(Gibson) Zakk Wylde was roasted at Guitar World's Rock and Roll Roast at City National Grove of Anaheim on January 19.Rolling Stone reports Wylde was targeted by Corey Taylor, Duff McKagan, Anthrax's Scott Ian, Chris Jericho and others. Taylor told Rolling Stone: "We've all known each other for a while, we all love each other. So let's just rip the crap out of each other."
Sharon Osbourne was happy to host the event and explained that she's known Zakk for many years. She said: "I've known him since he was 18. He calls me 'mom,' and I feel like his mom. So I can be disrespectful, horrible, mean to him for two hours and get away with it."
Since Ozzy was unable to make the event, because he's busy working on the new Black Sabbath album, Sharon passed on his thoughts about Zakk. "Ozzy is very proud of Zakk – very, very proud. He's proud of the man he's become – he's sober and fabulous."
