Best guitar solo

[Rooster893]

What is the best guitar solo in any song?

My vote goes to:

Megadeth - Symphony of Destruction

I would add a youtube window, but since I do not know, I will just post a url link:

Post links please!

How about just solo guitar playing?

Search for airtap on youtube and watch it. Also watch drifting by Andy McKee

 

[Ham_authority95]

Jimi Hendrixs' version of "all along the watchtower"

it sounds so sweet.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14qTXRkAKr8

Cliffs of Dover by Eric Johnson

[Altorin]

I honestly doubt the makers of this song could play it like this.

 

[Jammerz]

The solo from Don't Stop Believing. I don't listen to guitar solo-y songs that much

I listen to club anthems mostly...

 

[Berethond]

The best guitar solo of all time is contained in this song.

Sol Niger Within by Frederik Thordendal has some ridiculously awesome solo's
The first minute or so of the first video is the solo. Love how the second guitar is playing in an entirely different time signature during the whole solo.

 

[TheSeventhLoneWolf]

Most things by Iron Maiden. They have good solos.

 

[Arkhangelsk]

Even if not my favorite song (or a band I even like), the solo to Mr. Crowley.

 

[Rooster893]

Jimi Hendrixs' version of "all along the watchtower" had some of the best solos I think I'v seen

(PS this may seem like a noobish question but how do you post links?)

You go to youtube, search for the song that you wish to post, click on the video, copy the url and paste it on here.

Really it's impossible to say, but Iron Maiden - Afraid to Shoot Strangers kicks ass.

 

[Nooners]

Seize the Day by Avenged Sevenfold.

It might not be face-melting, but I love it to death!

 

[Blindrooster]

The ending solo of "i'd love to change the world" by ten years after. though everyone here sounds like metal fans so i doubt yall will like a solo from the 60's. worth listening too tho, it's well done. Also try the intro to He man Woman Hater by Extreme.

 

[Generator]

Other than the fact that this is a very cliche "best solo ever," it really is very good:

Alright, besides the obvious Through The Fire And The Flames and Free Bird [Which I'm surprised no one has said yet,] One by Metallica

Damn you got there before me.

 

[Beartrucci]

Seize the Day by Avenged Sevenfold.

It might not be face-melting, but I love it to death!

I believe that you would like this song, if you haven't heard it yet.

 

[Ophiuchus]

Even if not my favorite song (or a band I even like), the solo to Mr. Crowley.

Thiiiiiiiis. Well, assuming you mean the end solo. The first one doesn't do much for me.
