COMMENTS:

Guitar World is proud to announce the magazine’s first-ever Rock & Roll Roast with inaugural honoree Zakk Wylde. Presented by Epiphone Guitars and sponsored by Monster Energy Drink, EMG Pickups, Revolver Magazine, Marshall Amplification, Dunlop, Eagle Rock, Marshall Headphones, E1 and Samson; a portion of all proceeds will go to the MusiCares charity. Roastmaster Sharon Osbourne and other metal-loving luminaries will all take aim at the Black Label Society frontman and guitar icon, best known for his incredible axe chops, his golden locks and his signature Bullseye guitar line. Fresh from her recent stint on the Judas Priest tour, Lady Starlight (Lady Gaga’s resident DJ) will also be on hand to serve as the evening’s official DJ.

This show will kick off on the opening night of the 2012 NAMM Show in Anaheim, CA. More information and details on sponsorship opportunities are available at www.rockandrollroast.com
