Dave's a great songwriter, and one hell of a guitarist. For B4 I'll take early Metallica (yep, Dave wrote some of those songs) and Reign in Blood -- the title track of which has perhaps the best metal riff ever outside of Sabbath, imo.
Sad when he flopped over to born-again status, but hey, he's a musician, not a guru. Motherfucker is still one of the best rhythm guitarists ever, and a damned good soloist. Put songwriting on top of those talents, and phew!
