For those of you who don't know, BLS is a band led by guitarist Zakk Wylde of Ozzy Osbourne fame. From what I understand, BLS was formed in 1998. The band has released 7 studio albums, and have apparently finished recording the follow-up to their 2005 album, Mafia. The album is supposedly titled "Shot to Hell"
Source-Wikipedia

I enjoy this band.....some good jams. As always, let me know your opinion on the band, favorite songs/album, etc.....

The setlist for Doom Troopin' was pretty good but i didn't like some of the "effects" they used with the filming. It was kind of stupid, I just want to see the show straigh up. On the new album "Shot to Hell". I thought it kicked ass. My brother was dissappointed becausue there was a lot of softer slower songs, but i thought they kicked butt as well. I felt the album altogether was better than MAFIA. "Hell Is High" "Concrete Jungle" and "Black Mass Reverends" just rock the hell out of a person.

hmm, I didn't really care for his last two albums. I think that his voice sounded better back in the day and that
his riffs were more inspired. Zakk still rules though.

Again- this is one of my favorite bands. And Zakk Wylde is an amazing person to meet!
Wehn he composses his music, he doesn't decide ahead of time wether it will be used for B.L.S. or Ozzy. so fans of Ozzy who don't know B.L.S. have no reason to dislike them. It's the same music, new vocals, differernt members.

He not only is a talented guitarist but he surely has a great voice. The southern sound in this song totally slays.

its kind of weird...you would have expected BLS to be a whole lot more famous, but they clearly are not. on top of that, whenever we, or anyone is talking about metal guitarists, Zakk is never mentioned. granted he may not be the best guitarist, but his style is quite interesting none the less


my favorite song by them? good question. i'm not really that deeply rooted into BLS's music, and thus, i am familiar with SOME of their singles. as much as i like the video of that 'concret jugle' the song itself i find boring. their best single is prolly theri 'in this river'. i like the violining intro to the song. and its really cool the whole video was shot at this one river. and the endding is dedicated to dimebag darrel. so that was cool of them to do.

No, I also feel that way, except I think that overall it's a piece of shit. I love BLS and Zakk, but this album does absolutely nothing for me. I voted for it as the most disappointing album of 2006, and it almost hurt to do that. Mafia is a great album, so I still had high hopes for Shot to Hell.

Yeah, previous BLS albums made me wanna get up and kick some ass in a mosh & headbang, but this album sounded like Nickleback for christ sakes.

As much as id like to beat the piss out of some 13 year old wannabe metalheads I cant, im already thinnish ice with that sort of stuff, Ill probably just show up early and try and find a scalper, or ill just listen to the music from the lobby, the sound travels pretty decently in Mac Hall.

@MaidenVarius: But Zakk doesn't stunn you by his axe-work in some way? Come on, how can you deny the great grooves that the songs have? The more recent material like Mafia aren't so great and are mallcore-ish but the first like 3 or 4 records.......hmmm and it sure gets me in the mood for 'partying' lol

GAH!!! i randomly stumbled across their song 'lords of destruction' and '13 years of grief' and then i'm looking at 'shot to hell'(the only BLS album i have right now...unfortunately) and wonder what the hell happened? those songs are awesome and heavy, while shot to hell is...just...boring

Bands like Down and Alabama Thunderpussy match that description much better than Black Label Society.
