Something about the solo in Hey Joe always hits a spot for me. Jimi is god and if anyone says anything else then theyre a fucking dumbass who cant think for shit.

Tom Morello's solo in Guerrilla Radio by Rage Against The Machine is unbeatable.

Actually I should clarify I mean the third and final solo that the song goes out on (but the other two are pretty good as well.)

Nah, I was talking about the track that's listed as "Róisín Dubh" on the Black Rose album, or as "Black Rose" on other albums. It's got about 4 solos in it, and they're all ace. I think I probably like the Danny Boy one best.

Led Zeppelin - Stairway To Heaven,
Muse - Thoughts Of A Dying Atheist,
Muse - Knights Of Cydonia,
Steve Vai - Get The Hell Out Of Here,
Steve Vai - Speed,
Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb,
Pink Floyd - Money,
AC/DC - TNT,
Black Sabbath - Crazy Train.

At the moment, those are the songs which I love the solos to. There may be more that I can't think of so at the moment, I'll just leave you with those.

Anything done by Zakk Wylde.

Especially the 12-minute solo he did at Detroit Ozzfest in '07. That was bad as hell.

Anyone can do it, just turn your gain on 11, all your EQ at 11, turn on some effects, and have fun with the kill switch and sissy stick

The lovely one in Bohemian Rhapsody. It's so unexpected but fits perfectly in the song.

Lovely!

Instead of pointing out some random overrated classic rock song I'll just say I've always liked Matt Freeman's bass solo in Rancid's song Maxwell Murder.

Doesn't need a solo to kick some ass but it has a few anyway.

Dragonforce suck, they can play in the studio but live (Black Crusade UK) they are so crap.

Buckethead has the best solos imo

Hmmm.... Pretty much all Thin Lizzy/Gary Moore stuff has a kick ass solo in it. Also, beat it by Michael Jackson.
