Favorite Michael Romeo solo (Please choose 1 if possible)

[Airgeetar_freak]

All of us should agree that Michael Romeo is probably of the best relatively unknown guitarists out there. So here's the question:

Which of Michael Romeo's guitar solos (please choose one) are your favorite?

I find them all to be excellent, but Into the Dragon's Den is my favorite because of the high levels of coolness!

 

[Yngvai X]

hmm...I'm gonna say the first solo in Divine Wings of Tragedy.

 

[RequiemX]

Either Dawn of a Million Souls or Candlelight Fantasia would be my favs.

 

[Mr. Shred-ididle]

the really odd solo in the oddyssey at around 14 mins.

 

[FLechdrop]

Dawn Of A Million Souls

 

[Marre79]

In The Dragon's Den here too excelent!

 

[Pharaoh]

Solo in "Witching Hour"

 

[karelrulez]

I'm also going with Dawn of a million Souls. it's genius.

 

[Demonspell]

Second solo in Communion and the Oracle, especially after seeing Romeo pull it off live flawlessly two days ago...

 

[Rediscovery (Part II)]

In The Dragons Den for me

 

[Platinum Maze]

Second solo in Communion and the Oracle, especially after seeing Romeo pull it off live flawlessly two days ago...

Yeah, he nailed it!

I'm gonna say Church of the Machine. I also really love the solos in both Accolades, The Odyssey, & Communion.

 

[Ultimate_Symphony]

mmmmm, maybe Sea Of Lies.

 

[aiwass]

Communion and the Oracle (both of them) for tastefulness and smooth tone, Sea of Lies for bitchin wah use and great variety of different techniques, and Of Sins and Shadows for pure "metal-ness"!

I would say the best from him is the solo in "Of Sins and Shadows". That solo just rips everyone a new asshole! Absolutely incedible! And the exchanges with Pinella are awesome!

I also think the solo in "Candlelight Fantasia" is awesome! (Second favorite)

The lead in "Savage Curtain" always stood out to me as well. (3rd favorite)

Lastly, the lead from "In the Dragon's Den" is awesome just because it's MJR showing off his skills without seeming like he's showing off, know what I mean? (4th favorite)

 

[The Stormbringer]

Accolade II

 

[theodyssey]

I'm gonna go with either dawn of a million souls or through the looking glass live... both are awesome.

 

[scanner313]

Does anyone know a link where I can hear the solo to Dawn of a Million Souls? I want to hear it as about half of everyone replying to this thread said it's the best he's done.

 

[ProgMetalFan]

Second solo in Communion and the Oracle, ...

Agreed.

 

[joeshabadoo]

might seem weird to some, but my favorite is in Eyes of Medussa. It's mucho interesting. Remids me of JP's first solo in erotomania (not the crazy one toward the end)

Remids me of JP's first solo in erotomania (not the crazy one toward the end)

If you really want to hear a JP-sounding solo by Romeo, check out "Whispers" from The Damnation Game.

Anyway, my favorites are Of Sins and Shadows, In The Dragon's Den, and the cool one about 16:00 in TDWOT.
