Dave is close to the top of the heap in that field; Zakk wouldn't make my top two hundred.

I agree with the statement that Zakk's rhythm is ridiculously inferior. However, even the leads on "The System Has Failed" an album which, for the most part, I actually liked as far as guitar work is concerned, are not nearly as speedy and technical as "No More Tears" or ANY of the BLS stuff. Seriously, to say Mustaine has a better alternate picking approach than Wylde is like saying Joe Satriani has worse legato than George Harrison.
