ZAKK WYLDE! Thats a no brainer! Zakk is the epitome of the fiddle. The tones and squeals he pulls out of his Dunlop products is unrivaled. Long live the Wah pedal!

ZAKK !!!!! ; ]

Jim “the Reverend Horton Heat” Heath.   The guy is an amazing guitarist and writes the most memorable lyrics.  He also has great taste in guitars and gear!

I’d have to say that James Hetfield because he’s a great songwriter and he really knows how to interact with the crowd with that great stage presence needed when playing live.

I have two favorite Dunlop Artists.
Zakk Wylde and Kirk Hammet.

Hi, my favorite Dunlop artist would definitely have to be Andy Timmons.  His smooth, yet crunchy guitar tone combines perfectly with his impressively emotional playing to create a truly incredible artist.  I feel every song of his.

Billy Gibbons, obviously!  Because he’s the one, the only the original, and the one so many try to imitate!  I’ve always said, “Dunlop makes the best stuff”  I just found out that my Dunlop made MXR GT-OD has a little switch inside that can turn it into the Zack Wylde distortion box.  So… even if I don’t win this drawing, I’m still a winner!

1 Kirk Hammett His wah pedal sounds killer and he a phenomenal player. 
2 Zakk no need to explain that.. He just is 

appa!!

Zakk’s overdrive sound is the best that i’ve heard.
and sound of Hammett’s wah is very interesting for me.

My favorite Dunlop artist is Paul Gilbert because using a traditional but yet great pick he is the fastest but also tastiest of all!!!!

I really want those Ultex!!!!!
Thanks, Zakk rules too!

Jerry Cantrell – he’s a modern musician who’s kept the Black Sabbath school of moderate tempo, super-heavy riffs alive, plus he has a restrained soloing style that always fits the song.  Also, he has the best signature wah. ;D

Because he has created a perfect balance between classical and heavy metal

m/ Zakk Wylde m/

Joe Perry. Some of the most enduring rock riffs of all time.

Zakk Wylde is a beast & he needs the strongest strings around to support his monsterous playing.

Zakk Wylde, because he has so much heart that you can hear it coming through the guitar.  And he is a no nonsense kind of guy.  Plus Zakk is a guitar GOD!!!

Zack wylde ALL DAY! Hes a great guitarist hes really vercitile, hes an all around good player

Zack wylde ALL DAY! Hes a great guitarist hes really vercitile, hes an all around good player

Paul Gilbert is my favorite, he has an amazing playing style, his legato is amazing, he’s incredibly fast yet precise and he writes amazing solos.
Zakk is in a close second because of his speed picking, wah, and because of BLS.

I guess your looking for me to give you a big name guitarist who’s my fav but my favorite Dunlop artist is me.  Not being arrogant because I’m not the best player in the world but I’ve always used Dunlop picks, wah, ect for years as endorsements come and go.  I’m 40 and I got my first Dunlop pick when I was probably five years old so although I’m not on a stage in front of 40k people I’m still my favorite and I really don’t think there’s anything wrong for any of us non pros thinking that.  Thanks.

My favorite Dunlop artist is Zakk Wylde because he is a f*cking bad ass, and he’s the queen of American Idol.

 Mr. ZAKK FUCKIN’ WYLDE!!! ‘Cause He gives me the courage to buy mi first guitar in lately 80′s when hear him for the first time in the Ozzy’s “No Rest For The Wicked” album, and cause’ he is the most talented, original and simple guitarrist around the world!!! And also is a BIG HEART MAN!!! I Hope to share some beers with him when he came with BLS to Argentina next 9th of August…Cheers!!!!

I’m really feeling Abysmal Dawn right now. I saw them live with Kataklysm on their latest US tour and was blown away by the technical playing ability of the front man!

Does Jimi Hendrix Count?

Personally, Jim root.
He’s a very vesitile guitarist, Even if he doesn’t allways show it.

Zakk is great live in concert and a great person. He sure plays a mean guitar with or without a band.

Zakk Wylde is my favorite Dunlop artist because he delivers the goods and takes no sh**t from anyone !

I would have to say Zakk Wylde. Even if this wasnt his giveaway I’d say him. Simple because he was one of us. Who was 18 years old playing his ass off. Then becomes this overnight sensation with Ozzy. Then continues his own band. Along with that he doesnt let it get to his head. Great player. Great person.

My favorite Dunlop/MXR artist is – without blinking my eyes – Mr. ZAKK WYLDE. I use most of his signature pedals too, and can’t be more happy !! I’m looking forward to the Tortex TIII picks as well (not yet available in Holland). Ultex gives you more high, and I love the sharp tip. 

 My favorite Dunlop artist is Zakk Wylde because not only can the dude flat out rip on the guitar, but he can still make music that you can chill to.

zakk wylde…cause he dont care what music is popular he plays what he wants

Zakk Wylde is my favorite he has been since he got the job with Ozzy after Jake E Lee left

Paul Gilbert for me. Great Player, good teacher, Wicked sense of humor.

Zakk wylde he was amazing when I saw him and the band at Manchester!!!!!

Zakk, Zakk, Zakk!!! Zakk is my favourite Dunlop artist.

Eric Clapton because he is a classic, and he has all the class to represent anything Dunlop. He is a true Rock Icon and  a life’s Survivor .

Tie between Zakk Wylde and Billy Gibbons. I use both their sig. series strings on my guitars. Zakk for his pure tonal assault and Gibbons for some of the tastiest hooks ever.

Gabriela Quintero. Mixing spanish and rock music is one of the best things I have ever heard.

zakk wylde because he is a guitar god,the way he picks those notes,the way he uses his wah pedals,his vocals and i mean come on he was with ozzy for all those years,i like the way he comes up with his lyrics but most of all his guitars are the coolest guitars ever,i watch alot of bls videos and zakk wylde interviews and zakk wylde just seems like the most down to earth person ever,he seems fun to be around,he inspires me to keep playing guitar everyday     ZAKK 4 president

High on Fire, because they tend the flame for REAL metal!!! m/

Jerry Cantrell and Dimebag

My favorite artist is Slash because he’s basically the reason I started playing guitar and the reason I still play today

I have 2 favorite Dunlop artist…Zakk Wylde and Eddie Van Halen.  My son is named after both of them and I just purchased a Black Label Society chorus pedal for husband for his birthday!!  Dunlop is awesome!!!

