BLAIR & ZAKK WYLDE!
Dear ChiliPal,
So many things have been going on in Death Sauce Land over the last few months.
So much in fact that I could not explain everything in just one e-Mail. Over the next couple of weeks I will be sending out several additional messages covering many exciting topics.
Today I want to announce that Blair’s and Zakk Wylde have partnered in a unique line of “Berserker Brand” Hot Sauces. As I am sure many of you know Zakk Wylde has been The lead axe man With Ozzy Osbourne for almost 20 years and has an incredible following of millions of fans from around the world. I am very honored to be working with him directly on this project and was psyched to learn he has been a long time Death Sauce fan, not to mention a fellow Jersey boy. We will be launching 4 unique sauces in June 2008. These sauces will be available via www.extremefood.com and www.zakkwylde.com, Ozzfest, As well as many other major retailers around the globe that will be announced soon.
Take a look at the prototype of the label below as well as a message directly from Zakk. Again this is a very exciting event for Blair’s and we look forward to millions of new chiliheads joining us in using and collecting both Zakk’s sauces as well as my reserves. Enjoy the ride!
FEEL ALIVE!
Your ChiliPal,
PS: Please note it has just come to my attention that several hundred emails have been sent to me and were buried in my spam folder. If you did not get a response, please send and questions or comments to blair@extremefood.com and I promise to respond.
FROM ZAKK WYLDE:
“When it came time to choose a company to introduce a recipe of flavors geared towards my fan base, the Berserkers, only one company was considered: Blair’s.
So I made the call right away.
Blair¹s Death Sauce has taken first position in my rack of flavors for sometime, and it¹s been my go-to sauce for anything I’ve cooked, grilled or recently killed that needs that extra punch. The thought that I could build on that Blair’s tradition, and bring it to my audience is huge. And it’s getting bigger since we decided one flavor is not enough- so we’re going with 4 flavors to launch.”
ABOUT ZAKK WYLDE:
Zakk
Wylde’s tenure as Ozzy Osbourne’s axe slinging side-kick has brought him fame in front of a large audience over the past two decades. However, it’s Wylde’ rock band Black Label Society (BLS) that has brought him notoriety amongst a hard core crowd of music lovers known in Black Label’s world as Berserkers. The fans, who have Black Label Society chapters around the globe, wear their BLS colors with great pride. A musical gang of beer drinkers, they rally under the mantra SDMF, which means Strength Determination, Merciless, Forever. “It’s a tribute to family and God” according to Wylde. From 1999’s “Sonic Brew” album to the current “Shot To Hell” release, one thing is certain- Black Label Society’s recorded output has never disappointed rock loyalists.
Look for a new BLS album in 2009.

I have been an Ozzy fan forever and a huge Zakk Wylde fan (ever when he left Ozzy’s band from 1995-2001) and have followed his career and music faithfully. He rules. I really liked the cameo he had on Damageplan’s album. He’s such a multiple threat. I have some of his guitar lessons on DVD as a matter of fact. Not even a Guitar God like Zakk can help my playing though.
I spoke with Zakk earlier this year at a guitar shop here in town. He was giving a young guitar student a free guitar, (any guitar in the shop and the kid picks a Gibson SG WTF?), anyways, Zakk Wylde is a great guy. A little freaky looking with the long hair and big bushy beard, but great to talk to.
The Berserker moniker is actually the name of a film that Zakk is writing and producing. Talk about marketing potential, a movie title with four hot sauce labels attached to it? That should do well.
Ok, I’m done gushing.
EXTREEEEM !!!
I wanted to say a Huge “Thank you” to the incredible bunch of Chiliheads and Berserkers who have sent me emails in the last few days …You Guys and Gals Really Make it Happen…FEEL ALIVE BLAIR

Dear Blair,
Mine would be one of those burried emails. I would greatly appreciate it if you would take the time to dig it out. It would be from platinumpainting@msn.com. I have tried calling your office twice and left a number to call back, then sent you an email. Still no response.
I am excited to see what the Berserker sauces taste like and would love to buy some posters of the label if available. My middle sons name is Zackary Wilder, and I think he would be pretty happy if I framed one for his bedroom wall.
Still trying to be your chilipal,
Sam
