10. David Gilmour-Live solo from Sorrow (DSOT);

[/ QUOTE ]

Oh god, that one probably would have slipped my mind, but you're right--that solo is unreal.

Most of mine have been listed already, but I'll add:

Steve Vai - Big Trouble (still my favorite Vai solo)
EVH - Drop Dead Legs (it's so slippery and sexy)
EVH - One Foot Out the Door (the other side of Ed--balls out aggressive)
Reb Beach - Seventeen (I just love the way this one builds--it's really a "song within a song")

I agree jgcable, its a blast to play too. I like that old Dio/viv stuff. Last in line, Raninbow in the dark and Holy diver were on the set list on couple cover bands I played in.

[/ QUOTE ]

I have to agree on that. That stuff always brings out the "air" guitar when Im driving in the car. Great stuff!

[Hellraiser6502]

Re: Best Guitar Solo of the 80s?

I have 3 favorites....

1)Diary of a Madman-Ozzy-Rhoads

2)Rainbow in the Dark-Dio-Campbell

3)Mean Streak-Y&T-Meniketti

Re: Best Guitar Solo of the 80s?

Hey dudes..

I was out of line man. I had of those days where everything just sucked ..the moment I opened my eyes this morning.

I was so wired and wound earlier ...I got into it with my wife , my kid , some asshole on the phone that I wish I could rip his head off..I've been a little out of control in my personal life to be honest guys. And I'm going to get in the jackpot if I don't settle the fuck down..

I know what my problem is...which is mostly physical pain... frustration when I had to leave a job that I really liked because of what happened to my ass..I'm going paralyzed in the left hand (my playing hand) , I can't feel the strings...it feels like I'm playing with mittens on...and my pinky doesn't work anymore...but I still push myself...and I am getting better...how , I don't know. [img]/images/graemlins/scratchhead.gif[/img]

I stay home and avoid people as much as possible to avoid confrontation and problems. I am way too easily provoked and I WILL get physical , before my brain can tell me not to...this has happened four major times this year and is a miracle I didn't get into any trouble..

So for what it worth ...I was wrong...I am sorry...

This thread IS about best guitar solos of the 80's which is a great topic..not the bullshit I was spewing..

I was just on TEN all day today...in a real bad way..

I took a couple tranqs went for a ride with my dad and realize that I got to cut this crap...not for this JCF stuff...but for me and everyone that depends on me.

So again ...you guys rule...especially my "peeps"...you know who ya are..

BTW I do have some favorite solos from the 80's..

let me think....they MUST be from the 80's..hmmmmmmmmmm.

Push Comes to shove ..Ed really wanted to go Holdsworth legato on that..

Goodbye To Romance and Revelation Mother Earth...

Hammerhead by Steve Lynch of Autograph..

Harry Cody in Shout It Out..

Ronnie Letekro..sapphire

Nuno in Do you want to play..

Akira Takasaki...You shook me..

don't tell me you love me..

George Lynch in The Hunter..and numerous

John Norum..in Dokken Crash N Burn..

Paul Gilbert...everything on the first Racer X

Cacophony same..

Apocrypha...I can't pick one..

King Diamond ..welcome home..and so many others..

John Sykes Cold Sweat..

Savatge..hall of the mountain king

There is way too many to list..I'm overwhelmed.` [img]/images/graemlins/what.gif[/img]

Re: Best Guitar Solo of the 80s?

Re: Best Guitar Solo of the 80s?

Man, how did I forget Nuno? Big Boys Don't Cry. His tone, his vibrato, his melodies are just amazing on that solo.
