Zakk Wylde (instagram.com/zakkwyldebls/) opens up about Ozzy's final show, the 17 days that followed, Dimebag's unfinished recordings, and the making of Black Label Society (blacklabelsociety.com/) 's crushing new album Engines of Demolition.

• No More Tears was rehearsed but Ozzy pulled it on the day.

• Just 17 days after the show, Ozzy passed away unexpectedly.

• Zakk envisioned a global Back to the Beginning charity tour series.
• A sober Zakk and Ozzy watched their blasted crew destroy a Tokyo restaurant.
• Dimebag left hours of unfinished song ideas on tape for potential release.
• Playing Dime's solos means staying faithful — like Stevie Ray covering Hendrix.
• Zakk and Eddie Van Halen's amp, calling it life-altering history.
