At Home With Zakk Wylde: Ozzy Stories, New Music & Doing What You Love
Chocolate chip banana bread (still warm), coffee, and one of the most legendary guitarists in rock sitting in my kitchen. 🍌🍞🎸
In this intimate home hang, I welcome Zakk Wylde of Black Label Society founder, Ozzy Osbourne’s longtime guitarist, and a true force in music for a conversation that’s as raw, funny, and heartfelt as he is.
From life on the road to loss, legacy, and everything in between, Zakk shows up exactly as you’d hope: honest, grounded, and completely himself.
Zakk opens up about:
⚡️ His new album and the long road to finishing it
⚡️ Why this record took years — and how time changed the music
⚡️ The balance between heavy riffs and deeply personal ballads
⚡️ Writing “Ozzy’s song” and honoring one of the most important relationships of his life
⚡️ Grief, gratitude, and what it means to truly cherish the time you have with people
⚡️ His first audition with Ozzy — and the advice that changed everything
⚡️ Life on tour, staying physically and mentally strong, and the discipline behind it
⚡️ Marriage, family, and what keeps a relationship strong after decades
