Zakk Wylde...Lord Of The Dance? Hey, we knew the former Ozzy Osbourne shredder and now full-time Black Label Society kingpin was talented, but apparently he's got other skills, those of the soft-shoe variety, and he's not shy about sharing them with the world.
Yes, folks, Zakk Wylde wants to be on Dancing With The Stars. You can't blame it on drink anymore - the man's been off the sauce for over a year now. Wylde is dead serious about his desire to trip the light fantastic on the hit ABC dance-off series (visit his MySpace page - it's all right there), and he wants your help in making his dream a reality.
So if you want to witness TV history - and seeing the Zakkster make like Fred Astaire would be just that - head over to ABC.com and cast your vote. Tell 'em you want to see Zakk Wylde on Dancing With The Stars. You'll be glad you did. Really.

Joe is a freelance journalist who has, over the past few decades, interviewed hundreds of guitarists for Guitar World, Guitar Player, MusicRadar and Classic Rock. He is also a former editor of Guitar World, contributing writer for Guitar Aficionado and VP of A&R for Island Records. He’s an enthusiastic guitarist, but he’s nowhere near the likes of the people he interviews. Surprisingly, his skills are more suited to the drums. If you need a drummer for your Beatles tribute band, look him up.
