What's The Best Guitar Solo Ever?!

[Luke/Hellflame]

I was listening to alot of heavy metal last night so I thought I'd ask what everyone's favorite Guitar solo song is

Mine is probably Guns N' Roses-Sweet Child O' Mine,I love the guitar solo soooooo much,it has to be the best one ever,Slash is probably the best guitarist in the world.

[Doctor Manhattan]

There's a mini-guitar solo in The White Stripes' Ball & Biscuit that I cream over everytime I hear it.

you just saved my brain!

I've been playing the intro for about 2 days now and couldn't for the life of me figure out what song it was. By saying that you just saved me about weeks worth of confusion.

And Back On Topic:

Sweet Child O' Mine.

[Ant]

Well, since my favorites have been mentioned, I'll mention some lesser-liked/known ones:

Adema's "Vikraphone"
SR-71's "In My Mind" and "Hello Hello"


Ahhh, man, I had more to list, but I just had a brain fart. :lol:

[Blaze]

Stairway to Heavean

Sweet Child O' Mine

Symphony X - Of sin and Shadows

Anything by the shredders that nobody ever talks about like Malsteem and Steve Vai

[Minus Xero]

Jane's Addiction - Three Days

Especially live, since Navarro changes up the solo every time.

[Dr. Octagonapus]

My top 10:

1. Van Halen - Eruption
2. Yngwie Malmsteen - Arpeggios From Hell
3. Ozzy - Crazy Train
4. Metallica - Master of Puppets
5. GNR - Sweet Child O' Mine
6. Zep - Stairway to Heaven
7. Metallica - One (There's 3 solos and they all kick ass, lol)
8. AFI - Dancing Through Sunday
9. Ace Frehley - 2001: A Space Odyssey (He only played this one live with Kiss, so you probably haven't heard it, but HOLY SHIT)
10. Alter Bridge - Open Your Eyes

Anything by someone with the last name Vai, Satriani, Petrucci, or Gilbert is good too. ;)

[Lpimp]

I'll say Metallica-Master of Pupets :thumbsup:

[Rinkin]

In Flames - The New World

[Justin]

I don't know many but here are some of my favourites:
Alter Bridge: Open Your Eyes
Guns 'n Roses: Sweet Child Of Mine
Audioslave: Be Yourself

I'll definitely download all the songs listed so far.

It's a great solo, but the best ever? Hardly.

[Suffice]

Dragon Force - Fury Of The Storm

Bloody excellent

Is it your new thing to start keeping scores of what people say?

[TeMpEsT]

MegaDeth - Hanger 18 (Dave Mustaine)
Rage Against the Machine - Clear the Lane (Tom Morello)
Dream Theater - Beyond this Life (John Petrucci)
Slayer - Die By the Sword (Jeff Hanneman)
Krisiun - Messiah's Abomination (Moyses Kolesne)
Metallica - Master of Puppets (Kirk Hammet)

[Link04]

Eric Clapton....pick a song...

Cream: Crossroads
Spoonful, that second track off of his blues album...the man's incredible.

[Anthony.]

Lynrd Skynrd's Freebird.

Any Clapton solo indeed (I like She's Gone introductory solo on One More Car, One More Rider particularily).

[pushingmeaway1]

i agree. freebird is def. the best

[Darcy]

Once upon a time, before Weezer was created, frontman Rivers Cuomo played lead guitar in a terrible hair metal band called "Avant Garde." God damn, he can shread. The only good thing about that band was the guitar solos. Fucking incredible...

That having been said, I really like the solo in Queen's "Don't Stop Me Now" and just about any solo that Jimmy Page plays.

EDIT: Sublime has some great solos. "Seed" is a good one, and the solo in "Santeria" is by far the best part of that entire song.

Did you know he did the solo from The Beatles' 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps?'

...add that to my list.

hellflame: No, I just thought it would be a nice alternative to the vanilla PWND.

[Louis]

Led Zeppelin - Stairway to Heaven
AC/DC - Back in Black

[Hundiraev]

Deep purple - Child in time

and a lot of songs by dire straits and black sabbath

[Testament]

Hmmm.

Motorbreath-Metallica
South Of Heaven-Slayer
Suicide Messiah-BLS
Reborn-Damageplan
Anything by Morbid Angel. I mean, really now.

[Matt]

Van Halen-You Really Got Me (I like all the licks in it)
Metallica-Master of Puppets
GnR-Sweet Child O' Mine



They're all awesome.

[Testament]

I forgot to add Pantera-Cemetary Gates.

[Chris Luke]

The solo at the end of Lip Gloss & Black by Atreyu is pretty good. It's simple but with the piano, it sounds awseome.

[a life in ashes]

i'm sorry guns 'n' roses-sweet child of mine is the best solo.ever.

[Luke/Hellflame]

As I said before when I started this topic,Guns 'N' Roses-Sweet Child O' Mine was the best guitar solo ever but here are a fer runner ups:

Metallica-Nothing Else Matters
Trivium-Like Light To The Flies
The Scorpions-Rock You Like A Hurricane
Iron Maiden-No More Lies
Black Lable Society-Suicide Messiah

[Scotty]

Coffee And TV by Blur has a neat solo. It's just one distorted string with some tapping but it sounds cool with the acoustic rhythm guitar. :P
Other than that I would probably say Cemetery Gates, or most Van Halen and AC/DC songs.

[Odaton]

Dream Theater - Under A Glass Moon

OR

Dream Theater - Voices
by John Petrucci

Both bleed heart and soul and are technically amazing! B)
