What's your most MEMORABLE guitar solo? Mine would probably be the one in Atreyu's Ex's and Oh's. It's not one of the best ones but it was the first Atreyu song I heard and one of the songs which changed Atreyu. It also was probably the most brilliant solo Dan Jacobs and Travis Miguel had probably ever done because the new solos don't have as much meaning. Anyway the point is it's up at the top on my list.
Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb I think that song was voted the best guitar solo of all time, in some publication. Not really the best from a technical standpoint, but it is memorable. There's about a million more good ones, but I'm drawing a blank right now, haha.
The only one that comes to mind for me right now is, Atreyu's The Remembrance Ballad. That one solo is one of my favorites.
1) DEEP PURPLE- Smoke on the Water 2) TOOL- Jambi 3) DREAM THEATER- Constant Motion 4) LINKIN PARK- One Step Closer
Tool-Parabola Queens of the stone age-little sister Muse-New Born That's off the top of my head...I'll probably think of more later.
Uhhh.....Freebird? Duh! Muse's Knights Of Cydonia, Stockholm Syndrome and Invincible. Deep Purple's "Highway Star", Matchbook Romance's "Monsters" and "You Can Run But We'll Find You".
LET'S GO CRAZY - PRINCE The best, and most memorable guitar solo of ALL time. Also, the one in Purple Rain is good.
Guns 'N' Roses - November Rain Pantera - Cowboys From Hell Cream - Sunshine Of Your Love and, sticking my head out... My Chemical Romance - I'm Not Okay (I Promise) : Not the best from a technical standpoint, but it really sticks with me for some reason. There's a hell of a lot more, but they're escaping me at the moment.
One of the first guitar solos I really loved was by Dave Navarro on the Jane's Addiction track 'Three Days.' I don't wanna bore you with the full song, so here's a video of part of the solo played by some kid. Pretty damn accurate though. [youtube]A5wWy_AIvjI[/youtube]
