I saw Zakk several years ago when he was touring with Rob Zombie. I've never been his biggest fan, though I'm not a "hater". But I gotta say, his guitar solo (seemed like 20 minutes) was pretty amazing. Not in melodic content or memorable hooks, but I was impressed with his sheer stamina. He was a freakin machine! He's become an over-the-top characiture of himself with the whole drunken biker thing though. It's gotten really silly. I was skimming an article a while back at a magazine rack where he was going-on to the effect of "f#ck yeah, me and Jesus are like best buds" and goofy crap like that. It'd be nice to see him step away from the bottle and the biker antics for a while and just be the fresh-faced, cool, quiet, humble kid who once assumed the role of Randy and Jake 20-some years ago.
