Thanks Michael, just gave me my first coffee snort!

That was superb!, it sounds like shit but for sheer posing it can't be beat, taking off the wristband, pointing to the crowd and nodding , scissor kicks!!

There are somethings you just can't TAB.

[boiwonder]

Steve Perry, ''Oh Sherry" pretty much blows! Dont know who played the solo.

[dangerous_dave]

Slayer, Kirk hammet (the michael jackson of metal), nirvana...

[Boxcar Willie 84]

i dunno what the worst guitar solo of all time is, but i am bent on being the one to come up with it!

[markD]

anything by janick gers in iron maiden.....which surprises me because his playing on bruce dickinson's "tattooed millionaire" is very nice.

[jdr94]

dont know how many of you know this song but Nuclear Assaults "surgery" off of handle with care has this stupid single note solo.

[Rsmacker]

You are all wrong.

The worst guitar solo of all time was recorded by a clog-wearing, gangly poodle-headed Astronomy graduate by the name of Brian fucking May, in "We Will Rock You". Absolute garbage.

In fact, mark up ANY of his solos, the bloke is a total shitehawk, and the fact he has made a long career and piles of cash out of it makes it soooooo much worse.

[Snoogans]

Christ! Steady on there, Brian's up with Elton and Princess Di in the "Can't possibly be criticised" bracket.
You'll be telling us that Freddie was bent next...

are you kidding dude?

every note Brian plays is pure gold

[horns666]

are you kidding dude?

every note Brian plays is pure gold

Plus, a billion!!!!

Brian May is amoung the elite IMO!!!

[sevser]

There are a ton of shitty solos, but the ones from our forefathers that come to mind are...

The solo in the Beatles "Revolution" Good God!!! but hey...It was in 68' so give em kudos for pioneering the "In your face" guitar solo!

I also get right out of my fucking tree hearing the end of Layla!!! Sounds like cats dying! That lead melody gets credited for having emotion but...Its just poorly pitched.

[Rsmacker]

No, no, this is just them Yanks laying some of their sense of humour on me, it's only fair, we do it to them all the time.

Aaargh Fuck it, I'm gonna bite....

You cannot be serious, Brian fucking May is the most talentless prick ever to pick up a guitar, even more so than that bell-end who used to be in Neighbours and was always on Top of The Pops with a 88 Ltd Edition Jackson (prompting my first seizure).

Brian fucking May, no no no , it's not the fact he and his Dad looked at their mantlepiece one day and thought, hey, let's make a guitar out of it, as you do, along with bits of motorbike and fucking knitting needles. Which he then played for fucking years, well into his recording career!
It's not the fact he wears wooden clogs, but not in a New-Model-Army-nutcase-stomping-fan type of way, more in a poncy-tiptoe-thru-the-tulips type of way.
It's not the fact he would rather watch "The Sky At Night" presented by Patrick Moore than Tiswas (I might be making this one up, but I'm sure it's true).
Nor that he uses a sixpence instead of a pick - at least Billy Gibbons uses a coin in current circulation, using a sixpence is just poncy in the extreme.
It's not even the fact that he's shagging that nasty old trout off Eastenders and that from behind they are fucking identical.
No, none of those things, and not even because he goes round Stephen fucking Hawking's house and discusses astrophysics over tea and crumpets (I might well be making this bit up too).
And it's definitely not because the Queen made him Lord Fucking May of StupidHair (well, OK, she gave him a CBE, close) whilst my Honour obviously got lost in the post.


No, it's not that he plays stuff I don't like, more the fact he is totally shit at what he has done. But all that aside, let's get back the question in hand, the worst solos of all time.

I mean, come on now, that arse-squirt of a solo in "We Will Rock You", WTF is that all about? It sounds like they were all off down the pub and he thought, fuck it, hang on chaps, erm, <spazzes out any old shit> finished! Let's go!
Hang on, it can't be that, he doesn't drink (apparently he had a "bad experience" once onstage after drinking a bottle of whisky with Joe Perry. Oh, how I would have loved to have seen that gig)

Nope, so maybe someone from the record company dropped into the studio and said "That needs a solo", but Brian fucking May was away at a clog convention or something so some enterprising studio engineer took an out-take of him messing about and sellotaped it into the track.

That is the worst solo of all time, it sounds like Gary Moore falling down some stairs.


I've cheerfully owned up to it before, and I'll say it again, I was seriously, really, actually out in the garden the day Brian fucking May played on top of Buckingham Palace doing a little rain dance and praying, begging, pleading for a fucking great big forked MF of a bolt of lightning to frazzle him, live on TV. That's how I know there is no God, no deity could have possibly ignored a performance like I put on.

My neighbours think I'm mental.

And it's all Brian fucking May's fault, and We Will Fucking Rock You.

I'm going for a lie down in the dark.

[thetroy]

Brian rules and Queen is possibly the greatest band to ever walk the earth.

That is fucking classic.

He is not my favorite player by any stretch, and I have always been mystified by people who actually go out of their way to cop his AC30 on the verge of death being juiced by an icepick tone, but he has had a couple of decent moments. Like his solo on "Crazy Little Thing Called Love." Which just goes to show you that when you take away the most hideous guitar ever made by man, the "Red Special", and replace it with a nice Telecaster...decent sounds can come out of him...oh yeah, and replace that AC30 with a MkII Boogie, which he used for that cut, and things tend to get better as well.

Blazer..wow, I haven't seen that in a LONG time. That was much worse than I remebered it..but I still like it. WTF is wrong with that bass player???!!!:ROTF:

Kansas..wow, wasn't expecting that one..that's a materpiece IMO!

I'd say...

The Beastie Boys.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6NdAUnnU9Ac

It is rumored that Kerry King played that solo..no fuggin' way.

OH SHIT!!!..Is that Kerry in the video..maybe that was him???

It is Kerry. Here he is again, at 3:30, adding a little love to "No Sleep Till Brooklyn"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RI2IyHXJo5M

Rumor has it that the gorilla was supposed to knock Kerry off the stage, but Kerry insisted that he knock the gorilla off.

Oh, and I like May, but that post is beautiful.
