What about "In This River"? It was a nice, reflective little piano ballad - until Zakk came in with his ridiculously overdriven lead guitar and ruined it with some re-hashed, heavy metal-style pentatonic shredding. Dave Mustaine's focus is indeed fairly narrow, but Zakk's isn't all that much wider; and, IMHO, Dave plays better music within that focus, for want of a better phrase (it's five'o'clock AM over here! :o ). I prefer Dave's solos to Zakk's - and, hell, if Zakk could play rhythm guitar half as well as Dave, the Black Label Society would be a much better band!
