Best solos
 

Looking for people's favorite solos, any instrument, any genre. I'll kick it off with the sax solo on Billy Joel's New York State of Mind. Figured there would be a thread like this already, but i searched and found kaput...

YouTube - Children of Bodom--Kissing the Shadows

They could really take a lesson from Crass' "The Sound of Free Speech" in that song.

or..one of the most beautiful sounds i have ever heard from a guitar

YouTube - Bullet For My Valentine Unreleased Song

Oh hell.

Does anyone else love the fiddle solo on Charlie Daniel's Band - "The Devil Went Down To Georgia"?

Guitar - I love the solo for Jimi Hendrix's "Little Wing"

Drums - Toad by Cream

Bass - "My Generation" The Who! <-- I LOVE that solo!!!

It's cliche but:

Guitar: Final solo on November Rain (Guns n' Roses)
Bass: Probably Metropolis Pt. 1 (Dream Theatre)
Piano: Dance of Eternity (Dream Theatre)

Pink Floyd - Comfortably numb. definitly my favorite solo ive ever heard, not necessarilly that difficult just simply amazing.

Guns n roses - Dont cry tonight, at the end of his solos he makes the guitar cry. just listen for it. also if you know what slash is doing, hes using the feedback switch on his guitar to sustain certain notes and give them a different sound than the others. if you really listen you can hear when he turns it on throughout his solos.

Jimi hendrix - Voodoo Chile. NOT CHILD. CHILE - EEEEE.

Metallica - Shortest Straw. not really my favorite song and i never really thought kirks solos were very good but this one is just awesome. definitly the best metal solo i think ive heard. its just so different and cool and he has some awesome ideas.

Thanks everyone for posting; I'm getting a lot of good listening ideas here. Might start a similar thread in the jazz forum to see what kind of non bass/guitar/drum solos I can find.
