plays in this river. I know it's zakks song but I think it'd be fitting. Good interview ola!!!!
great suggestion... Id love to hear Phil Anselmo sing this song ...
2 things. I love that you have your own guitar company but still have other brands on display. The way it should be! Second I really love the overlay effect you use in this. Thanks, dude.
Zakk is a humble dude and one of my heroes along w leslie west,evh,dime and George lynch
Zakk is amazing, such a cool dude! He will do fantastic playing Dimes stuff! I saw Zakk with Ozzy is 2018 and he did like a 20 min solo in the crowd! LOL, such a monster performer!
Sheeeeesh unexpected collab with zakk wylde and jesus one of the best video i watched this year❤️❤️❤️
Zakk is such an awesome dude! Great interview, one of my favorite guitar players. I wish I had tickets to one of the up coming Pantera shows, unfortunately I wasn’t able to get one. Zakk Wylde is definitely the best dude to be playing these shows in honor of Dimebag. Never got to see Dimebag play live, bc I didn’t discover Pantera til after he had passed away (I would’ve also been too young to go anyway lol) but I have heard great stories about those shows
What a hero! Great that he’s a fan of your channel too.keep up the good work 💪🏻
Lot of respect for Zakk Wylde. Always been a super nice guy.
So happy for you getting to talk with Zakk Ola! I was lucky enough to catch him on the generation axe tour here in the U.S. and it was killer to see him running all over the venue blazing for ten minutes straight! He is such a down to earth guy!
HE´S SO HUMBLE...AND A LEGEND💯
Superb, great interview. The respect shared between you and Zakk was so genuine, Ola. What a moment.😎🤘🏻
“It’s just like learning Jake’s stuff, or Randy’s stuff or Lord Iommi” now he’s adding Dime’s stuff to the mix. The man said it himself. He’s the guy for sure to do this.
Loved the interview! Zakk's just a funny, humble and down to earth guy, who happens to be one of the best guitar players out there xD Thanks for bringing us this amazing chat, Ola. Cheers!
I met Zakk at Ozzfest back in 2007. I stood in line at the BLS tent to meet him and get his autograph. When I came up in line, he said “Hold on a minute brother,” went back to his cooler, grabbed two ice cold Heinekens out, opened one up, dropped it down right in front of me, and opened one for himself. We both took huge chugs together. Then he let me take a pic with him even tho no pics were allowed supposedly. It was 110 outside and water was $8 a cup. I saved the Heineken bottle and have it 15 years later lol. Great guy.
Zakk is a hell of a guitarist and seems to be a really loyal down to earth dude
Fully on board with the Pantera thing now, the way he puts it you can tell he's totally doing it for the right reasons and if he says Dime and Vinnie would have loved it then you'd have to believe that's true 🤘🏼
Gave me the emotions lol so stoked to hear him kill IT soon. Fantastic interview. Bravo!
Saw them in San Diego, California. Zakk f*cking killed it. EPIC!!!
So glad you guys made the statement about recording and playing other people’s solos. I totally agree. 🤘
