Best Guitar Solos in the World: What do you all think?

Ok everyone, here's what's going on. I'm searching for music to listen to because lately I've been getting really sick of listening to the same formula music over and over again. I'm not talking about a need to go to Indie music.

What I want here is a list of what you all think are some of the BEST songs out there in terms of guitar solos. If you have one with an amazing bass solo or drum solo or keyboard solo or similar, that's ok too. I'm looking for anything from rock, metal, yeah even pop, though I doubt there are many songs to fit that in the Pop music world. I will even consider dipping into classical and country, although classical tends to be inherently mostly amazing solo and group work, instrumentally.

Rules:
- Up to 5 songs that you believe have a simply hair-raisingly amazing solo in them.
- The solo must be at least 30 seconds long, so no "quick cool bridge" songs.
- If someone has already listed your song, try to think of another song.
- No flamewars, no bashing people's taste in music, no opinionated garbage.
- The song may be entirely instrumental, but must have one section which never fails to raise the hair on the back of your neck each time you listen to it.
- One last rule, please no youtube links. I want mp3's I can find on iTunes or a similar store, or a CD I can go out and buy in a small store.

I simply want to know what you all think is some of the most amazing instrumentation you've ever heard. I really want to find some more stuff to check out, to see what is out there. I want you all to give me a small selection each of what I "absolutely need to listen to." I'll start off by listing a few of my own.

1) Pink Floyd - Another Brick in the Wall, Part 2 (Live)
2) Led Zeppelin - Stairway to Heaven
3) U2 - Silver and Gold (Live)
4) Megadeth - Trust
5) Metallica - The Unforgiven

Thanks, and let's all have some fun!

Hey, welcome ...

hello noob...

It hides in your profile.. Never to be seen by others unless they go check it.. Crud really.

Fuk you, thread hijackers. Time for me to go find a forum with mature people in it...

? nah, none of that no more...

iceman? you Chuck Lidell wannabee...

If you watch "Superbad" look in the background when "McLovin" is at the bar, there is Chuck fight on the T.V. I only saw it in theaters and saw it quick so didn't figure out which one it was.

And no...fighting is over for me, I haven't even been to one since the beginning of summer, but may go to the one this weekend.

Noooooo ....

Not yet they haven't but I did just move into a house for the semester...hope it's safe here.

I'll be around, just not like I used to! Gotta go do some work though...my boss gets angry if I obviously do nothing the whole shift

LMAO. Another Nooblet goes bananas. You asked me what I thought. I think you've been Suckin' *** too long, pal. Lighten up.

The best guitar soloist I've ever heard was a guy by the name of Stuart Smith. He used to play at a bohemian cafe that I used to attend in my university days. Interestingly, the dude could actually sing too. I'm sure he has a album or two out by now.

Major bong smoker though. Who isn't right? Well, it was a stoners and feminists cafe, after all, so it should hardly be a surprise to you.

What makes me laugh is most of the goons asking 'wots ur fave toon' questions can't even play an instrument.

Bomber, are you sure you weren't listening to Stewart Smith, your famous classical harpsichordist?

Not unless the dude has long hair, a nose ring, a fully-grown beard and a serious grass addiction.

Disgracefully, or not, I don't even know who this Stewy Smith is. One of ours you say. Let me google that shite...

He's news to me,mate. lol Who the fock is he?

lol

Who's that Smack-Head over your way who's porking that used-to-be-fine model, Kate Moss? He can strum a pretty mean solo set, can't he? Or is that all crap?

That Oasis bloke could too, I'm sure. Gosh I loved their first album.

Yeah, that Paul Weller rings a bell. I don't know why, but the name has sparked one of these booze-drenched brain cells of mine; enough to at least remember hearing something about the bloke. [/memorable]

I take it they're not young, hip, cats?

If a man can't play his tunes loud occasionally then it's pretty sad for us, I'd reckon.

Fock me, they'd hate my guts if I was in your joint playing a mix session then. lol. At least yours is pleasant on the ear for most.

Oh, fock me! LMAO Tom.

Yeah, that changes things a little then. Crikeys. lol

Yeah mate, you have bouts of that, eh? What do you average for sleep per night? A few hours?

I don't do crank, I use it to pay your mum.

I guess the "no snakes" is a plus. lol

With 3.2% beer it's no wonder that Oklahomans are turning to crank.

LMAO. True. Beer battered fish is all that 3% lager is good for.

Oh gosh. As always, D, that truly is a disgraceful thought. lmao.

love it.

Outrageously, the prospect of that deep fried oil cooking along...

LOL. Why can I smell flesh? There's a meaty smell in my nostrils.

The mind plays tricks, even when one only thinks of it, rather than actually smells it.

Shite. I've dug the grave deep enough right there, I think. lol

Whatever happened to Pike anyway?

And who's to argue that a sex party with Margaret Thatcher would be all that bad?

My eyeballs watered through those three sentences. You are the grand master of outrageous remarks, mate. LMAO.

Oh jesus. That will be with me for a week. lol



Crikeys! Did I ever tell you that I was thrilled when you came back? If only for the humour, let alone the sagacious remarks spliced in between.

Whatever your day holds, D, I hope it's all good, mate.

Beginners drug, only used as a chaser between real hits.
