Zakk Wylde rose to international prominence when he joined Ozzy Osbourne's line up for 1988's No Rest For The Wicked. We talk to Zakk whilst on the road with Black Label Society - the band he formed and has fronted since 1998. Zakk talks us through the massive riffs on the latest BLS album Grimmest Hits, the inspiration behind starting his own line of guitars and amps and what it's like to be back working with Ozzy for a farewell tour.   Greg Marra first appeared on The Guitar Speak Podcast in February 2017 (Episode 36), and he's been up to so much good stuff we had to have him back. Greg talks us through new Plenty Heavy material, moving to Sully Guitars, playing NAMM, working at Satriani's G4 camp and starting his own killer podcast.

My interview with Guitarcore pioneer Bill Lonero was apparently his first on a podcast. I told Bill my prediction was that he would soon start receiving requests to be on other podcasts. Enter Los Angeles based guitarist, vocalist, songwriter, and host of The Iconoclast Music Podcast, Greg Marra. Lonero was soon featured on Greg's podcast, and I've now had the pleasure of interviewing Greg for this podcast. His band Plenty Heavy has a new album called Colossus Maximus. The track Paper Machete from that album is featured at the end of this episode. I discovered during our conversation that Greg is friends with Doug Pinnick of King's X. Greg and I are both big fans of Kings X. He told me that when he finally committed himself to singing in a lead vocal capacity, that Pinnick was a source of encouragement. He in no way compares himself vocally to greatness of Pinnick, but you can definitely hear the influence. Marra's overriding sentiment on music ed Greg started playing guitar at age 6, but didn't have his first guitar lesson until he was about 17. By junior year of high school, he started taking every music class he could get into, a pattern he continued into junior college and privately. His overriding sentiment on music education is that one need only listen to greats like Jeff Beck or Clapton to learn most everything they need to know. What we talked about He has a lot going for him including endorsements, a great band, a regular gig at NAMM, great online presence, his own record label, a family, lots of very cool musician friends, some of which you'll hear mentioned in this episode. I could go on and on. We talk about a lot of cool stuff, including Dave Navarro's podcast, the return of Greg's own Iconoclast Music Podcast, songwriting, the early years and the anatomy of his career, how some equipment companies (like some people) don't seem to understand “relationship first marketing”, music education, YouTube, G4, NAMM and more. We only just met, but he struck me as a really cool guy. I hope to see his band Plenty Heavy sometime very soon.
