(Gibson) Zakk Wylde, guitar legend and Black Label Society frontman, has been promoting his new book Bringing Metal to the Children.The book begins with Wylde's "true rocker test" (TRT), in which the reader must answer and self-score 10 questions to determine if he is a true rocker and should continue reading, or if he's just a complete "tool" who needs to hand the book to someone more metal. There are plenty of epic stories about life on the road, using his Black Label Society coaching techniques to instruct the reader on proper touring hygiene, pre-concert preparations and post-show etiquette.
The road stories include wild nights with many of Wylde's peers, including Rob Zombie, Eddie Van Halen, Dimebag Darrell, Mike Inez, Snake Sabo, Lars Ulrich, professional wrestlers Chris Jericho, Bubba Dudley and Stone Cold Steve Austin and, of course, Ozzy Osbourne. more on this story
