I was watching a free concert at my college and someone played a cover of incubus - drive. the guitarist gave up on his "solo" after his first four notes were all off key.
The only time I have seen anything worse is when a guy was asked to do some improvisation over someone elses song in a gcse concert (15-16 year olds) his guitar was completely out of tune, but he carried on playing all the way through the song.. it was horiffic.

im talking about his overall tone, not only his guitar tone, amp tone as well, of course hes going to have good tone because he's using thousands of dollars in equipment.

For example, if you take every single exact piece of equipment say Joe Satriani has or John Petrucci, you will not have their same tone at all. Like I said, if you think you have an arguement, gladly take it to the guitar forum...

i agree that a lot of the tone comes out of how you play the interest, but most of it is by what equipment you are using and how you set it up
but nevermind because this argument is going nowhere, i do get what you are saying though

The solo in The thing that should not be of Metallica's Master of Puppets, it's not the worst, but it's a very weak solo that has a over use of the whammy bar randomally through out the whole section. Nothing special compaired to the other tracks on the album.

***Prepares self for Tar and Feathers and live execution on the stake***
No, jk...ofcourse that is the solo of solos... :thumb:
Worst solo IMO is Smells Like Teen Spirit :upset: (A solo isn't all about the guitar just singing the lyrics, it has to be original and thoughtful)
Lou Reed's 'Metal Machine Music'. But that was meant to be.
And I happen to think most Pantera and Slayer solos suck, but that's just me. I wouldn't say they're the worst, but they're close.
I'd also consider a lot of Yngwie's stuff for Worst Solo Ever.
audioslave-shadow on the sun. and all the other songs that morello overdoes the effects on.
I agree with that totally. The second solo on Wake Up would be the worst offender for me. That, and Show Me How To Live.
Edit: Having said that, I love Shadow On The Sun, and think it's possibly Morello's best solo.

Tom Morello is good at soloing. You can't just think about what a solo sounds like. You have got to think about originality and how long he must have spent getting the synthesised bits right sounding. You try replicating the solo for Bulls On Parade or Sleep now in The Fire and i bet you wouldn't be able to do it.

Actually, yes, you CAN just think about what a solo sounds like. That's all that matters. He can spend all the time he wants thinking of stuff no-one's done before, but if it sounds like ****, I don't wanna hear it.
And, I don't know if you're aware of this - you actually picked two of his easiest solos as examples.

Who the **** cares if he goes all out on effects? I don't here people bitching about Van Halen doing Eruption when the solo/song is most pointless solo i have ever heard. Just because someone wants to try to make something unique, different and unorthadox doesn't mean it is bad. I don't see people bitch about the vocals for Primus when ever they talk about them (horrible, horrible vocals).
I thought the Shadows of the sun solo was out of place when i first listened to it, but after a while it grew on me, and more time past and is now one of the best solos (IMO) off of Audioslave's s-t.
PLus there are plenty of horrible solos out there to be mentioned. I.E. Fred Durst's solo.

Tom Morello has a lot of good solos, but most of them are just a bunch of effects wankery. Still, he's a lot better at it than Adam Jones or Johnny Greenwood. But let me clarify that all three of those non-traditional guitarists can make some good solos, but they have also made their share of stinkers.
And as far as Nirvana goes, "Heart Shaped Box" and "In Bloom" contain far worse solos than "Smells Like Teen Spirit," but that one is still horrible as well.

There are many bad solos out there, and many amazing ones, but some solos arent meant for some songs, and you cant say that a perfectly good solo that is amazing like the beat it solo is crap just because it dosent fit, i thought it fit perfectly well, and that was an amazing solo. and whoever said free bird and metallica's enter sandman were bad...you seriously need some help.

11-12-2004, 02:47 PM
You're right in saying that Kurt's solos fit Nirvana's music, because they are both really lame. I can respect Nirvana for changing the face of music, but I can't really say that the ends justify the means when they decided to stretch the limits of "good" music.
80smetalkicksass
11-12-2004, 02:52 PM
Yeah im not a big nirvana fan i respect them for changing it as well, but i was fine with the classic rock and 80s metal we had going! I just think the solos fit, and thats pretty much it solos dont have to be extreme shredding all the time to be good...although they sound better that way to me :)

Everyone needs to shut the F*** up about Tom Morello. His name does not even BELONG in this post. Think about it: he's gotten guitarist of the year at least 3 times. He started at around the same time as Tool, and formed Rage Against the Machine, a band that, even though they have since broken up, revolutionized the rock genre. The solos he chooses to construct for his songs fit with the flow of the song. Morello knows how to make his guitar pierce right into the soul, and he can pry out the deepest of emotions. His work with Audioslave only cements that theory, in that he can work around the amazing voice talent of Chris Cornell, and play solos that invoke sadness and loneliness, rather than his style with Rage, which was basically fight music.
Tom Morello is one of the best guitarists out there, and he could shred any of you f***ers in half if he wanted to. He chooses to use effects and different guitar techniques, and i choose to faithfully listen to them.
As far as the worst goes, i wouldn't know, because i don't listen to bands that suck. If i hear a song that sucks, i either tune it out or turn it off before it gets to the solo.
you people need to stop bashing professional guitarists, get a life, and learn to play yourselves. jealous f***s. get off your duff and prove me wrong if you think i am. make sure that if you're good enough to bash a professional musician, you're good enough and motivated enough to back it up.

well i wasnt saying we was bad, in fact hes fukin awesome, and he can do great solos (take the power back/settle for nothing/darkness) but sometimes he, quite frankly, makes some real boring solos, especially on audioslaves cd, whether he has effects or not makes no difference, some solos are cool and some others are crap, its no biggie, hes good anyway

I dunno. Most guitarists brave enough to venture out on a solo have the talent to make it sound good. However, I do think that a lot of the so-called solos on slipknot's new album are a load of crap(meaning they are purely for show, not emotion or skill), and the solo in Breaking Benjmain's "so cold" has a sour note in it towards the end.
A lot of Dimebag darrell's solos are a pure slew of harmonics and whammy bar abuse---don't get me wrong, I love dimebag, but some of the stuff gets irritating after awhile. My lead guitarist in my band worships dimebag, and plays his sh!t constantly, and it just gives you a headache after a while--a nonstop regiment of pinch harmonics gets old.

