Another Look: Black Label Society “Shot to Hell”

It doesn’t really matter if you’ve been under a rock since forever.  You know who Zakk Wylde and Black Label Society is.  It was hard to ignore the tall man with the beard that Sharon Osborne freaked out over.  Yes, that tall man is Zakk Wylde, and he’s one hell of a shredder.  Other than [...]
