Am I the only one that thinks this band is just terrible? The only thing I like is the rhythm guitar, it has as good tone. I was never a fan of Zakk's lead playing at all. And the singer sound like an Axel Rose wannabe, and Axel has the worst voice ever recorded anyway.

Just ranting, but my opinion is these guys just blow. Anyone else agree?

I thought Zakk Wylde was the singer for BLS, or did they get someone else now? I like some of their stuff...Zakk Wylde is what annoys me. I don't know, it seems like he overplays the deep voice and talking like he can't move his lips or something, I don't think he used to talk like that (I liked Zakk a lot when he first came out with Ozzy about 20 years ago), but I may be mistaken...but then again, I haven't kept up with BLS for the last few years cause I just got tired of the make-believe biker gang stuff...

The Sling Blade voice is irritating. I really don't like him as a person. The band however, although there is some talent, doesn't do it for me. Stillborn is a good jam though.

+1 I saw a pic of him when he was with Ozzy, and he was clean shaven, and sported the Randy Rhodes look. Then, all of the sudden he gets his band and *POOF*
Now he's a biker.......
So If he gets a new band, whats next?

I Love BLS..I think it is the only fresh breath of air in the Metal world today…I do prefer the older Pride and Glory (southern rock styling) stuff…I do agree the Biker gang thing is kinda’ over done..I think Zakk is a super guitarist and with a shower and a shave may even look presentable.. I could stand to do without having to hear a pinch harmonic squeal every 5 notes. At least it is not as much as it was in the ozzy years 88-91 where it was a squeal every 3d note……anyway just my opinion for your thread…..keep on rocking Guy’s………… & Gals….

I got a few CDs from a friend, and have been listening to them - TRYING to like them. I just can't. The singing is like nails on a chalkboard to me. I just hear a serious over-Axel-ing on the vocals, but even worse. The music is just generic hard rock to me, with a good hi-gain rhythm guitar tone. His solos just don't do anything for me. Fast? Sure, but what he's playing is just garbage to me.

If it weren't "Ozzy's guitar player" in this band, I don't think they'd honestly be popular at all. Not that they really are now anyway...

No of course not, but I'm saying the man himself, from what I've gathered, read, and seen.

I've heard almost every recording with Zakk on them, and he was alright, back in the 80's/early 90's. I really don't care for the newest BLS stuff. The last BLS CD sounded like what a hell's angel would play on his wedding night. Yuck. There was one early BLS effort that was hard to listen to because the production values were so crappy. I forgot what the title of it was.
I liked him best on Ozzy's No Rest For The Wicked and No More Tears records. After that, the ...riff, riff, pinch harmonic, riff, pinch harmonic, riff, pentatonic solo, riff, pinch harmonic, riff... formula got old fast.

Never really been a fan of Zack, however he did a good job in the movie "Rock Star".

I actually like BLS. Of course I couldn't listen to it all day every day but when I'm in the mood it's pretty good stuff.
