I actually predicted what you were going to say already. And you're right, they are two different types of concerts. If you both wish to believe Zakk Wylde is a virtuoso, that's your choice. I have just explained why I, and several others, do not feel that way.
To summarize:
Maximum speed a little under the norm for virtuosos.
Cannot sustain that speed.
Has a limited musical vocabulary at that speed.
Intonation not among the best.
Has not mastered several techniques that the virtuosos have.
Back In Black isn't a song. It's a divine call that gets channeled through five righteous dudes every thousand years or so. That's why dragons and sea monsters don't exist anymore.
