Gibson87 Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 (edited) My 'Top 10 debut albums' video never materialized and now I'm doing a fun little project until I find a better idea. So, I'm looking for Slash's best solos. I have part one on YouTube already. PART 1 SOLOS -Both Estranged Solos -Don't Cry -The Last Fight (1st solo between verses) -Nightrain (1st solo) -Jungle (2nd solo) -Ghost -YCBM -SCOM (obviously) -Yesterdays -Anastasia (1st solo) -Dead Horse -Patience Edited September 16, 2017 by Gibson_Guy87 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soon Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Very cool! Really enjoyed that. All of his solos are incredible, but imo Last Fight isn't a standout. If you do another Id vote for: - The second solo in Back and Forth Again from Its Five O'clock Somewhere - Sucker Train Blues from Contraband - Dont Damn Me 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Bird Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 I'm wondering why there isn't the second Nightrain solo listed... Back and Forth Again should be definitely up there. Crucify The Dead, Halo, some of WOF as well as some of his Guest Appearances like "Where You Belong" from the Carmine Appice' Guitar Zeus, Fields of Joy (Lenny Kravitz), his two solos on Pawnshop Guitars or onTeddy Zigzag's Shotgun Shack. Top 10 list does't do Slash justice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MyPrettyTiedUpMichelle Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 I know the solo in Back to the Moment isn't quite 'worthy' of inclusion but I feel compelled to give it a shout out because while it's on the short side and it's not complicated or busy, it's FULL of feeling. I happen to think it's one of his most 'feeling all the feels' solos. It's like a brief spasm of pain. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That one, and Back And Forth Again are very feely solos. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMAC20 Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Can any of the tech savvy fans we have on here make a SLASH solo complication - just Slash solos as 1 song - I have DIMEBAG DARRELLS someone made and I rip to it all the time , I don't have the knowledge to do it , any help would be welcomed , I got the DIMES off youtube it was called top 30 solos from DIME Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Bird Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Top 30 is the least you can make by the account of great solos he did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think his solo on Elan's song Street Child shouldn't be missing in any list, it's just perfect Other killer solos (some already mentioned) would be Serial Killer, You Got No Right, Dime Store Rock, Messages, Back To The Moment, Back And Forth Again, American Man, Dirty Little Thing (), Loving The Alien, We Will Roam, Starlight, I Hate Everybody But You, Bad Apples, Vengeance Is Mine, Mother Maria, By The Sword...

Well shit... now I'm gonna make a part 3! I'd add 'The Unholy' to your list too.

Ralphelmo Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 (edited) Solo in "Mother Maria" (damn this fingerpicking <3) is a great example in which direction Slash sometimes should go. Less noodlin', more emotions and particular choice of notes. "Far and Away" is great too, I also like those guitar fills that Myles does. I love "The Dissident" and "Stone Blind" solos, very characteristic. No one mentioned "Give in To Me" and "I Hold On" yet? o_O Edited December 9, 2017 by Ralphelmo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToonGuns Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 I always liked the work he did at the end of Sympathy for the Devil. Serial Killer is amazing. Love Don't Damn Me also. Also Give in to Me, Vengeance is Mine, Street Child, Le Freak (live with Chic- not joking!)... So many to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serpens Albus Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 I really like the "You Could Be Mine" or whoever plays the solo on that. Correct me if I am wrong, but Slash plays all the guitar solos in the early albums, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom-Ass Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 I haven't seen anyone mention "You Got No Right" but I always thought that was a great solo.. You could easily have a Slash top 100 solos if you wanted to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A top 100 would make more sense than a top 10 by the amount of great solos he has written. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
