Electrophile Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 http://www.music-news.com/shownews.asp?H=20-greatest-guitar-solos-named&nItemID=40650 Personally I can't stand that song (most of you know that), so I don't care about its placement, although I'm sure most of you here will bitch about it, but the most egregious thing on this list is the song that came in at #1. Blackbird, not by The Beatles but by Alter Bridge, who were essentially Creed cast-offs. I don't know how the hell they got voted higher than David Gilmour, Joe Walsh, Jimi Hendrix, Mark Knopfler or Jimmy Page, but I'm sure it's a funny story. The final list (18 of 20 are by veteran artists): 1.Blackbird - Alter Bridge (Mark Tremonti & Myles Kennedy) 2.Eruption - Van Halen (Eddie Van Halen) 3.Sweet Child O' Mine - Guns N' Roses (Slash) 4.November Rain - Guns N' Roses (Slash) 5.Comfortably Numb - Pink Floyd (Pulse: Live) (David Gilmour) 6.Hollow Years - Dream Theater (Live at Budokan) (John Petrucci) 7.Under a Glass Moon - Dream Theater (John Petrucci) 8.Stairway to Heaven - Led Zeppelin (Jimmy Page) 9.Free Bird - Lynyrd Skynyrd (Gary Rossington & Allen Collins) 10.Tornado of Souls - Megadeth (Marty Friedman) 11.Voodoo Child (Slight Return) - Jimi Hendrix 12.For the Love of God - Steve Vai 13.All Along the Watchtower - Jimi Hendrix 14.Hotel California - Eagles (Joe Walsh & Don Felder) 15.Sultans of Swing - Dire Straits (Mark Knopfler) 16.Since I've Been Loving You So Long - Led Zeppelin (Jimmy Page) 17.Still Got the Blues For You - Gary Moore 18.Beat It - Michael Jackson (Eddie Van Halen) 19.Motorcycle Emptiness - Manic Street Preachers (James Dean Bradfield) 20.Aqualung - Jethro Tull (Martin Barre) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jahfin Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 What is Since I've Been Lovin You So Long??!?! It was supposed to be "Since I've Been Lovin' You Long Time", a mashup of "Since I've Been Loving You" and "Me So Horny". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonzo69 Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 It's Since I've Been Loving You, but the idiots there gave the wrong name to this song. I know what it was supposed to be...it was more me mocking the idiots who did it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
