Lindsey overthinks the big picture, while Rick would overthink the small details of his guitar playing (in a way that I don't believe Lindsey has the ability to overthink).
Lindsey was a visionary, Rick was a team player.
Lindsey is a modernist, Rick is a traditionalist.
Lindsey had something to prove, Rick already had an impressive resumé and didn't need to prove himself.
Lindsey was intense and angry, Rick was laid back and happy.
Lindsey is a brilliant finger stylist, Rick is billiant in every other facet of guitar playing.
I think both are amazing at what they do, and I think the band was lucky to have had both. I'd have either one in my band. Hell, I'd have BOTH in my band!
