Zakk has all of Randy's guitars. He's close with the family. He worships Randy.
No kidding, check out those huge photos of RR behind him while playing! I thought I was going to see Zakk actually play the Roswell. I can't recall seeing anyone ever play a Roswell. I think people just collect and trade them, but never play em!
"Your work is ingenius…it’s quality work….and there are simply too many notes…that’s all, just cut a few, and it’ll be perfect."
IMO, Zakk is a great guitar player. I'm glad that he flies the flag for Randy, but I hate his interpretations of Randy's work, and I cringe even more when people think that he does that stuff justice. I'm not saying it's gotta be note for note, but there's a feel that's missing.
That said, he'd probably agree with me, so I give him points for his humility!
I like how Zakk transitioned from a Randy look-a-like to a muscled up bad ass biker.
His playing can be great, identifiable style and he can make himself useful on a vocal now and then. Better than hearing Yngwie play and sing I'm sure.
I personally think that you won't get true shit from Zakk. he's just soloing over the same things(can't blame him, every guitar player is like that ,but he is allways giving a lot of attention to this particular point of songs/concerts.Nowadays the only guys who get amazed are the ones who don't play guitar,while the guitar players are something like "nuh we've seen that shit move on with the song").Also he lacks at the point of songwritting, and don't tell me about the ones he did with ozzy cause to my ears 60% of them are garbage(not to mention bls)...Though I would like to meet him, jam with him and talk with him,cause he must be a great guy BTW here's a video of Friedman playing a roswell rhoads http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qk0gsC75kJc
