People mentionned Zakk Wylde but do you a favor and get his Pride and Glory album which is by far his best work ever.
He wasn't yet ino his de-evolution period into a biker, caveman, alcoholic and his head was still in the music and it shows.
Now Zakk thinks that every riff he writes has to be on a record and that 's a shame because I am sure if he tried harder , Black Label albums could be so much better.
The guy is very talented but his ego and driniking problem are undermining him.
Killer 70's production, very live, killer tunes, best singing he ever did, killer solos, and his band is cooking (great rythm section), Elton john ballads
I love this album so much.
The first Down is also a classic.
And Pantera has clearly southern vibes hidden here and there in Dime's licks and his brother Vinne's Texas Shuffle grooves.
