Apart from Mr Crowley and Crazy Train, the only one that comes to mind is the brilliant solo in Scarred by Dream Theater.

I must agree, the solo in Cliffhanger is great.

 

[Bucko]

Troops ,Mr Crowley and Crazy Train were the only 2 which I could think of straight away the other was funnly enough Eruption. No accounting for great taste.

 

[Spruce Goose]

Deep Purple (ritchie Blackmore) - Highway Star
Rainbow (Blackmore) - Gates of Babylon/Stargazer
Steve Morse's solo from the 99' Deep Purple Melbourne show (on Total Abandon).... all 10 minutes of it!! This is some awesome shit!!!!!
Deep Purple (Steve Morse) - Sometimes I feel like Screaming
Dream Theater (John Petrucci) - Voices/Scarred/Beyond this life/The Spirit carries On/Under a Glass Moon (awesome solo)
John Petrucci - fading fast (from Explorers Club)
Pink Floyd (David Gilmour) - Comfortably Numb
Eagles - Hotel California
Black Sabbath (Iommi) - Dirty Women
Satch - Surfing with the Alien
Vai - I would love too

This is fun. I could come up with more, but need to think.

Bucko, those 3 have to be the greatest ever...

Eddie and Randy are my fave guitarists

 

[Bucko]

Ohh ahh Dirty Woman again nice choice Spruce Goose. GEE.

 

[Arcane]

My vote goes for Adrian's solo on Stranger in a Strange Land.

 

[Stevo]

Nah. You've all missed the point.

Dave Gilmour's solo at the end of Pink Floyd's Comfortably Numb. Geez he makes his guitar sing.

 

[Spruce Goose]

hey man, I said Comfortably Numb.. the solo on the live PULSE album is better than the original too!!

Actually, I'll pay that - I'm not a Floyd fan at all but that one was pretty tasty!

Damn near any of Gary Moore's solos, especially his blues solos bring tears to my eyes like every time! Godlike! *bows*

That you did!

D'OH!

 

[Wrathchild]

Two words: "Dark Light."

Ol' Spaceman Frehley may not be the most technical guitar player in the world, but this one has made my jaw drop consistently for the last 20 years.

Other honourable mentions are Brian May's guest spot on "Headless Cross", Van Halen's "Eruption" and of course "Caught Somewhere In Time."
