Greatest Guitar Solos?

[~Hilton~]

Stairway to heaven.

Also, a lot of moe. songs have some sweet solo's.

So you hate one of the things the guitar is famous for and one that is used so often yet you play the guitar? Guitar solos are used in practically every rock song :S

Exactly, maybe he thinks they're overused. Just guessing, but I think they are.

I know.. but I was including all of the types of guitar "solos" within the topic

I quite like Dragonforce. I know they're overrated/crap/whatever else you want to say about them, but for a person like myself who often indulges in fantasy, there's nothing quite like a bit of questing music to get you going off into your own world

That said, I have to agree with YoManGo about the general nature of solos.. a quick one that simply follows the main tune is fine, but unless you're making entire songs with solos (like Dragonforce) then they get boring. I'd far rather listen to a 2 minute Misfits song with a solo that lasts 20 seconds tops than a 6 minute LedZep song with a 3 minute solo.

Also, I really don't like GnR ^^

Have you ever played it?

It is the best game ever because it makes you feel like you are actually rocking out.