Zakk Wylde is my favorite Dunlap artist. The hardest working man in metal who takes care of his huge family of fans.

Zakk Wylde is my favorite because I like his style and his attitude.

Why Zakk Wylde of course! Why the hell else would I be here! lol The guy has been keeping shred guitar alive and is a living legend. I was hoping for the day when Zakk and Dime would do some sort of collaboration and tour together. That was of course derailed… Zakk will always be a guitar god to me and millions of fans around the world! Rock on brother!!!

Zakk Wylde, cuz he’s a Legend!

Alexi Laiho ! By far

my favorite dunlop artist is zakk wylde because he’s a beast and a God!!! I love all his albums solo and with bls I’ve been to a few of his concerts ! Zakk is awesome!!! 

Also, You cant beat Zakk and Nick!

My favorite Dunlop Artist is Zakk.  I’ve been a fan since he started with Ozzy and just love his wide range of playing styles from the softer “Book of Shadows” to the more recent hard stuff.

This is hard to answer, I play songs by different artists and create a style out of all them together. But I would have to choose Zakk Wylde, James Hetfield, Kirk Hammet and Slah. All of them have amazing skills in playing guitar and have all paved a path for current and future guitarists.

EVH for sure!

Gotta say it’s Zakk Wylde. I love any music with great licks, and so far, Black Label Society takes the cake.

God damned Billy Gibbons! Because ZZ shreds.

Zakk of course!  He has kept the wah pedal going far past simply good for the porn groove.  Plus, his killer shredding requires something tougher than a regular celluloid pick!  I have Tortex picks that are still unmarred that I purchased 15 years ago!

My favorite Dunlop artist is none other than Zakk Wylde.  I use a alot of the same gear including strings, picks and guitars and Zakk.  I’ve followed Zakk since he first joined Ozzy, thru the  Pride & Glory days all the way to the present BLS.  +TBLO+

Kerry King Slayer! Metal Forever!

My favourite Dunlop artist is also my favourite artist of all time! Zakk Wylde is the man!

Zakk Wylde of course! Love BLS and his days with Ozzy. He blew Rhandy Rhodes ( RIP Bro ) out of the water.And I love the way Zakks music can pump you up or mellow you right out. Great for any mood I’m in! Wish I could meet him At the show in Detroit in November with Priest! I’ll be 9th row main floor Zakk cheering you on. Pam Wright loves you dude!!!!!

My favourite Dunlop Artist is Zakk Wylde because I’ve been a fan of his BLS & Ozzy work for a long time and his Dunlop Guitar strings are my favourite to use. 

Zakk Wylde!

Zakk Wylde Because my cousin is named after him and that he is a great inspiration

Zakk Wylde,  One of the best guitarists ever and a work ethic like no other.  I’ve met him a couple times and has always been super nice too.

ZAKK WYLDE is the best even named my kid ZAKK

My Favourite is James “Papa Het” Hetfield. OOOH YEA-EAH! because How many other people can get on stage and say “Yeah! OOOOOOH…YEAH!”  and get the crowd going insane?! 

Jerry Cantrell, because his signature wah is the best wah I’ve ever owned.

Buddy Guy
No reason needed, just because

Favorite Dunlop artist? Zakk Wylde of course! Why? Because he is the Jesus of Shred… Some people were just born to do what they do…

Zakk wylde, because he is down to earth, amazing at the guitar, and a lot like myself. SDMF

Zakk Wylde because I love pinch harmonics

duh Zakk cuz he is always changing his music up

Dunlop has so many great artists I can’t pick just one. My favorites are Slash, Kirk Hammett, James Hetfield, Zakk Wylde, and Eddie Van Halen. All five of them are incredible guitar players and have influenced so many over the years myself included.

Obviously Zakk Wylde is my favorite. Sure, in a way he is a shredder, but not in a bad way. You can hear a clear melody and that he puts some thought into what he’s playing. I also do love the country stuff he does now and then.

My favorite Dunlop artist is Incubus, because after all this time they still write, they still rock, and they still Dunlop!

Zakk Wylde because he is the one that kept heavy guitar music going while all those other fag bands were pissed off at the world

Zakk of course. He has such a wide range of music he does, piano, acoustic and electric guitar. He is also one of the nicest guys you will ever meet! †SDMF†

Billy Gibbons, Joe Bonamassa, Zakk Wylde!! Great players, Great Tone, & Great taste!

definitely james black

Zakk Wylde, the man just knows tone.

a tie between les claypool and scott ian. both of ‘em are great players!

Zakk Wylde. He is a riff masrer.

Upon hearing Book of Shadows after its release, it was over.  I have been a huge Zakk Wylde/BLS fan ever since.   I have been to 2 shows and bought every Album he has put out.  My boys grew up with me listening to him all the time and fortunately are now are big fans as well.   Thanks for backing such a talented artist.   SDMF!  NC Chapter           John D. McDonald      jdwyldzak@yahoo.com

My favorite Dunlop artist is Zakk Wylde. I met him once and he’s a really cool down to earth guy. He dosent take his fans for granted and puts on one Hell of a show for them also. I’ve watched Zakk since the No Rest For The Wicked album, and he’s been my favorite guitarist since. There will never be another Zakk Wylde, he’s like the Michael Jordan of guitar players..the best there is, the best there was, the best there ever will be.

Eddie Van Halen obviously! He’s the guy who made me want to play guitar to begin with!

Kirk Hammett for sure!!

Zakk Wylde. He’s the BOSS!!!

My favorite Dunlop artist is Billy Sheehan because, well, have you seen the dude play?!? He shreds.

James Hetfield, cause he is the person who invented Metal as we know it today.

