I've been to one single Ozzy show with him there, and I can tell you that while the reaction during his solos was headbanging and general cheering on--I didn't see people standing there with their mouths agape in awe, just listening.

Whereas with Yngwie--that's pretty much the entire crowd.

I never have said that Zakk Wylde isn't a great player, or that I don't respect his ability. He just isn't a virtuoso--a ton of great players aren't. It's okay.

Maybe I've been brainwashed by Berklee. Even Satch and Vai being mentioned as virtuoso players around here draws a crooked look or two. But while I think those two are debateable as to whether or not they are virtuosos ((More Vai than Satch)), Wylde is a clearer case.
