Dave has gotten much better as a result of playing with Marty. His solos on The System Has Failed are dazzling - easily as good as, if not better than, some of Zakk's best work. And I will re-state - when we're talking rhythm guitar, there's no comparison. Dave is close to the top of the heap in that field; Zakk wouldn't make my top two hundred.
