misch Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 (edited) As much as I love Slashs' Solos in November Rain or Estranged, I have to say that the most outstanding guitar solos were written by Pink Floyd. Just look at the Solo in Comfortably Numb, it's just perfect.Here's a list of the top 100 guitar solos ever voted by readers of the magazine Guitar World:http://guitar.about.com/library/bl100greatest.htmSo, which is your favorite guitar solo in a rock song?

Sweet Raptured Light Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 I belive the greatest guitar solo ever is the one that melts your face off and makes your ears bleed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pain cake Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 I always hated those lists ^ they're all exactly the same. My favourite solos to listen to are Pearl Jam: Alive, Pearl Jam: Why Go, Led Zeppelin: Tangerine (That tone is fucking perfect), Guns N' Roses: Rocket Queen Outtro, The Strokes: The Modern Age.And I could name a million solos I think are better than Stairway to Heaven and All along the Watchtower etc from a technical standpoint, and those I stated are my favourite on just a listen. Also I think Another Brick in the Wall has a much better constructed solo than Comftorably Numb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New Rose Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 I'm with you on this one, Comfortably Numb is the best ever. Hotel California's solo is also fucking sweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoon87 Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Not the best out there, but one that always gets me is the "Make me cry"-Solo in Pearl Jams "Yellow Ledbetter". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Ohdistortedsmile1789 Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 "Comfortably Numb" really is great. I like it better than "Stairway to Heaven" and "Hotel California". I don't really care to dig deep and think about this topic much. "Californication" is about perfect though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChineseDemocracy2004 Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 I've got too many favourites to mentionLayla and Comfortably Numb, live the solos there are intense.At the moment i can't stop listening to comfortably numb from the pulse cd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADPT Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Few of my favourites:Morello's solo from 'Like A Stone' by Audioslave'Comfortably Numb' and the outro to 'Brick In The Wall: Part 2' by Pink FloydThe solo in the middle of 'Orion' by Metallica, before it reprises the heavy riff from the first part of the song'Cortez the Killer' by Neil Young Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
