you know the story behind that solo?
according to legend george clinton told eddie hazel to play as if his mother just died. they turned out the lights, hit record, and never bothered with a 2nd take.
my personal favourite rock solo comes from a simliar studio fluke. 'three days' is the only song all 4 original members of jane's addiction recorded together on their 'ritual de lo habitual' album prior to breaking up. the whole song was recorded in one take (more impressive when you consider it's length and complexity coupled with the bands excessive drug use). the live version that was released on 'kettle whistle' a few years later is even better.
