Same here. Hearing Randy for the first time was just as much of a mind**** as hearing EVH for the first time.

*shakes head* First off, every rock/metal shred dude that came after EVH and Rhoads borrowed a ton of **** from both of them. Secondly, Bucket uninventive? How much Bucket you ever heard son? His canon is so vast and varied that the amount of times he directly apes Rhoads is minuscule. Check out "Octaves of the Holy Innocents" and get back to me. Not a gram of Rhoads on the entire album.

Having studied and learned stuff from all of them, I consider EVH, Rhoads, and Lynch as the holy trinity of the whole rock/metal shred movement (putting neo-classical aside). Lynch is the hardest of the three to ape because of his unique phrasing, vibrato, whammy work, and his signature lines - which have been described as the sound of putting a cat in a blender - and sound nothing at all like Rhoads or EVH.
On any given day I consider Lynch the best of the three.
