favorite guitar solos?

I fucking hate guitar solos and I play guitar. They are just so fucking pretentious. Occasionally they work, but only if they more like a melody line, like euronymous's solo in freezing moon.

Are you sure you're listening to the right kind've music?

Soloing is the guitarists ultimate form of expression.
 
That speed lives solo, i have the video, is that some fake sped up shit. I think it is, my friends thinks not. If you have seen it then you should know what i'm talking about, looks like his arm is sped up and the rest of him isn't
 
about soli that blow me away are mostly from bass players like Cliff Burton's Solo on the first metallica album or Joy DeMajo's Cover of the Humbleflight. Jimi Hendrix's Amercian National Hymn on Woodstook is amazing but it's not metal... The solo of BLACK SABBATH's Iron Man is quite intresting.
 
Yngwie Malmsteen is so overrated. As for guitar solos, I like:

Death - The Philosopher
Dream Theater - Home
Megadeth - Tornado of Souls
Joe Satriani - Crushing Day
Windham Hell - Alpinia
Steve Vai - Tender Surrender
