Best Guitar Solo?
1st thought - "Eruption" - Eddie Van Halen
2nd - "Anestisia - Pulling Teeth" Bass solo - Cliff Burton from Metallica
3rd - "Everybody Want Some" - Van Halen
4th - "Unchained" - Van Halen
5th - "Crazy Train" - Randy Rhoades (Ozzy)
Freebird & Layla are outstanding solo's - yet neverending :)
Sympathy for the devil. My personal favourite, live or studio.
FREE BIRD rules
Love sweet child of mine GNR
Free Bird is good....personally, I like Jimmy Page's solo in Stairway....it's classic
Hotel California.
So hard to choose just one, tho... Layla is so great too. Anything that involves Duane Allman and/or Eric Clapton is pretty hard to beat.
Jeff Beck's 'Cause we've ended as lovers' - whole song is a guitar solo - does that count?
'Blue Sky' - By the Allman Bros.
it is and allways be freebird.
I love Layla! but I would have to say Eric Clapton's "Cocaine" is the best
my fav is Highway Star by Richie Blackmore, also Since Ive been loving you by Jimmy Page. From the more lyrical stuff, Something, by George Harrison.
bat country by avenged sevenfold
over the mountain by ozzy
crazy train by ozzy
master of puppets by metallica
Try "fear of the dark" Live version, from Iron Maiden, it includes 3 different guitar solos, that rocks :)
Some personal favorites......
Queen - Brighton Rock ( the whole song is basically a solo)
Ozzy - Crazy Train
Dire Straights - Sultans of Swing
Bob Marley - No Woman No Cry (just a sexy solo)
Eagles - Hotel California
Pearl Jam - Alive
Hi Nessa,
If you want to talk about old, then I would have to say,
Carlos Montanya's ' Levante ". Talk about Solo's, this one
Beats the others by Light Years.
Whole lotta Rosie - AC/DC
Freebird,smells like teen spirit,sweet childo mine,Hendrix National anthem,Nirvana unplugged,Panama,All along the watch tower,18 and lfe/skid row, White Room/cream,Eye of the tiger....just the begining gets the adrenaline flowing
While Peter Frampton's solo in "do you feel like I do" is always a classic, I have to say Derek Trucks Rocking Horse Solo is off the chain!!!
old:the best solo ever is ofcourse stairway to heaven
new: i was quite surprised by the solo in She Builds Quick Machines by Velvet Revolver
Hendrix-All Along the Watch-Tower
Cream-White Room
I like Pink Floyd-''Shine On You Crazy Diamond''(David Gilmour is a genius). And a guitar solo in ''The Spirit Carries On'' by John Petrucci(Dream Theater).
