Ady Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 (edited) I have to mention this solo from Trevor "Judge Trev" Thoms who died at 3am this morning from cancer at the age of 60. This was his first band from the late sixties called Iron Maiden (nothing to do with the famous band of the same name). http://www.judgetrev.com/ RIP, Trev.

Jahfin Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 Best guitar solo EVER, maybe even better than the one on the original studio version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SickTangerine Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 (edited) I'll leave out Led Zeppelin and some of the more obvious ones for the sake everyone else has put em FAVES: King Harvest - The Band (it's subtle and it reallly goes with the song, Robbie Robertson's playing is really great to me in studio, it was never "IN YOUR FACE" like other artists, it just went along) Kingdom Come - The Band (again, J.R.R.!) It Makes No Difference - The Band (ok I'll stop) Turn on your Lovelight - Grateful Dead (live) Anything else live by Grateful Dead usually guarantees some great solos. Down by the River - Neil Young Soul Sacrafice - Santana Bat out of Hell - Meat Loaf (Todd Rundgren, I never hear much praise for him) Sweet Lady - Queen (I honestly don't rememebr is there was a solo or not in the song, have not listened in a while, but the guitar always stood out to me) Million Miles Away - Rory Gallagher Cradle Rock - Rory Gallagher Working Man - Rush Heaven and Hell - The Who (Live at Leeds) Born on the Bayou - CCR (It's a really slow solo, but it always stuck out to me stylistically, really swampy sound ) Further on up the Road - Eric Clapton & The Band (Eric is awesome here!) OOH I forgot to add Don't Do It - The Band (live from Rock of Ages) Edited December 9, 2010 by SickTangerine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TypeO Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 I love pretty much every solo on Presence, although ALS and NFBM stand out, and ALS is probably my favorite solo of all, LZ or not. A couple non-Zeppelin that come to mind... Black Sabbath Neon Knights Alice In Chains Man In The Box - I think this one is often overlooked, it's short but very powerful and aggressive. And I know it's not a solo, but from 3:36 to 4:46 on Soundgarden's Jesus Christ Pose may quite possibly be the greatest 70 seconds ever recorded.

leddy Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 Jimmy Page on Achilles last stand Ritchie Blackmore on Burn and Child in Time E V Halen on Beat it plus most Brian may solos, as they are always seem to fit perfectly to to the song.

Electrophile Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 (edited) Love that song -- forgot how much actually, I haven't heard it in a long time. Edited December 26, 2010 by Electrophile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zosodude13 Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Man, its been a long time since I've been here. Anyway, staying on topic Funkadelic- Maggot Brain Haunting, emotional, scary, beautiful... so many adjectives to describe the solo (which is basically the whole song) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TypeO Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 This is one of my newer favorite solos - Dani California by Red Hot Chili Peppers. I think it's a great solo and somewhat unusual as the solo finishes the song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leddy Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Like jake E Lee's bark at the moon solo at the moment, very melodic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TypeO Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 (edited) Also, Rick Derringer from 1977's Derringer Live doing Beyond The Universe Not sure why I love this 30 seconds so much, but it gives me goosebumps every time. I wish it was an entire song. It's approximately 5:35 - 6:05 of the original. What a great fucking album.
