Semi Update

To everyone who still may visit here I have something new today, it isn't much but it may help. I have acquired a picture of the mystery man Mr. Daniel Bauguess. The face of a winner.
I have also been tipped off to info that he may have been recently removed from the marriage that he had. (You know the wedding that we all paid for.) That he may have also retreated back to Florida. SO if anyone visiting this site recognizes this man
please find anything you can about where this man resides or if he is going to try and rip a third group of people off.

All quiet on ALL FRONTS!!!!!

In what to me is an unsettling feeling the amount of information coming into me has not been all that fruitful pertaining to this deal. It seems to me that the customers in this that had taken legal action, and were trying to make contacts to certain people of media outlets and so forth have suddenly stopped sending emails. The forum that is open for discussion on this topic at ZakkWylde.com has turned into nothing but a bickerfest that leads to people being banned for turning on each other.
There are certain people whom I have had contact with that have promised me some information on the other side of this deal that has turned out to be useful, and other information that has been equally un useful.
I am writing this article, because I know that there are people that have taken care of their end of the deal. Whether that being through a chargeback through their CC company, through litigation against 357, or whatever means that may be. What I am asking is for peoples advise to the people who are still out money on this deal. For those of you have received chargebacks I ask that you please contact the person whom you spoke to at your respective companies, and ask them what advice they have for other people of the same company or a contact that can be reached so that people can get their money back. If people are in individual, or group lawsuits I would like to know what the position, and progress of these cases are so that I can keep people in the loop about what is going on here. I do not want the flames to die anymore. If anything I want the fire to ignite higher than it has ever been.
If anyone has any information pertaining to Daniel contact me. Also I am looking for any information that you can dig up on the man who owned 357 Customs before Daniel. All that I know is that his name is Nick, and that even though he does not own 357 he still has interests in it.
If anyone has anything else that would help, like any contact into a big news organization that would want to help get our story out now is the time to get me some contact information.

Thank You,

Zakk Wylde Interview about 357 Customs

Tuesday, July 04, 2006

Chad Dyer steps down as webmaster

Posted on the frontpage of Zakkwylde.com was the following message.


BERSERKERS:

I have volunteered as the webmaster of zakkwylde.com for the past 2 years, and before that from 2001-2003. I acted as webmaster out of my love for Zakk and everyone in the BLS camp, and have never asked for or received any payment for my role.

Based on recent events related to the 357 Customs promotion, Zakk has requested that I resign as webmaster of zakkwylde.com, and in respect of his wishes, I have agreed to resign.

To clear up some confusion, I want to acknowledge that while I was acting as webmaster for zakkwylde.com, I was hired by 357 Customs to be its webmaster. I didn’t realize that this would create a conflict of interest, and I didn’t clear it with Zakk, his management or anyone else in the BLS camp. When Daniel Baugess asked me to post a promotion for 357 Customs on zakkwylde.com, I assumed the promotion was legitimate and would not be a problem, so I posted it, again without clearing it. I now realize that it was a mistake to not inform Zakk and his management of my dual role, and to post the promotion on zakkwylde.com without authorization.

I want you to be aware that I was also hurt by 357 Customs, as they failed to pay me as promised for the work I did for their website. I also feel 357 Customs has damaged my reputation and the reputation of my company, of which I've worked incredibly hard for the past six years to build ON MY OWN. Therefore, I plan to pursue legal remedies against 357.

It's been an honor and a privilege to serve as webmaster for zakkwylde.com.

Thank you sincerely

-Chad Dyer

Disappointed Fan Sells His Memorabilia

The original website for this is located here


Help me buy a bullseye..


As many of you know 357 Customs did not follow through with their promises to fulfill orders that included a free Epiphone Zakk Wylde guitar. I was one of many who was suckered in. I'm a college student living paycheck to paycheck living on his own, when I ordered the package deal it was a big risk, but being as it was from the "Official Zakk Wylde Mailing list" by Chad Dyer using his address. (which if you click Here, you will see) I thought that this was the real deal. But I couldn't pass a deal up like this.

So, I ended up spending $164.94 on the deal, and didnt recieve the guitar that we were told time and time again, lie after lie, that we would be getting. Now I have family and friends hounding me saying to me "when are you getting your guitar?", "You got ripped off", "You're a dumbass!". So I have come up with a way I can get the guitar, or at least get my money back.

I am selling all of my Zakk Wylde memorabilia. For the past 5 years I have wasted my money on Zakk stuff, which is just sitting in my closet in a box collecting dust. Almost of the autographs were obtained in person at Ozzfest, and at a BLS show in Clinton, Iowa on 9-10-02. The rest was won, bought off ebay or from the street team. I have already sold the diecast I recieved on ebay. Below you will find the items I have for sale, I would like to get rid of all this stuff, and if no one buys it then its going on ebay. If you would like to see my ebay account it is erock85, I have 77 ratings with 100% positive.

