haha nice.

has anyone seen Jerry C on googlevideo or youtube play canon in D?

i wouldn't say its the most technical or the best solo...but i was still rather impressed.

John Squire on the full length version of the Stone Roses I Am The Ressurrection.

Because it`s cool , it`s funky & there`s no sense of wanking whatsoever & fits the song perfectly.

it's not a metal solo, but lol free bird, like the last 6minutes of it. yayah!

claudioismybitch, totally in agreement! Mr Zakk Wylde must have heard that long solo some good couple of times!
I'll go with Crushing Day, by Joe Satriani. Flawless one: its melody, its speed, its intensity. I think that's a perfect solo!
Tornado of Souls, by Marty F. (Megadeth): one of a mind-blowing calibre.
Stressfest, by Steve Morse. Sublime solo!

That's one of the greatest bumps I have ever seen. Anyway...



Ranks up there, though it might not be THE best.

I wouldn't call it a face melting solo but the solo by Nightwish's Emppu Vuorinen in Creek Mary's Blood is a beauty.

The whole song has to be listened to though to fully feel it. Gives me goosebumps every time.

This one must not be left aside! This lad is a genius.

There's way to much solos out there.. These are the ones i've been thinking of right now

Atm i can think of Cream(Eric clapton) - Crossroads
I'll never get tired of listening to this one

I guess Steve howe's Mood for a day is a solo too

Deep purple Child in time (Ritchie)(There are so many awesome solos from Deep purple, Ritchie, Jon Lord and Ian paice)

Michael Shrieve's drum solo on Soul sacrifice at woodstock was totally amazing

Jimi Hendrix Machine gun Band of gypsys

And i think one day both Erci clapton's solo on Layla and Steve Hackett's Horizon will make me cry

10. Maggot Brain
09. Shine on You Crazy Diamond
08. Machine Gun
07-03. Maggot Brain
02. Comfortably Numb
01. Maggot Brain

Agreed, although my ATF solo by *anybody* is this version of "The Bash". It starts quietly at about the 40 second mark, then build and builds and BUILDS, then just when it builds to EPIC it hits another gear and blows the whole thing away.
