Zakk Wylde is simply one the best guitarist ever! honestly this dude a beast!.

"Mountain" is the band that made this song a huge hit in 1970.

His first professional job was being OZZY'S new guitar player at the age of 18.. Another GREAT job!

Nothing better than the soothing sound of an acoustic guitar.

Zack Wylde did a cover of Black Sabbath's N.I.B. for Loudwire that is also amazing. "Zakk Wylde Plays Black Sabbath on Hello Kitty Mini-Guitar"

And that epic performance was done on an acoustic guitar 🎸. Zakk is one of the greats.

Zakk is one of the best out there. He tours with guitar gods regularly. Now that show is a trip up guitar lane! ❤️❤️❤️. If you check out Ozzy video for No More Tears, you can see Zakk in his element!

I love the cover Zach Wylde did by Mountain on this song. He shredded the guitar. And if you didn’t know, this is Ozzy Osbourne’s guitarist. Also, dime bag Darrell from Pantera was Zack‘s best friend. Welcome to Zack Wyldes world.

Must of us 50's babies heard the Rock Band "Mountain" perform this song on the radio and thought it was Great.......but this version of the song not bad.....and Zakk Wyld playing this song the way he deliver it FIRE!!!!! I think he is one of the Best Guitar players in he Business.....however......see Mountain perform this on their album....long version pretty similar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Zack is one of the greatest I saw him live once in a tribute to Jimi Hendrix along with Kenny Wayne Shepard and others. Zack came up the isle and was standing 10 ft. away from me while playing.

The song was written by Corky Laing (lyrics), a Canadian, and Leslie West (music), a Yankee from New York. As far from Mississippi as you can get!

Wife here..Hey "Texas Queen"..Try the original...from the band Moutain ...,as others have suggested.,.. I think you both would 💘 love it!!..Zack with Ozzy Osbourne is really great!!..Yes BJ..South Rock Vibe!!...Awesome!!..

Hell yes!More cowbell please!😁Now I see what my boyfriend been talking about.He mentions Zakk Wylde alot.

Mississippi Queen ! Originally from the band Mountain. Lesley West was the guitarist - may he Rest in peace. Zakk Wylde is a great great guitarist who played with Ozzy Osbourne for a while and then Zakk's own band Black label Society - alot of great music there as well.

Zakk Wylde, one of the most legendary guitar players ever! 🍻

Zakk did an awesome job! Great video and take! Awesome guitarist!

That was an awesome tribute to Leslie West of Mountain.👏🏼👏🏼👍🏼

Edgar and Johnny Winter playing TOBACCO ROAD. Get on board with these soulful brothers, who masterfully work the devil out of several instruments. You WILL be impressed.

Zakk been my #1 fav guitarist for 20 years now. I remember seeing him live on Ozzfest with his band Black Label Society AND he was Ozzy's guitarist for years, too. He the badassiest of them all. Yes there's guys with better technique perhaps, but Zakk has a nasty grimy badass style to him that destroy people around him. Fun facts - in the Rock Band World Tour game (the one that added drums and mic and bass to the guitar), you Unlock Zakk as a bandmate towards the end of the tour and his avatar joins and plays with you. So cool. I remember watching American Idol many years ago with my wife- the year James Durbin was on, he came out and did a rock song (don't remember which), and Zakk came out on stage with him, and I nearly fell out of my chair "WTF? THAT ZAKK WYLDE!! LIKE REALLY ZAKK". I remember I sounded like a little kid, but I was so shocked and excited and had no idea.

O-M-G!!! This cover is 🔥 🔥 🔥. That gutair solo is sic. Always loved this version

*LOL....Asia, between 12m and 12m20s, you are so adorable during the "What y'all...how...how did he even...what did he just...how did you even...dang."* ♥'d it.

Zap wylde is monster. His band black label society is incredible amazing songs. 🔥

Welcome the man Mr. Zakk Wylde, he was and is in Ozzy ‘s band for over 20 years, His band is Black Label Soceity…. Dig in y’all!!! P.S. This was a cover song from Mountain, but Zakk also plays the piano amazing and sings so good…!!

Try the original by a group called Mountain. That's the real shit!

Yall gonna have to give Zakk Wylde more reactions..Black Label Society and when he was a 19 yr old teenager playing for Ozzy Osbourne. 1st album was No Rest for the Wicked No More Tears And the Live and Loud is epic

The fact that this man commanded the stage while sittin on his azz and on an acoustic he’s amazing

One of the greatest guitar performances ever. Saw him multiple times on The Hendrix Experience Tours . Certified badass in Black Label Society and Ozzy"s gig as well..... you got homework to do

Zakk kicks ass. Remember, this is live..and...he's doing that on an acoustic guitar...

Black Label Society is a great band!

That man can play. I have seen them all play and he might just be the best. My first time hearing him ever. I have listened all from the sixties to now. Blew me away.. love you guys listen to you every night.

