Favorite guitar solo of all time

[JacksoNeal]

That's a killer solo, total raygun madness!
But the whole album is brilliant anyway.

It really is. Sister of Pain is a classic fun/simple rock song.

I love these kind of threads..

People just can't name "one favorite"

Here are mine:

1- Tornado of Souls - from Megadeth's Rust in Peace by Marty Friedman
2- Edge of Thorns - from Savatage's Edge of Thorns by Criss Oliva
3- The Killing Road - from Megadeth's Youthanasia by Marty Friedman

Jusdas Priest - Dreamer Deciever
Testament - Practice What You Preach
Dio - Rainbow in the Dark
Ozzy - Crazy Train
Ozzy - Good bye to Romance
Ozzy - Bark at the Moon
Ozzy - No More Tears
Nevermore - The River Dragon has Come among many others...
Another vote for Yngwies - Soldier Without faith! Lots more from Yngwie as well...
Van Halen - Eruption

Ah....too many...now I'll be thinking all day!!!

2- Edge of Thorns - from Savatage's Edge of Thorns by Criss Oliva

good call! Criss plays his ass off on that whole album

[Predator1]

My #1 solo has to be the one in Saxon's "Broken Heroes" from The Eagle Has Landed III.

[Megadeth79]

Tornado of Souls and the 2nd solo of Comfortably Numb.

[Sunbane]

Lonely is the Word (Tony Iommi), starting at 1:56.

Honestly, Im gonna have to give it to Vanderhoof... goosebumps every time I hear this solo. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s1lXzKItFEI

And EXTREMELY talented, but often overlooked band. Its a shame they never got the recognition they deserve, they really were different from the rest. A bit more "dark" than most back then, and I think thats what makes them great IMO. When bands like Poison were singing about smoking in a restroom in school, these guys were talking about serious shit, stories, mythology... similar to Maiden only darker. Ill still never know why they didnt get big. Now w/o D Wayne, itll never be the same.

Awesome. I just listened to that CD last week.

I am sorry all of you forgot THE most important guitar solo of all time. it leaves all others in the dust. none even come close.

Strong Bad - "And the dragon comes in the night"


jug jigga jug jigga jug jigga jaw jaw......Meeeleeey meeeeley meeeley meeeeeeeeeeeee

[nhspike]

Steely Dan... My old school
Crushing

[GodOfRhythm]

Probably something by Gilmour. Marooned or something.

Tornado of souls and disposable heroes are the ones in metal. Marco Sfogli has some tasty stuff and Timmons' albums are just filled with tone, melody and feel. Against The Law, both dudes going nuts on that song!

Oh and Lines In The Sand by Dream Theater. Probably the biggest goosebumps moment in music for me, the album version is just sick in all aspects, best tone/sound ever heard.
