You may be pulling from different influences because of different things that are going on in your life, different people that are around you and more experiences to pull from.
That's why for Zakk Wylde's Black Label Society the colors are black and white. There are no gray issues. Life is black and it's white. There's no in-between.
Feelings such as loneliness, longing or love are sometimes hard to put into words; maybe that's why we all love music, because it resonates with something we can't share.
I love songs because by nature they are concise; they sum up. I try to use as few words as possible. It's usually funnier that way, anyway.
People ask about love. Real love. I was never in love; the people around me didn't love me. They were just along for the ride.
There's music to dance to and make love to, music to cry to. I'm starting from scratch, coming fresh. But my sound still embodies the same soulful, intricate harmonies.
Yeah, touring can get rough some times and draining, but I always have to pinch myself and realize that I'm doing what I love.
The first time I toured the U.K. was in the early '90s with Billy Pilgrim, so I know how much the people there love music.
I love horror movies in space. I love it when the genre switches over and what was sci-fi becomes horror.
Before 'Idol,' I was lost... Now, I've actually followed through with something. I am a better man for it!

I was so frustrated in Sabbath after the last few albums. I just didn't like the musical direction Sabbath was going in.
To throw a shoe at a man in Dundee is the equivalent of a kiss on the cheek and an embrace in London. Dundee is a very different place; they have their own rules.
We partied with the royal rich people, and we felt like rock stars. We drank all the whiskey in the place.
I never had long hair before I got busted. I never had a beard before I got busted.
Remorse for what? You people have done everything in the world to me. Doesn't that give me equal right?
We rely more on enthusiasm than actual skill. Whatever you do, do it enthusiastically and people will like it more.
I've had tinnitus for about ten years, and since I started protecting my ears it hasn't got any worse - touch wood.
