Description During this show I got kicked twice in the back of the head, soaked with two plastic cups of beer and washed off with half a plastic cup of water. Was still worth it

Nice. When I went to a Megadeth concert, I got headbutted in the stomach, beer spilled on my head twice, and almost got kicked out by the security because apparently I wasn't supposed to be on the floor, even though I paid for it. And.. it was still awesome!

And getting a picture of Zakk Wylde up close? Priceless. Really like it man

Wow! Amazing photo. Zakk's signature orange Gibson ZV gets a lot of hate, but I must say, I think it's quite cool, and this photo really seems to show Zakk and his instrument as one. Great job.

Thanks I like all his guitars - no one should hate something that gets used so well

I just saw them at Sokol Auditorium in Omaha, and it was one of the most incredible shows I've ever seen!!! Few people can display their absolute mastery over the guitar quite like him. His stage presence commands the entire venue and his ability to zone out and enter a trance takes the entire audience with him. After seeing Black Label Society live I can personally attest to their raw energy and how difficult it must be to even capture a fraction of that energy. But here he is in the moment, bravo Mr. Obsidian, keep up the good work.

P.S. And once again I am most jealous of were your profession takes you!
P.S.S. Do you have any pictures of Zakk in the Crazy Horse headdress? If so, please post them!

Just from reading the comment, you write quite well. Do you like all sorts of music or just metal? If you're interested in contributing for the mag I work for, you'd get free tickets and some wicked photos out of the deal. Just let me know! Send me an email at scotta@abortmag*.com (minus the star)

PS - Sorry, I don't have any of those.. just the bowler and with no hat
