Great Guitar Solos

[Sabin Frost]

Not sure if this one has been done before but what are a few of your favourite solos of all time by Metal bands.

 

[Son of Evil]

I doubt that it has never been done before in a forum as big as this.

Anyway, one of my favorite solos is in 'Rebellion in Dreamland' by Gamma Ray. Performed by Kai Hansen.

 

[hibernal_dream]

Megadeth's Hangar 18 and anything by Slayer - they're all interchangeable.

 

[Satanstoenail]

Yeah this was done very recently.

Mine is the solo in Serpent Moves by Coroner.

 

[Reaping Clarity]

DragonForce - Through The Fire And Flames
Amon Amarth - Under The Northern Star
Anthrax - Lone Justice
At The Gates - Blinded By Fear
Children Of Bodom - Children Of Decadence
Daylight Dies - A Dream Resigned
Demons & Wizards - Blood On My Hands
Edge Of Sanity - Crimson

Just to name a few

 

[CF87]

Opeth: the funeral portrait 4:28-5:28 and 7:31-8:01
Agalloch: not unlike the waves 4:38-5:17

 

[IWP]

Blind Guardian - Banish From Sanctuary
Overkill - Kill At Command
Iron Maiden - Revelations, Somewhere In Time, Deja Vu, Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son, and Moonchild
Death - Trapped In A Corner

 

[Knulla]

Atheist - Entralled in Essence
Death - Bite the Pain
Necrophagist - Advanced Corpse Tumor
Martyr - pretty much all of them

 

[Perpetual Catatonia]

DragonForce - Through The Fire And Flames

As much flaming as this might get, I'll have to agree. I feel like I should be mentioning Symphony X for this award, but every part of the solo in this song just seems so cool to me.

 

[Fury of the Storm]

Children of Bodom- Follow The Reaper
Iron Maiden- Aces High
Soul Source- Fly
Dragonforce- Revolution Deathsquad
Slayer- Angel of Death
Helloween- I Want Out
Iron Savor- Irion Savior
Hypocrisy- Suffering Souls

 

[Neurotripsicks]

The solo to Diminished To Be by Necrophagist and yeah that DragonForce solo to Revolution Deathsquad kicks ass, idec. Too bad they can't play it live very well

 

[Fury of the Storm]

When I saw them live they didn't play that song so I can't confirm but there is a good video on youtube of them playing it and it is done pretty well.

 

[Sabin Frost]

Agree totally on Hangar 18, was going to mention it myself but I thought I would hear a few replies first. In total it is something like 11 solos but as a whole it is a masterpiece.

One of my favourite solos has always been Lucca Turilli's solo on Unholy Warcry, I am not a big Rhapsody or Power Metal fan but I that solo is genius.

It may not be the greatest guitar solo of all time but the shred guitar on Slipknot's welcome is pretty tricky, I learn't to play that and it is not easy (for me atleast) with 32nd notes all over the fret board.

 

[Day_Before_Dawn]

Mithras - Voices in the Void

Morbid Angel - God Of Forsaken

Death - Empty Words.

Thats all I can think of at this present moment.

 

[Base Delta Zero]

Megadeth - Good Mourning/Black Friday
Megadeth - The Conjuring
Megadeth - Holy Wars
Megadeth - Hangar 18
Megadeth - Five Magics

Hmm...think I'm starting to see a pattern...

 

[Belligerent]

Agalloch-In The Shadow Of Our Pale Companion(right after the sweep,towards the end) ridiculous amount of *chills* every time I hear it
Pantera-Domination
Carcass-Enbodiment
Black Label Society-Bridge To Cross
Megadeth-High Speed Dirt
Steve Vai-For the Love of God
Lamb of God-Redneck
Led Zeppelin-Song Remains The Same
Opeth-Leper Affinity
Arch Enemy-Heart of Darkness
All That Remains-The Weak Willed
Death-Crystal Mountain(fucking love Symbolic)

 

[Sabin Frost]

For all those people that like Dragonforce because they are fast... Slayer - Necrophobic... I would love to see Sam try that solo.
