AllMusic's Greg Prato described him as "one of alternative rock's first true guitar heroes", with an eclectic playing style that merges heavy metal, psychedelia, and modern rock."He's one of the last great guitarists," says Henry Rollins, former Black Flag singer, who saw him playing with Jane's Addiction.
