fave solo thread :)

[Malis]

Yes well.
I thought i'd ask for your top 5 solos by any band. I'm sure its been done many many times and this is spam. But hey

1)Fear of the Dark - Iron Maiden (the solo that got me into metal)
2)December Flower - In Flames (raaaaaaaaah )
3)Fade to Black - Metallica (perfect ending to an amazing song)
4)Wonders at your feet - Dark Tranquillity (just compliments the song so amazingly well)
5)Everlost pt2 - In Flames (ahhh so beautiful makes me want to weep every time i hear it. short but fucking sweet)

now you

 

[rahvin]

it'd be really interesting, if i was able to tell a solo apart from:
a. any other guitar riff
b. any other bass riff
c. a bike
d. a bubu


rahvin.

 

[seventi]

Here are mine:

Dark Tranquillity - The wonders at your feet
Dark Tranquillity - Hours passed in exile
Dark Tranquillity - Single part of two (it's so damn ugly that solo, it makes it good
Children of Bodom - Taste of my scythe
In Flames - December Flower

 

[Dark_Jester]

Sorry guys, but Dark Tranquillity is not my number one as far as riffs go
1. Enslavement of Beauty - Malignant Midwinter Murders
2. Demons and Wizards - Fiddler on the Green
3. Dark Tranquillity - The Emptiness from which I Fed
4. Blind Guardian - Soulforged
5. Blind Guardian - And then there was silence (all four of em )

 

[hyena]

well, i'd pick the shadow duet solo anytime, but i'm not sure it tops my absolute list. gotta think about that one.

of chaos and eternal night,in the middle of it...
the ending solo of anathema-sleepless pretty beautiful too...

but the best of the best:MASTER OF PUPPETS,the solo

 

[U[Sic]M]

Yeah, I think I´d say that solo by Yngwie Malmsteen. You know, that one where he goes like "pleedy-pleedy-pleedy-pleedy-mee-mee-meeeee-meedily-ploong-dwiiiieeeeEEEEE..." ´cuz he sooo rarely ever does that.

 

[Silentjohan]

Here are some wonderful solos:
Led Zeppelin - Stairway to heaven (probably the best)
Pink Floyd - High Hopes (the lap-steel solo is so perfect to the mood)
Deep Purple - Highway star(Ritchie with his classical sense for solos)

And there are so much more but these were the first that popped into my head.

On a side note: I'm gonna see DT live on Wednesday

In Flames - December Flower, Zombie Inc.

Well, nothing wrong with some friendly competition, eyh mate?

 

[Dark_Jester]

Friendly my ass! I'm gonna sew your fields with salt, and you're gonna LIKE it

 

[U[Sic]M]

Well, as long as I win, I don´t think that´s gonna be a problem.

 

[Miolo]

any Steve Vai or John Petrucci solo.
as for dark tranquillity songs, i'd have to think about it and i'm too lazy to do it, so i say "Hedon".

[Siren]

Wonders at your feet.
It's the only solo i can tell apart, and that only after i saw the vid.

 

[Wanderingblade]

The Tongues solo. or the Edenspring one.

 

[Malaclypse]

as i think you are talking about guitar solos, nearly every metallica solo does for me (ok i am a drummer,so what do you expect).

 

[jester00]

opeth-serenity painted death \m/

or

iron maiden - heaven can wait

 

[Dark_Jester]

Thinking about it, I can't believe I forgot to mention the solo in the Metallica version of Whiskey in the Jar...very first solo I ever learnt to play, so it deserves a mention
