What is the best Guitar solo ever?

[shadyh8er]

There's no such thing as a bad guitar solo. But, if I had to pick some, most of them would be Avenged Sevenfold songs like Bat Country, Beast & the Harlot, and Afterlife.

Oh! And Joe Morello from Rage Against the Machine. He can make a guitar sound like anything. In "Guerilla Radio," I actually thought it was a harmonica when I first heard it.

If a guitar solo should only consist of mind-numbingly fast-paced shredding:

Dragonforce - Through the Fire and Flames (Album Version)


If a guitar solo should contribute something to the song otherwise and create some extra atmosphere in terms of drama etc. the I'll go with

Dream Theater - Hollow Years in the "Live at Budokan" Version. Abso-F'N-lutely brilliant.
