BEST MUSICIAN YOU’VE EVER SEEN: Zakk Wylde. I caught him at the Bayou in D.C. years ago. It was incredible. He played every instrument on stage with the exception of the drums. But we all know that drums aren’t a real instrument. I do question if he is actually a real musician because I believe that a real musician must be able to read music and I’m not sure if he does.
