He’s that guy in your neighborhood you’re scared of until you see him having a tea party with his granddaughter. But you’re still low key scared of him
This is like one of those weird dreams you never share with anybody: a giant bearded viking with a giant nail singing a rock song on a Hello Kitty guitar. And on top of that a bunch of goth Hello kitties flying around
I love it that when he stops playing you could hear if a pin dropped and then everybody starts clapping. My guess was that before the shoot the whole crew was giggling 'cause these badass dude was about to play with a hello kitty guitar, then he straight drops this masterpiece. I wish there was a behind the scene so we could watch the live reaction.
I get the impression that they wanted this to be like a funny, ironic video: a big dude playing a girly guitar, hah hah. Zakk sits down and makes this a serious performance. The art (and the artist) rises above the limits of the instrument and the limited expectations of the spectators/organizers.
Well Iommi played in a bunch of blues rock bands before sabbath, and sabbath is just blues tuned real low with a lot of distortion, but I agree - I never expected this level of bluesyness from an acoustic hello kitty guitar played by zakk wylde no less lmao
What we call musical genres (especially now that people seem to like creating ever finer distinctions between genres more than they like music) are differentiated more by arragment and production than anything. As Otis Redding showed us decades ago if you take the fuzz riff from "Satisfication" and play it on horns that rock song morphs into soul.
Yep, this old 70 year old grandpa of 12 used to love Black Sabbath! Have four Bose 901`s with a fantastic sound system, blasting out Black Sabbath, while passing around a big bowl! Good ole military days! Good music too!
Yeah, I'm 97 years old and listened to black sabbath 23 hours a day, I had a black Sabbath shoe horn that broke last year... I eat and breathe black Sabbath I used to listen to black sabbath while working in the newspaper mill...good times.. Also used to play black Sabbath on the microwave... So many passion and joys... I'm 87 and I will play this song at my funeral
Legend has it, that if Zakk Wylde trims his thumbnail, it will become the pick of legends, highly sought after for the skill it imbues into its wielder.
No idea why, but this works SO much better with this guitar than the real version with his guitar. I think its because of its natural discordance making it sound so dark and hollow. Perfect sound for this song!
@@fartloose it’s not.. I think i may have exaggerated it a bit by saying “SO” much better… But, in all honesty, after listening to the real live performance of him doing this song, i like this better. For the reasons listed above and because i like the vocals much better in this version..
8 years later i come back to this video because there's something just so beautiful about this cover and zakk's whole seriousness put into it. moved to tears, thank god for music
Nib was a nickname of their drummer, who had a "pen nib" shaped beard. The song writer added periods in the song name to make it look mysterious (N.I.B.).
Not only was this video humorous, due to Zakk strumming away on this vintage Hello Kitty guitar, it was also very beautiful! Zakk even kept control over the volume of his voice, thereby not drowning out the guitar sound. Just so much fun to watch!❤
I've seen this exact comment on many videos. Does it make you wonder if RUclips is purchasing this comment? It's a great video. A commercial for hello kitty, with youtube ads surrounding it. Commercials within commercial surrounded by commercials. Weird and wonderful world we live in.

Lol I get the comment but bro axes are literally design to do the job for you, the weight of the head and the shape of the handle ARE what makes a good axe lmao
Zakk Wylde looks like someone you wouldn't want meet in dark alley somewhere. but actually he's really cool and a really decent person. he promotes a lot of organizations for young people to learn and get involved with music. he had a little bit of a drinking problem in the past. but he kicked that and now he's the fantastic musician we all know today. no matter what guitar he's playing.
Every time RUclips brings me back around to this video, I'm reminded it's never the instrument but the artist. In the hands of someone like Zakk Wylde, he manages to make a Hello Kitty guitar sound absolutely ethereal.
Soroosh Mhs, well think of this scenario I am I werewolf who eats the hearts of the innocent every full moon, And I carry a guitar that the devil himself forged in the depths of hell, and whoever crosses me hears my evil guitar and explodes in a great fury of FIRE!!!... Sorry about that I get carried away sometimes.