Zakk Wylde is my Favorite Dunlop artist because the great music he puts out and the fact the man is not at all limited to the spectrum’s in which he can do it on both acoustic and electric are top quality, not to mention hes a great man in person takes the time to talk to his fans and loves having fun Zakk is King in my book

My favorite artist is Zakk Wylde. Just because he is my inspiration to play guitar and use the dunlop series!

My favorite dunlop artist is Zakk Wylde of course.  He’s a bad mutherf**ker who knows how to shred!

My favorite Dunlop Artist is Zakk Wylde! For all it’s pride and glory to the Rock N ‘Roll and more than that for the boldness and character to be who he is. God bless the man stronger than death itself.

Zakk Wylde is my favorite artist. Not to mention he has several diffrent sizes of signature strings for if you would rather have the Ozzy tone or the BLS tone.  I have used these strings for a very long time and will stand by anything endorsed by Mr Wylde

Zakk Wylde is my favorite Dunlop artist and i also love your guitar pedals… they`re awesome !!!

My favorite Dunlop artist is the Ultimate Berzerker, Zakk Wylde.
I’ve seen Zakk numerous times and he always amazes.

oh i choose Zack Wylde he makes me melt like a popcicle on the Forth of July when his playing, teaching,learning, god bless any body that got it and shares it, 

So many of your artists are awesome but overall I have to go with Joe Perry. He’s been out there forever! His sound is so raucous! He’s the basis of so many of the new guitarists.

zakk wylde cuz he kicks ass and shreds like a motherfucker

Slash…unique tone and style…works a crybaby like no-one else!

Jerry Fulton Cantrell becouse he is the man! The fucking cowboy with his farm and bulls in it . He is also good at guitar

Zakk Wylde Forever!

Kerry King of Slayer has to be my favorite, hes been doing it forever and stuck with Dunlop the whole time.

Black Stone Cherry they’re a new band with an old raw sound, they’re one of the bands that’s gonna save Rock N Roll, where as Zakk is by far my favorite Guitarist/Singer, Black Stone Cherry is my favorite band, they make a great mix of Southern Rock and heavy metal. Zakk Could o no beter, nor worse. 

Linkin Park. As a group they inspire me, and they formed the soundtrack to my teens. My favourite band of all time and featuring some amazingly talented musicians. Mike Shinoda is incredible…

Eddie Van Halen is a legend, his sound is like no other.  Eddie paved a way for all other guitarists, old and new.

George harrison he was the first one I saw that made me want to play

Zak Wylde ! Cause he sold his soul and the song about it is pure awesomeness!

Billy Gibbons. That guy can squeeze some amazing tone out of the skinniest strings. .8 and .7 sets??? He always keeps it classy and full of bluesy guts!!!

Love and respect, Zakk. S.D.M.F always m/

Zakk Wylde baby!!!!! He is a freaking guitar GOD!! Not to mention a great musician in general. His songs on the piano are some of the best stuff that he does! Book of Shadows will always be one of my Favorite cd’s!  Dude just rocks!

My favourite Dunlop artist is SLASH! His wah signature is juste awesome!
I love him, specially with Velvet Revolver, and the Appetite GNR period, in cause of his solos, between blues and rock music!

My favirte dunlop artist is Zakk Wylde. He is reason that I use dunlop wah pedal cause it has a briliant sound what i want

Zakk Wylde or Bill Kelliher. Zakk us a real legend who played with the greatest artists on earth. Bill Kelliher has a unique way of writing songs which I really respect!

Goddamit, what a stupid question…of course, it’s Zakk Wylde…why? He changed my whole way of writing a song…both the music and lyric parts….so deep and emotional…and heavy as well at the same time…He’s almost as good as Tony Iommi

Zakk Wylde, cos hes come so far from the pre-ozzy days

Must I choose just one artist? I have a very broad musical taste and I appreciate all types of music and the artists who create it. Each of these artists have a unique quality,style, tone, etc. and they are all great in their own way. If they were not, then they would not be a Dunlop Artist! Correct?

Bryan Beller, he’s William Murderface for murder’s sake.

Zakk.  Becausee he’s the only one I know right now

I LIKE ZAKK WYLDE THE MOST BECAUSE HE KNOWS HOW TO one entertain, two he knows how to play the hell outta his guitar, three hes the reason why i picked up a guitear in the first place

Zakk Wylde because he is an uncompromising badass guitar player with a badass sound. His style and most of all his tone, have stood the test of time.

Zakk Wylde. He is the best.

As far as Dunlop artists, Zakk Wylde.

Zakk wylde who else could it be???

Zakk, well because of the beard .

David Ellefson/MegadetH
Because he makes the best basslines, and he uses Dunlop products!

hmmm my favourite artist, i have a couple,….. Zakk Wylde, why? he has done so many things for metal, he is one of the best guitarists in the world! he can play everythinng from brutal metal to southearn country.

Zakk Wylde…He’s the man, the machine, the legend. Nuff said  GI/FD

I have to say Eddie Van Halen for being an inspiration to so many amazing guitar players out there. Zakk Wylde is my favorite guitarist alive, but I have to stick with Eddie.  

 Zakk is one of, if not THE best Dunlop artist out there!
- The sheer amount of signature products of his i just insane! Choruses, overdrives, wahs, phasers – not to mention he uses the Rotovibe, on of the all-time classic pedals!

Besides that; the strings, the ultex picks – all combined to define the sound of one of rock & rolls most groundbreaking guitarist. When the sad, sad day comes, when Zakk isn’t with us anymore, his legacy will live on through DUNLOP!

SDMF

Kerry King…He is uncompromising.

Hello,

There isn’t an artist from Dunlop which is the best. In my opinion, not an artist creates dunlop, but all of us who use these excellent quality products. I use Dunlop ultex sharp and some effects of MXR. Returning to the artist, who must be described. My favorite artist for many years is Zakk Wylde. I like his play. His solos are soft and hard in one. His solos and styles of play are characteristic of and all guitarist knows how to distinguish them from a host of other solos. Besides of that. It has a distinctive look, that makes it looks like thoroughbred metal musician. I think I’ll be a fan of Zakk to the end of life. Finally I’ll say that I love to show what he does on stage with Black Label Society. I was at a concert in Warsaw this year and it was definitely a great concert. The concert was  on Johny Kelly’s birthday. That was awesome when all hall started to sing “Sto lat” that is “Happy birthdsay” in Polish. Please, correct me if I made a mistake in writing.Greetings from PolandPawel

Zakk Wylde = Uncompromising!!!

