Zakk Wylde has much more feeling put into his music.

It's all personal preference on which is more important, feeling or technicality. They are both 2 of the greatest players for different reasons.

Kind of like comparing Yngwie Malmsteen to David Gilmour. Well, that is a drastic comparison, but it's feeling vs. technicality.

I have to agree about Zakks solo on In This River. That solo just doesn't fit the song at all...

I fast forward that song through the solo... or just change the song when it gets to the solo... I can't stand how it comes out of nowhere... and just as fast as it came it just cuts off... It was like an unfinished project that he recorded a one take jam solo and just forgot to go back and revise it.
