Lifeson is a very good guitarist.

I've been listening to sabbath all this morning. I think iommi owns page. He can play just as fast, if not faster. He had a great style. He played so many great, classic riffs. He is the king of the heavy riff. He was a pioneer, one of the first to drop his tuning down, which became a big part of heavy metal. You can hear some heavy palm muted riffs in some sabbath songs. Of course the palm muted riffing would become a signature part of heavy metal. I can't think of anyone that was doing that before him. Iommi all the way.