Ive watched this dozens of times and only realized now how gentle he is with that guitar. He hears the tuning change as the finger rests on it. Since it's a toy it just goes out of tune with any amount of pressure, and is already having issues. He's treating that thing like it's a baby puppy.
I come back to listen to this version every so often. I just love it so much more over the original for may reasons already said in the comments here. Crazy how good it sounds on something considered a toy... Such a great display of pure, raw talent
@Jimmy Jazz who says you have to be a virgin if youre a nerd? my friend loves star wars, has a D&D+star wars tattoo, and loves fantasy and he has a wife and child
if they are set up very well they are usually a good bang for the buck. tried at musikmesse frankfurt guitars from dirt cheap up to 3k. setup, materials and production was usually better at the higher priced ones, but sounded all mostly the same. atleast to me.
@@deepwaterlife48 yeah i feel like if he just put some good quality stings on there it would sound like a normal guitar, but that would defeat the pupose of the video
Many years ago I was angry that the guitarist from some teenie bopper band was playing detestable music on a Zakk Wylde guitar on national television. The next day Zakk Wylde defended the kid and told him to keep rocking. Bitter pill for me to swallow at the time, but I appreciated Zakk Wylde even more after I got over myself. Great guitarist, better guy.
Soooo... Lemme get this straight: A viking play on a hello kitty guitar unplugged, AND sings N.I.B from black sabbath... I didn't came prepared nor drank enough for this...
Gábor Demeter haha, Don’t listen to that knucklehead. Zakk was born in 1967 and black sabbath was formed in 1968. I’m sure he didn’t help form the quintessential heavy metal band in diapers. He did however play lead guitar for Ozzy Osbourne for a period of time though.
This kinda reminds me of when my kid was playing minor hockey. All of the other kids on the team had $200 sticks. I am a single dad and hockey is extremely expensive so I could really only afford cheaper $22 wood sticks. He always led his teams in goals and assists and went on to play college hockey and even had a brief shot with the pros. Moral of story after watching Zack bang out NIB on a $10 guitar. If you are talented...you are talented and having a $8k guitar won't matter if you have $5 hands.
The outstanding part about this video is the sincerity in his performance. He could have made all kinds of silly jokes out of it but kept it real and restrained. Bravo Zakk!
The first time I watched this it finished and I was like "Ha, that's hilarious..." Then a few hours later I put it on in another window while I sent some e-mails. The next day I put it on (loud) while I did some dishes. This is seriously amazing.
This is the first time I watched it (I know, 5 years and just found it, WTF is wrong with me) and it was amazing. I did not expect it to sound that good.
Imagine the shock on the camera crew and everyone who was there. Zakk casually plays Black Sabbath on a hello kitty guitar and he makes it sound god like. Im jealous to everyone who was there that day

Saw this a few years ago. Popped in my head to watch again tonight. Amazed that the 'Hello Kitty' stayed in tune for the entire song. May be a quality instrument
May be a top player that knows how to not stress too much the instrument. Look how soft he played and sang, he used very soft touch from già fingernails
The instrument should be total doodoo. But im pretty sure theyve set it up to sound as good as it could. Some fret work, better saddle and nut. Of course, good quality strings.
I’m more impressed that he sang the whole song without opening his mouth once.
he singing on his nose it's obvious

And I carry a guitar that the devil himself forged in the depths of hell, and whoever crosses me hears my evil guitar and explodes in a great fury of FIRE!!!... Sorry about that I get carried away sometimes.
Zakk is metal as fuck with that bag lady overgrown thumb nail as a pick.
"Brutal" - Nathan explosion
Soroosh Mhs a man is a man no matter the colour big balls rock on.
Agreed
I love when musicians even more can show sense of humour and he's doing this ironically or unironically
This might be my favorite performance of this song.
Idk but I low-key like it over the original
Friend: Hey, what kind of music do you listen to?
Me: It's complicated. . .
:-)) :-))
Haha, nice!
It's not complicated, it's easy: Acoustic metal
I laughed out loud at this comment
Shut up, unoriginal dumb ass.
And up next, Eddie Van Halen playing a Hendrix medley on the kazoo.
I thought that was Walter Brennan on an ocarina.
Lol.
