| Greatest guitar solos ever. People, hello. In your view what would be the best or some of the very best guitar solos in the history of rock? If you could not tell for sure, then mention rock guitar solos that had a great impact in your musical taste. Note that i am not exactly referring to the kind of guitar solo where extremely high technically skills would be required...it doesn´t have to technically complex...but of course, being a technically complex solo will not exclude it from the list. So far i can think of 2 cases: 1. Led Zeppellin´s (Jimmy Page) solo on "Stairway to Heaven". 2. Pink Floyd´s "Another Brick on the Wall". Those 2 could be more than classics. |

| Hmm this is very difficult because there are so many that I really like and enjoy and so many that have influenced me. So in no particular order: Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin) - Stairway to Heaven Kirk Hammett (Metallica) - Fade to Black Dimebag Darrel (Pantera) - Cemetary Gates Eddie Van Halen (Van Halen) - Eruption David Gilmour (Pink Floyd) - Comfortably Numb Slash (Guns N Roses) - November Rain Randy Rhoads (Ozzy) - Crazy Train Erich Clapton (Derek and the Dominoes ) - Layla Kirk Hammett (Metallica) - One Dimebag Darrel (Pantera) - Floods Jimi Hendrix - All Along the Watchtower Brian May (Queen) - Bohemian Rhapsody Zakk Wylde (Ozzy) - No More Tears Prince - Little Red Corvette Alex Lifeson (Rush) - Working Man

| SodStitch, hello. I have to agree with you; even if Led Zepellin is to some extent "new" to me, that solo is really exciting to hear -also the rythm guitar in the background makes an excellent work-. Adler, hi. That´s an interesting list; i do not know some of the songs you listed, but i´ll check them out, i might discover something interesting. Agree with you on Zack Wylde though...he is possibly one of the top guitarists in the metal scene. |

| My all time favorite solo is from UFO's Live album Strangers in the Night, "Lights Out". Michael Schenker has killer guitar tone and is just roaring all the way through! |

| Ok Adler, for you since you have some knowledge on rock and metal issues: Are there any songs from Black Sabbath whose guitar solos could make their way through here? I have been exposed to the music of some guy who is a guitar freak...he introduced me to a band named Van Halen. There was a song where the guitar was seriously remarkable in my view "Girl Gone Bad", and i am not necessarily referring to the guitar solo, but to the rythm guitar as the chorus sings "giiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiirl....", very wild, very good. Excellent guitar player. He advised me the guitarist of Van Halen is someone to be taken really really seriously. |

| Brian May, Briton Rock, not the CD version, but live performed it's an orchestra on it's one. Saw him perform this stunt several times, never heard anything like it.

War Pigs Black Sabbath Dirty Woman Snowblind Sabbra Cadabra Paranoid Iron Man Electric Funeral ....Just to name a few. It is rather difficult becuase Tony Iommi was allways changing his solos anyhow from live gig to live gig and they rarely were anything like on the albums. His live stuff is amazing. Quote:

| Yes, yes...i have been way too underground so far with my industrial/electro dark music, i admit it. So i can assume you are correct with regard to Van Halen for the reaction of this guy who introduced me to it -well "introduced me" is an overstatement for when he put the song he was of course assuming i knew who the band was- was pretty similar to yours, the only difference was he grabbed one of his several guitars as if thinking of smashing it in the back of my head. I am on my way to become 22 by the end of this year -December 31-, and about the planet usually i live on earth but from time to time i like to travel outside this particular planet. Ok, so i might not see the guitar freak until weekend probably, who is the singer? I like the attitude of the voice...for some reason his voice sounds like the type of frontman a heavy metal band would like to have on stage right? Do you recall this particular song "Girl Gone Bad"? Listen to the closing part, all the screaming and saying, it is a voice with an attitude -if we talk about this type of rock for sure-. |
