Ok, maybe I'm wrong about my opinion of Zak Wylde, but it is based on what I have heard and seen. And it is what he does with ozzy, not all the stuff but a great deal. my impression of him is of a typical 80's guitarplayer. I used to be a great fan of this kind of style 4 years ago but I have changed since then, and it is natural for everybody to evolve in his tastes. In fact I still have many of Ozzy's albums but haven't listened them for years.
I DO respect him because of his technique, cuz I know(have an idea) what tremendous amount of effort it requires to acheive that level.
