He has another 5 orb6 moments of absolute awesomeness on the new album too. Darkest Hour, along with Dave's fine solo, is their best 1-2 punch since the old days.

And that's the best description I've ever heard! But his love not only of the "Blues" but also; Jazz, and UFO'S Michael Schenker, and puts it altogether is his stock in trade!
