Zakk Wylde has lost credibility, DANGEROUSLY

I don't know much about My Darkest Days but allying him self with Ludacris (a meh rapper) and CHAD KROEGER from nickelback???!?!? Zakk.... No..... T_T Please tell me that I am not the only who is offended by this.

Honestly, who cares?

I do or else I wouldn't have ranted on it. Zakk Wylde is one of my favorite shred style guitarists and he teams up with Justine Beaver's friend and Chad Kroeger??? Disgusting and he was the one that called Limp Biskit a bunch of "wiggers" and now he's selling out.

Selling out is usually nothing bad really, did he play good on the record? Then everything's fine right?

Yeah his playing is good but who he's with isn't. Imagine Kirk Hammett with Avril Leveine wouldn't you be a tad pissed? It's like getting Dimebag (RIP) to play with the Jonas Brothers. It's just wrong.

Kirk and his buddies sold out years ago dude. Didn't you get the memo or something?

I don't even care.

Yeah, well aware of that. In that case, 80s Metallica.

Kerry King from Slayer made a cameo in a Sum 41 music video mind you this was when Sum 41 started selling out and sounded like shit but I like their early work but this was just bullshit.

Nowadays a band/artist can't do shit without having half their fanbase crying "BAAWW SELLOUT!!"...
So what if he did do whatever he did with that rapper, he probably had a good time, and why shouldn't he be allowed that?

Ridiculous...

Would neither be very surprised or pissed by it, they're just doing their thing. No one is forcing them to collaborate.

...would YOU turn down the ridiculous amounts of money he's gonna make on this song to please a bunch of whiny bitch fans like you ?...i think not ,everyone sells out at some point these days ,and if they don't they never reach true commercial success

Sigh, it seems I am getting nothing but attacked for having an individual opinion. I don't care how many insults come out the woodwork, I still don't like it one bit. I should really start listening to indie then. Yes, he is making money, feeding his family and paying the bills but that's my problem. The music industry is now just a money making machine instead of an art. It sickens me that people are in the music industry for just money.

And here i thought your problem was that a hardrocker was featured in a video that ain't hardrock, and with a rapper and a popstar.
HA! Pretty preposterous right? cuz i mean that just couldn't happen, since he plays heavy music i mean, and they're like not heavy, at all.

Im sure he got a ton of money for that too, since Zakk is like super well known, and has a huge amount of fans that'll appreciate this video

No the money argument was against Shinji_Ikari. Zakk can do as he wants (Again I don't care I still hate it, respect my opinion). It seems like a good majority wouldn't mind if Dimebag started to do a collaboration with the Jonas Bros *shrug* >_>. Jeez KLown I don't see why you are so belligerent anyway. If anything I should look at this as a slightly positive manner. Hopefully if someone as kick ass as Zakk Wylde (don't worry he's still a good guitarist) will run off as someone as overrated as Chad Kroeger, and the meh Ludacris (Justin Beiber's friend. Klown at what point do you see a band/group as a sell out anyway?

No, that would suck. But if he had felt like doing that one time for fun, and it had affected Pantera in no way or the other, then why would i have a problem with it?
I don't have the right to tell him what to do or who to play with.



I don't get this. It seems cut off mid-sentence.



When they change their sound for the money obviously, but not when they change their sound because they want to try something new.

Im probably one of the few that didn't think Metallica sold out with Load/ReLoad, as i really don't see the logic in calling them sell out's when they created an experimental album that they didn't know how fans would react to instead of just make another Black Album and sell another 25 millions of that.

I am not sure how to quote individual sentences or points so I'll number each point you made.

1.Yeah it's understandable if Zakk did it for fun. I shouldn't shut him out for doing this (hopefully once, don't get me wrong I still think that Chad and Luda are bad to mediocre). Hell, Zakk is still one bad ass motherfucker of a guitarist so he can do as he wants (I am not going to approve every decision he makes but that's the good thing about individuality)

2.I was worried about that being worded wrong as well. What I was saying was being around Zakk will rub off on Chad and Ludacris causing them to become slightly more talented. It's like Disney buying Marvel. You see a lot of people see this as a tragic event but you have to look at it in a positive light. What if you see Wolverine in the next Kingdom Hearts? Kind of went off on a tangent there. If this is a one time collaboration between the musicians it probably won't happen though.

3.Now I see why you were so upset about me calling Zakk a sellout. You were referencing Metallica. I wouldn't like it if a band rehashed their material either (which is why I don't like Nickelback). It's good that you would call a musician a sellout if money was involved. If Zakk wanted to try something new to avoid becoming stale, cool beans. But, with something like "Porn Star Dancing" I can not bring myself to liking it.

I actually agree with u, i dont think zakk should lower himself to that lvl, and stop putting out his/her opinion and trashing it, its got a good point, when you look at it as more of this happens more and more people who really like his music have a wrong view on it which is understandable. I mean after all he is claimed one of the best guitarists, even if he did it for money its surely not like he hasnt got enough of it (thou im well aware that cose of downloading and stuff they get less from it). Imagine ur fav artist would join forces with some lame faggot like justin beiber, i mean the reason is obvious why someone would get pissed, its for the money, ok i approve, but that doesnt make her/his statement wrong. Its something individual and it should be respected. If you wanna troll there is IB so go enjoy yourself, id be pissed if hendrix wouldve been alive and stained his music with some lame ass shit. No offense all of your statements are right, but she/he has a point.
