Let me clarify -
Yes, of course I know that most songs don't have guitar solos. But, as a guitarist, I like guitar solo's.
Also, just to be clear, I love the song just how it is. It is a classic rock staple, with or without a guitar solo.
However, when I say guitar solo, I don't mean putting in a Stairway solo - that would just kill the song. Have you ever listened to the song by Rainbow called Stargazer? Listen to that guitar solo. It fits into the song perfectly. To me, I see similarites between the song. And I was thinking, whoah, what if that was in Kashmir? Giving the song a solo kind of like that could've/would've been cool. Of course, there's no going back onto it. It is an AMAZING song.
( - unlike most other people, I think I would put Kashmir at at Number 7 for best LZ songs - controversial I know 😏
Anyways...
