Your favourite Guitar-Solo

[fett]

I just have to go with the Woodstock version of "I'm Going Home" by 10 Years After. Alvin Lee just kicked everyone's ass back then.

From the band Pestilence, album Testimony of the Ancients, song: twisted truth. A death metal band with a soulful lead is very hard to find. But the solo fits so well with the song... almost brings tears to my eyes whenever I listen to it.

Whole lotta Rosie

Whole lotta Rosie

I could buy that. AC/DC Live is the best live CD ever.

by Marty Friedman..

[petedz]

You said favorite, so I'm gonna get pretty obscure.

The Messiah Will Come Again as covered by Gary Moore (No words can describe this one. Probably Gary's finest moment.)

Images by Cacophony (The whole song, actually. Between the weird koto like parts, some country sounding twang, Friedman ripping of Uli Jon Roth licks, and some darn good songwriting...oh, and monster sweeps! I get hard every time I hear it! Holy schitt those guys had good vibrato too.)

Cry of the Gypsy by Dokken (Mr. Scary didn't fuck up too often back then, but this one especially does it for me. Not just the solo but the fills as well.)

She Likes It On Top by Lillian Axe (Stevie Blaze just amazes me on this one. It has it all melody, perfect construction, speed, chaos, the works!)

Rain in the Tunnel by Michael Lee Firkins (The man knew how to squeeze everything out of every note he played back then.)

I could go on for days, but y'all are already yawning. So much good stuff out there.

Carcass: Enbodiment (1st Solo)

[VEGETATHEPUPPET]

Megadeth - Holy Wars... The Punishment Due
Pantera - Floods


\m/

[GiantBaba]

God's Monkey - Sylvian/Fripp, live from "Damage"
The Final Cut - Pink Floyd
21st Century Schizoid Man - King Crimson
The Eight Day - The Damned

[Sinistas]

Pink Floyd - High Hopes (Pulse)

[Razor]

Lynch Mob - For a Million Years solo and outro solo...kicks my ass everytime I hear it.

Ratt - Round and Round...it isn't the speed that counts, it's the feel.

[atomic charvel guy]

Bron-Yr-Aur, Custard Pie- zeppelin
Axis -Bold as Love, Angel, Easy rider-Hendrix
Star cycle, Cause We've ended as Lovers,You Never Know,-The final Peace, el Becko-Jeff Beck,
and about a thousand more by Van halen with roth, warren De Martini, Badlands, Zappa, the stones, there's just too many to list, some with a lot of lightening in them, some are slow and lift you right off the couch, just too many to list. Music is a great gift to have.
