Zakk has taken time out from Mayhem Tour to give you kids some advice! Check out his Advice Column on The Gauntlet! Here's one of his pieces of wisdom!

Anonymous: I'm in a band that is about to do our first tour but I have a girlfriend. What kind of advice can you give me to help me stay faithful while I'm out on the road? I'm sure the temptation is tough out there.

Zakk: I've always lived by the rule of don't ask, don't tell when it comes to staying faithful on the road. If you really love her, then I'm sure you will have no problem staying faithful to her. I personally have girlfriends in every city, that's the way to do it bro.
