Sword's Tavern

My buddy Steve posted this on his Facebook page and I just had to share it, it’s brilliant really …

“C, E-flat and G go into a bar. The bartender says, “sorry, but we don’t serve minors.” So E-flat leaves, and C and G have an open fifth between them. After a few drinks, the fifth is diminished and G is out flat. F comes in and tries to augment the situation, but is not sharp enough.

D comes in and heads for the bathroom saying, “Excuse me. I’ll just be a second.” Then A comes in, but the bartender is not convinced that this relative of C is not a minor. Then the bartender notices B-flat hiding at the end of the bar and says, “Get out! You’re the seventh minor I’ve found in this bar tonight.”

E-Flat comes back the next night in a three-piece suit with nicely shined shoes. The bartender says, “you’re looking sharp tonight. Come on in, this could be a major development.” Sure enough, E-flat soon takes off his suit and everything else, and is au natural.

Eventually C sobers up and realizes in horror that he’s under a rest. C is brought to trial, found guilty of contributing to the diminution of a minor, and is sentenced to 10 years of D.S. without Coda at an upscale correctional facility.”

Here it is folks, what I am proclaiming to be the number 1 video of the year, if not all time.  It’s the video for the song Overlord from Zakk Wylde and Black Label Society.  This song comes off of their most recent Top 5 album The Order of the Black.  I don’t want to spoil anything, but this video is filled with awesomeness, you just won’t believe your eyes when you see it.  So, click on the link below and watch it right now!

Watch the video now!

For anyone who hasn’t already been blown away by this record, I posted and in depth review of the album.  Check it out, I think it has some good stuff in there, and hopefully it will answer any questions you might have before buying it.  Take a look here …

On the heels of our previous post about just how damn good the new album from Zakk Wylde and Black Label Society is, we have some chart numbers to back it up, baby.  At the end of it’s first week the latest album from Zakk and Company titled Order Of The Black has reached number 4 on the Billboard top 200 charts across America, and number 1 on the Billboard top 100 Hard Rock charts.  Pretty damn good for a guy that less than a year ago had a health crisis that left him nearly dead due to blood clots in his lungs.  That’s what I call a helluva comeback.  If you haven’t already, get out to your local record store or fire up iTunes and grab the latest auditory masterpiece from Father Wylde, you won’t be sorry!

Yeah, I’m a fan, but I can still separate good music from bad (not a question of like or not, though like I do ;]).  The new album from Zakk Wylde and his Black Label Society came out a week ago and I am still listening to it, examining each track, absorbing it and taking it in.  This album is amazing, I mean I can’t tell you how many times I have gotten a CD where there was one or two good tracks and the rest was pretty much filler (never with a ZW or BLS cd of course), but every damn track on The Order Of The Black is awesome.  From hard hitting metal madness to rock and roll badness to powerful ballads that make you want to weep and call your mama just to tell her you love her.  This album is a masterpiece of music, a wide range of music styles, a superb example of Zakk and Co’s abilities and of course, Zakk’s writing ability.  You need to go get this album and give it a spin.  I can guarantee you this, if you aren’t a Black Label fan now, you will be after listening to this record.

We just posted about the release of the first single Parade of the Dead off of Black Label’s new album Order of the Black. Guess what? Single number two Crazy Horse came out last night (after midnight ;]) on iTunes. Let me tell you, this one might be heavier, harder and better than the first. Really though, it doesn’t matter, they are both SLAMMIN’ so go get them now!!!

Head’s up everyone, Zakk Wylde and his band family Black Label Society have been hard at work in the Black Label Bunker, the recording studio that Zakk built outside his home.  They have spent the last few months working on a new album and all signs are pointing to this being some of their best work yet.  The first single, Parade of the Dead, to be released from the album, Order of the Black, is now available on iTunes.  I highly recommend picking it up.  If you are a Zakk/BLS fan then it goes without saying that you need this, the song is slammin’ and rocks the house all the way down.  Even if you aren’t already a Zakk/BLS fan, if you are a metal head like me, get the song!  You’ll love it and walk away a Zakk/BLS fan.  If you aren’t a metal head, get it anyway because it will convert you!  Take a listen to Zakk, Nick, JD, and Will tear it up in true Black Label fashion.