No, every version of it sucks.
And there's a song by Bad Company, i'm not sure if it's Rock and Roll Fantasy or not, but the solo in it is very sloppy and...bad.

the new green day song solo, "american idiot" i think. it just sounded like power chords with distortion and the wah wah paddle. either way, its a piece of crap and i've heard my little cousin rip better solo's (which isn't saying much)

hmm well you may say that "hit the lights" and "ride the lightning" solos suck...but just think...those were when metallica just started...you can't expect their initial stuff to be THAT good can you...
dude......... i understand you're entitled to ur own opinion, but WUT THE ****??? RTL is an awesome solo by Mustaine.... it has a good tone to it, its nice and fast, and even slow at parts.... there are MANY other songs (metallica or not) you could have said instead of RTL. Sure its not #1, but doesn't mean its at the bottom either. I would be impresed if you could play the beginning of that song (even though its tapping, its very hard to get it exactly right). besides, that song has the coolest intro, you DO NOT mess with that song. Diss st.anger all you want tho. Or blink 182, they deserve it more.

as for worst solo...i would say the solo in What Were All About (is that the title) by Sum 41. is it kerry king who is playing? its just a bunch of feedback and noise. no skill needed.
haha ya i heard that and first thing i did was turn it off. Thats a disgusting solo and even deryck is better than him. Anybody can play fast random notes (no pattern between chromatic or anything) at the recording and try and passing it off as a "hard" solo. i'd give him props if he played it exactly as the recording live anytime. Not that its too hard, I just think he fluked a bunch of notes on the spot.

they've been around since the 80's, yeah billie joe can't play a good solo, look at the stuff hes written, hes saved that band, if he couldn't write the way he does, he'd be nowhere, but he writes good stuff and hes been able to for 15 years, so don't criticize him, i wanna see you write 15 songs a year for 15 years, and your band be successful, go put that in the pop-punk forums, see what they have to say about it, and dont bitch around saying theres no talent there, listen to Jesus of Suburbia, you'll figure it out
and who do you listen to?
and worst solo- neil young's one note solo
i listen to extol, and other stuff you haven't heard of
they use the same chords over and over in different transitions
yeah good for him, he "saved" the band...i know of them well...so don't give me song titles, if anything the drummer is the only member that is fairly skilled
and i will write, and you will see, he can't write a good lick if his life depended on it
P.S. i wouldn't be caught dead in pop punk forum

Just about all Nirvana solos, and of course the classic Fred Durst solo where he butchered his way to the top of the fret board and back and seemed to actually think he was good.
Kurt never thought he was good. He prolly knew he wasnt all that good. He didnt care what everyone else thought. If he liked it, it was good enough. And it was a good thing that he never tried to do some hendrix solo...they would never fit the songs. and for the people that said he couldnt play guitar to save himself...look at where he was...and look at where you are....he must of been decent. huh?

Umm..no sir. There are tons of wayyy more talented bands/people that will never be as popular as Nirvana. If you were walking down the street, and asked any random person who they thought was more famous, Nirvana or Joe Satriani, they would say Nirvana, I can almost gauruntee it.

Jet- Are u going to be my girl. Only like 3 notes. heh.
Some punk bands do have pretty good solos.......on the bass. But other than that, they just tremelo pick the root notes of the chords they play.
Agreed with everything but last part. Some punk bands do have good guitar solos and bass solos. Listen to the song Pull My Strings by Dead Kennedys and tell me punk bands dont have good solos. Also Bad Religion does some good solos.

hmmm worst solo.....anything by greenday,nirvana or any punk band for that matter....seriously all punk solos are is the vocals....and they are unoriginal. Totally my oponion...but i believe guitar solos should be expression an emotion (anger, sadness etc.) not just repeating vocals.. seriously.. :smoke: :smoke:
Listen to Sum 41's new CD, then go die

**** you DigitalBoy for that remark on Smoke On The Waters solo. I'd like to see you in a million years even ****ing TOUCH Ritchie Blackmore's skills. He could ****ing play circles around you with his feet. Sure, theres better solo's out there from him like the Difficult to Cure solo or Highway Star, but it's still better than anything Jimmy Page ever did (****ing sloppy *** prick he is)

Please listen to one of Alex Lifeson's solos and say that again please.

i would say lucky more than decent
although nirvana is pretty good, you have to admit the talent in that band was in dave grohl.
kurt was extremely original in all of his songs, and not many of them song alike, but a decent player could learn any one of his songs in a matter of minutes. not that im any better or worse than he is or that any of the **** i write sounds better than his (they dont, trust me) but you have to admit his songs arent terribly hard or complicated to play (including his solos)
he may have been an extremely talented player, but none of it showed through in his songs

Dream Theater has some greats, like "Under A Glass Moon", but also some of the most atrocious solos this side of Slayer.
I promise you that "Stream of Conciousness" will have the worst electric guitar solo you've ever heard.. until you hear "In the Name of God".
What in the name of God what was he thinking..? "Oh, this will be a clever and tasteful melody that's appropriate for the song." Obviously not. Perhaps it was more like, "Gotta show them how skilled I am.. gotta show them how skilled I am.."
Either way, it turned out to be the least musical thing any of us will ever hear.
