Ozzy ditching Zakk!

[Tekky]

Lots of misinformation about that. My father has cirhossis and he was a moderate drinker. It can come from a lot of different contributing factors - but yes, alcohol is one of them.

It's part of the point I'm trying to make. Nobody mentioned officially what the actual cause of the clots were.

I wasn't stating he had liver problems or alcohol related. I was asking. Thats why I used a question mark at the end of the sentence. Knowing he has a history of drinking. My dad was a massive alcoholic but he didn't think he was because he would say "I only drink beer, not gin or anything."

Since the liver is an organ that deals with controlling blood chemistry I was curious if that had any implications to the blood clots. I wasn't trying to say "God hates Zakk Wylde and is trying to kill him for his wicked ways." I did recall reading something somewhere that he had blood clots in his legs so it's interesting that they showed up in his lungs as well.

I think regardless there is probably an interesting story for why he is having these health problems.

I dont understand this. Its been reported time and time again that Zakk doesn't drink nearly as much as people think. In the 80's people drank gallon's of jack, shooting heroin and snorting a eightball of cocain for breakfast, and Zakk is drunk? Some of you guys are a little nitpicky.

It's conjecture, and of course the article doesn't elaborate. A lot of us lived that life in the 80s and drank and did drugs, it's not judgmental to wonder if perhaps long-term abuse of his body may have led to this point.

We know he's been in rehab, we know he's thrown drunken fits at shows, these are documented occurrences. I'm sure he's upset about the whole scenario with Ozzy and feeling slighted, that increases the chances that he's had some drinks to try and chill out.

Of course nobody knows at this point, and other than between Zakk and his doctor, nobody else may ever find out. But there's enough documentation of his activities over the years that it's natural that the conjecture would lead towards drinking having an effect.

from what I've read he really doesn't drink as much as he portrays. Granted these were magazine and internet articles so the truth will never really be known, but I read more then once all his beer drinking was part of a show, (I have seen him live and he really does throw and spill more hen he drinks onstage) and in reality has a few after a show to cool out. I always kinda considered him as much of an alcholic as a biker. Don't get me wrong I love Zakk of yesteryear, and still appreciate what he does, I just think he needs to be himself alittle more. Also I grew up in the 80's also so I know all about real "partying"

Not that easy to pin down...Could be old injuries, left atrial appendage, thyroid, liver?...who knows. He's really lucky he didn't stroke out. Over time the clots in his lungs should resorb, be on blood thinners for a while.

Further updates on Zakk’s medical condition will become available as they are known.

Maybe they will bury him in one of these?




(Too soon? I don't hope the guy dies or anything. It's just... kinda ironic.)

[Jacksonguy666]

That wasn't funny.

[MakeAJazzNoiseHere]

:dunno:

So sue me.

[Grandturk]

That wasn't funny.

Sardonic, though. And humorous as well. I'm with you JazzNoise. But of course, I wish Zakk well, after all, he used to play in my fake cousin's band back in the day.

[Hellbat]

I thought it was funnier than a guy with an accent reviewing his guitar.

And too soon is what makes it funny. Ask Sacha Baron Cohen.

[toxikdeth]

That wasn't funny.

But your thread about the review waz...

I think it is morally wrong to joke about death. Because regardless of whether or not you like him, he is a human being. He has parents, brothers, sisters, a wife, and possibly kids. (I'm not sure about any of those accept for the wife )
