I shit you not. Here's how it went...


I went to the hat shop in downtown Montreal with my best-friend. I wanted to buy myself a 1940's Stetson (Humphrey Bogart style) and my friend bought himself a really great looking cowboy hat (hats actually work to draw the ladies' attention... and it makes something to talk about... and it protect your skull from the sun and rain... many many uses).

So after the hat shop, we walk out each wearing our new hat, drawing looks from everyone on the street. Perfect.

Now, my buddy, he owes me a beer from a wager we'd done at the gym - he'd said I'd never be able to pump a certain weight on the leg-press and, well, I did pump it. So there you go, he owes me a beer, and after the hat shop, we go out to a local bar. Nice place. We go there all the time.

So we get there, take a seat, order our beer. Then we see those 4 really big guys dressed in leather and jeans with long hair and big beards sitting at a table near us, making lots of noise and obviously having fun. We notice that their clothes are plastered with Black Label Society patches and shits. One of the guys gets up and heads to the bathroom. My friend is like, "Man, was that Zakk Wylde???" Indeed it was. BLS had a gig scheduled in Montreal 2 days later and they were hanging out in town in the meantime - we just happenned to bump into them - rock/metal music LEGENDS having a beer 6 feet away from us. AWESOME.

We don't say a word, we keep to ourselves. We figure, if we were them, we'd want to be left to ourselves like normal people. Having crowds of fans around you all the time can be a pain in the posterior. So we sit at our table, drinking our beer, eating fries and, most importantly, wearing our newly bought hats.

But then...

We see Zakk Wylde himself getting up and coming over to us, like steadily to us, straight line - no mistaking, he's coming to us. He grabs my friend (who's wearing the cowboy hat) and tells him to come over to his table and tell another BLS guy "DO YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH COWBOYS?!" And so he does. Hilarious.

They then go on talking about hockey and stuff. My friend comes back to our table - where I'd been sitting until then - and Zakk follows. We all shake hands, and then Zakk says, "You guys have nice hats." Okay, awesome. Zakk Wylde thinks we have nice hats. LOL!

We start chatting, folling around, Zakk and the other BLS guys are really great and a lot of fun. Zakk ends up buying my friend and me a beer. We look at each other, with a look that says, "Man, did Zakk Wylde really just buy us each a beer????!!!" FUCKIN AWESOME.

So we chat a bit more and all. Then Zakk sees my Thor's Hammer pendant and bellows, "THAT'S THE SHIT!!!" and then grabs my necklace and kisses it in a very juicy fashion. I don't even have time to wonder if Zakk Wylde had really just kissed my necklace that he's taking his Crusader Cross pendant in his hand and handing it over for me to kiss. And so I did. This being followed by a large hug and a major pat on the back.

We talk a bit more, with Zakk, with the other BLS guys, and then they have to leave. We give them the name and address of the best stripper club in town, shake hands, hug and pat on the back once more, say bye and they're gone.




So that's it... Zakk Wylde bought me a beer!!!

Awesome :)

Been reading lots of stories about Zakk Wylde's friendly public interaction.

Once read about a guy whose son was attending some Gibson guitar contest at a local music store. Zakk Wylde was there to hand the price guitar to the winner. Well, the writer's kid won the contest and pointed at a 'Gibson Custom Zakk Wylde Signature Les Paul', which obviously wasn't a part of the contest and the store owner had to tell the kid and Zakk, that he couldn't have that guitar. Zakk shouted at the store owner and eventually Zakk paid the guitar himself and handed it to the kid.