😂❤😂”I forgot this was a song!” Just one of the reasons y’all are loved.😂

I met Zakk at a guitar clinic in DC probably 15 years ago. He’s super down to earth and a very nice and funny guy. In my opinion he’s in the top 5 guitarists currently active. His work with Ozzy and Black Label Society is amazing. He also recently started his own guitar brand called Wylde Audio.

Zakk is a shred guy that plays mostly out of the 5 tone scales (pentatonic), vs. many shredders that use the 7 tone scales, or modes. He was also one of Ozzy's guitar players.

I’m just as impressed with the drums as I am the guitar!

Went to Hooters before going to see Zak and BLS and Zak and the rest of the band were eating at the table next to us. Super cool guy, once he got through eating, he took pictures with anybody who wanted a pic and signed autographs too.

Black Label Society - In this River. Tremendous tribute to his talented friend taken from us all too soon. Zakk is an amazing musician.

He got a BADASS solo on Ozzy's No More Tears. You gotta check it out

If you are doing Zakk you need to do his metal southern rock band Pride & Glory

"In This River" 🙏

Zakk is an absolute beast on the guitar by any measure ! 🎸🔥

After Randy Rhoads and his follow up, Jake E. Lee, Zakk took over in Ozzy Osbourne’s band. An east coast guitar player, he joined at 19 years old from New Jersey. I saw him play downtown here in Manhattan with his side group, Pride and Glory, in the early ‘90s. His chicken-picking style always set him apart from the rest of the guitarists of that period. And don’t forget the singing, as well. I always thought that Randy Rhoads and Jake were better players, but Zakk did an excellent job next to them. Dimebag Darrell (the great) was his partner-in-crime back then. Big shout to the phenomenal Gus G. for playing excellent guitar with Ozzy, too!! RIP. Great choice, Asia and BJ!!

He played with ozzy , and was In The band “pride and glory “ but he has been doing great in “ Black Label Society “ for awhile . Saw him live right before Covid started and it was my teen daughters favorite show until she went to 5fdp , Three days grace , and Badwolves . We ended 2019 with great shows and are looking forward to seeing live bands again .

Zakk Wylde is the greatest guitarist of all time in my book!!! He was the lead guitarist for Ozzy Osbourne for many years and has his own band called Black Label Society. Please react to Zakk Wylde Voodoo Child w/Les Paul Trio. Its the same group you seen with Mississippi Queen. Its even more amazing than Mississippi Queen. PLEASE react to it!!!

I've been following him for a while and I love his stuff. The man can shred. It's interesting here how he gives this cover the Jimi Hendrix treatment only it's like Jimi Hendrix on steroids plus some fusion jazz thrown in. And Zach can certainly tear up Jimi Hendrix like nobody's business that's for sure. But he chooses to use that wah pedal instead of a slide which even reinforces that more. BUT ... this was more or less a beloved iconic old early 70s hard rock song that he just used as a vehicle to showcase his mind-blowing ability. And I think it is also a loving tribute, honestly. And I love how present the piano is and the interplay with the cowbell. If there was one thing I ever lamented about the original it's that I wish that the honky tonk piano had been a bit more in the mix. Still, I can't remember if you guys have covered the original by Mountain? But if not, even if you don't react to it, you totally owe it to yourself to see why he would pay tribute to this legendary song. I have heard many fine covers of it but to this day, I have never ever heard one that packs the same wall of just raw power and character. They always end up sounding a bit anemic in comparison. I think it's just impossible to duplicate. Here it is. It is way way way too short at around 2 minutes long. And if you can catch all the lyrics, it's got a lot of specific references to look how like down around Vicksburg, and so forth, but it's actually a hilarious song. He manages to snag the highly sought-after Cajun Mississippi Queen and he's loving it but then he finds himself working his ass off to buy her all the things she needs to keep herself looking pretty and be a queen, 😃 m.kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jMiAZ9SXnbbOln0.html

Zakk is amazing! The man plays the piano too and he may be as good on keys as he is on guitar! His hands are touched by the gods!

This guy is among the greatest! Why is he not recognized? Overlooked superstar!

I love Zak, but the original by Mountain is 🔥.

My favorite clip for Mississippi Queen. Excellent guitar playing! Never get sick of this one.

Best version everrrrr!! Never heard an acoustic SHREDDED like that!!!

I think this was from the tribute to Les Paul and that's his band playing with Zakk. Anton Fig (David Letterman, Joe Bonnamassa) on the drums.

That show was at the Iridium jazz club on Broadway near Times Square. Les Paul had a steady gig there almost right up until his death at age 94.

You're going to have to redo this one and do the version by the band called Mountain. Now don't get me wrong because they are killing it but it hits differently with Mountain.

Btw ... That elderly fellow is THE Great Les Paul ....

his acoustic version of Stillborn is awesome

Wow bad ass. Everything vocals, guitar, drums awwwwwwsome.

the old man is The Legendary Les Paul... and the Girl on bass is Les's daughter

One thing that is impressive though is he got that sound out of an acoustic guitar!

