ZAKK WYLDE Performs On 'American Idol' (Video) - Apr. 13, 2011
BLACK LABEL SOCIETY/ex-OZZY OSBOURNE guitarist Zakk Wylde performed the SAMMY HAGAR classic "Heavy Metal" with James Durbin, the 22-year-old rocker from Santa Cruz, California, on tonight's (Wednesday, April 13) episode of "American Idol".

"Give metal a chance!" Durbin said to the camera in the preview package that aired before his performance.

Wylde said afterward that Durbin "sang his ass off."

"That felt really, really real!" judge Jennifer Lopez exclaimed. "I really loved that. I don't know what these are sounding like at home but here they are killing it dead," she said. "Who would have ever thought that on 'Idol' we would have heavy metal?"

Fellow judges Randy Jackson and Steven Tyler were equally impressed. "My God, you guys were just at a James Durbin concert, at a Zakk Wylde concert," Jackson told the audience. "I'm happy you stuck to your guns," he told Durbin of going against mentor Jimmy Iovine's recommendation. "We always tell contestants to 'do you' and tonight you did you. ... I can see you onstage with Ozzy at the next Ozzfest! Durbin rocks!"

"Outstanding, Durbin," Tyler said. "I'm glad you went with your feelings. ... Nice lip to Jimmy, man."

Durbin made "Idol" history earlier this season when he sang the first JUDAS PRIEST track "You've Got Another Thing Comin'", marking the first time PRIEST was ever performed on the main stage.

What keeps BLS writing music and doom troopin? to this day, and what can we expect to see over the rest of this year?

Out touring. At the end of this month we are in Europe. Then getting back in July. Then to South America, then over to Asia. Then we are gonna do a tour acoustic thing with maybe Father Slash and some other friends.

What led you to doing American Idol?

Chris Jericho called me up. We always like to take a piss at each other. He was like, ?Hey what?s up man?? I am sitting here with one of the guys in American Idol (James Durbin) and was wondering if maybe you wanted to come on the show?? He takes OZZY shit and makes it sound great. Called me and I was there Tuesday and had it filmed on Thursday.
