Blew the roof off the place

Nobody in that audience has ever heard guitar playing like that except randy

Not his calling, too cheesy

Can they edit out JLo?

I honestly never watched this show again once he was voted out!

That's a "stay the F away!!" right here 0:20

And Zakk ruined this song with all those danged overplayed & annoying pinch harmonics !!!!

He sounds like Shannon Hoon

James Durbin has a multi-album deal with the Italian record company Frontiers and is about to release a new heavy metal album in 2024. Ironically, the same record label the co-writer of this song, Jim Peterik, is on as a member of the group Pride of Lions. Bo Bice, who sang Peterik's song "Vehicle" on Idol, has co-written with Peterik on the Ides of March song "Love or Something Like It" from their Play On album (Bo also sings co-lead vocals with Peterik on the song). Another American Idol alum, Leslie Hunt, has a new song coming out in January 2024 on Peterik's upcoming World Stage album. She previously sang some songs on his Tigress World Stage album including the wonderful song, "Brave is Beautiful".

They had to repair the building after this performance.

Zakks awesome as always 🎉

His hair looks like a middle aged southern woman....

Zakk literally melted everybody’s dick right off into oblivion. Everybody’s swinging dick.

Those Clown Judges aint gotta Clue unless its a Frickin Hip Hop Black Song!!!

🙂

Zakk great man as usual 🤣😝🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽

Dude sucks

Top

Turn up the damn guitar

Embarrassing.

JLo was looking good in 2011 damn

Lol 99% zakk 1% Steven Tyler

Wow, the judges didn't even mention Sammy's name. 😔

I had the privilege of meeting Zakk on the no more tears tour with OZZY. Great guy.

Who the f*ck is James Durbin?.....and where is he now in 2023?

That guitar solo may have just make the audiences fainted.

We all clicked on here for zakk

1:51... good God... no joke on that note. whoa.

All these years later, and Durbin is still one of my favorite contestants. He was an inspiration to kids with disabilities everywhere. It still blows my mind, the tremendous healing powers of music.

Steven Tyler shat his pants.

The only time you'll hear aggressive pinch harmonics on American idol.

Lol 🤣

Adam Lambert is way better

That guitar player has a future...

Hate to say it, but he was WAY pitchy - not on the highest notes, but earlier, when he kept not quite coming up to pitch, or was taking too long. Yeah, Zakk is a guitar guru, but there, he just seemed to have overplayed it, and it bore little relation to the original, and wasn't near as good. I think he has an amazing voice, and could go far in hard rock and heavy metal; but Sammy is not trivial to cover, and he was in his prime, then.

Zakk 1% of power

Our choice my ass the competition was rigged, James should've won

The only year I ever watched. Otherwise fuck this show

Zakk shreds, as usual, then humbly point to the singer. Love me some Zakk.

CLEANBREAK!

never get on a stage with zakk, he will always steal the show

A metal god blessing his presence to help a mere Insect

This guy was on stage performing with a guitar legend to another rock legend. I mean this had to be huge for him regardless of the American Idol.

You all understand this is the BEST PERFORMANCE EVER on this show right? Not an opinion, a fact! 🤘🤘

Love that he picked a Sammy Hagar song Sammy Hagar has a very high range If he picked Van Halen’s dreams Then he would have won it

Shout out to James Durbin for rocking out one of my favorite Sammy Hagar tunes heavy-metal. Zach Wylde killed it! 🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻👏

Nope 👎🏼

Zakk solo makes me chill each time I hear it. Better than ASMR! 😄

Zakk is like, “Dude, dont bend like that with your crotch in my face bro while I’m shredding”

This was back when the show was actually good