@Jonathan Chiarkas He could string up an old pickle and play it. Oops... :-)
Finally, jimmy page on the theremin.
That be funny
Ive watched this dozens of times and only realized now how gentle he is with that guitar. He hears the tuning change as the finger rests on it. Since it's a toy it just goes out of tune with any amount of pressure, and is already having issues. He's treating that thing like it's a baby puppy.
'62 kitties are an overlooked classic
I prefer the ‘59 model, it’s got a slightly warmer sound and the neck is a bit smoother
That fingernail is considered a deadly weapon in 29 states....
If the police catch u with this nail
you come for a long time in jail
A McK and a known carcinogen in California
I THOUGHT IT WAS A PICK
His wife enjoys his nail for stimulation
Scott Wales WHOOOSH
“N.I.B.” is one of my favorite Black Sabbath tunes, but Mr. Wylde took it to a higher plateau here...with a toy guitar, to boot. I salute him. 🤟🏻🎸
I come back to listen to this version every so often. I just love it so much more over the original for may reasons already said in the comments here. Crazy how good it sounds on something considered a toy... Such a great display of pure, raw talent
Zakk literally took 10 lvls of bard and 10 lvls of barbarian. He is the epitome of the bard-barian.
Nerd
@Jimmy Jazz who says you have to be a virgin if youre a nerd? my friend loves star wars, has a D&D+star wars tattoo, and loves fantasy and he has a wife and child
My favorite class 🎸⚔️
@Jimmy Jazz ook ook people who like things that i dont dont exist ook ook
A bardarian?
This is like a middle finger to those guitar reviewers that keep saying cheap guitars are garbage.
if they are set up very well they are usually a good bang for the buck. tried at musikmesse frankfurt guitars from dirt cheap up to 3k. setup, materials and production was usually better at the higher priced ones, but sounded all mostly the same. atleast to me.
I mean...
I feel like every note is partially correct but you also hear this weird additional twang that shouldn't be there.
@@JonesCrimson nylon strings.
@@deepwaterlife48 yeah i feel like if he just put some good quality stings on there it would sound like a normal guitar, but that would defeat the pupose of the video
The kitty sounds like shit.
Many years ago I was angry that the guitarist from some teenie bopper band was playing detestable music on a Zakk Wylde guitar on national television. The next day Zakk Wylde defended the kid and told him to keep rocking. Bitter pill for me to swallow at the time, but I appreciated Zakk Wylde even more after I got over myself. Great guitarist, better guy.
Take a page from his book, gatekeeper
@@themonsteraddictmmxvi1564 he already did. Just like how he mentioned.
Amazing human to admit that publicly. Here for it.
“Take a page from his book . . .” Using an idiom about books after you misreading a simple paragraph is… an odd choice
What band was that?
NIB is an amazing song, sung and played by zakk Wylde himself. On a freaking child's guitar. Perfection.
*sits down to rehearse* "damn, I lost my fingernail. I can't ever keep track of those damn things"
Garrett Lewis use a pick 😂
I've learned from TheDooo to NEVER EVER underestimate a hello kitty guitar.
Agreed
Agreed as well mate
I have never watched anything from thedooo. His thumbnails immediately turns me away.
@@haagenneldeberg6787 his content is pretty cringe so don’t bother.
@@gabrielbrouwer just like every youtube "musicians?"
I actually really like his voice
Same here man. He sings this song perfect.
well he's a fantastic singer.. that's probably why
This might sound crazy, but I honestly think that Zakk Wylde's true talent is best shown on acoustic guitar.
Soooo... Lemme get this straight: A viking play on a hello kitty guitar unplugged, AND sings N.I.B from black sabbath... I didn't came prepared nor drank enough for this...
Umm no
Gábor Demeter haha, Don’t listen to that knucklehead. Zakk was born in 1967 and black sabbath was formed in 1968. I’m sure he didn’t help form the quintessential heavy metal band in diapers. He did however play lead guitar for Ozzy Osbourne for a period of time though.
No worries ill drink enough for both of us
You spell drunk enough for everybody lol
@Forrest Hunter he's just a little confused, hahaha
I love the passion he puts in his playing.
That guitar had a cigarette after that...
