In this ultimate guide to Heavy Metal, the wild prankster and guitar god of Ozzy Osbourne and Black Label Society fame invites all who dare onto the tour bus for tales of glory, debauchery, and general mayhem "This is Berzerker and proud American Zakk Wylde from the Los Angeles Chapter of the Black Label Society (BLS) and Ozzy Osbourne band, coming to you with the new scripture for touring worldwide. You lucky mother****ers are gonna learn what it takes to tear through shows on the road in pure Black Label fashion, rollin' through hell and destroying everything in your path. Get ready to find out what it takes to be a True Rocker, to withstand the alcohol-fueled brewtality on the road, and to maintain a sexy ass so that your old lady doesn't ditch you for some f***ing douche bag while you're out busting your mother***ing nuts on tour." In Bringing Metal to the Children, twenty-five-year music veteran Zakk Wylde, the master of fantastical excess, shares what it takes to be a true Berzerker, including a True Rocker Test that reveals if fans are Berzerker-worthy or poseur tools. For those with admirable scores, he offers lurid examples of Metal excess, telling road stories about wild nights and backstage havoc with many of Heavy Metal's Gods-Rob Zombie, Slash, Alice in Chains bassist Mike Inez, Skid Row guitarist Dave "Snake" Sabo, Metallica's Lars Ulrich, and of course the Godfather of heavy metal, Ozzy Osbourne. From recording a Metal record to setting up a shooting range on the tour bus, this is the greatest speculative and truly dangerous rock 'n' roll road show every Metal Head must have. less

In the two decades since Ozzy Osbourne hired him away from his job at a New Jersey gas station to become his new guitarist, Zakk Wylde has established himself as a guitar icon known and revered the world over. Writing and recording with Osbourne led to multi-platinum success, inspiring him to create the now legendary Black Label Society in 1998. In the decade since, BLS has turned the notion of what a rock band should be upside down, inspiring legions of fans (known as Berzerkers) all over the world to follow the mantra: Strength, Determination, Merciless, Forever-SDMF for short. The Berzerkers, with Wylde as their leader, have created a heavy metal institution true to his vision of uncompromising, unfiltered, and unrestrained rock and roll. Wylde has won nearly every guitar award imaginable, and is a major influence on a new battalion of rock guitarists currently popular today. One thing is for certain: wherever Zakk Wylde's Black Label Society travels, brutality is sure to follow. less
