You've got certain guys that just want to be famous and then you've got the real musicians that just love playing music.

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.

If you have passion for what you want to do and that's what you want to do, you've just got to bust your balls and go for it if you want to play music.

Even when I played sports when I was little, I played to win. Otherwise, what's the point of putting the pads on and going to practice? I don't understand.

Every day you try to get better.

As much as I love heavy riffs, I like The Eagles, Neil Young, Elton John, Crowded House.

You have to have passion for what you're doing.
