Guitar solos

[Frutos]

Honourable mention has to go to the legendary "Motorcycle Guitar" as played by Todd Rundgren in the middle of Meat Loaf's "Bat Out Of Hell".

 

[Bob!]

Brighton Rock - Brian May

 

[METALMICKY]

Metallica - Enter Sandman

Derek & the Dominos - Layla

Are you getting your solos mixed up with your riffs?

Enter Sandman is one of the greatest rock riffs but the solo is nothing special

 

[Exmouth Seagull]

Elton John - I'm Still Standing

Michael Jackson - Beat It (Eddie Van Halen? )

 

[Albion Edd]

Stone Roses - I am The Resurecction
Oasis - Live Forever
Guns n' Roses - Paradise City

 

[C1 BHA]

Dire Straits....Sultans of Swing on Alchemy.....makes the hairs on my neck stand up EVERY time I hear it

 

[Dave the OAP]

not that you would expect them to, but The Isley Brothers, Summer Breeze/ who's that lady is possibly my favourite guitar solo of all time. Freebird is excellent and of course many of Santana's stuff, athough technically all his stuff is guitar solo's....a special mention to Europa

Driving South by The Stone Roses...I know this is from the second album with John Squire being rather narcisstic with the rock guitar solo's but he sounds damn cool on that track.

Albion, England & Stone Roses forever.

[METALMICKY]

Michael Jackson - Beat It (Eddie Van Halen? )

Good call! Most non rock fans will not have heard his other landmark solo on Eruption. However for a main stream pop record this was a landmark solo with some sweet two handed tapping and whammy bar action.


Seeing as people on this thrad are definitely mixing up guitar riffs with guitar solos, can i list my Top 5 riffs:

1) The Trooper -Iron Maiden- Main riff between verses
2) Sad But True- Metallica
3) Smells Like Teen Spirit-Nirvana
4) Princess of the Night -Saxon
5) Dont Fear the Reaper - Blue Oyster Cult

not that you would expect them to, but The Isley Brothers, Summer Breeze/ who's that lady is possibly my favourite guitar solo of all time.

 

[Pevenseagull]

here's one I made earlier:

Ernie Isley SPANKING his plank in "Summer Breeze" is pretty damn special

 

[Charles 'Charley' Charles]

Forgot GNR wiith Estranged

 

[Brightonfan1983]

Unbelievable, OLGA's offline dealing with 'legal issues' - bloody lawyers.
