Best Rock Solo Ever

MunkyHed

Definetly Pink floyd cumfortably numb,
and since someone mentioned zeppelin at last since i've been loving you is sheer genius along with no quarter and the insane bowing on dazed and confused.

It wasn't me!

I was wondering, what do people think of the weird little solo in Time is Running Out by Muse?

Sleepy

Sometimes less is more and there's truth in simplicity so I'm going for old Slowhand:

Layla

Pyr0

I know its not a Rock solo but i'll say it anyway

Pantera - Cowboys From Hell

Pyr0

Oooooo yeah another one i forgot

Pantera - Walk

Can't get enough of it

$lash

Slash -> Estranged , or anything by Slash for that matter..

Not a rock solo, but best solo ever in a metal song

YEAH, or the one in northern comfort.
slash is great alright, the godfather one is awesome,a lso nightrain(extended version)


or the one I wrote last night, heh
I hate these threads, but at lest i get to say BODOM RULE!!!

I dunno...off the top of me head I would say I love the solo in Soul To Squeeze by the chilies and the build up after it...love 'em! Also I know it's a bit on the cheezy side by now but the solo from Under The Bridge, when the drums kick in and Ferscante starts...mmmm...
Also the carazzy solos in Innuendo by Queen or Cliffs 'solo' in Orion

Magnolia_Fan

Chuck Berry - Johnny Be Good duh!

Cina

Jimmy Page - Stairway to Heaven / Heartbreaker.
Jimi Hendrix - All Along the Watchtower / Voodoo Chile
Slash - Sweet Child O mine
Lots of Frank Zappa stuff too.

Both the solos flea does on "Coffee Shop" from the one hot minute album. Also the one he does on "Naked in the Rain" From BSSM.

Portrait of Tracy by Jaco Pasrorius. Whole song is a solo.

As for the guitar....im surprised ne1 hasnt mentioned the finale to November Rain...........unless some1 has mentioned it already, and ergo i will look quite the fool.....

We're Stars? I have the video for that, plus the making

George is normally brilliant, but his solos on that weren't great.

So, just cos you have the name master of solos, you think you know everything eh?

Im only new to listening to old school rock but id say erruption by Van Halen and machinegun by hendrix are my two favourites

Phil_321

Lynyrd Skynard - Freebird
AC/DC - Whole Lotta Rosie

I like my solos fast and bluesy.

amarc

Pink Floyd - Money
Led Zeppelin - Thank You (LIVE BBC Sessions Version)

2+2=5

pink floyd- shine on you crazy diamond

most of the song is a solo :cool:

Carlitos

Either the nothing else matters solo (S&M Version)
or that deadly november rain one (outside church in desert)

hostyle

Smashing Pumpkins - Rhinocerous

Not a solo per se, but I know damn well Billly would have played the whle thing himself if he just had more arms. He did write all the music ...

Repli

Van Halen - eruption
Pantera - blue light turning red (from their really old stuff)
Manowar - The Gods made heavy metal

Sleepy

Neil Young & Crazy Horse - Like a Hurricane (Live)

Beautiful Bluesy solos practically the whole way through...

Which version, cause the original on Zep III, doesn't have one?

**Rory Gallagher - Messin' With Kid (Live Version)**

Best palm-muting solo you'll ever hear

iasc

as a sidenote, i should mention that the best palm-muting youll possibly ever hear is on rory's irish tour album, on the breakdown on walk on hot coals, absolutley amazing

Sideshow Debs

Since the original post did not specify that it had to be a guitar solo, how about the drum solo in Moby Dick by Led Zeppelin?

John

Lou Reed's opening solo on VU's I Heard Her Call My Name is face meltingly good. Also taken a fancy lately to Robert Fripp's work on Fashion by Bowie.

elivsvonchiaing

Had to be the Pogues in Semple stadium 1991.

Er no wait I was backstage drinking with Shane McGowan trying (in vain) to keep up with him - this is definitely not it. I think I watched him and thought he was brilliant at the time (I think 40,000 people thought otherwise)

(This of course is bull**** - but should qualify for one of the worst performances!)
