This is another Zakk Wylde cover from the Book of Shadows album. I did it on my Washburn 11 string ;D(see I'm missing a string)Hah, and I even pulled out the electric for this one.(Washburn Idol I65).
Ladies and Gentlemen....may I present to you.... the next 2009 winner of AMERICAN IDOL!

This one is going on my mp3 player. Excellent. You have the most mesmerizing voice. I'm with holdem You should be on American Idol. I loved the electric in the background. Such a nice mix. Could be heard and added a lot but didn't over power the acoustic. GREAT JOB!!!!
Very nice! I just learned an important lesson on mixing acoustic with electric and vox.
Thanks for this one.
bump. I'm keeping this one on top for awhile. ;D
You guys are gonna make Monday a breeze 8) I appreciate all of your compliments!
-You guys are the best!
Dude, you have an awesome singing voice!
Wow, you just blew me away with this song.
this is another song for my mp3 player...
LG
p.s. I like the sound of your 11 string.
LOL
Hey, that's great! I'm glad you gave it a listen man....
Yeah, atleast it has 11 strings.....could be worse!LOL
Exceptional singing and production. This is slick and very professional. You really know what you're doing musically, and how to get there. Brilliant :)
Exceptional job. This is professionally done for sure. Great singing voice, holy sh*t what a great voice you have.
Hey, thanks guys! The funny thing is-I wasn't really planning on doing this song....it just kind of happend...rather fast. It had been so long since I played my 12 string, so I picked it up and tuned her up-started playing this song(that I haven't played in awhile) and thought hey why don't I hit record and see what happens.....
It meansalot hearing those compliments from you, Greeny!
Great, great singing.
So can you do that omnipresent Zakk Wylde squeal on your guitar? I always wondered how somebody could chirp like that...and so consistently as well.
Once again, very nice.

Hah haha! Thanks "afterbirth"..... :)
What can I say, He is my Sensei....I definately try...I still haven't gotten into Black Label Society yet, though...I totally love his solo stuff including the trio of Pride and Glory he fronted in the 90's....Great stuff! Thanks Blooby!
I'm not a giant metal-head, but I remember enjoying the Pride and Glory album a lot. Zakk seemed to be exorcising some of his southern rock demons on that one. There was some acoustic number that escapes me right now that I really liked. And I must say that "Machine Gun Man" has got to be one of the best driving songs ever. Kind makes me speed a tad, though.
On 8-1-93, Dickey Betts took ill, and Zakk sat in with the Allman Brothers for a show (documented in a bootleg called "Zakk Goes Wylde.") I don't know if I ever heard the whole recording, but I remember "Dreams" being quite amusing. Here's a link.

Seriously, no kidding. Very inspiring. This has a great professional sound to it. Awesome job dude. You got any gigs lined up yet?
No, I sure don't yet....Too busy with schooling and Daddying---I'm thinking I'll be ready w/ 4hrs of material by May---I'm looking forward to it! 8)
Oh, hey, Thanks Blooby for those links! Never heard of Raging Slab--sounds like something to look into...And Zakk going Wylde I'm sure has got to be good...I love the Allman Bros! I always thought Zakk was influenced alot by them...never knew they actually got together!
Machine Gun Man is Awesome-Somewhere I have a recording of just him singing and playing it on an acoustic---I love every song on that Pride and Glory album---I saw him in Omaha after they broke up...It was just Zakk and Nick Cantanese in fairly small little bar-room.(I was only 15) ;D I must say he is an excellent pianist aswell as a master guitarist...not to mention his voice!
com on MAn we need to hear more. I'm having a NE jones over here.
Hahha :P
I would love to take on a request if you have any....
Got some great feedback so far, man. Burnt this to a CD, along with some other tunes from here, for a long drive a couple weeks ago.
Quote from: Acoustick_NE on February 23, 2009, 06:05:10 PMI would love to take on a request if you have any....
Dunno if you like Seether or Egypt Central, but Egypt Central's "Home" seems to fit the style of some of your other posts. Def cool song...if you're still taking requests. Maybe a first for your MicroBRunit?! However, I realize that my request may be low-slot since you already did(professionally excellent) my previous Fuel request! :D :D
Yeah, thanks Mbrew!! It's so nice to hear positive feedback here! I really appreciate you guys!!
Now I'm gonna sound dumb-asking for a request, and...damn......... you've got me stumped---hah :o I've definately know who Seether is. I've heard and liked a few of there songs- including the 1 w/ Amy Lee of Evanecence. I don't listen to them on a regular basis by any means tho.
And I've never even heard of Egypt Central, but you got me interested.......I'll check into them ;D
That Fuel request was a lot of fun for me man---thank you for the (over-rated) compliment! Hahhahh!!
Wow, Central Egypt's sounds pretty cool from what I've heard so far...I found them here, if you're a fan you might want to check it out? I'm suprised I've never heard of them!!

No dumb comments as far as I can see, haha. To be honest, I don't know much about Egypt Central either. :( Finally bought their album after I had heard them on the radio and was crazy over it. "Home" is def cool. Sorta breaks ranks from their entire album style.
Hey....dude....the first song on that page, "You Make Me Sick".......I've heard it a million times!! Now I know who it is!!
Isn't that GREAT when that happens?! :D EUREKA!!!
Ok... everytime I come back to this board I have a new favorite... Man this is smooth... You have a great voice... very easy to listen to. Zak is also one of my fav guitar players/musicians... saw him with Ozzy when he finally got to play in San Antonio after being banned 10 years for peeing on the Alamo... That was a great show... After the show the band actually showed up to the after hours venue and I got to chat with Zak for a bit... He's also very cool guy. Anyhow... You totally just blew my mind...

Great production on this. I love the simple stereo lead guitar that gives a real haunting feel here. Nice singing as well.
Cheers,
Nigel
Thanks alot guys! Glad to hear from you....It would be very cool to meet Zakk- When my brother and I saw him in Omaha- we peeked in on his sound check/warm-up and he told my brother to "get the hell out here" or something to that effect :D Can't blame him I guess...It's never had a negative effect on my admiration of him. Thanks again guys!
I prefer this cover to the original version.
Spot on.
Love this song!

Wow...perfect on the Zakkster voice Kody. I do love everything Zakk has done but he has turned into a douche lately, but you nailed this one.
Ever need any guitar for his stuff just PM me. I know most of the pride & Glory CD...Awesome!!!
Brilliant..... i haven't heard any of your stuff for a long time Kody.... i'm glad i came across this one.
This is too good not to.... my gosh man...what a voice.... guitar players come a dime a dozen but a voice like that is rare....very rare.... just one complaint.... need some more man.... that lead is killer too
