Favorite guitar solos?

[Blinded By Blood]

My all time favorite is probably in For the Love of God by Ulver, but other amazing ones are:
Genocide-Judas Priest
Slayer-Evil Has No Boundaries
Kreator-Total Death

 

[Dän]

Yeh evil has not boundaries is pretty sick solo, most stuff on reign in blood is really good. Also, a lot of solos from early Mercyful Fate songs, like nuns have no fun, melissa and such are really cool. I have always liked the 'one' solo by metallica and fight fire with fire.

Inpropagation - carcass
The principal of evil made flesh - CoF (i like it, so what)
Kreator - impossible brutality
are just a few i can think of from the top of my head

My favorites are:

Carcass-Buried Dreams
Crazy Train
Slayer-Tormentor
Hypocrisy-Arrival of the Demons Pt. 2
Nile-Von Unaussprechlichen Kulten

 

[Lyle]

there's a sweet one in the t. rex somg "buick mckane" that's about 3 seconds long, which is the optimal length for a guitar solo

 

[Zephyrus]

Arch Enemy - Burning Angel
Behemoth - Conquer All
Carcass - Buried Dreams
System of a Down - Streamline
Led Zeppelin - Stairway to Heaven
At The Gates - Cold
Vader - This is the War
Metallica - Ride the Lightning
Judas Priest - Painkiller

 

[Death Animal]

Accept- metal heart

 

[Impudent]

Behemoth - Christians to the Lions

Short and sweet.

 

[Ender Rises]

i like stratospere by stratovarius

 

[Babykabob]

too many good solos out there...but right now I'm thinkin Evergrey - Trilogy of the damned...it's pretty basic but extremely effective. you really feel the notes...

 

[Guthrum]

A lot of old 70's Classic Rock stuff does it for me, but other than that.

Arghoslent - Heirs to Pedition
Arghoslent - Of Spears and Horns
Arghoslent - The Negress
Slough Feg - Sky Chariots
Behemoth - Conquer All
In Flames - December Flower
Blood Red Throne - Bleeders Lament
Infernal War - Crushing Impure Idolatry
Intestine Baalism - The Planet

 

[SacredReich]

Necrophagist - Advanced Corpse Tumour....starts at about 2:20 and goes for over minute. Good solo, but awesome execution.

 

[Erik]

Angel Witch "Free Man"
Iron Maiden "Strange World"

 

[Nico]

Arghoslent - Incorrigible Bigotry (the song)

 

[Krakatau]

Yngwie J. Malmsteen- Black Star, Far Beyond the Sun, Evil Eye, Icarus' Dream Suite Op. 4, Little Savage, Disciples of Hell, Trilogy Suite Op. 5, Heaven Tonight, Krakatau, Blitzkrieg, etc.
Marty Friedman - Lucretia
Jason Becker - Mable's Fatal Fable
Tony MacAlpine - Christmas Island
Michael Romeo - Accolade II
Al Di Meola - The Romantic Warrior, Fantasia Suite
Steve Vai - For the Love of God, Crying Machine
Joe Satriani - Friends

 

[Teh Grimace]

becker - seranna

 

[Alex78]

Opeth - The Leper Affinity (the first one)...really my favourite one

 

[Base Delta Zero]

Megadeth - the intro to 'Good Mourning/Black Friday'. It builds up very well.

Metallica - 'Shortest Straw' and 'One' ...or whichever one I happen to be learning at the moment, which is 'Eye of the Beholder'.

Slayer - all of the solos from 'Altar of Sacrifice/Jesus Saves'. I like the way Hanneman and King play off each other in these songs. It reminds me of watching Tom and Jerry in the way that King and Hanneman seem to chase each other with their solos sometimes.

RR United - 'In the Fire' (the best song on that whole CD, in my opinion!). I was actually surprised by that solo - the boys from Trivium did a decent job with the solo. It might not be on anyone elses list, but I liked it.

...that's all off the top of my head. If I really put some thought into it, there would be some Randy Rhoads, Hendrix, Van Halen, Azagthoth, James Murphy, etc. etc. What an awesome thread...

 

[stefan86]

Dream Theater - Under A Glass Moon

 

[Killbot]

Obituary - Bodybag. It may be short, but damn does it sound good.

 

[zengaja]

Pantera - Floods. absolutely amazing. got some solo of the year awards back then(though this should mean nothing)

Luciferion - New World to See. starting at about 3.15 the interupted to be continued at 4:50. really gives me the creeps every time i listen to it
