Randy was untouchable, man.

The first time I heard the solo for Mr. Crowley, I almost sold my guitar and called it quits, it was that good. His talent is only overshadowed by his potential, which was snuffed out way too early.

Zakk is an amazing player as well, but he really hasn't recorded much that has stayed with me and influenced my playing. Ok, maybe I was doing those wild pinched harmonics he whores in every song, but that's about it.

Zakk's solo during the Ozzy show I saw last year was awe inspiring, though. My jaw hit the Corel Centre floor and stayed there for a good 5 minutes. It was probably the loudest thing I've ever heard...heh heh.

i knew i could count on you... randy > zak (although he is good)

mr. crowley is fucking awesome, randy's solo is amazing