Zakk Wylde, because of his skill and versatility. His speed and playing ability is absolutely amazing. Not to metion he can play anything from blues to metal.

Zakk wylde why? Well its Zakk wylde what more needs to be said

Zakk. Nobody embodies the drive & attitude it takes to make it in this business better than Zakk.

Zakk Wylde.. hes the best inspiration

He’s lightyears away from Zakk in style, but I’m going with country artist Chris Young.  I think the kid has a long career ahead of him.  His studio work is dead on, and the reproduction in a live setting is flawless.

Zakk Wylde, and Drop8

Zakk Wylde and Drop8, because Dunlop is the best shit out there barr none!

James Hetfield / Metallica – such rhythm and force! What more Can you ask for?

Mick Thompson because I’m fan of Slipknot since childhood and his personality and guitar skill fascinates me, as well as Zakk Wylde and Slash. ,,/,,,O ,,,,,/

Zakk*

Zakk Mutha Fuckin Wylde ~ he shreds with style leaving his words in a pile only to be sorted out within every soul, after all you can never get to drunk when you so damn high.

Zakk Wylde!! Book of shadows, Pride and Glory, Black Label!
And Ozzy stuff!

Zakk Wylde! His abilitly to cross between styles & instruments never seems to amaze me. One mintute he’s playing the “first noel” on a classical guitar (whilst throwing in some great rock blues licks), the next he’s playing the heaviest of metal that will tear your balls off. Not to mention what this guy can do on a piano!
For over 20 years Zakk has had a rock solid sound. He knows what he wants. As quoted “if it aint broken dont fix it”. So few artists these day keep with their sound and thats something I really admire about Zakk!

Kerry King. Cause none rock harder than slayer

Zakk Wylde of course!!! Amazing guitarist and songwriter! Bleed Black!!!  m/

OBVIOUSELY ZAKK WYLDE!!! HE IS A GUITAR GOD!!! Plus all of his Dunlop and MXR priducts are amazing!!! SDMF!!!

3 things: Pride and Glory, Book of Shadows and Song Remains Not The Same

Zakk because he is the real deal.

Zakk Wylde! because i saw him live in august and my face just recently regained its shape after being melted off!

I like Zakk Wylde because his playing continues to inspire even as we both get older. He is still a high energy firecracker!

Buddy Guy…. still out performing, and killing it!

ZAKK WYLDE!! Becasue he’s still ripping up the guitar and hasn’t stopped! Plus, he’s probably one of the most humbled players in the bizz! No ego, just licks! Dunlop Rules!!

Zakk , SDMF!! 

Zakk Wylde…. Enough said.

Zakk Wylde because he’s BADASS!!!

Zakk Wylde cause he fucking rocks

Zakk Wylde. Why? He has the biggest arms in the music industry

glen drover cause his solo album metalusion is amazing

Zakk Wylde … the why should be obvious, he is a true monster of rock!!!
His music is pure adrenaline!!! It can power you through a work out or
get you through a rough patch in your life, its sonic motivation.

Zakk Wylde is the man.  Why?  Because he isn’t afraid to do what he wants…and he is a riff machine.

my favourite dunlop artist is zakk wylde because i love is skills on guitar and cause is my inspiration on guitar playing

Zakk Wylde cause he plays the best and if he plays Dunlop then
Dunlop is the bestest! BLS FOR LIFE!

I think all the artist are great someday my name could be there -I just got a mxr smartgate it’s a great product thanks Tony G

Jakk Wylde is GOD… that is all

joe bonamassa!

My favorite Dunlop artist is the man Zakk Wylde. He is the most awesome guitarist since Randy Rhoads. I honestly believe he would Randy a run for his money. I have been a fan since he burst onto the scene in 1987 with Ozzy. I just love the way he abuses his strings with all the fast picking and his signature squeels and squaws. He is always on top of his game when he performs. he has carried the torch of heavy metal and hard rock for the last 24 years and will for many more.

Zakk Wylde simply because his riffs and leads ream other players a new asshole and his attitude to persevere and stick to your guns is inspiring beyond guitar playing

Zakk Wylde simply because his riffs and leads ream other players a new asshole and his attitude to persevere and stick to your guns is inspiring beyond guitar playing

Zakk is the man!  Hard-nosed, hard-working, SOB!

zakk wylde

very versatile player who can lay down some very heavy riffs!!!!!!

My favorite Dunlop artist is Billy Gibbons, why, because he is the Rev. Billy Gibbons

Zakk Wylde of course

Zakk Wylde because of his amazing talent of writing some of the heaviest songs then turning around and writing with of the most emotional filled acoustic pieces.

Zakk Wylde Why? One Word: “LEGEND”

Too many great players in the Dunlop arsenal. This question is impossible to answer… but give me those zakk wylde things anyway

Zakk Wylde. He shreds and has excellent music.

There are lots of Dunlop artists that I love listening to but I would have to give it to Zakk Wylde. Because without him I wouldnt be playing guitar right now. Seeing him perform live is breathtaking. So Zakk hands down is my favorite Dunlop Artist.

zakk wylde! I love the pure passion in his playing.

Zakk Wylde.  The tone of his 800′s through his EV’s sound so bad ass!

Zakk Wylde. Why? his wah is amazing, his overdrive pedal is amazing, ALL of his stuff that i have is amazing!
about 50% procent of the inspiration i get from guitarist’s comes from zakk! Dimebag inspires me 50% aswell.
m/ And R.i.P dime!

Can I choose myself as my favorite Dunlop artist? I’m a pretty good bass player, dependable, in the pocket, and rock solid. You could do a whole lot worse than having me as a bass player.

zz top for sure because of the fluidity of his playing

Robert Trujillo(bass), and Zakk Wylde (guitar)!!! they’re gods…

Zakk Wylde…he is the very reason why I sound like I do when I play (also helps having his Gibson LP Custom) and the main reason why I got into metal! SDMF BABY!