...or smoked a bowl. XD
Evil Koala- I know, right?I usually just bang a line of coke. Ammirite??

Very few RUclips comments illicit a genuine LOL but this one did the trick with grace.
this guy is really gonna go somewhere someday. i can feel it.
Please come up with something unique to say instead of regurgitating stuff that has been said a thousand times on just as many RUclips videos.

This kinda reminds me of when my kid was playing minor hockey.
All of the other kids on the team had $200 sticks.
I am a single dad and hockey is extremely expensive so I could really only afford cheaper $22 wood sticks.
He always led his teams in goals and assists and went on to play college hockey and even had a brief shot with the pros.
Moral of story after watching Zack bang out NIB on a $10 guitar. If you are talented...you are talented and having a $8k guitar won't matter if you have $5 hands.
God just spoke threw you
Ned Martin Truer words have never been spoken, sir!!!!!
I honestly love his voice
Well he was a vocalist for a bit
The outstanding part about this video is the sincerity in his performance. He could have made all kinds of silly jokes out of it but kept it real and restrained. Bravo Zakk!
He looks like a human version of The Lorax
😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂
Dude this IS the lorax
I'm the zakklax and I speak for the trees
He is the lorax he speaks for the trees, if you cut any down, he'll break your knees.
Clicked because of the thumbnail, stayed because of the thumbnail
fcrfortes haha hah ahhha yess 🤣🤟
You sir are a genius
Perfect
Most under rated comment right hurr
Fantastic
Pretty sure that fingernail would not pass through airport security
This killed me. 😂😂😂✌️
That is a proper coke nail
I bet it would sure as hell pass through some toilet paper tho
@@JasonTAho I just busted out laughing dude that's nasty
I just realised he wasn't using a pick
You gotta love Zakk, humble, hilarious & super talented
The first time I watched this it finished and I was like "Ha, that's hilarious..." Then a few hours later I put it on in another window while I sent some e-mails. The next day I put it on (loud) while I did some dishes. This is seriously amazing.
Totally my reaction too; I just hate that this version is not on Spotify!
This is the first time I watched it (I know, 5 years and just found it, WTF is wrong with me) and it was amazing. I did not expect it to sound that good.
@@jdjj1790 and that's I use RUclips over Spotify, all unofficial / unreleased gems like this
Imagine the shock on the camera crew and everyone who was there. Zakk casually plays Black Sabbath on a hello kitty guitar and he makes it sound god like. Im jealous to everyone who was there that day
Somehow, playing N.I.B on a hello kitty guitar makes the song even more metal
Honestly I like this version more than the og sabbath song
Yeah that legit was a hard ass acoustic cover. Worth $ lol.
Dripping skill
This acoustic adaptation is simply awesome.
Makes it punk
It's Zakk Wilde. He's so metal he doesn't need electricity, a drummer, a singer...
One of the best performances I've ever seen. Got the joke, but this is seriously good.
I come here once a month to restore my faith in humanity.
This video just came out pretty much... been no where near a month lol
@@levidavis1093 you're an idiot....lol.... I watched it when it first was published in Feb of 2016. Check the date above and views... nice of you to finally catch up though.
Nice pod cast by the way ron lmao fake account
@@trucker1864 pod cast? fake account? wtf are you talking about?
@@ronburgundy4266 guy thinks Ron Burgundy is an actual person who has a podcast? and he is accusing you of creating a fake account, and that you are not actually Ron Burgundy?
the value of that guitar just went up 100000%
Andrew Sutton Indeed, just checked online in a local sales website and the price was $200!!! WTF? I live in Colombia by the way, so, whoever is selling that guitar online is a goddamn thief.
How sad is it that this cover sounds amazing
Saw this a few years ago. Popped in my head to watch again tonight. Amazed that the 'Hello Kitty' stayed in tune for the entire song. May be a quality instrument
May be a top player that knows how to not stress too much the instrument. Look how soft he played and sang, he used very soft touch from già fingernails
The instrument should be total doodoo.
But im pretty sure theyve set it up to sound as good as it could.
Some fret work, better saddle and nut. Of course, good quality strings.
Expected to see a joke of a video, got the best NIB cover instead. My day is good again
