It’s time to bang your heads, dear rock fans, as Zakk Wylde brings the King of the Monstours to the Regency Ballroom in San Francisco on Dec. 1.
The supremely talented rock guitarist, best known for his time supporting Ozzy Osbourne as well as for leading his own Black Label Society band, is fronting his awesome Black Sabbath tribute act — Zakk Sabbath — on this road show.
That means that fans can expect to hear some truly monumental covers of such great Black Sabbath cuts as “Iron Man,” “War Pigs,” “The Wizard,” “Solitude” and “Sweet Leaf.” All of those are tunes featured on Zakk Sabbath’s latest collection, “Greatest Riffs.”
Of course, there are a number of Sabbath tributes out there — and some of them are pretty good. But want separates Zakk Sabbath from the pack is the stellar guitar work of Wylde (who recently has been performing as part of Pantera as well). There are just very few people who handle these legendary Sabbath guitar parts better than Wylde. Indeed, the only name that immediately comes to mind is original riff-master himself, Tony Iommi.
Accompanying Zakk Sabbath on the King of the Monstours are two other acclaimed tribute acts — Zoso (Led Zeppelin tribute) and The Iron Maidens (all-female Iron Maiden tribute).
Sabbath, Led Zep and Maiden music all in one evening? Yeah, this is one show that metal fans definitely won’t want to miss.
Showtime is 7 p.m. and tickets are $39.50, axs.com.