Zakk of course … why ? From In this River to Parade of the Dead and everything else that fit between

Slash is inspirational and always maintains his unique style and signature sound while using dunlop products. My vote goes to Slash.

Zakk, Kirk and James.
All major influences on me.

zakk wylde! when i hear zakk wylde playing, it’s like the shivers i feel turn into earthquakes. the soil opens itself and a second world appears beyond. in this world no hip hop and mainstream shit is existing, just the pure awesomeness of guitarplaying. trips to this wylde-world make me practice guitar excessively, even if it seems unattainable to reach a level like zakk. his playing-energy is my petrol, his appearance my air to breathe.

Wylde for sure I’ve been jammin out Wilde strings of the ghs brand forever I would love to try dunlops. I shred lead guitar for Incidious And we bleed black

Toni Iommi. Why? Black Sabbath. Nuff said.

Zakk Wylde, because he  is so damn awsome! hes like Thor with the Gibson!
but his style is so unique, and i just love it,  Zakk is a huge inspiration !!!!

as well as Bjørn Gelotte which i think is a genius with his hevay melodic tones!

BOTH with Dunlop Strings… the best there is !!!

Zack Wylde, he’s the best there is!

Buddy Guy!!!  I hope I’m still playing guitar with that much energy when I’m his age

No matter where he is playing, I have always gone out of my way to see Zakk Wylde! This last time in Texas he played in 4 different cities and since my husband was just about to leave to Afghanistan we went to 3 of his concerts. He was my first metal concert and will always be my favorite. 

So, I do like Zakk, and there is the obligatory mention LOL.. I also dig Dave Matthews, they guys from Slayer and Metallica… just way too many people I like use the stuff…

Zakk Wylde! He can be as heavy as anyone then sit down with an acoustic or a piano and blow your mind.

Zakk Wylde- ’cause of the bull’s eye guitar.

Jerry Cantrell! He is one of the the most original guitarists and has a sound that you can immediately recognize.

  Favorite Dunlop artist?  Zakk Wylde.  Hands down.  Insane chops, wah flavor tasty enough to warrant his own model, has a broad range of songwriting talent from balls out rockers to acoustic ballads, plays the keys almost as well as the six strings, harmonica, lets see, what else……….the man is a musical freak of nature.

My two favs are Vinnie Moore for his technical bad-assness and Zakk Wylde for his raw emotional power.

Jerry Cantrell. A very tastefull player who writes killer riffs

This is an obvious selection. Zakk Wylde! He’s a gutiar god!

Zakk Wylde rocks!

Jerry Cantrell

Except Zakk Wylde  – Bryan Beller – he is Murderface of Dethklok, interviews with him are quite inspiring about bass techniques, sound and gear.

there’s no question…….kirk hammett……let’s face it! he and james set the pace for tortex .88′s, crybaby wah (obviously) pedals and achieving the perfect percussive, accurate pick attack on every…..and i do mean every note….i’ve switched over from ernie ball slinky’s to dunlop 10′s, 11′s and heavy core stuff almost exclusively……..fuck, they stay in tune WELL (once they’re broken in) and they sound and FEEL great……we needed a new “invention”….later

Kirk Hammett. I use his pedal and picks. Even though the obvious choice for the comp is zakk wylde for. Respect to zakk as he is an awesome guitarist!

Jim root! Cause I think he is a really awesome guitarist

I like Zakk Wylde because he was Ozzy’s best guitarist, plus being a tremendous rollmodel to all of us…Kicking the use of alcohol and making his health a #1 priority…besides playing the most kick-ass music in the freakin’ universe!!! S.D.M.F.!!!!!

Zakk Wylde, He continues to involve his playing and sound over the years.

Zakk Wylde!! Because he is a frickin beast

ZAKK WYLDE, I love all the pedals he puts his name on.I have his Wah,Overdrive and chourus.

Dimebag Darrel. The cowboy from Hell. Lively and attractive guitar playing, killer sound, always calm, hilarious. He really makes me happy when I watch his records. R.I.P.

Dave Matthews.

Billy Gibbons, that dude can do so much with so little

Definitely Zakk Wylde because he is one of the most talented guitarists to ever play.

ZAKK IS THE MAN , I JUST BOUGHT THE BULLSEYE AND THE WYLDE OVERDRIVE PEDAL , BUT THE GUITAR WAS CUTOM MADE BY GIBSON BECAUSE ITS A LEFT HANDED ONE SO ITS A ZAKK WYLDE CUSTOM BULLSEYE CUSTOM !!!
THE GUITAR IS AWESOME AND WITH PEDAL COMBINED EVEN IF YOU CANT PLAY JUST HOLDING THE GUITAR AND HAVING THE PEDAL WILL GET YOU LAID !!!

ROCK ON

i use dunlop ultex picks, capos, strings…Great stuff Dunlop…..Zakk is the man, really make the guitar sing..

All Dunlop artists kick ass! All of your products kick ass & that’s why I use and abuse them show after show…week after week. Keep up the great work!

Joe Bonamassa – He is able to create such awesome tone using products from Way Huge along with his signature Fuzz Face. Big, loud, chunky, singing tone!!!!

i’ll have to agree with people saying zakk:

- he’s proved that nice guys actually DON’T finish last.
- he was talented before having the beard, meaning that actuallly, beards have no impact on talents other then looking badass. This is something scientists have been working towards for years.
- he disputes the phrase ‘jack of all trades, master of F*ck all’ because any ‘trade’ he participates in, he masters.
- before zakk, people didn’t realise that there is no limit to the amount of pinch harmonics in a song. NO LIMIT. 

me, because i use dunlop strings.

No doubt, my favourite dunlop player would have to be Zakk. He’s just such a modern embodiment of the greats, such as Sabbath, made even fucking heavier! Gotta love how he never names bands such as metallica and such as influence, its always Sabbath, Zeppelin, and EVH. Just can’t stop listening to the sheer fucking power that comes from Zakk’s riffs, and of course the heavy New Jersey accent in his vocals

End with a quote: “Limp Bizkit can suck our big motherfuckn fat cocks!!!”.

