        I'm not a big solo fan anymore, but the one that always spoke to me is Van Halen, "Light Up the Sky"...it just explodes off the stereo.


        Vernon Reid 'Cult Of Personality' (Mainly 'cos it pisses people off)
        That it does!

          Reb Beach - Never Get Enough (with The Mob)
          SRV - Voodoo Chile
          I was at work when I posted this, so didn't have time or access to my cd collection to give it much thought.

          Here's some more:

          Marty Friedman - Tornado of Souls
          Steve Vai - For The Love of God (I used to listen to this one with the lights out in the dark, and when the song ended & Coverdale's voice faded out, side 1 (of the cassette - remember those, kids?) would finish and I'd be left there lying in the dark)
          Randy Rhoads - Mr Crowley, Diary of a Madman, Suicide Solution
          Jeff Loomis - River Dragon
          EVH - Hot For Teacher

            Pearl Jam - Alive - that's another good one that just sings (too bad they suck now)

              Dream Theater - Hells Kitchen
              (who am I kidding, thats one of my faves, but John tears it up so much, there's not enough room for me to post all of my fave solos from him)

              Zep - Stairway (pure melody, over a perfect progression)

              Pretty much anything Vito Bratta did back in the day

              SRV - ANYTHING by him. I still to this day contemplate busting my strat out and slapping some single coils back in her just so I can get that duck on.

              So yah, I sure was specific in this one... but there's just way too many that come to mind. I would have to listen to my entire music collection 10 times over in a row to conclude I think.

                  Anything Neal Schon from the early Journey years.
                  His powerful and screaming bending-solos are unmatched.

                            Ha,…well I’m pleasantly surprised to see one or two mentions of stuff from Clapton & Beck . OK, so my choice (& now you know I don’t play much shred/metal lol!) …

                            Crossroads (just the lead guit., ie without all the mushy noise on Cream recordings)
                            Steppin Out (EC again, Beano)
                            Sultans of Swing
                            Hideaway (again, EC Beano version)
                            All Your Love (original raw 1956 ver. from Otis Rush)
                            Led Boot’s (Jeff B.)
                            Come Dancing (Jeff. B.)

                              If this is our perdition, will you walk with me?
