Black Label Society ticket give away

Black Label Society at the Fillmore Silver Spring

Zakk Wylde and his band Black Label Society, along with Phil Anselmo and Down, are coming to the Fillmore Silver Spring on Sunday, May 4th, and since this show looks so damn good we’re giving away a free pair of tickets to it! To enter: leave a comment on this post telling me which band at this show you’re the most excited to see! Also appearing with BLS and Down is Devil You Know and the Butcher Babies. At 5pm EST this Friday, April 25th, a winner will be chosen at random (using Random.org) from all valid entries to receive two tickets to the show! Be sure to use a valid email you check regularly so I can contact you if you win. Don’t worry, I won’t add you to any spam lists or sell your info or anything sleazy like that. If I haven’t heard back from the winner in 24 hours another winner will be chosen at random. If you can’t wait to see if you win, or the contest is already over when you read this, then you can get tickets from right now for $43 (after fees) from Live Nation here.

Zakk Wylde is best known for being Ozzy Osbourne’s guitarist for many years but his personal band, Black Label Society has made a name for itself by following their motto: strength, determination, merciless, forever. Their acclaim is no surprise when you’ve got a guitar player as talented as Zakk is! But let’s not forget Down, the New Orleans band that Pantera vocalist Phil Anselmo currently rages in. Their southern style of stoner/doom/sludge is a perfect pairing with BLS. Also appearing on the tour is Devil You Know, the Los Angeles based band featuring Howard Jones of Killswitch Engage on vocals. The opening support for this stop on the Revolver Golden Gods tour comes from the Butcher Babies. Be sure to check out these killer new tunes by all the bands playing the show and tell me what your favorite band on the bill is in the comments!

Black Label Society- Zakk rules, tho in his old age/post Dime murder era he’s gotten a bit softer and more Octane

I’m most excited for BLS because Zakk Wylde’s probably my biological father, so I gotta say hi to daddy.

Excited to see all! But, I saw my first Ozzy concert more than 20 years ago at the old Capital Center in Largo, MD. I think it was 1986/87? and 2 buddies and I didn’t have tix so we drove a few hours and scored great seats from a scalper about 15 rows from the stage. Anthrax opened and I believe Zakk had just started playing for Ozzy. Ozzy looked like a stiff board the entire show and we thought he was fucked up and at first we were a little pissed. (We found out later that he’d just had a hernia surgery less than a month earlier). We knew that Jake just left the band and didn’t know much about Ozzy’s new guitarist. I remember this long blonde hair dude towering over everyone and honestly had no idea who he was. After the first few songs, we were blown away. Once Zakk started wailing on his guitar my buddies and I just looked at each other and smiled, no words were needed. Zakk literally stole the show and I’ve been a huge fan ever since. Even though his acting sucked in Rock Star (lol) he’s never failed to bring the house down. I’d love to surprise my wife, also a huge fan, with tickets for our 23rd wedding anniversary. Bring it on!

Down… I cant believe I haven’t seen them live and I like all their stuff.

Big Down fan, but I’ve only ever seen Zakk Wylde playing for Ozzy. So I definitely want to see BLS.
