well they're better than a lot of other bands...

people! stop saying the fred durst one! we all know it sucks, so stop mentioning it! this thread is full of fred durst sucks

Van Halen: "Girl You Really Got Me Goin"
 

Van Halen: "Girl You Really Got Me Goin", they're a good bad, but that song just isn't very suiting.

[QUOTE=gocaps99]i would have to say "otherside" by the chili peppers and the last 5 minutes of "layla" by derek & the dominos[/QUOTE]

pointless thread really as if it was the worst guitar solo ever it wouldnt have ever been on a song that is released....bands have producers who will tell you if something sucks

Nirvana - Smells like Teen Spirit

Horrible, horrible solo.

[QUOTE=Burial]any green gay[/QUOTE]

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

[QUOTE=Raceman16]What is the worst guitar solo you have ever heard.[/QUOTE]

Anything by Lenny Kravits! :smash: and atomic garden by bad religion


Welcome RaceMan.

Metallica - One :D

***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.

[QUOTE=ihatecountrymusic231]audioslave-shadow on the sun. and all the other songs that morello overdoes the effects on.[/QUOTE]
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.

Stop calling Tom's solos crap
 

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.

Tom Morello's solos help define the Rage Against the Machine experience. They're awesome, and just because he's not shredding his *** off doesn't mean it's no good.

[QUOTE=greenmonkey]i don't know what is was or who it was by but when i was in florida that spring break i heard this ****ty solo it was only like 5 notes and it was on like 3 seconds long and it was by one of those new pop rock bands to i think im not sure and i don't really care[/QUOTE]

I know you said you dont care but the group is Bowling For Soup and I agree that solo as well as the song, SUCKS!!!!

anything by nirvana

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 sh[SIZE=2]i[/SIZE]t, 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.

[QUOTE=Tools of Skatan]I fking hate Morellos solos. Yeah they were cool for the first 3-4 I heard but he just is relentless with the effects. Hes trying wayyy too hard man, just sh*t the hell up and play a normal solo already god dam.[/QUOTE]

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.

if u've seen b4 wad fred durst (try)did at some live concert u'll know EXACTLY wad a bad solo is.

jack white at the grammys last year, oh god was that awful

Slayer - rainning blood

takes it for me. So pointless...

[QUOTE=manuscriptreplica]Fred Durst's poor attempt at shredding :lol:

I don't have a link but I'm sure someone will[/QUOTE]

haha, I saw that, what a poor guy, he probably though he was doing something cool :smash:

Anything by Limp dyck
 

Anything by Limp Bizskit it whatever the name is of that group. Shame
shame shame.

nothing gets worse than "drink, fight, and fuk" by GG Allin. i dont care what anyone says, this is the worst excuse for a solo i have ever heard. its so bad its awesome

The one solo by that one band............
you know.......the one thats like bananananannnwweeerwweeeeerrrr

kurt cobains solos most definatly.

[QUOTE=Iris]Looks like someone was sick when they tought grammar, and punctuation in school.[/QUOTE]

Looks like someone was sick when they taught spelling in school.

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.

i know the fred durst solo has been ripped to schreds...but IMO what makes it worse is that hes actually getting into it like leaning back on the stupid bend and like bobbing his head...




pathetic..... :rolleyes:

I dont really think Nirvana has terrible solos, yeah there no hendrix, or led zeppelin or zack wylde ....but they fit the songs...well some. and think about it...do u really think kurt gave a flying **** whether people were going to like them or not? probably not. 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.

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.

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 :)

i think the worst solo is the one in 'show me how to live' by audioslave, its certainly morellos worst solo, theres no way it would work without the bass to back it up

is it just me or does the solo to like a stone by audioslave really suck a$s? i hate that solo so much.

[QUOTE=slaytalica25]is it just me or does the solo to like a stone by audioslave really suck a$s? i hate that solo so much.[/QUOTE]

"I Am The Highway" is even worse.

what u got against nirvana solos? so what if they arent as complicated as others but the main thing is if the solo sounds good no?

[QUOTE=m00sa]what u got against nirvana solos? so what if they arent as complicated as others but the main thing is if the solo sounds good no?[/QUOTE]

Yes, the main thing is that the solo sounds good, which Nivana's DO NOT.

OK why is everybody be dissin' Nirvana(kurt) guitar solos. Nirvana's songs sound awesome with a feedback Killin' solo. There songs would be weird if all of a sudden Kurt busted out with a face melting steve vai kind of solo.....FLAVOR FLAV!

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.

Wow. I heard a local band's guitarist solo'ing tonight, and it definatly didn't suck. I honestly believe he made the instrument speak english.

No guitar solo is the worst guitar solo, think about it.

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.
