Pete Townsend's solo on "My Generation" from Live at Leeds. Nothing soars like it and is easy to play air guitar along with! Then there's Alvin Lee and 10 Years After doing "I'm Going Home" from the Woodstock album!

Good Thread...There are too many I cannot decide on one. Some of my favorites are:
I'm Goin' Home(Live at woodstock) - Ten Years After
Machine Gun(Live at Fillmore) - Jimi Hendrix
Free Bird(c'mon how has this not been mentioned yet) - Lynyrd Skynyrd
Master of Puppets/Sanitarium/Call of Ktulu/etc./etc/etc. - Metallica
I Feel Like Breaking Up Somebody's Home - Albert King
Texas Flood(Live) - SRV
Turn on Your Love Light(live at Fillmore) - The Grateful Dead
The Thrill Is Gone - B.B. King
After Hours - Roy Buchanan
Eruption - Van Whalen
Moby Dick(Live) - Led Zeppelin
Since I've Been Loving You - Led Zeppelin
Anthropology - Charlier Parker
Black Mountain Rag - The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band
Foggy Mountain Breakdown - Earl Scruggs

Just a few off the top of the dome, if I remember anymore I'll put it down.


To the above poster, look up Victor Wooten or Bela Fleck and the Flecktones. VW is awesome, nobody is in the same building as this guy. I love Cliff, but he can't hold a candle to VW's bass playing.

[dejayou30]

I think Victor Wooten and Cliff Burton of Metallica are kind of in different leagues. While both are amazing, I'm sure comparing their styles against each other would be hard, because who's to say Victor Wooten is a better heavy metal bassist, while Wooten can pull off more technical manuevers? Victor Wooten is like a prodigy bass player. Its not really fair to compare anyone to him except other virtuosos, which, while I'm sure Burton is good, I doubt he is at a virtuoso level like Wooten.

[yoda]

slash - sweet child o' mine
kirk hammet - enter sandman, until it sleeps

It was mentioned twice already.

[too as in also]

the entire live version of shine on you crazy diamond is pretty orgasmic while stoned.:rasta:

[mrdevious]

Iron Maiden deserves considerably more mention, being one of the great masters of solo's.

Paschendale's solo will blow your mind. Get good and high (on whatever tickles your fancy), put on the headphones, turn up the volume, and trip balls.

Not to mention their solo's are amazing from Fear Of The Dark, Dance Of Death, Blood Brothers (LOVE that guitar style, wish I could find more of it), Number Of The Beast, Hallowed Be Thy Name, and the Clansman (the live version is the real version in my opinion, I think Blaze Bailey was a terrible singer for them). I could go on and on with Maiden stuff. :D


Anywhoo, I'll also say there's some great solo's from:

Metallica: Fade To Black, Master of Puppets, One, and Bleeding Me. I know a lot of people hate the load era stuff, but I realized lately that a lot of people do because they don't really understand/appreciate metal's roots. I'm personally very happy that they gave us a couple Rock 'n Roll albums, I love it. Oddly enough, I find the Black Album is my least favorite and overall bores me.

Motorhead: Overkill (OMG those 3 solo's are mindblowing), Love Me Forever, Whorehouse Blues, Walk A Crooked Mile.

Slayer: Silent Scream

Pink Floyd: Goodby Blues Sky

Most live material from Jimi Hendrix. A lot of people listen to a couple albums and say "hendrix bores me, I don't see the big deal". They don't see it because Hendrix was never about his albums, his albums were just made to set a base formula for him to blow our minds in concert.

ooo

I'm the first to post:

Pantera - Planet Caravan

[2600HERTZ]

That's because Pantera qualifies as a horrible band, I am not even sure that is subjective.

[LIP]

2 minutes to midnight by iron maiden

For some reason that solo gets me in the mood to drive really fast everytime i hear it.. and i love to listen to it stoned as well. I tabbed it all out.

[SpeX125]

I've been a shreddergeek,since the mid 80's.A list of my favorites,would take all night.
But,off the top of my head...

"Far Beyond the Sun" - Yngwie Malmsteen. That whole piece is a solo.
"Surfing With the Alien" - Joe Satriani
"Big Trouble" - David Lee Roth(Steve Vai on guitar)
"Ice Cream Man" - Van Halen
"Walk This Way" - Aerosmith
"Mr Crowley" - Ozzy

Man,I could go on and on...

[2600HERTZ]

String Cheese is pretty fuckin' good.

[LIP]

Victor Wooten and Reggie Wooten are seriously great.

Vic is probably the best bass player in the world at this time, i doubt anyone can outdo him. There might be a few people who are very good, but not quite as good as him.

[Synthesizer Man]

Billy Currie is a fucking legend.

He played the viola solo on Ultravox's Astradyne.

And also the synth solo on the live version of Gary Numan's cover of "On Broadway" is pretty amazing as well. That version is available on the Pleasure Principle album.

[Nochowderforyou]

Floods by Pantera. :thumbsup: Truely amazing.

[Ae...]

all about the variety but maggot brain is one trippy ass ten minute solo that i love
Yes! Yes!
