If you didn’t already know, Zakk Sabbath is a Black Sabbath cover band led by Black Label Society vocalist and virtuoso electric guitarist Zakk Wylde. Let’s not forget that former Osbourne and Rob Zombie bassist Rob ‘Blasko’ Nicholson, and former Queens Of The Stone Age drummer Joey Castillo play in the group as well. That’s one hell of a cover band.
Zakk is Ozzy’s concert guitarist, so having Zakk Sabbath perform at OZZFEST would seem to be an appropriate no-brainer.
