Randy and Billy are pretty unique players (especially Billy).

However, any fan of Billy's I'm sure would dig some of the stuff John Alderete did with Racer X. Look into them!

For rock playing with massive head-room Dave LaRue, Muzz Skillings and Doug Wimbish come to mind.

Are you sure? Stylistically he's quite different to both Randy and Billy. He is, however, a fantastic musician who everyone should listen to.

Billy cites Tim Bogert from Vanilla Fudge as an influence. Look up their stuff, it is pretty amazing. I love Carmen's drumming as well
