Here he is ripping on some Randy!! Very Zakk like in playing and tone!!

Thats does sound like a 20 year old Zakk, before a decade of being a drunken fool

Holy Shit.....If I closed my eyes and just listened,
I'd swear I was hearing Zakk, early in his career.

Richie NAILS a Perfect Schenker solo here,
I swear he was Channeling Schenker in this vid.

I so wish he would channel Schenker a whole lot more than Zakk when he is doing Priest. He seems like a good dude and a hell of a player but I don't care for his style with Priest. Plus K.K. and Tipton had such an amazing balance with their styles. Tipton more fluid and speedy phrasing and K.K., more bombastic and chaotic. Plus when I was watching a vid of them live I didn't care for how much he mimicked Zakk's arm movements as well as his style. I do wish a bright future for the guy though, especially as he hopefully finds more of himself in there as supposed to hero worship playing.
