With all due respect,I don't think Criss and Randy could be compared..Criss is awesome,one of the most well balanced players to ever grace the insturment,and his departure left an immense hole in music,but unfortunately we don't have the volume of Randy's work that we do of Criss...
Ultimately,I would consider it a Master/Desciple/Desciple becomes Master situation...

I agree with that partially. I always looked to Randy as the perfect marriage of rock and classical. Moreso than Yngwie. Yngwie just rehashed Bach, Beethoven, and Paganini. Randy took it and made it his own.
Now with Criss, this was a different story. Criss was the answer to the ages old argument between feel and technique. He was the perfect blend of both.

Agreed completely... He's also one of my major influences!
