Randy or Eddie?

   oh you b*****d!   Such a hard choice..  I mean Eddie was the man and almost single-handedly brought modern rock guitar to a whole new level, and no one touched him in the rock arena for innovation, tone, and great riffs

...on the other hand the same could be said of Randy, a master guitarist (more than Eddie) and the player that took metal beyond the Sabbath/Zeppelin/Maiden mold with his fusion of true classical and hard rock years before Yngwie, brilliant solos, and his staccato up/down strumming, and the player got me into doing music 

I really can't choose, usually I say Randy but Eddie deserves as much credit and did a bit more to advance the electric guitar

yeah, I dunno, sorry

	RIP Randy, you died way before your time. My vote is for Eddie.
