Worst Guitar Solos of All Time

[Vass]

My nominee:Twisted Sister, "We're Not Gonna Take It". Playing along with the vocal melody, with the inclusion of some whammy action that sounds like a cartoon cat jumped on the bar.

What are your nominees?

[Horse Called War]

Kansas- Carry on Wayward Son.. Great guitar Riff ,builds up to the the climax, and poof premature ejaculation on the solo

[Megadeth79]

ever heard of nirvana?

[thetroy]

Slayer

[AfterForever]

BLS - In this river

The song is ok, I like the beginning, but the solo is so out of place.. Terrible.

[SouthPlatteDemon]

Slayer

[Cygnus X1]

He gets a lot of credit for "feeling", but I was never "hip" enough to get Neil Young's "Into the BlacK- Hey Hey My, My..." one note solo's.
And the many copies it inspired, like Tom Petty's nonsense.
Both good songwriters, though.

You're right Slayer is not the worst of all time, but for the acclaim they get I think they are pretty bad solos.

[Incster]

Hasn't Guitar World given C.C. Deville of Poison that award?

[levantin]

Katatonia!

[Newc]

"I Love It Loud" - 6-note double-bends. Gotta be the shortest solo in history.

[El Chiguete]

Kirk Hamlet.....

[SouthPlatteDemon]

You guys are all wrong, the worst solo didn't come from Kurt Cobain who usually plays the vocal melody. (and why are people saying that Nirvana killed off the guitar solo when they DID have solos in their songs?)

It's also not from CC deville or that Guy from Twisted sister.

It's not the mindless widdling from Kerry and Jeff in Slayer tunes.

It's not Vinnie Vincent's 6 note solo in "I Love it loud"

No, the worst solo ever came from this song...

Guaranteed, it doesn't get any worse than this.
