I know, but I am saying that's why he is not as good as Allman or Clapton, I am not saying that he is bad. Top 50 probably.

I can understand someone saying that about his riffs but certainly not his solos, his solos are always unique.
I always liked his riffs. While the lead singer (DeRosa? I forget) spit angry lyrics acted like 'the brain', Morello was the backing rhythm a lot but really more like soul of the song. The singer always seemed to say what the guitar was trying say.

The solos...eh. I always thought they sounded the same, none were that memorable for me (Bulls is great though).