Me or Zakk,today.

Easy, Toni Iommi. Black Sabbath basically invented the gene of bands I listen to today

why Zakk Wylde of course,because he’s the baddest guitarist out there….bar none!!!  SDMF….Getcha Pull!!!

Zakk Wylde is our favorite Dunlop artist because he has a sweet beard.

Zakk is the man!! He can do it all!!!! SDMF

That’s a very tough question depending on genre of music and I grew up listening to all types from Polka, country & western, classical to metal and everything in between.  However, my heart belows to rock & roll.  I’ve had this discussion with my son, brothers, co-workers and metal heads galore and here is my 2cents:  Eddie Van Halen.  Period-Dot!!  He not only brought technique and speed, but probably more innovation than any 10 players you can mention.  Zakk has said it himself – any guy can make themself sound good with all the pedals and muddied down with distortion and rip a solo, but a true virtuoso, doesn’t need it.  Eddie innovated and stretched the game 30+ years, tapping, double tapping, guitar modifications, sound, and the list goes on and on.  And people still copy him to this day.  So yes consider Hendrix, Clapton, Page, Stevie Ray Vaughn, BB King – but consider the unique and total contributions each brought to the table.  Aside from Les Paul or Leo Fender for creating the earth changing and mind melting invention of the modern electric guitar – I vote for Eddie Van Halen.  By the way – ask Zakk who his favorite guitar player is?  Yeah you know the answer.  Well he named his son after a few of them but EDDIE is the man.  Thanks for listening. This is Bill Wolf (SMDF) TBLO from Bagram, Afghanistan.

Jason Hook, EVH, Kirk Hammett and Zakk

Zakk Wylde of course!

Zakk Wylde is my favorite Dunlop artist because he lives, breathes and is metal guitar. He’s also my favorite artist for putting out 1919 Eternal, best BLS album of all time. SDMF.

no denying Zakk Wylde… have to stand up for Tony Iommi, everyone knows Eddie Van Halen can jump (lol)… props to Paul Gilbert…  and Billy Sheehan rocks it so you know he could go side by side with Buckethead and spark magic…  That isn’t even all of the Dunlop Artists I could go on about… is this a trick question?   i should just say Zakk Wylde to try to win free stuff, huh?

Coheed and Cambria, not only my favorite Dunlop Artist, but my favorite band. They meld their sci-fi story with one of the most unique sounds in rock and I was instantly mesmerized.

Joshua Homme, Becuase he’s just an amazing guitarist, he plays his music in a different way, and that sound is just so unique, he utilizes his guitar as well as possible!

Coheed and Cambria, not only my favorite Dunlop Artist, but my favorite band ever. They have one of the most unique progressive sounds in rock and on top of that, an epic sci-fi story.

Zakk, my Les Pauls and Marshalls will explain why!

Zakk Wylde because he’s the greatest shredder on the planet and the sounds he gets out of his guitars are second to none.

I’ll go with Zakk because I dont realy know any others. I’m not a big follower the different string brands, I’m quite random with my choice. Haven’t realy played different strings against one another to hear/feal the difference… Perhaps its time I did.

Dimebag Darrell was and still is my favorite. He was incredibly gifted, was a tight rhythm player and had awesome leads. His playing live was spot on and wrote lethal riffs and as a person he had one of the most fun ,most down to earth attitudes.

The Reverend Horton Heat

Zakk Wylde

Zakk Wylde. The man knows his way around six srings better than anyone, and is the very definition of bad ass

Man that is so hard as there are so many I love but I will go with Tony Iommi as he is a true legend. 

 Buddy Guy gets my vote simply for out-living most of his competition, an inspiration in itself!

of course it’s Zakk.His playing is beyond otherworldly!I follow him on twitter and the hole 9 yards.To win this package would be a dream.Rock on Zakk!!

Joe Bonamassa.

Joe Bonamassa

Paul Gilbert.  Because I said so

my favorite dunlop artist and favorite artist ever for that matter is definatly zakk wylde. hes a legend in the world of guitar period, he is a guitar hero in every sense of the word. his tone is greatest i have ever heard and that comes in part because of the fine dunlop products he uses but my favorite part about him is his playing. you could take away all the pedals and shit. you could give him a squire strat and line 6 spider and make it sound like his balls out les pauls and marshalls. i own his dunlop wah overdrive and chorus and they are definatly the finest products i have ever used on guitar and have not only become my secret weapon to molding my tone but crucial. nobody makes em like dunlop and nobody plays it better then zakk wylde. he was the one who inspired me in every aspect of guitar playing. from my playing style to my tunings to the gear i used. zakk is the measuring stick that i and every other guitar player should measure ourselves too

Zakk Wylde

I am my favorite Dunlop artist. I’m not famous, but I think I am… and I F#*$%ing ROCK!!!  Just like Dunlop!

I love Zakks playing, but Started learning Guitar before Zakk came on the scene. I’m a huge James Hetfield Fan, and Have been crunching Metallica riffs forever. A big fan of Randy Rhoads too, but concentrated on the rhyhm end of Playing. Hook a brother up here.

BenJammin.

There is no question…… Zakk Wylde. This man makes love to his guitar. I’m in AWW when he plays his solos. He has true talent. Also he is a good man. The only artist (that i know of) that goes on youtube and shows you how to play his songs. m/

Zakk wylde is my favorite artist because he made me want to start playing guitar when i did.

Gary Holt!  Why? With respect to Zakk, before there was Zakk it was all about thrash metal…Do the toxic waltz bitches!

Zakk. Why? What, don’t you have ears?

Zakk is my favorite HANDS Down.WHY? you ask,Have you heard him play,have you heard of Ozzy Osborne,B.L.S!
If not,Then your probably sick with Bieber Fever and for sure don’t know what Dunlop is!
If you do know about Zakk Then he’s your favorite too and u probably own alot of Donlop gear yourself and want more!
Anyway SDMF                      
                                                               Later!

