Friday Top 10: Best looking guitars

That’s right people… It’s that time again… You know, where I rate instruments by their appearance and you all get pissed off.

This is the follow-up to my very popular Friday Top 10 about ugly guitars. I was supposed to write this last week, but it was April 1st so we decided to do something special for that day.

But now, without further ado, make the jump and get ready for my very biased opinions!

Metal Trek

Fantastic news for “Trekkies” and not so much Metal fans this week. Star Trek actor, William Shatner will be covering Black Sabbath‘s Iron Man on his upcoming album, with Zakk Wylde providing the riffage.

I’ve got to be honest, I had no fucking idea that Shatner was recording an album. And I would have liked to keep it that way. Now my day is ruined. Want your day ruined too? Read more here.

Zakk Wylde shits on his book

A couple of days ago, I told you that Zakk Wylde is going to release his book ‘Bringing Metal to the Children’ on May 10. Now, 2 days ago Zakk posted 2 promotional videos on YouTube and I got to admit, they’re pretty funny.

Check out the videos after the jump.

Zakk Wylde isn’t illiterate

No really, he isn’t. Not like I ever claimed that he is but hey, just setting the record straight here. The guy looks like a viking-gone-biker (I won’t call him a redneck, nope) but he knows how to handle a pen just as good as his guitar. Or a laptop. Or whatever.

So after this disastrous intro, you still don’t know what this article is about, right? Right. That was the plan. I wanted to see how far I can stretch this without saying anything basically and you’re still reading so I guess, I win.

Oh yeah, the news… Zakk Wylde is writing a book. Seriously. It’ll be called ‘Bringing Metal to the Children’. Read the press release more here. At least they know how to cut to the cheese. I don’t. I’m lactose intolerant.

Dancing With The [middle-aged rock]Stars

Stop the [word]presses! Zakk Wylde is apparently campaigning to get on ‘Dancing With The Stars.’ Oh say it isn’t so.

“Black Label Society ear-smasher and all-around badass Zakk Wylde is looking for your support. No, Ozzy Osbourne’s former main man isn’t looking to headline Donington or crash the Big Four tour. Instead, the hirsute hellion is angling to be the latest celebrity to brave the perils of ABC’s Dancing with the Stars program. Yes, according to his MySpace page, Zakk just wants to dance.

Fans are encouraged to visit ABC.com to cast their vote for what would surely be the most entertaining hour of television… ever.“

I hope this is either a hoax or Zakk drank more Johnnie Walked Black Label than usual and tried to be funny.
