Seeing as the Music board has been getting a little more attention lately, I figured I'd contribute. As the title would suggest, what are some of your favorite guitar solos? Here are a couple of mine...
Black Sabbath - Dirty Women Pink Floyd - Money Deep Purple - Flight of the Rat Atheist - Brains Iron Maiden - Number of the Beast Kreator - Extreme Aggressions Queens of the Stone Age - No One Knows
Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb Blue Oyster Cult - Godzilla Avenged Sevenfold - And all things will end Journey - Any way you want it Metallica - Fade to Black Avenged Sevenfold - I won't see you tonight part 1
I'm missing a lot.
"The Flux capacitor. It's what makes time travel possible."
The outro, the end solo of "Paradise City" by Slash of Guns N' Roses. It Rocks! Can't believe his hand doesn't just fall off playin' it -- so many notes.
Lynyrd Skynyrd - Freebird Queen - Brighton Rock Brian May - Last Horizon GNR - November Rain Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody Sam Roberts - Paranoia Sam Roberts - Mind Flood (though, it's more of a jam)
I would agree with Freebird at #1 Also agree with GNR - November Rain Like to add: Allman Brothers - Tied to the whipping post Eric Clapton - Layla Mark Knopfler - Sultans of Swing Stevie Ray Vaughn - Pride and Joy Led Zeppelin - Whole lotta love B.B King - The thrill is gone
Odd sortiment I guess, but I'm odd too I've been told.
Pete Townshend's solo on See Me Feel Me when performed live. Some great examples are Live At The Isle of Wright, Woodstock and Kampuchea in 79' although that last one, which is his best is impossible for me to currently find. But that's my favorite all time song and I feel like the solo just lifts it to new heights. But yeah, it's the only song I'd consider pefect and while Pete is mainly a rhythm guitarist, real Who fans know that he can rips up a million notes when he wants to.
Here's one for you metalheads out there (I know there're some). The solo in the title track of Deicide's The Stench of Redeption is amazing. It lasts about half the song, which is around four minutes long. I've been listening to that a lot today.
Jimi Hendrix - Voodoo Child Prince - Never Take The Place Of Your Man Eric Clapton - Layla Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody GNR - Welcome To The Jungle Stevie Ray Vaughn - Pride and Joy Metallica - Enter Sandman Johnny Cash - Walk The Line
I very rarely play air guitar, I am getting so old and fat I probably look like a complete fool when I do - always a bad idea in the middle of a supermarket. But when I do it is usually when I am listening to Pink Floyd's The Wall.
Death Monkey already mentioned 'Comfortably Numb', But I would add 'Mother', 'Nobody Home', 'Young Lust' and the last few minutes of 'Another brick in the wall (part 2)' is just stunning. A great album for guitar solo's.
Also I really like the solo in Oasis' 'Live Forever' is a bit of a classic.
I finally found this one on youtube. Yngwie Malmsteen with 80s metal outfit Steeler. It's the intro to the song Hot on Your Heels. It starts of as an acoustic solo then morphs into an electric one. The lead breaks in the song are good too.
If you've not listened to DragonForce, that's some crazy solo action on pretty much any song. But therein lies the curse; a lot of their music sounds the same. My problem with picking something specific is that I tend to listen to music in large chunks and I have trouble picking out songs. I know I really love the guitar work of Pain of Salvation and Dream Theater especially. I listen to a lot of stuff, but when it comes to guitar, those two groups top my list. I never get tired of them.
Just glanced ove the board again, and how could I forget Cliffs of Dover. Damn, tht's a good one.
Another one of my favorite guitar solos is our National Anthem performed by the late, great Jimi Hendrix.