Hmm i would have to say my favorite artist is mick thomson. And the reason for that would be he inspired me to pick up playing guitar and i later bought a set of zakk wyldes custom dunlop strings and they lasted a whole year so without mick i probably would have never found 1 of my favorite brand of strings. along with many other of dunlops artists

Zakk is the best, coz he’s fn awesome!

Zakk and Slash.

Buddy Guy, Just that way he plays is so clean and effortless. Also the way he look when he plays is so happy it just makes his music better!!

My favorite is James Hetfield, he can pick and sing with the best of them.  For leads, Zakk Wylde all the way.  He has the playing style that is total metal. 

Of corse Zakk Wylde ’cause he made me pick up my axe!

Been a Zakk Fan since I was 5 or smaller. So Im definitely goin with him cause hes been my favorite guitarist for as long as I can remember.

Im 13, Im also a guitarist, im the only one that likes rock in my family cuz im brazilian but spent a part of my childhood in the USA
The guy is insane, ive always liked
rock but when i heard him and his guitar it inspired me and influenced
my guitar style. I owe him a thank you…

Buddy Guy. The REAL genius of electric guitar. The man who doesn’t just play blues… he plays music!

Going to go with Slash today.  Could be Jerry Cantrell tomorrow or Zakk.  It’s all about the Wah!

Primus – because everybody else is saying Zakk Wylde…………..

Zakk Wylde… why?  Because he has the soul, chops, finesse, feel, and ear to play just about any style of music, and have it sound pure and original.  

i’m gonna go for james hetfield!

zakk wylde hands down, i know its kinda cliche seeing as how this is his giveaway but i think zakk is a severely under rated guitarist, the man can truly play any style extremely well.  and hes a huge clown, gotta love him 

I gotta say Mr. Hetfield. Master of Puppets was my first metal song, it really changed my life. The moment I heard the First riff, with the heavy down picking and thrashy rhythm, immense energy from the crowd and Metallica, I knew it was it.

Paul Gilbert, without a doubt. Listening back through the years you can see his growth as a guitarist, changing into a musician with a great ear for both musicality and originality.

ZAKK WYLDE   HE IS Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

I’m a fan of many musicians that use Dunlop’s stuff. I have kinda gravitated towards Zakk Wylde more these past couple of years. I played guitar for many years, but put it down for a while because of life in general and lack of inspiration to play because music had gotten kinda stale for me for a few years. But I went back and listened to Ozzy’s “No rest for the wicked” album one day since I haven’t heard it in years and was really blown away by Zakk’s playing……….I just didn’t remember how good that album was until I dusted it off a few years ago…….and from there on out I was hooked, got back into guitar playing again and really became a fan of Zakk Wylde’s and BLS. Also made me really get back into music overall and explore more of other guitar players that interest me. I came to the conclusion that Zakk Wylde is to me what Randy Rhoads was and is still to him. Thanks, Zakk………….Keep on rockin’!

Zakk Wylde, because he plays and lives the way he preaches and that makes me want to be a better person as well as a better player, Thanks Zakk, SDMF.

My Favourite Dunlop’s Artist is  Billy Gibbons / ZZ Top

i would have to say jimmy page.the things he comes up with are just incredible.you can learn alot from him plus he is the nicest person i have met besides mr. wylde

there are so many but i’ll go for eddie van halen because he is way fantastic

I dig the t shirt. Of course, the rest of the stuff is cool too.

For me, it’s a tough call since Zakk’s playing heavily influenced me (particularly with the pinch harmonics), and on the other hand I am very true to Andy Timmons since he is one of the most tasteful players I have ever heard. If I had to choose one of them, I’d go with mr. Zakk Wylde because he has been my idol forever. He’s the reason I play a Gibson Les Paul and squeal on Jim Dunlop strings! No offense to Andy, but Zakk has moments where his playing is super tasteful and meaningful (same with his singing), and the next minute he can deliver a brutal riff (like doomsday jesus’s chorus riff) and shred so fiercely. I will never get enough of listening to Zakk Wylde, wether it’s his earlier stuff, BLS (old or new); He will forever remain one of the best guitarists in Rock N’ Roll/ Metal history. 

Zakk, because he has the best live tone of any guitarist I’ve seen live!  You can hear him clearly, but you also feel his amps in your chest!

Jerry Cantrell. Boggy Deopt changed my life. 

My favorite guitarist is Eddie Van Halen,he is because I love music, 
I love the guitar, and Van Halen was my unconscious mentor. His technique, 
his passion drove me in my musical practice
and taught me to improve and refine my technique, to get interested, 
therefore, more and more to hard rock. Thanks to him and to his favorite style, 
tapping, I discovered this technique, that now I used in a conscious way. My dream is 
to attend a concert. My dream is to play with him.

Zakk Wylde is the best not only because it is metal guitarist animal morecompletely by also touching of all, calm music, and piano … is a complete musician …and my hero 

Gotta go with Eddie Van Halen because he changed a lot about how the guitar was played.

Paul Gilbert… minimalist… tone oozes from his fingers…. it doesn’t hurt that he uses killer gear from dunlop

zoltan bathory.   he is taking metal to a new and different direction. not the same old grind we have listened to for years. very very tricky riffs to play dont believe me try some of them.

Slash! Because he is simply iconic…

I’m 58 years old.  While I have learned much from Eric Clapton through the years, I have learned a great deal from the innovative play from Zakk Wylde.

Zacky V. , Avenged Sevenfold.
He always plays cool rythm, but when it comes to solo, hes unbeatable. Not his skill level or stuff like that, just the lines he writes…

Hi is teh man ….the best ….my hero

My favourite Dunlop artist is James Hetfield (but of course I also like Zakk) because he isn’t like the rest of metal guitar players. He is so fast and he doesn’t need to play incredible solos to show that he is a fucking great player. The reason I like him so much is because I am a rhythm guitarist, I sometimes do solos, but I prefer to stay in the rhythm side. Some people thimk that playing rhythm is easy, but that isn’t right. 

