i duno if its better. maybe it has more direction? like, there is an idea of what the music is gonna sound like, and then the band tries to fullfill that idea. where as mick's other stuff, with the exception of cromagnon, is him just playing and then seeing what comes out. not improvising obviously, but not exactly composed. i have no idea what im talking about. mick is really good, incredibly creative, skilled, and disciplined. hes easily in the top 5 for rock guitarists that have came around in the last 10 years or so. regardless of what you think about his music, no can deny his talent. same thing with someone like zach hill, sure 'there is no 666 in outer space' sucked hard hard hard, but no one in thier right mind can say, "zach hill is a bad drummer".
