Worst Guitar Solos of All Time

[ApeDosMil]

Any Slayer song

[Snoogans]

There's a Lenny Kravitz single, It Ain't Over, or something like that. That solo is really lame. Any solo by Jack White is worthy of hatred. Kurt Cobain could've kicked that guy's ass, why do these twats rate him?
I like the solo in Cult Of Personality. I always figured it was a kind of "anti-solo". We all know that Vernon has some pretty serious chops, and I reckon he was taking the piss on that one.
My favourite worst solo, however, is Madam X's High In High School. Yes, it's a fun song, and it's a chick in thigh boots and spandex, but it really is a bunch of unconnected noises. Like a slowed-down Vinnie Vincent. Just painful...

[Gartron]

not a solo as such , but I've always thought slash's guitar part at the start of live and let die sounds terrible

[jonasaberg]

No no no NO!
You are all wrong. The absolute worst solo in the history of guitar is: Freight train by out-fuckin'-rageous hair metal act Nitro. Not one but TWO absolute crap solos. In comparison, CC Deville's Unskinny Bop solo sounds like angels singing.

OK I love CC and there are worse ones out there, but the solo on "Unskinny Bop" really blew.

the lick near the end where its completely messed up and horrible?

[SEEGERMANY]

Uhm, I thought Beck's solo fit the song perfectly.

[heartfielder]

My vote is for The Kinks - You really got me !!! I cringe every time I hear it !!!!!

Enter Sandman

[StukaJU87]

Worst guitar solo of all time? Anything played by me. And that is no lie.

[TexasRocks]

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.

That guy is stoned out of his mind. Did you see how glassy his eyes were? He is on a serious trip!

Good article on Wiki about Creatures of the Night, and who all played on what songs.

I now return you to your previously scheduled thread.

Steve Farris & Robben Ford take solos, and Bryan Adams wrote a couple of tunes? Now that's metal!

[NextInLine]

Katatonia!

:ROTF:

Yeah I just clicked on the thread to write it.. Dudes are amazing

I agree with the Slayer comments and Megadeth's new guitar player Glen Drover can write some incredibly shitty stuff, kudos to him

[hippietim]

Uhm, I thought Beck's solo fit the song perfectly.

+1

There's a Lenny Kravitz single, It Ain't Over, or something like that. That solo is really lame.

It Ain't Over Til Its Over? I like to jam to that song, but I agree its kind of a lame, boring solo. A different guitar tone and no echo could of helped it greatly. No where near as good as Are You Gonna go My Way. Also, the solo to Remedy by Seether hurts me ears.
