Best Guitar Solo Ever..? 2008-02-24 12:42:02 Reply

So here I was, listening to some Led Zeppelin, when I wondered: what is the best guitar solo ever?

Strong contenders include Free Bird, Sweet Child O Mine, One, Hanger 18 or Through the Fire and the Flames (best IMO)

So NG... what do you think?

Anyone who nominated a Dragonforce song is a FUCK YOU AND STOP PLAYING GUITAR HERO 3 YOU FUCKING SHITFACE FUCK FUCK.

Now, that's over with, I'd say Steve Vai's 'Get The Hell Out Of Here', Pink Floyd's 'Dogs' and Test Icicles' 'Catch It!' even though it doesn't really have a guitar solo, it's still pretty fucking cool.

That also goes for anyone who has nominated a song from Guitar Hero.

So pick one, not four.
If we're doing it that way though, anything off of Children of Bodom's Hatebreeder album.
Some good shit.

Personally, I think its Lynyd Skynyrd-Free Bird. This is only because I've grown up with that particular kind of music.

Got to be Stairway. Not because it's supposedly the best song ever, but just because it frikkin' rocks.

Well through the fire and flames is great but it's almost like they took a great solo and hit the fast forward button. I'm probably just saying this because I'm a drummer but fast doesn't always mean good. Still it did make the crazy bits where they slowed down 80 times cooler.

Communication Breakdown's great. The Ocean's solo is good just because it's well written, it reminds you of earlier parts of the song. Also I can't believe no one has mentioned Stevie Ray Vaughen or Jimi Hendrix.

And I couldn't find a lot of good Jimi Hendrix videos, just people mimicking him.

Also I really think Stairway to Heaven has a great solo. I hate it when people say I'm just trying to act all cool when I say this, even though I really like the solo. It just fits the song.

Usually in threads like these, I'm a prat and suggest You Suffer by Napalm Death, but it gets old.

Anyway, I never really rank guitar solos, nor do I really listen to them intensly anymore. I used to like the solos in many Pink Floyd songs.