He was able to back Ozzie and make it look easy. Need I say more? Randy Rhodes left some enormous shoes to fill.

Motorhead! Lemmy is God.

i dig your crazy guitar style Zak

I have to say over the past year Eric Clapton and his style of playing has been the biggest influence on my playing and growth as guitarist and performer….

As far as influences, I’ve followed the melodic players most closely. I really like David Gilmour. The solo in “Comfortably Numb” is exceptional. I also loved Randy Rhodes. He had a great sense of melody. Of course there’s also Jimmy Page and Dicky Betts and Hendrix. I’m also partial to Gary Rossington who I believe is one of the greats.

Paul Gilbert!!!… Why? Really? Why? Great player, great tone, great teacher, great guy.

Mike Ness. The man plays from deep down in his soul. He has been one of the biggest influences in the style of music I play.

Zakk Wylde. Because, on top of being a fantastic guitarist, piano player, and writer, he is also a very down to earth, funny, and inspiring person.

Zakk Wylde BECAUSE OF THE GOOD MUSIC THAT HE MAKES.

Jim Root, Stone Sour and Slipknot. He is amazing live and a great improviser

Zakk Is My Fave Dunlop Artist if not my Fave Artist fullstop

There are many Dunlop artists who are in my favorites because I try to pull inspiration and knowledge from anywhere I can. I love the fact that Zakk shares that same drive and thirst to continue to grow musically so he is by far one of my foremost favorite musicians.

eddie VH– if they are good enuff for God then they are good enough for everyone !

Matt Heafy! Killer riffs!

Billy Gould – Faith No More. cuz he’s got the funk.

Zakk Wylde is my fave Dunlop Artist because I worked at Gibson for 11 years and actually worked on the prototype for the Z.W. Signature Bullseye Les Paul. I got to know Zakk to a degree and of all the artists I met while I was employed there, he was the coolest, nicest and most appreciative, by far. He definitely has the Rockstar cred to be a snotty “Prima Donna”, but is grounded enough not to be. He realizes that without the employees of companies like Dunlop working endless hours behind the scenes, players of his calibre can’t do their job effectively. That in turn makes me love Zakk as a man as well as a player!

Kirk Hammett because when i was a kid lost in world of unknown music and if the magical solos in the songs Enter Sandman and The Unforgiven and Wherever I may Roam could catch te ear of a child and ant this kid to want more and love the wah pedal when i didn’t know what it was or what i was hearing and when a time came when Nu-Metal ruled the world and i driffed away from Metallica, BLS, Ozzy and all the good stuff the idea of becoming a bass player i back tracked on where did metal come from what was the start and who are the masters and when i picked up Madter of Puppets i loved it and i was rediscovering the same sound, style, and love i had for this music and when i listened to Fade to Black i was sold i wanted to become a aguitar player from that day forward so i thank Metallica for my discovery for the music and all of us love and others love to hate so my answer is Mr.Kirk Hammett

Zakk Wylde is my favorite.

Eddie Van Halen is my favorite Dunlop artist of all time!  …… The Reason being is because he was the first person to play guitar so god like and with such a naturally distorted tone with his guitar that he built with his own 2 hands that half the people that heard his leads didn’t even know that that was a guitar producing those crazy sounds/harmonics/tones/Divebombs etc…. and the other half  for the life of them couldn’t figure out how to produce even half of those sounds.Many people had the skill to play similar to him, but there was no close match because Ed’s tone came from such a different place. Now thanks to Dunlop we can now better create many of those legendary tones that Eddie Van Halen produced thought the past years, and hopefully for many more years to come due to their line of Evh Gear.Thanks to Dunlop with the Dunlop Evh-95 Signature Wah, Dunlop Mxr Evh Phase90,And with the Evh signature 117 Flanger I personally fell like I can make my equipment sound more like his.

God Bless,

Phil Demmel and Zakk Wylde. Phil is an awesome lead guitarist, and his work with Machine head has brought some of the most amazing metal to my ears. Everything is top noth with him, every note live is spot on. Zakk is a living legen and a master of the guitar, plus he is a very diverse musician.

Zakk Wylde! He’s been my idol for almost five years, and he has never put anything out that I don’t like. He’s just amazing. It’s as simple as that.

Randy Rhoads – I love the tone through MXR distortion pedal.

Zakk Wylde Of Course … cause in 1988 when I started playing guitar he was playing all those crazy ass pick squeels and bringing the fire back to Ozzy! Also because he is the first guy I heard to sucessfully pull of HEAVY ASS BLUES and make it work! Hes my BIGGEST influence of all time!

Zakk Wylde. Cuz he is a huge talant! Love his sound

zakk wylde of course. he¨s the most down to earth and funny guy around, and when he¨s on stage he’s amazing and unique! and
he puts his soul and heart into the music he plays. and he has a great voice. and he can play alot of different styles aswell.

Pete Townshend. Not exactly the most technical, but quite a wonderful songwriter and rhythm player.

Zakk Wylde: Cos his tone is fatter than me! AND IM FAT!

Jim root

My favourite dunlop artist would probably be Zoltan Bathory from Five finger death punch because he Influances and inspires me in lots of ways especially his heavy playing style and I also do MMA like him haha

kerry king because he is kerry king

Jeff Hanneman because hi fast M.F.

Zakk´s ultimate , we both bleeding black

Black Joe Lewis & the Honeybears!  They put those ants in my pants and I need to dance.

James Hetfield, Kirk Hammett, Slash, Zakk Wylde, Jerry Cantrell…I started playing guitar 17 years ago and these are just a few of the people that I tried to learn techniques from in an effort to possibly become some other dude’s favorite Dunlop Artist someday!  Cheers!

Jimmy Page…the man

zakk, he`s just the best, i have a over drive of his from MXR

Zakk Wylde because he is the type of guitarist that actually has a passion for music. He is the reason why I only use Dunlop/MXR products.

I am going to have to vote for Matt Heafy, due to the fact that i just like Trivium allot, they are a awesome band and have allot of guitar licks that sound amazing, and they are also a big fan of all the music that i like and they are cool guys if you watch their documentaries.