I may not be able to get the full amount, but I am willing to try. Please E-mail me with serious offers: erock85@hotmail.com




Signed drumhead by Zakk Wylde, Nick Cantonese, Craig Nunenmacher, and Robert Trujillo.
I had Zakk, Nick, and Craig sign it after ozzfest, I managed to find this tama drumhead by the second stage in Somerset, Wisc. Then when BLS came to Clinton, Iowa I managed to meet up with Robert (whos now in Metallica) to finalize it. Zakk signed it 8x15x02 sdmf ozzy bls, but that wasnt even the right date if I remember correctly, he was pretty drunk though. Craig signed his what looks like LLMF, and nick bls 2002, and robert wrote bls under his name.




Heres the original Sonic Brew cd autographed by just Zakk when I met him at Clinton, Iowa 9-10-02, he actually signed it 9x11 which is kinda cool because it was midnight. I managed to find this cd at some used shop too...




Signed 1919 Eternal cd by Zakk, Craig and Nick only brought this along to ozzfest. Just them, no bassist.




This is a Signed Stronger than Death cd, just Zakk. It was in a silver pen, I actually bought this from an FYE booth at the Merry Mayhem tour (Ozzy/Rob Zombie) at Moline, Illinois. I think it costed like $20. Signed 11.3.01



This is really rare! You can't find these anymore, I bought a bls hat and shirt off of zw.com a long time ago back in 2001, along with my merch came this letter from the "mother chapter" saying you are now a proud owner of black label society merchandise and what not. I can try and get better pics if needed. Zakk then signed it at the bottom 01. I was gonna get it framed, but will never get around, so my loss your gain.



Heres a 8x10 glossy Promo pic from 1919 era. Back at blacklabelsociety.net a guy from Spitefire Records posted a message saying the next 10 or so people to email me will get a free signed 8x10 promo pic. I was one of the lucky ones!




A drumstick I found after the clinton show on the ground, apparently though it wasn't one that Craig used he said. Its a vic virth, but he signed it anyway, he wrote Craig (then an N or something) and BLS. Interesting piece it might have been a Brand New Sin drumstick not sure because they opened right before BLS..




Another promo pic with the Rebel guitar, must be Stronger than death era, not signed or anything, obtained off ebay a long time ago.




From 2001 an original bls hat, that has Black Label Society on the back, you cant find this anymore bought it from zakkwylde.com. Its in used condition but if someone wants to buy it thatd be cool i dont wear it any longer. I also have one that says 1919 Eternal on the back that I bought at the club tour in 2002.




In this picture is the #1 longsleeve size medium, and Doom Crew Inc, thats a olive green, havent seen them on ebay in a long time even. Got one from a show the other off ebay. I also have not pictured: Real men wear black and white thats shortsleeve medium, and Stronger Than Death album cover with the bylaws on the back short sleeve, these are all in mint condition. Plus I have 2 old ozzy shirts one has Zakk on the front with the bullseye and on the back a big Z with 100% something i havent dug it out yet, and a no rest for the wicked tour shirt, on the front zakks playing some kind of sunburst les paul really old 80s style looking, size small and very used. Also I have a BLS.NET shirt that was sold for a short time says SDMF on the back and bls.net. If anyone is interested in those email me and I can take pics.




Guitar picks in the picture 3 of them, ones an evil twin, one robert trujilo, and on bls/zakk sig. the CD behind them is the Like a bird promo cd that has 2 versions and electric and acoustic.


promos




Different promo stuff. In the picture are the circle stickers which are really hard to find I dont have that many of those. I have 1919 Eternal promo stickers/posters/cds, Hangover stickers and posters, The blessed hellride stickers/posters/cds. 1 keychain bottle opener picture. Other posters, Stronger than death poster that has dogs with zakk, and GHS string ad poster you see in music shops, I think thats all. The other promo posters from 1919, Hangover, and TBH are not listed but I have a few left over, and can take pictures upon requests.

Also I have the guitar world issue with zakk and dime in camo with the poster still intact, the magazine is mint nothing was torn out in storage. If anyone is interested. If I think or find anymore things I will post them.

To make offers or request more pictures please email at: erock85@hotmail.com and just a little reference heres a picture of me and zakk from 4 yrs ago at ozzfest, that I blew up and got signed at the iowa show:




also I have 2 guitars for sale, a black ltd m-100 and an XS les paul copy seen here
