Zakk Wlyde Planning Kids Book Dubbed "Bible Of Stupidity"

Zakk Wylde is known for many things, most of them relating to music or being an all-around badass. His latest endeavor has the Black Label Society frontman storming the literary world with what he calls the ‘Bible of Stupidity.’


Wylde spoke at length about his next unexpected project, his delayed literary debut ‘Bringing Metal to the Children,’ which is expected sometime in 2012:

“A new literary masterpiece up there with Gone with the Wind. It’s basically a literary bible of stupidity. (laughs) Me and (co-author) Eric (Hendrikx) were writing the thing, we were just laughing our balls off when we were writing some of this stuff. A lot of the situations are really real. It’s me talking about a lot of real situations that have actually happened and talking about how ridiculous the music business is. The whole thing is, you’ve got your posters of Jimmy Page up on the wall and Randy Rhoads and Eddie Van Halen and Jimi Hendrix, Frank Marino, Robin Trower—all my favorite guys—and you practice your balls off ‘til your fingers and your hands are bleeding to hone your craft, and anything after that just basically goes down the s—ter. It’s one rude wakeup call after another.”

Zakk is currently planning an upcoming DVD featuring stripped down acoustic-based performances of BLS tunes — what he refers to as “Unblackened” — with some electric guitar leads, guest appearances, and a string section. Based on his prior statements, we expect that the long-planned project will materialize at some point in 2012.
