Megadeth - Hangar 18
Iron Maiden - Brave New World

Opeth - Advent
Death Angel - Bored
Shadowsfall - That one song...





Now you have to adore Arch Enemy - Ravenous

 

[TheGraveDigger]

My favorite guitar solo is in "Edge Of Thorns" by Savatage. Simply incredible. R.I.P. Criss Oliva.

 

[bloodfiredeath]

I have a love/hate relationship with solos. If they are done right, they can be an awesome addition to a song. Too often, though, it's just a bunch of fucking wanking going on that doesn't fit the song. I'm no musician, so technical ability doesn't mean shit to me. I can pretty much break it down to the rudimentary question: Does it sound sweet?

That said, my vote is for any solo on Obituary's Cause Of Death.

 

[anvil(old)]

ManOwaR - Battle Hymns

 

[The Eviscerator]

Holy shit, the solos from "Back on the Streets" are totally killer.

 

[Draxx]

Yeah I hate it when you get a mildly cool sounding solo that just doesn't fit. Dream Theater is excellent at not doing this. They'll have 3 second solos or a few minute long solos, all fitting. Pick up Images and Words.

 

[TheGraveDigger]

Although not a great song or album "Dry County" by Bon Jovi, Sambora cuts a sick solo for a band like Bon Jovi. Definetly worth looking into.

 

[sixxswine]

Man, there's so many great tracks. Here's just a few that come to mind-
MSG-Gimme Your Love
Scorpions-The Zoo
UFO-Lights Out/Doctor Doctor
Dokken-Paris is Burning
Judas Priest-Living After Midnight
Whitesnake-Crying' in the Rain
Metallica-Whiskey in the Jar & Turn the Page
*I know they aren't Metallica originals, but the guitar work
on a "rock level" is out of this fucking world.
Kenny Wayne Shepherd-Voodoo Child & also While We Cry(this is an original blues tune, if you haven't heard this guy, check him out! this track was recorded when he was 17 years old! Both of these tracks are instrumentals)
George Lynch-Any track off his solo record-Sacred Groove
Joe Satriani-"Friends" & "Summer Song"-both off The Extremist
Ratt-Way Cool Jr.(very catchy blues influenced riffage!)
There's sooooooooo many more, but this is just some of the straight ahead rock tracks that came to mind....
there's some great stuff on the lists I've seen.
Before I forget....
Let me throw in Motley Crue-"Teaser" great cover, tastey guitar playin' goin' on here! KISS-Unholy(Bruce plays like a man possessed on this track!)

The thing that gets me with alot of Warren's solos, is the sexy, raunchy sound he can somehow get! He really makes his guitar sing in a very sexy sounding way, and Way Cool Junior is a perfect example! Especially the lead guitar in the outro near the end.

 

[Loco Bahamut]

Megadeth/Tornado Of Souls
Iron Maiden/Caught Somewhere In Time
Testament/Over The Wall
Sepultura/Desperate Cry
Slayer/Die By The Sword
Pantera/Floods
Dream Theater/Home
Winds/Passion's Quest
Fates Warning/Guardian
Spiral Architect/Cloud Constructor

This is great example of guitar shredding on the "heavier" side.
Great List!
