I play a little and am no means a professional. The problem with the old stuff, like zepplin, black Sabbath etc, it just sounds old. Eddie's stuff will always sound like it was made yesterday. Many people brag on the older people like Jimmie Hendricks, which by the way, if you ever get totally stoned out of your mind, weather you play guitar or not, pick up any guitar and start just banging strings and it will sound just like Hendricks. I've done it and even fooled people. My love for music goes a long way past who is the best player but rather who writes the most unforgettable songs. Randy's stuff just sounds old and I don't think he had a chance to really blossom, great player, but his playing is forgettable. Eddie or George take the cake any day
