Zakk Wylde on the time he almost joined Slash and co in Guns N' Roses
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Zakk Wylde has opened up on time he came close to joining Guns N' Roses, and revealed how the ill-fated audition to link-up with Slash and co ultimately resulted in his departure from Ozzy Osbourne's band – and the formation of Black Label Society. The Pantera electric guitar veteran recalled his experiences of jamming with GNR during a new interview with Billy Corgan, whose podcast is becoming something of a hot spot for high-profile tidbits. In the past, Gene Simmons has discussed Ace Frehley's near-disastrous Kiss audition, while Corgan spoke about the differences between rock and 'indie' guitarists with Richie Sambora. With Wylde in the intervew chair, Corgan zoomed in on a lesser-known footnote in his storied career, which took place during the recording of Ozzy's 1995 album, Ozzmosis. At the time, Guns N' Roses were a guitar player down, and Wylde was on a list of potential recruits. 'I think Gilby [Clarke] had left the band and so Axl [Rose] was like, 'Well, who are we going to get on guitar?'' Wylde recalls. 'I guess Slash just threw around and my name came in the mix.' It was Rose who reached out to him. The band was eager to test the waters with a guitarist who had previously been able to fill the sizable shoes of Randy Rhoads and Jake E. Lee in Ozzy's band. 'I knew Slash when I first joined Ozzy, that's when Guns were blowing up,' he continues. 'I knew Steven [Adler] and then I obviously knew Matt [Sorum] from when he was with the Cult. So everybody kind of knows each other. Axl called me up. He was like, 'Zakk, do you want to get together and jam?' I was like, 'Alright, yeah, we'll see what happens.'' Wylde met the group at a rehearsal space and started 'jamming and noodling ideas'. He also recalls they went as far as 'recording a couple of riffs', one of which became The Rose Petalled Garden from Black Label Society's debut LP, Sonic Brew. After their jam, Wylde notes 'nothing was materializing', to the point where Ozzy was left quizzing him over his availability: 'Are you going to do this thing with the fellas or are we doing this thing?' Wylde recalls Ozzy asking him. The guitarist, however, was equally in the dark about the situation. 'Nothing [with Guns N' Roses] was happening,' he continues. 'I remember Oz was getting ready to release the Ozzmosis album and getting ready to tour. Oz was like, 'Zakk, sit down. I'm going to get Joe Holmes to come play for a little while and then we'll see where it happens from there.'' Ultimately, the GNR gig didn't come through for Wylde, he was no longer 'playing with the boss', and the guitarist was left in a difficult spot. He needed another creative outlet to turn his attentions to. 'When we were doing Ozzmosis, there was this place called Bruise on 34th in Lexington,' he goes on. 'The pub had been there since 1908. So, I would go after we got done tracking and I'd be drinking till six in the morning every night, hanging out at the jukebox. 'They had the Stones on there, Bob Seger, Neil Young, the Eagles, all this amazing mellow acoustic stuff. I remember just going back into my room with my acoustic and writing. That's when I did [my solo album] Book of Shadows.' After a short tour in support of the album, Wylde realized he 'wasn't ready to be a singer-songwriter yet'. He wasn't, however, willing to accept that 'the dream was over', despite acknowledging that Ozzy and GNR were moving on without him. And so, he set about building Black Label Society from the ground up. 'I went from playing with Ozzy in arenas, stadiums, and festivals to playing in clubs with like five people,' he says. 'There were no other eggs in my basket.' History dictates that BLS would ultimately be a success, and Wylde would even later return to the Prince of Darkness – but his tale may have been very different if the GNR gig worked out.

