Favourite Solo

[repcak]

Everyone has his favourite band, album and songs... but how many of you have a favourite solo?! :)

My Top (and only) 3: (in no order)

Kalmah - The Blind Leader
Origin - Wrath of Vishnu
Cephalic Carnage - Dying Will be the Death for me


Though Kalmahs solo is "just" a shredfest i get goosebumps everytime i hear it... for me the solo is more of a "tale", rather than just notes.
Cephalic Carnages solo is just sick and progressive... its so beautiful with so many ideas.
Origins solo is fantastic and contrary to the whole song - suddenly you have the first few notes of the solo after such a brutal and fast song... goddamn it... its great :D

anything from Necrophagist

[Chu]

The main solo for Lines in The Sand is beyond epic in my mind, I love it :)

From the moment it kicks in, it's completely amazing to me, and seeing it Live made it so much better, heh.

[FatalEnergy]

Nothing amazing flashy or complex, but I've always loved this solo.

It starts at 2:56

[blueyxd]

Atheist - Earth (the run starting at 3:10)

[marcus_in_absentia]

Porcupine Tree's Deadwing solo.

[Concubine]

Raining Blood

[Stevie II]

This thread is actually illegal :o!
Solos rarely do it for me, but perhaps Nothing Else Matters or Fade to Black, or some Blood Fire Death solos.
Also Frank Zappa's Watermelon In East Hay

[Ventriloquist]

Top three

-Pink Floyd - Shine on you Crazy Diamon Pt.1 (Intro Solo)
-Dream Theater - Peruvian Skies solo
-And again... Pink Floyd - Time solo

[blueyxd]

Porcupine Tree's Deadwing solo.
That's the other one I was trying to think of.

edit: actually, no it's not. I meant the one in Arriving Somewhere But Not Here

[Apocalyptic Raids]

something by Dinosaur Jr.

idk I don't really listen to much stuff with solos. Friedman's Tornado of Souls one is good too.

[Poet]

Band sucks now, but I've always loved the solo of Second Heartbeat from Avenged Sevenfold.

[Bordello]

[Stevie II]

Forgot to mention Frank Zappa - Muffin Man

dont know it what album?

[Panopticon]

Selkies: The Endless Obsession - BTBAM.

[Ventriloquist]

Not sure if it belongs to an album. I think I had it in one of my best of zappa CDs. It was the closing song from a concert of Zappa & Captain Beefhart. You MUST listen to it if you like zappa.

[Stevie II]

[Ventriloquist]

obviously the intro solo to Steely Dan's "Reelin' in the Years"

[Stevie II]

have you heard the one i mentioned? penultimate song to Joe's Garage. works better if you follow the story throughout, but is a really soulful solo

[Ventriloquist]

Yea I know the song and story heh. One of the best instrumental songs of Zappa.

[Det_Nosnip]

Hmm...didn't know you listened to Zappa, Stevie. :thumb:

I dunno if I could pick 3 solos from all of the music I listen to.

[Stevie II]

Muffin man sounds pretty damn good. I got to expand my zappa collection.

[Stevie II]

[Mother]

There are a lot but right at the top of my head I say that solo in the song Victory By megadeth

[Kage]

The drum solo in Coltrane's Mars is my favorite.

[Bordello]

[Bordello]

I don't even know half of them... yeah... irony of the bordello ^^
