the greatest metal solo of all time?

[Jesus Loves Slayer]

Metallica- Master Of Puppets
Slayer- Angel Of Death
Iron Maiden- Run To The Hills
Megadeth- Hanger 18
Ozzy Osbourne- Over The Mountain
Alice In Chains- Man In The Box
Pantera- Mouth For War

 

[UndyingDarkness]

Nile - Cast Down The Heretic

About 3 minutes long and it's pretty amazing.

 

[Skepticism]

My favourite:
Meshuggah-Sublevels
Black Sabbath-Snowblind
Death-Spirit Crusher
Quo Vadis-Silence Calls The Storm
It's just a coincidence the songs all start with the letter "s."

 

[Arrakis]

Metallica - Disposable Heroes
Gorguts - Das Martyrium Des
Death - To Forgive is to Suffer
Emperor - With Strength I Burn (outro) especially the live version
Martyr - Carpe Diem

 

[metal_wrath]

Eric Johnson - Lonely in the night (solo at the end)

3+ minutes of pure heaven



King Crimson - Cadence and Cascade

pure dreamy prognesss

 

[Scarifier]

Bathory- Shores in Flames (one of the most dramatic solos ever)
Burzum- Key to the Gate (this is more like a lead, but it is fucking incredible)
Immolation- Rival the Imminent
Creepmime- Chinese Whispers

The Shores In Flames solo really hits the heart
and that Burzum (lead solo whatever) is fucking great, when i first heard it i had to learn to play it

Atheist - Enthralled In Essence
Cryptopsy - the short ass one in faceless unknown rules
Intestine Baalism - A place Their Gods Left Behind
I'm going to stop there's too many

Bands with honourable mentions for always having good solos are the previous 3, Death and Pestilence.
And i'll also like to say Suffocation - Abomination Reborn solo kicks major ass, reminds me of Andy LaRocque.

 

[Hell Awaits Us All]

death's solos are fucking SWEEEEEEEET

 

[SatanicBunny]

Bodom has many cool solos. But I also think (allthough it is a bit old school) that the solo on Megadeth's Tornado of Souls is still awesome.

 

[Death Animal]

Deep purple-higway star.

 

[MIMA]

Most of COB's solos.. and Arch Enemy -Nemesis.

Old School = good

 

[-Demonium-]

Wintersun comes to mind.

Death and the Healing

 

[All That Remains]

Hmmm.....


Yngwie Malmsteen- Far Beyond the Sun (well the whole song is a solo, but still....)

Trivium- Entrance of the Conflagration

Dragonforce-Through the Fire and Flames

Opeth-Grand Conjuration

Iron Maiden- The Number of the Beast (dunno why, but...........)

Megadeth-Hangar 18

 

[The Heartbreak Kid]

Anything from Gilbert, Petrucci, Satriani, Lynch, Malmsteen etc.

 

[Hell Awaits Us All]

ANYTHING from symphony X - way too many to name

michael romeo is a fucking god

 

[Mort Divine]

Agalloch-not unlike the waves(towards the middle)

I always find myself humming along to that solo. Fuckin' great!

 

[Carcassian]

Nile - Cast Down The Heretic

About 3 minutes long and it's pretty amazing.

Good call that dude.

 

[CF87]

I prefere the solos on Necroticism over heartwork. I find the solos and riffs on necroticism to be less predictable musically and song structure wise where on heartwork just about all the riffs and solos are all placed in the same spots in a very organised pop structure way.

 

[Matt]

Old Man's Child-felonies of the christian art(near the end)

Yeah. The whole album has good solos.

Deep purple-higway star.

Blackmore is a god. He is my favorite soloist of all time.

ANYTHING from symphony X - way too many to name

michael romeo is a fucking god

+1. Romeo is amazing.

 

[CF87]

Yeah. The whole album has good solos.
.

Vermin has some great melodic leads aswell.
