Dave may have gotten better after he had time to learn a thing or two from Marty Friedman, but Wylde absolutely destroys him in technical abilities.

No confusion, but I'm talking about rhythm, not lead. I haven't found a BLS song I can't play yet (granted I haven't tried them all), but Dave's rhythms in such songs as Rust In Peace...Polaris, Hanger 18, are pretty tough to get the hang of.
