I MET ZAKK IN PORTLAND, OR. IT WAS ARRANGED BY A FRIEND WHO WORKS FOR ZAKK. BEING A GUITAR BUILDER AND A HUGE ZAKK WYLDE FAN I THOUGHT IT ONLY PROPER TO BUILD HIM A GUITAR. AFTER GIVING HIM HIS "FIDDLE" AS HE CALLS IT, HE ASK IF I WOULD BE INTERESTED IN WORKING WITH HIM ON HIS OWN GUITAR LINE, THE ONLY REPLY I COULD THINK OF WAS, DOES BIGFOOT JERK-OFF IN THE WOODS? NOW I AM BUILDING ANOTHER FOR HIM AND WE SHALL SEE WHAT HAPPENS NEXT. THANKS, STEVE

Met Zakk Twice in london.
The first time, got a call from a mate who works for Eagle Rock, He said Zakk would be doin a signing
at Virgin Mega store on Oxford St.
I went down with a Confederate Flag I gave to my best friend that we got signed by Pantera back in 2000.
It's got a huge Dime autograph with a big CFH on it.
Zakk took one look said "ohh Fuck Me!" looked up, bear hugged the fuck out of me, shook hands then I went to work.
It's now immortalised on the European Invasion dvd.
Second time got a photo with him and my best friend holdin up the flag at the Metal Hammer Awards at the Astoria.
What a fuckin night that We got hammered, Zakk got the Riff Lord award and he met us!
What a lucky bastard ;-)

I had the chance to meet Zakk a couple of years ago here in Philadelphia as the sam ash store.
I was there like 4 hours early and I was playing the guitar for my Daughter who was blind & loved music, So I was ripping Crazy Babies for her and I heard a voice over my shoulder say "Not bad brother" it was Zakk.
He spent 2 hours with my daughter talking to her.
In May of last year, she passed away and we talked about her meeting Zakk at her funeral.
It was the best time of her liife.
Thank you Zakk for taking the time to talk to her, It really meant alot Brother.

I never OFFICIALLY met Zakk....but did get to touch his arm, as he was going from the stage into the press pit.
I have met Nick, Craig & JD a couple of times,though.

I went to Ozzfest in August. I met Zakk (he called my gorgeous and kissed me on the neck a couple of times) and then, my boyfriend and I were right at the stage during the show. I kept flashing Ozz and he sprayed my boobies with his foam blaster hahah not that foam blaster lol Then, he sprayed me in the eye and I thought I was gonna be blind, but it was f***in worth it! Yeah.. it was great..
