Favorite Solos

[The Sound Gardener]

i.e., the ones that made you cream your pants the first time you heard it.

For me, it's "Fireworks" by Angra , and the one in "The Spirit Carries On" by Dream Theater is damn good also.

 

[The Evil Toucan]

Under a Glass Moon - Dream Theater
Sea of Lies - Symphony X
Tender Surrender - Steve Vai

 

[Windom Pearl]

December Flower - In Flames

 

[Pancakes]

Most anything from either Angra or Yngwie Malmsteen.

 

[scorpian007]

Any of Opeths solo's, Steve Vai, Joe Satriani and some others

 

[Staffan]

Deliverance 6:58!

and many more

 

[Gnuckell]

Children of bodom - Follow the reaper

In fact i'm working on it right now...

 

[Ermz]

The Haunted - Leech
Morbid Angel - Eyes to See, Ears to Hear
alot of Opeth and In Flames too...

 

[Cynical Bastard]

TORNADO OF SOULS - Megadeth (speed metal bliss)

My Last Words - Megadeth (see above)

Lucretia - Megadeth (great contrast between Marty and Dave)

Captive Honour - Megadeth (great contrast between Marty and Dave once again, and also Marty plays a killer little bluesy lick!)

Ashes In Your Mouth (same as above, plus that one solo they both play in the middle is awesome, esp live!)

Hangar 18 (great leads throughout)

She-Wolf (extended live version)

ehh and about 10 other songs by them...

Burning Angel - Arch Enemy (just love the feel of this one)

Morning Sun - Savatage (see above)

Sweet Child O' Mine - Guns N' Roses (see above)

Fragile - Sentenced (very emotional, fits the song perfectly)

Them Bones - Alice In Chains (see above)

There's a ton more, but those are some of my favorites.

metallica- ride the lightning

kalmah- the blind leader

 

[[0hr]Sunlapse]

all I have to say is....

IN FLAMES- "Coerced Coexistence"

Ccome on, listen to that friggin' solo. It rocks. Definately In Flames's best.... oh yeah, any solo off Children of Bodom's "Follow the Reaper" is awesome too, not to mention plenty of Opeth solos. And of course there are many more, but I want to keep this short.

 

[redreflection]

In the Woods - The Divinity of Wisdom (at halfway mark and end)
My Dying Bride - Christliar
- Edenbeast

 

[Dusk]

Technically these might not be the best solo's but they fit in the songs perfect and are not wanky/for the purpose of showing off and that's what i look for in a solo.

Nevermore - seven tounges of god

Slayer - Dead skin mask

Death - lack of comprehension

Alas - Absolute purity

 

[austin6789]

Metallica- Master of Puppets
Joe Satriani- Surfing With the Alien
Pantera-Revolution is my Name

..........and some solo by Shadows Fall, but I can not remember the song.
