Epic Solo's

[eekfek]

the one and only Jack Butler !!

one of Vai's greatest live performances, jaw-dropping control.

 

[McBain]

Favourite solos would be;

Sabbath - Paranoid
GnR - Sweet Child of Mine
Metallica - One

Might not be technically the most epic, but they're my favs either way.

I've never got this whole "solo" thing, because well they're not really solos are they?

 

[anything I don't mind]

Joe Satriani has some excellent solos. Well some of his albums are just one big solo

 

[The Dread Pirate]

I bet I saw these live at least 20 times in the early 70s.
Thin Lizzy got the idea of twin harmony solo's off them.

Good Man! We need to hear more of them I reckon!

Back to the subject of Solo's Machinme heads Decend the SShades of night 4:13 ->

+anything that gave me cramp on Rock band.

 

[The Dread Pirate]

Fairplay not sure if it qualifies in my opinion but suit yourself... however...

+anything that gave me cramp on Rock band.

I'm not so sure you can use this as a good measure for example Dragonforce Through the fire and the flames will definitely give you cramp trying to play it but I don't find it that epic sure they can solo really really fast but it doesn't sound that great + if they didn't have the guitars there and were making motions like that in public they'd probably be arrested for lewd behavior!

For guitar solos Yngwie Malmsteen deserves a mention

*sigh*

Vai > Malmsteen

 

[zom247]

Rush - La Villa Strangiato.

I just love the playing on that, especially the live at Pink Pop in 79 (I think) recording.

 

[apeksdiver]

Well musical equivalent of tommy tank was mentioned re Malmsteen!

 

[G-MAN2004]

Madison Square Garden 1973. Did Page ever do it better than that? Probably the best solo ever.

So damn good.

 

[SexyGreyFox]

For guitar solos Yngwie Malmsteen deserves a mention

Yes he does but he only has one guitar solo he uses over and over again.
There's a great scene in one of the G3 DVDs where Malmsteen is going off on one and it looks like Vai & Satriani want to shut him up.
Malmsteens best work is when he played with that Czech Orchestra (!).

Some of the top ones have already been mentioned, I'd throw these in there too:

 

[G-MAN2004]

No Frusciante?

It's too obvious these days.

Oh go on then, have a ten minute solo of awesomeness...
