    Some great stuff here.

    My band is gonna work on Lay Low and the guitar interplay during the jam is so simple and cool.

    No Quarter from TSRTS is one of my all time faves.

    The Tool stuff is just executed perfectly and the tone is perfect. I like the 2nd, single note solo in Lateralus. Sounds a bit like the apocalypse.
  • Has anyone heard the Isaac Hayes version of 'The Look of Love'? It's got the most ridiculous guitar solo in it - check it out if you haven't heard it, it's quality!

    Sometimes for me it's not the technical proficiency of the solo, more how in-keeping with the feel of the song. Bearing that in mind, I'd have to say the solo in 'Sweet Child O' Mine' deserves a mention.
    It's gonna be a glorious day...

    dude. you're awesome. the guitar parts in lay low are amazing. i had never heard mmj before having seen them open for pj. but hearing law low performed got me hooked.

    There are probably a lot more, these come to mind immediately.
    Hendrix; Live at Winterland Album: "Red House". Greatest start to a song guitar solo ( IMHO ) ;)
    Like your Blackmore picks. Made in Japan was the first album I ever bought.

    I keep coming back to Kim Thayil's solo in Like Suicide, absolutely sublime.

    Comfortably Numb's is amazing too, and I'm sure some Smashing Pumpkins would feature somewhere in my top ten.

    Wow, when I read the title of this thread, those 2 solos (in that order, Like Suicide and Comfortably Numb) definitely came to mind! Two of my absolute favorites!
  • VINNY GOOMBAVINNY GOOMBA Posts: 1,819
    Oh, and of course MACHINE GUN from the Band of Gypsies album.
  • ace frehleys build up guitar solo in love gun blew my mind the first time i heard it and it still does now.. but i'd have to say that dire straits - sultans of swing is my fav.. oh and the solo in beyond the wheel by soundgarden is awesome as well.

    Stargazer is an absolute masterpiece.....Dio and Blackmore both really bring it on that tune.

    Warren Haynes - Soulshine

    The tone is just huge.

    I haven't, however I'm seeing Mule for the second time (if all goes well!) in a couple weeks, and I'm stoked.

    I'm gonna go out on a limb and say nobody out there today has better tone than Mr. Haynes.
