This thread isn't for "tehe my favorite album".  It is for those of you that have experienced the musical masterpiece known as Book of Shadows.  



My first time hearing the album was 96 when my parents bought it.  I've been borderline addicted to it ever since.  The music, the emotion, the lyrics, it's all just bordering on absolute perfection.  For those of you who never heard of Zakk until Guitar Hero, decided he was a douche, and wandered in amazement how people could like him so much; Book of Shadows is why....plus Pride & Glory

Let's dive right the fuck in:  Sold my Soul, arguably the best song on the album with what's IMO the best solo Zakk has ever done.


Road Back Home, if this doesn't move you check your pulse


Dead as Yesterday, probably his best vocal work ever


If none of that is your thing, here's a cover of Going to California done about the same time as BoS.

Cover of going to California was really awesome. I wonder if Chris Cornell has ever covered that, he would tear that up.

That is my "deserted island album". Beautiful compilation of music. Never a bad choice

Ive been a Zakk fan since the Pride and Glory days. I even saw them in concert.

Book of Shadows 2 is a great album as well.

I have ALL of Zakks solo work. P&G, BoS, BLS.

Great solo album. Road Back Home has to be my favorite track off BOS.



I love Pride & Glory also. I own every album Zakk has ever done.

Saw him in concert a dozen times or more and hung out with him a couple times.

Awesome, awesome album.

I love that cover of Going to California.



ETA:  Everyone I've ever showed that clip of Machine Gun Man has been impressed with his performance.

I haven't completely warmed up to BoS2 yet.  I don't know if he gave up on his vocal range or if it was the blood clots, but the past few albums leave me wanting way more for vocals.
