Nothing is wrong with his licks--just from a pure chops standpoint, there are plenty of guys who can shred him under the table. Nothing wrong with that if you're Jeff Beck, guitar genius.
And not knowing much theory I think hinders him in the rhythm guitar department more than the lead guitar. If he does have any real weakness it's rhythm playing. Again, like anyone cares.
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.
