Worst Solo of All-time

[dorian gray]

This is way off-topic so I'm sure it'll get deleted
BUT I think I heard the worst solo ever this morning.
My wife and I were in the car and we were listening to the radio and I found a song from Night Ranger called "Sister Christian". I *had* to listen to it for amusement's sake but then I heard the solo. wow. So incredibly bad. I somehow never noticed it before.
Anybody heard this?
I bet at least a couple of you guys are old enough to remember when it came out. Risquit?

i have just download this song, and i think you are right. that is bad..

 

[dorian gray]

^ahaha! have you heard it before? isn't it incredibly bad?

 

[FUBAR]

Thats a classic slice of 80's cheese but the solo is pretty bad

If Dorian's thread is off-topic. I want a beer, but my liver hurts like hell.


Seriously.

Billy Corgan's Zero solo has to be the worst. Murder on the ears.

Yeah, I know. But I use to liked that song.

i cant find one thing wrong with that song to be honest. i think the solo is fairly insane, and has some serious attitude...as does the build up that follows.

i dont know these songs...but there's bad solo's especially in 80ties music for sure

 

[dorian gray]

another really really bad performance was jake lee (or whoever it was) doing "working man" on the rush tribute album of the same name. i know that's an obscure reference but it's extremely bad.

Smells Like Teen Spirit has the worst guitar solo ever. Period.

 

[dorian gray]

i dunno. did you listen to "Sister Christian"? It's incredibly bad.

 

[Arnold Layne]

There is a shania twain song with a solo, it really really really blows (almost as bad as mark knoffler)

Kirk Hammett - any song post-Justice.

 

[deliverance]

i got that sister christian song, d2, and while the song and solo suck..i can say i've heard worse. what you may ask? well i don't know right now, but maybe i'll think of something.

Kirk Hammett - any song post-Justice.

I believe that was Brad Gillis playing that solo. From what I keep hearing from people he's actually very good and invented some type of way to use the tremelo bar that guys like Vai and Jeff Beck use quite often. Anywho, I have a solo album of his called Alligator that I never really bothered to listen to. I know he filled in for Randy Rhoads when he died and they recorded that crappy Speak of the Devil CD. I happen to like that particular Night Ranger song if only for cheesy amusement purposes. I can't say I remember the solo but then again the guitar playing wasn't very memorable either.

Sepultura's "Territory" has a surprisingly bad solo. Especially considering that Kisser owns ye all.

 

[Dreadful]

Speaking of Sepultura...Alexi Laiho did an absolutely terrible take of Andreas Kisser's excellent "Mass Hypnosis" solo in their cover...It was a downer, but oh well...both Sepultura and Children of Bodom are really gay nowadays.
