Wylde And Shatner Cover Sabbath [Video]

(gibson) William Shatner has dropped a couple of tantalizing tweets suggesting that he and Zakk Wylde have recorded a cover of the Black Sabbath classic, “Iron Man.” As reported by MusicRadar, Shatner posted the following statement on his Twitter: “Just watched tracks being laid down by Zakk Wylde of Black Label Society for my upcoming record SEEKING MAJOR TOM.” Shatner followed with a tweet that read: “Zakk is one of the great guitarists who played with Ozzy Osbourne. A master playing a cover of ‘Iron Man’. He’s fantastic! I’m energized.”

Shatner’s 1968 album, The Transformed Man, remains one of the most maligned, parodied and unintentionally funny albums of all time. Regarded today as a cult classic, the disc features Shatner doing Shakespearean readings of “Mr. Tambourine Man,” “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds” and other hits of the day. On the other hand, his 2004 collaborative album with Ben Folds, a disc titled Has Been, drew stellar reviews.
