Legendary shredder, self-described 'Berserker,' and all-around badass Zakk Wylde has contributed his incredible talents to an unexpected project. Disney has released a compilation of guitar instrumental covers of songs from their movies by some of the greatest contemporaries to ever pick up a guitar. Titled Disney Super Guitar, the compilation finds technical wizzes like Orianthi, George Lynch of Dokken and Lynch Mob, Phil X of Bon Jovi, Paul Gilbert of Mr. Big and Racer X and more covering songs like “Under The Sea,” "A Whole New World,” “Can You Feel The Love Tonight?,” “Colors of the Wind” and more.
The results are what you would expect. The Black Label Society frontman's cover of "Beauty and the Beast" showcases his skill on the guitar. Complete with giant backing riffs and his signature, Wylde, who is a beast of a man himself, adds his signature flair to the Disney classic.

Wydle discussed his role as Ozzy Osbourne's guitarist after stepping away from it for 8 years when he stopped by New York City's Q1043.
"The reason we're on this tour...Oz was like, 'Hey Zakk, listen. This Conor McGregor fight with Mayweather. Everything you've made with me since the first album...take it all, the house, the money, everything, put it all on McGregor to win the fight...I'm doing the same thing,'" Wylde joked.
