Re: favorite bands and their best 3 solos
Whole Lotta Love-I was absolutely floored when I first heard this solo. I had been a pop music listening child until this moment. It's been all rock 'n' roll and loud bloozy guitars since then.
Thank You from BBC sessions-It's powerful. Another Brick...part II-I know it's a very popular song but he does a good job with this solo. It's not technically difficult but is well written. Jimi Hendrix Driving South-It's not a solo, but an instrumental jam with the guitar leading the way. Thought I'd include this since it's hard to get, not many people have heard it. I'll have to check out some of the other suggestions.

Re: favorite bands and their best 3 solos
You can't include Stevie Ray and not mention Leave My Girl Alone. The live version from Austin City Limits (?) is incredible. That, The Sky is Crying, and Little Wing are his best in my opinion.

Re: favorite bands and their best 3 solos
There's so many.
Some that come to mind: Hendrix: South Saturn Delta. Made me pull over in my van to listen to it. It's a newer CD that was released. Dokken: The hunter. Mr scary is cool. EVH: One foot out the door. Eddie at his angriest. Randy Rhoads: Crazy Train: No other solo would fit this song. Jake E Lee: Anything off the first badlands album. They all jam. ZZ top: Fool for your stockings: Nice slow groove. Mountain: Theme for an imaginery western. Thin Lizzy: I am just a cowboy Scorpions: 6 string sting Bachman Turner Overdrive: Flatbroke love, Freewheelin', Not fragile Deep Purple: Highway Star + many others. James Gang: Stop Rush: Workin' man, Passage to bangkok Satch: Summer song Too many others to list. There's a ton of 70s guitar rock that just jams. Honorable mention because I can't remember the names of the tunes: Blue Oyster Cult (buck dharma) <Im not thinking of don't fear the reaper, but other tunes> b Edit: Almost forgot. One of the best 12 string solos I ever saw/heard was Stevie Ray Vaughn. I think it was an MTV special or something. I've yet to see anyone play a 12 string like that since. It was just him on a stool, burning the frets off the neck.

Stevie Ray - Little Wing [/ QUOTE ] This is my favorite guitar based song. I tried to learn it one time, and after a couple hours I said "F THAT". Also, any old punks might remember a band called Scatterbrain doing their version of Sonata #3, which was pretty fun to listen to.

I don't know how you can mention two songs from Delicate Sound of Thunder and not have one of them be Comfortably Numb. That is probably the best solo I've ever heard. It kicks the crap out of the one on Pulse. NH on mentioning Thank You from BBC Sessions though...awesome [/ QUOTE ] i don't own the album, so I've just listend to a coworkers copy. i'll see if he's got that mp3 around somewhere...i'm sure its amazing...thx for the reminder... listening now.....yeah....damn f'ing good....

i hate buckethead.i haven't actually heard any of his stuff, but still, i hate him, for the sheer cheek of stealing slash's spot. and then (i hear) not doing a very good job of it! the fool! it's like sacralidge. [/ QUOTE ] hahaha...he's definitely no replacement for slash, but he's an incredible guitarist in his own right... the fact that they chose him over so many others to even try and fill slash's shoes means something...you should definitely check him out tho, he's got a wide range of great stuff...i have a video of him playing the solo on night train, and no its not slash, but its still pretty cool....
