Here's another example of the classic "does a fast fingered soloist equal to a great guitarist" debate? The guy's good at throwing leads, but whatelse is it that's so special about him?

Wilco, You prefer Jake over Wylde and especially Rhoads?
I mean, I thought Jake E Lee is a monster of a guitarist, the fact he took Randy Rhoads' place like a king is the evidence of that... But still... I thought Rhoads was the perfect guitarist for Ozzy.

Randy was perfect, Wolf7. I think Jake E.Lee was decent, but more of a typical 80s guitarist. Zakk was a great and loyal player, but like Ozzy himself said, his music began to sound like Black Label Society's in recent years. Gus G is pretty good, he suits Ozzy, but... he's little more than a Zakk Wylde protoge.