Kathryn Wylde, NYC power broker, announces retirement
New York City power-broker Kathryn Wylde, who in 2017 urged local Dems to stop bashing and work with President Donald Trump, announced Thursday that she will retire after more than four decades with the Partnership for New York. Wylde — who joined the pro-business lobby group in 1982 and became CEO of the non-profit in 2011 — has been a vocal advocate for cutting red tape to encourage investment in the Big Apple during both Democratic and Republican administrations. But before riding off into retirement, Wylde warned about curtailing workarounds to the SALT cap such as pass-through entity taxes, known as PTET, that will force companies and big earners to hand over billions more in deductions to state coffers. Advertisement 4 Wylde, 79, said she would retire in June of next year once a recruitment process is complete. Partnership for New York City Amending the PTET loophole was buried in the Trump-backed legislative bill — as The Post reported this week — that was passed by the House earlier in the day. 'New York is a very high tax state right now, and depending on what happens with the federal tax bill, things could get worse. In the congressional bill, it talks about the elimination of the state and local tax deductibility on partnerships and LLCs, which would be terrible for New York,' Wylde told The Post. Advertisement 'The professional services sector is our second-largest employer after healthcare. It's certainly our largest private sector employer, and this is a direct hit at professional services, law firms, accounting firms, consulting firms, technology companies.' The Partnership of New York represents some 350 corporate titans that include banks, law firms and major corporations. The Wisconsin native said that she will leave her post next June once a 12-month recruitment process has been completed by top New York headhunting firm Heidrick & Struggles. 'I'm 79 going on 80. So it's time to pass the baton to the next generation,' Wylde said. 'They want somebody who loves New York City and who understands both the public and private size of the city's power structure.' Advertisement Wylde, whose husband lives in Puerto Rico, said she would not be 'going out to pasture' and planned to remain engaged in the challenges faced by the city. 'I will be writing op-eds that drive everybody crazy,' the sometime Post contributor said. 'I will be able to say anything I want!' Looking back on her long years of service, Wylde singled out the building of 40,000 units of home ownership housing across the five boroughs between 1983 and 1985 as her 'biggest personal accomplishment.' 4 Wylde, seen here with Mayor Eric Adams in 2023, said she would not be 'going out to pasture' and would continue writing about the city she loves. Getty Images for Empire State Realty Trust Advertisement More recently, as the city emerged from the coronavirus pandemic, she issued a rallying cry in the pages of The Post to launch the 'We Love NYC' campaign, urging businesses and locals in the city to step up and 'take it back from the brink.' 4 Wylde's Partnership ripped former Governor Andrew Cuomo, who is running for mayor of New York, over his 2021 plans to raise taxes on the rich. Robert Miller She ripped then-Gov. Andrew Cuomo over plans to hike taxes on New York's wealthy in her March 2021 op-ed. 'Ultimately, these new taxes may trigger a major loss of economic activity and revenues as companies are pressured to relocate operations,' the missive to the now-prospective Democratic candidate for mayor said. Wylde's prediction came to pass. An estimated 125,000 uber-rich New York fled for Florida, leading to the loss of some $14 billion in income, according to a Citizen Budget Commission report this month. 'There's been a significant out-migration of high earners and we've lost their tax revenues, but the biggest danger is the migration of jobs,' she told The Post on Thursday.. 4 The George W. Bush administration called her post-9/11 blueprint for Lower Manhattan 'the Bible' for regenerating the area after the 2001 terror attacks. John Angelillo/UPI/Shutterstock Despite rubbing shoulders with the powerful movers and shakers of New York's business and political world, Wylde still lives in her one-bedroom condo in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. Advertisement Respected by Republicans and Democrats alike, the George W Bush administration labeled her post-9/11 blueprint for Lower Manhattan 'the Bible' of its early response to the 2001 terror attacks. She has also helped behind the scenes to bring in congestion pricing to New York City and reportedly quietly lobbied the Trump administration to walk back its vow to entirely scrap the controversial tolls.

‘We're all feeling the pain:' IT outage delays paychecks for DeKalb Public Health employees
A computer network disruption has caused delays in paychecks for the roughly 350 employees of DeKalb Public Health. [DOWNLOAD: Free WSB-TV News app for alerts as news breaks] 'We're all feeling the pain,' said Bjay Wylde, the agency's chief operating officer. Paychecks were due to go out Wednesday, but he said it could be Friday before they arrive. The problem started Sunday when work on the agency's new tuberculosis unit on Winn Way caused the power to go out, he said. Staff arrived Monday morning to find the building relying on the backup generator. Wylde said the interruption in power led to a crash of the agency's computer network. 'Since that time, we have been troubleshooting the issue, looking for a solution,' Wylde said. 'We're hoping to get something resolved within the next 12 to 48 hours.' TRENDING STORIES: STORY 1 STORY 2 STORY 3 With the computer network down, payroll and phones are out of service and many links on the agency's website don't work. Wylde said without the internet, clinics have had to rely on paper records. 'I do also want to stress that we are still open,' he said. 'We're still serving the public. You can still get death certificates, birth certificates here. We can still see patients.' [SIGN UP: WSB-TV Daily Headlines Newsletter] A letter sent to all employees on Tuesday said in part: 'We sincerely regret any inconvenience that may be caused by this situation.' The letter also said the outage was 'not related to any federal budget impact.' Wylde added that the disruption was not the result of a cyberattack. As for when the problem will get fixed and the system restored, the letter said 'This is a process that will take time.' 'The team, which includes outside IT consultants, has indicated that this will take approximately 48 hours,' it said.
