What is the best guitar solo you have ever heard?

[Profanity]

Fuck guitarsolos, go repetitive drums at 600bpm!

Are you saying we should listen to Rave music?

 

[PanzerKunt]

No try Impaled Nazarene.

 

[Profanity]

So they obviously have more than 600bpm drums.

 

[Justinschut]

Steve Vai´s solo after (I think) his second song on the first G3 DVD rulez

 

[barrett_]

you mean For the Love of God?
oh yeah, and Nitro's "Freight Train" solo fucking owns

 

[Justinschut]

no, For The Love Of God is a song.... I mean a seperate solo between songs

 

[Taliesin]

They're not really solos, more like lead parts, but the guitar work on "Dechristianize" by Vital Remains is absolutely outstanding

 

[The Soulforged]

the solos in the wickerman by iron maiden. they're pretty basic and simple but they sound so damn cool.

I think you're getting confused with Children Of The Damned.

 

[Wings of a dream]

ahhhhhh so many solos!

Well I'll name the most beautiful solo ever written...

Dream Theater - The Spirit Carries on

 

[BodomIsYourGod]

I change mine to Cacophony-Speed Metal Symphony.

for thouse who havent heard it you should deffinatly check it out

 

[Naragul]

The solo in Battle Hymns by Manowar make me want to whip out my love length and jerk it right there and then.
Failing that, Speed Kills will definatly do it for me.

 

[TowardsDeadEnd]

Steve Vai - For the Love of God

 

[TheTechnogoat]

Pantera- a new level
the dimebag darrell buzz saw tone is just orgasmic on it. its what convinced me to get the MXR Dime Distortion pedal

 

[Noble Viking]

I change mine to Cacophony-Speed Metal Symphony.

for thouse who havent heard it you should deffinatly check it out

Both their cds kick major ass! I can't particuarly remember the solo on SMS because the whole cd is practically solos and sweep arpeggios!

 

[Raistlin1980]

I have to agree with Gavin: Pink Floyd - Comfortably numb, specially in a live version in which it's longer than usual. Really touching.

Other solos i love:
Testament - Return to serenity
Ozzy - Goodbye to romance
Megadeth - She-wolf
Deep Purple - Highway star
Pantera - The sleep
Metallica - Fade to black, one

 

[PanzerKunt]

Hell yeah, Rush of Deliverance kicks a fuckload of ass too!

 

[miocene]

Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb.. Especially the PULSE version... could almost make me cry, its incredible
