dazedcat Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 "Machine Gun" is on the professional list...although it is too low at #29. Yes it was, I missed it. Sorry about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geezer Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Crossroads and Machine Gun are two greatest live solos and they deserve a higher mention. No Quarter and STH from TSRTS are missing though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stryder1978 Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 ..I would include the dueling guitar solo from Thin Lizzy's "Emerald" (Scott Gorham, Brian Downey). Also Deep Purple's "Burn" (Ritchie Blackmore). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geezer Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 But you guys have missed a solo that deserves to be in the top 5 - "Maggot Brain" by Eddie Hazel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little Robert Anthony II Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 (edited) I would've added these: 1) Ten Years Gone - one of Jimmy's finest imo. I'm with you on this one. Not just the solo itself, but the chord structure underneath it is really beautiful, some of the most beautiful music in rock history. Very underrated, indeed.

FireOpal Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 This made me laugh really hard for some reason. Maybe it's the fact that I know exactly what you are talking about with EVH. Even though I like his work, he is a little over-worshiped in my opinion. I enjoy listening to him play as well, but I often recall David Lee Roth's (in)famous comment that "Eddie has been playing the same solo for 11 years" - now it would be something like 31 years. What a solo it is though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LedZeppfan77 Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 I think Aqualung by Tull should be here. Wow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TashaZoso16 Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 I'm just happy that the list wasn't compiled by Rolling Stone magazine. Agreed on that one! :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sagittarius Rising Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 I just happen to think either Tea for One or I'am Gonna Crawl have the absolute greatest blues solos of all time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
