What are some rock and metal songs with good wah usage in them, like in the solos?

I don't know about good usage, but every Metallica solo in existence contains copious amounts of wah.

probably have no clue what that song is.

Its one of my favorite songs of all time, so telling me "it sucks" doesn't really do much.

Tales of Brave Ulysses

that too :)

There's countless Rage Against the Machine songs that use the wah.

^^ Yeah, Bulls on Parade was the obvious one I thought of.

How does White Room suck? :confused:

If Robert Fripp ever used wah, then it was good wah use.

Pinkch harmonics mixed with alot of wah. He uses the P.H.'s more, but he uses a fair amount of wah in his solos.

Zakk Wylde is possibly the most annoying person in Metal.

Orange Goblin (the band, not the song) uses a lot of wah. Pretty well, too.

If I have to read another article in a guitar magazine about "ZAKK WYLDE'S AWESOME PENTATONIC TECHNIQUE", I'm gonna puke.

There's no such thing as awesome pentatonic technique. Maybe there used to be, but it's since been beaten to a redundant pulp.

If by that you mean Alice in Chain's Dirt I agree. Jerry Cantrell uses a lot of wah but he generally tends to use it tastefully.

Most Pride & Glory songs have excellent wah use. They only made one album, so you really can't miss it.

Rofl @ everyone saying Kirk Hammet.
He said good wah use.
I bought a Wah wah pedal because of Civil War by Guns n Roses. Though I think my favourite use of a wah at the minute is Adrian Smith's solo in Paschendale by Iron Maiden.
