Yeah, he's definitely right up there. Once people start talking about the best guitarist ever - if such a thing is quantifable - he gets overlooked a lot. It's only the metalheads that ever think he might have been the best. Downing and Tipton get overlooked too, but that's kind of harder to judge because it's not just one guy, and there's no evidence that one is awesome without the other.
Anyway, the guy is a genius. Whether riff, lick, solo or sound effect, he plays interestingly on every track of every album.
