Solos That Drives You Crazy

What's your favorite solos?
The ones that makes you feel in extasys. The climax of the song. The part that makes your spine chill.

My personal favorite is Canon Rock (by JerryC). Wow, its simply amazing! The whole song kinda prepares you to it.
The kinda country solo that makes my heart skip a beat is Green Grass And High Tides (by The Outlaws). Its like, 5 minutes of non-stop guitar solos right in the end of the music. Fantastic!

Other solos that i like are from The Glass Prison (Dream Theater), Through The Fire and Flames (Dragonforce), One and Master Of Puppets(Metallica), Something (The Beatles) and Art Of Life (X-Japan).

I love the solos on "Chasing the Wind" by Galneryus. The song it self gives me goose bumps every time I listen to it.

Solos: 1:02 - 1:29 and 5:07 - 6:58

and I love the guitar solo on Led Zeppelins "Fool in thee Rain". So freakin' awesome.

solo: 3:52 - 4:58

there's more, I just can't remember them at the time...

Some Jeff Loomis stuff



Petrucci. I really love the mellow solo in The Count of Tuscany (00:27-4:29 in the 2nd Count of Tuscany video) and the ending of Octavarium. Masterpiece in my book.

The Shattered Fortress 2/2 2:34-3:56


Ill add some more later. For many others, refer to this thread.

I'll only go with one for now, might come back and post some more later on.

Jeff Beck is amazing in this, it sends shivers down my spine every time. Not to mention the most awesome part of this; Tal Wilkenfeld's absolutely fabulous bass solo that starts at like 1:20 something.



This my friends, are genius.

Hahaa, thanks for the feedback, people!
Time 2 add some more i love!
This time with youtube videos, nice idea guys! ^^

Never Been to Barcelona (Vinnie Moore)
Spanish tune, with lots of turn-ups and fast arpeggios! The solo is fantastique. At 2:30.


Silent Jealousy (X-Japan)
Very famous band, X-Japan made a great work on this one. Specially at the solo. Check it out, at 4:34

Cliff Burton nuff said

Pretty much anything by Deep Purple, Iron Maiden, and Led Zeppelin.

Yes, I'm cheating.

Anyways, my personal favorite has always been this one:



3:45-5:07 is fucking greatness.

I <3 Deep Purple



FUCK YEAH!

Uhh this is a hard one since it kinda depends on my emotional state ill put these two here for now but ill probably be back if i dont forget.

The title never said anything about the solo having to be good.

Solos at 1:08, 2:32,and 5:03. Megadeth never fails to have a fucking awesome solo.

I can't believe I forgot about MEGADETH! *Punches self in Face*
they NEVER FAIL to deliver awesome songs with AWESOME Solos...



Pure AWESOMENESS!!!

The mighty and scary Jeff Loomis (Nevermore)

These aren't necessarily my favourite ones, but a sampler of sorts:


All-time favourite: Chuck Schuldiner (Death/Control Denied)

One of my favorite solos of all time and I just recently started listening to this band.

Well, some say that the best songs are the classical ones.
Here's some good solos from Metallica

Enter Sandman (Solo at 2:43)
(it fits good with the base guitar, and its kinda agressive, combines with the song mood)


Master Of Puppets (Solos at 3:52 and 5:43)
(first calm, harmonic solo and then an awesome fast-strumming and agressive solo)


Now a super classic awesome solo.

Stairway to Heaven (Solo at 5:55)
(very famous solo, awesome!)

2:00 to 5:00, awesome guitar solo

Fuck.


And possibly all the solos in the "Meaning Corrupted" songs.

...welcome to greatness ^

one of my favorites preformed by steve vai, acted out by... the karate kid -_-


a standard and a classic


a song with 3 guitar solos is good in my book


and of course my hero, the reason i play guitar, buckethead

And that's all I have to say about that.
