Spoon87 Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 So, yesterday I ordered "Pride & Glory", Zakk Wyldes first soloalbum and I want to know what you guys and girls think of this album.I haven't heard a thing off it yet, I just ordered it after I read some reviews which sounded like this could be an album I could really dig.I also love Black Label Societys "Hangover Music Vol. 6", so I hope "Pride & Glory" has some songs like it? Or am I way off?Even if it's not a thing like "Hangover Music Vol. 6", I'm sure I'll like it, also because of Zakk's awesome voice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Me Scandar Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 I've heard a couple of songs by Pride & Glory, and if you're into Southern Rock, your in for a treat. "Machine Gun Man" is spectacular. From what I've heard from BLS, they dont sound a bit alike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moreblack Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 P&G and Book Of Shadows is my favorite projects that Zakk has ever done. Shame there was just one album each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F*ck Fear Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 I totally dig Pride And Glory. Although, I do listen to Black Label Society more so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuffle Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 I really like Pride & Glory, very good album. Book of Shadows (Zakk solo) is good too but I'm not a big fan of Black Label Society, although they're pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoon87 Posted January 8, 2009 Author Share Posted January 8, 2009 I think I'm going to be able to give a fair review tomorrow when I've listen to the album in full, after the comments here I'm fairly positive that I'm really going to like it! Thanks! To everyone who said they don't like BLS, let me get this straight, I haven't heard a single song from them that isn't on Hangover Music Vol.6, so I don't really know what they're normally like, but Hangover Music Vol.6 is an album full of mostly amazingly mellow, really beautiful ballads with mainly piano, acoustic guitar, some kickass riffage here and there and Zakks supercool voice! You really should check this out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuffle Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 I kinda like Hangover Music too but it's not really representative of BLS, they're usually a lot heavier - much more metal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inthisriver Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 I honestly haven't listened to too much BLS, but I think I might pick up Zakk's new record and the other one you mentioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
