What is Slash's best recorded solo? Audio and video in your opinion?

[GNRmello77]

Heya, was wondering what everyone's favorite recording of a slash solo is, in and out of Guns N' Roses. I don't mean a solo in a particular song but as a solo spot in the show! For me it probably is the one from the Stoke in Trent show. It feels to me when listening/watching it as if he takes you to a different world, like a warm safe spot full of joy! Anyone else has such a feeling or a different feeling with the same performance or another one? Share your thoughts!

Slashs best solo spot is the blues jam from Argentina 1992.

Axls best solo spot:

There are some mind blowing ones. Anastasia in Sidney 2012 is one of them.

[Nintari]

Back and Forth Again. SCOM is objectively his high-water mark, but man... Back and Forth Again. That solo, along with the chord progression, is like hearing an angel commit suicide. Gut wrenching.

My favorite Slash solos are the ones on the epics/ballads. November Rain, Estranged, Coma, etc. That’s why his Perhaps solo and stuff like TIL/Catcher solos have been so depressing to me, since it should be magical.

And here's more proof that people don't really read the original posts XD

Anastasia, and is a beautiful song too.

[gnrjanus]

I like the solos on Street child from Elan!.

 

Hits you right in the heart

Slash's best solo is SCOM. There's just no contest here. That solo is singable from start to finish, people know each note and sing along every time. We're just kinda sick of it, but it's pure genius. One of the best solos of all time.

Track 10 on Michael Jackson's Dangerous album features the best solo Slash ever committed to tape.

Honestly his solo spot from Japan 92. It was the first video that was widely available in the early 2000s. I downloaded it from Kazaa and have watched it dozens of times. 

[Ralphelmo]

His tone in Tokyo 1992 was incredible, not much fun just by listening tho. I still remember the melody that led to Godfather solo in Made in Stoke.

The Godfather theme from 92 tour.

[El Guapo]

The  whole Godfather thingy Paris 92 would be my answer

[Gold top 78]

Godfather from Tokyo 92 for me that’s what made me go out and buy a Gibson Epiphone gold top. Another one I’ve always loved is the Only Women Bleed intro to KOHD from Paris 92 just so relaxing and enjoyable to listen to

Some of you just don't know how to read...

[MaskingApathy]

I really like the solo spot he started doing in late 2016/early 2017, really cool groove.

[Alejandro GNR]

SCOM, Dont Cry, One in a Million, all Civil War solos, the Garden, Coma, YCBM, Brownstone, NR, DONT DAMN ME, Street Child, Back n Forth...and then Godfather and DTJ Paris 92

I'm a novelist. I know how to read.

I just didn't (and still don't) know what the fuck a "solo spot" meant, so I did the next best thing haha.

[GNRmello77]

Like the different and some of the same answers so far, and indeed people read first :p it's About a solo spot on stage. Tokyo 92 is legendary agree on that, watched it over and over on the good old dvd. I just remember that GN'R posted a video of Slash doing a solo on their FB a couple years back, which was also a real good one. 

[Jadeder]

Coma Chicago 92 was magic from the first time i ever saw it. I never saw a human being achieve this level of mastery over their instrument before. Like you could feel his soul coming through and his emotions through the performance. And he did that every night

To be honest it was the OPs own fault not being specific with that title lol it reads as a different meaning than what he said in the post