Zack has been around. Played for Ozzy for several years as well as solo music and with his band Black Lable Society one of the best.....he is a beast

Anton Fig on the drums and Nicki Parrott on bass, everybody is just KILLIN' IT! 👍😎😁

Gotta give the lady playing that bass her flowers too!

That “southern” sound comes courtesy of Leslie West, a nice Jewish kid from New York City who was born Leslie Abel Weinstein. Who woulda thunk it? 🤣

😎 I love Zakk Wylde, I first heard of him when he played with Ozzy. Then his own band Black Lable Society. This was great. Thank you. I'll be back just like I never left.

😮 WTF? I’ve been playing guitar for over30 years! I have never heard an acoustic guitar sound like that!! It’s must be some stuff I never heard about. That pickup in the sound hole!?? 🤯 Mind Blown!

Now you need to see In This River (Live)

Glad someone is getting into Zak and his music....AWESOME

Leslie West and Mountain made this song famous. Mountain's version is still the definitive version to my ears.

Zakk played guitar for Ozzy. He’s huge and performs in a kilt. Awesome

I just recently saw his band Black Label Society (With the incredible Obituary opening) and both he and his co-guitarist were absolute shredders. They play the same style of old rock/metal that he plays here. I am more of a death metal guy, but you just have to stand in awe of shredders like Zakk when you get to see them.

Being in my 60's I still favor the "Mountain" version of this song. Great 👍 selection guys.

The original Mountain song is killer, but this takes that killer song to the next level.

This is actually a cover of a song by a band called Mountain. This song goes way back.

Hmmmmm….. this cover of Mountains classic feels like I ate shrimp etouffee without Tabasco sauce! 😂. Accept no substitute. - Glen Frey. Eagles When Hell Freezes Over Tour.

I'm surprised the guitar 🎸 didn't catch on 🔥! 😲 WOW

In this river , live . Zakk Wylde guitar playing is so emotional.

If you guys wanna trip out on watching the fastest fingers on Earth! Watch his hand visually get blurry to the eyes. Truly Incredible you have to react to Zack Wilde Low rider!!!!!

WTH I grew up with the version by the group Mountain? This dude was insane and the drummer and bass was kicking’ ass. YIKES I’ll have to look him up . That’s what I love the old tunes remind me and discovering new ones with you two awesome folks ! ☮️🙏🏼❤️

WOW! 70"---thanks! memories!

Zakk Wyldes band Black Label Society deos a tribute song to Dimebag Darrel Abbott from Pantera, it is called In This River. Check out the live version. Your welcome 8)

I guarantee it's not the 1st time you've heard Zakk play. He plays league guitar for Ozzy Osborne and Black Label Society various side projects and tours with the greatest guitar players to date

Ahhhh yeah now we roll’n on a river!!!

GOT TO HEAR THE ORIGINAL..BAND CALLED MOUNTAIN...STILL GREAT REACTION MY GUYS ..LOVE YA ...

Playing an acoustic guitar is much more difficult than electric, thicker strings and higher off the fretboard ..Zakk is a monster!

On an acoustic guitar. Utterly ridiculous and out of this world lol! 🔥

he is a great guitarhero for sure, maybe top 20 ever, a real metal god

This Song Was Used in The Soundtrack of The Original Movie Vanishing Point From 1971 !!

Seriously?...I've never seen this ....that's insane to have that much power and control on those strings....I'm in Awe😇

Master Guitarist at work. My late Brother, Jeremy's, favorite guitarist.

This is great. But now you need to hear the original by the guy who wrote it. Mountain is the band, Leslie West (RIP) is the guitarist and singer who is a giant influence on Zakk Wylde.

Asia is a huge Joe Bonamassa fan. I'm a little surprised she didn't recognize that Joe's drummer, Anton Fig, is the drummer in this video and one of the best drummers on the planet.

I really enjoy watching you guys play in southern rock, because you get it it's rock blues country all together and they're saying from some experience or some stories and just follow along too bad they don't do that in today's world the feeling part thank you for your reaction

Hahaaa...ya'll obviously dont know who your watchin!!! Zakk shreds with the best of'em,awesome reaction...awesome jam!!

Please do the original version by a band called Mountain- You’ll see the difference- for sure- 💖💙

When people argue about who the best guitarist in Metal is Zakk's name is always on the ballot sheet.

Zakk has another band called The Black Label Society. He has also played in Ozzy's band. He was the replacement for Randy Rhodes.

They Rocked out this cover song by Mountain 🏔 🎸🤘guitar Hero classic

My left hand got a cramp watching that LoL!!

This was my favorite song on Rock Band.

Asia n BJ awsome Zakk ive seen 10 times from Ozzy to his group BLS Great Guy n Guitar player

To see Zakk with Ozzy in 1988, one that shows how he used to be, is "No More Tears" video. It's pretty amazing. I saw them that year with a band called Great White, and a female metal band. Lita Ford or maybe Vixen? Zakk was maybe 20? and played Randy Rhoads perfect and their new stuff. He's always been a crazy natural player (also, one might be better ignored in this video haha)

It's one thing to shred on an eletric, but acoustic is hard enough , this is Insane.
