Pride and Glory (band)

Pride and Glory was a side project formed by guitarist Zakk Wylde, best known at that time for his prior work with vocalist Ozzy Osbourne. It was the first project for which the guitarist also served as lead vocalist, prior to releasing his first solo-album, 1996's Book of Shadows. Wylde subsequently formed the band Black Label Society in 1998, which remains active.

For the band's 1994 eponymous debut album, see Pride and Glory (album).

Overview

Formed in 1991 during what was then billed as Ozzy Osbourne's farewell tour following the 1991 No More Tears album, Wylde recruited the former White Lion rhythm section of bassist James LoMenzo and drummer Greg D'Angelo, and originally wanted to name the southern rock-inspired project Lynyrd Skynhead.[3] This lineup recorded two songs, an instrumental entitled "Farm Fiddlin'" for a 1991 compilation album entitled The Guitars That Rule the World, and a cover of the blues-standard "Baby, Please Don't Go" for the 1992 L.A. Blues Authority Vol. 1 compilation.

By early 1994, the band had changed their name to Pride & Glory, with D'Angelo departing and being replaced by Brian Tichy. That year, Pride & Glory released their one and only album on Geffen Records and performed as a main-stage act at the Donington Monsters of Rock Festival in England in June of that year. In November 1994, LoMenzo left after a tour of Japan, three days before Pride & Glory were scheduled to begin a US Tour. Scrambling, Wylde quickly managed to find a replacement in his long-time friend, John DeServio, who grew up with Wylde in New Jersey. Pride & Glory played their final show on December 10, 1994, in Los Angeles.

Following the 1994 demise of the Pride & Glory project, Wylde would intermittently perform with Osbourne again while also forming the band Black Label Society in 1998, for which he also serves as lead vocalist.

1998 Reunion show

On January 31, 1998, the lineup of Wylde, LoMenzo, and Tichy reunited for a one-off reunion show at the Whisky a Go Go in Hollywood.[4]
