it's not the best solo ever, i was just being over the top... i do love the solo however. it's not the most technically crazy solo, but the writing and the way it fits to the rythm are very cool. my favorite solos are not nevermore (except psalm). and yeah, river dragon is a heavy song... and i dig that... not the heaviest song recorded.... damnit, last time i exaggerate, ever.
but don't come at me with yngwei as a sub for best solo. he's fast and started some cool stuff... but he's boring and repetetive.
