Guitar Legend Zakk Wylde and Wife Barbaranne Welcome Fourth Child on Fourth of July
LOS ANGELES, CA, July 6th, 2012: Legendary guitar icon Zakk Wylde and his wife,Barbaranne, welcomed their fourth child on Wednesday, a son, named Sabbath Page Wielandt Wylde. Sabbath was born on July 4th at 11:40pm, weighing 8lbs 1.3oz.
“Me and my Immortal Beloved, Barbaranne, are blessed to have our fourth little Berzerker, Sabbath Page Wielandt Wylde,” states Wylde. “He is named after all things beyond Fonzarelli approved: Black Sabbath, Jimmy Page, and my father, Jerome Wielandt, who was a World War II Veteran.”
In the two decades since Ozzy Osbourne hired him away from his job at a New Jersey gas station to become his new guitarist, Zakk Wylde has established himself as a guitar icon known and revered the world over. Writing and recording with Osbourne led to multi-platinum success, inspiring him to create the now legendary Black Label Society (BLS) in 1998. Wylde has won nearly every guitar award imaginable, and is a major influence on a new battalion of rock guitarists currently popular today.

Hi! I'm Peter Hodgson. I write for Gibson.com, Australian Guitar, Australian Musician, Mixdown Magazine (including my instructional column, 'Unleash Your Inner Rock God,' which has been running since 2007), Blunt, Beat (including their weekly hard rock/metal column Crunch) and The Brag. And I'm Assistant Social Coordinator with Seymour Duncan.
I've been playing guitar since I was 8 years old, and I've been writing for magazines since I was 18. I've also worked as a guitar teacher (up to 50 students a week), a setup tech, a newspaper editor, and I've also dabbled in radio a little bit. I live in Melbourne, Australia, and my hobbies include drinking way too much coffee, and eating way too much Mexican food.
