An amateur shot video, roughly five minutes in length, showing an 18 year old Zakk Wylde in 1985 performing on stage with his High school band ZYRIS, right before he would go on to land his gig with OZZY in 1987 can be viewd below. This is the earliest known footage of Wylde ever to be captured!

Wylde (born Jeffrey Weilandt) grew up in Jackson, New Jersey, and went to Jackson Memorial High School, where he graduated in 1985. Zakk made his compelling debut on OZZY’s 1988 studio album “No Rest For The Wicked”.
