Favorite James Murphy solo?

[Triumphant Apostle]

My all time favorite solo by James is the solo in Trail Of Tears on the Testament-Low album. I am curious what other peoples favorites are? This includes you James since I see that you post on here sometimes,what is your favorite solo you've ever played? By the way I hope you get better soon and can't wait to hear new material!

 

[Sadistik]

Me too! What a gorgeous solo! Wow! I also like that solo in Visions, and his acoustic solo on the reworking of Return to Serenity...

 

[istari]

The solo in Trail of tears is great but since you asked for favourites I have to go with Dog faced Gods or Hail Mary.... Wonderfull stuff!

 

[Binky]

I second Hail Mary. Makes me cry.

 

[cravenmetal]

i cant think of a favorite solo....i can however think of a favorite solo song. that would have to be "Touching the Earth" from James' solo cd Convergence....very touching song. True emotion in this one, especially if you have lost someone VERY CLOSE in your life!!!!!

 

[TestamentNut]

james solos in general. i have a few off of disincarnate. i have to listen to that cd again. its ben a while.

 

[vengeance]

"In Sufference" from the Disincarnate CD! I love this solo! Right after the vocals say "Life Spent In Sufference" & then all the sudden this Beautiful Melodic solo kicks in! Its so Melodic & mixed with James trademarks Guitar Noodling! I love that Solo!Also "The Stench Of Paradise Burning" is another goodie! But thats really a hard choice! His solo work on "Spiritual Healing" Kicks So much Ass as well! Also "Convergeance" is quite amazing solo wise! Thats probably his most Mature work as a lead guitar player!


Bring on the New Disincarnate & Control Denied!

[SupersonicRobotic]

wow, this is a tough decision... i pretty much like them all cause the style of soloing/riffing is so signature... but heres my 3 favorites where im just like "That pretty much killed my face."

1) Convergence - since forgotten: the first 10 seconds of this solo is probably my favorite solo intro ever.
2. Obituary - chopped in half: classic
3. Disincarnate - Confine of Shadows: the way this solo kicks in is SO sick with the harmonizing, ive probably listented to this and the first one about 1,000 times, rewinding back to the start of the solo

ive never really listened to a lot of the testament stuff so ill have to check out the solos everyone mentioned.

 

[Sydo]

Mine has got to be Trail Of Tears!
F'king love it!

 

[EskimoShredder]

That's a hard choice. i love all of james's solos but probably one of my favorites is his lead work on odyssey.

 

[Arkronos]

Damn, this is SO hard, how can we choose just one?? OK, if really pushed I can think of a few favourites off the top of my head. I really love the lead trade-offs with Chuck on "Low Life" (Spiritual Healing album), the solos on "Touching the earth" are really beautiful and pretty much all the solos on "Odyssey" are great.

gotta love that solo on Killing Spree
