really? that's not even Dime's best solo

It'd be a tough debate for Dimebag's best solo... I'd say either Walk or Domination.

Sure...Hostile may not have beed the best solo he ever did but, aside from just throwing a name out there, I was considering overall song quality. It's just such an air-tight song, ripped through the solo masterfully and then back out again... awesome. New school has some great stuff out there too... The Human Abstract anyone?

The Human Abstract is a great band

A Violent Strike is a sick song

Indeed.

It was hard to give an example of just one of their songs...

It's hard for Unrelenting at least, who named a song off the tripe that is Midheaven. Best solo for them is between Harbinger and Crossing the Rubicon.

In the Led Zep album "How the West was Won" the solo from Immigrant Song is pretty blistering. Most of Page's stuff is.

Adding to that I'd say Steve Winwood when he's in a rock mood on some track like Dear Mr Fantasy goes down well

Wet Sand by the Chil Peppers solo is fantastic Frusciante at his best

For sure man. That's a f*#kin rough one...

Crossing the Rubicon. There, I said it.

If you like their guitar work (not really a vocal similarity) then maybe check out All Shall Parish. Try the Metal Battle if you haven't already... I think that's one of the coolest things on here right now.. most interactive at least.
