Hey HyperMetal Heads

I heard one of mine this morning on Plant Rock, so that has prompted me to ask you fellow thrashers in case I've missed a good one :)

So what is your favorite guitar solo/s?

Mine would be

UFO - Rock Bottom (The one I heard today)

Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb

And one some may not have heard, and I love the last bit of guitar in the song.

Onslaught - Welcome to Dying.

Anything by Andreas Kisser, his weird dissonant stuff is really awesome, Arise is some of his best work.

Dimebag Darrell. You can't choose just one, but Dimebag really blows me away with how he engages you with simple and flaming fast solos. The way he bends, and squeals, and the little tiny things like stopping and doing a pinch harmonic right in the middle of the solo and shit. Oh there's just too much to mention. He's got so much groove and so much shred at the same time, it's unbelievable.

This isn't even a very popular one off this particular album, but it's one of my favorite solos of all time. There's just something about it that gets me every time

Kirk Hammett - Shortest straw. He has played more memorable solos (although i dunno about anything post and justice for all), but this one is an absolute beast.

Not sure if that's my fav, i'll have to think.

Cool. I do like the solo's from Sanitarium and Master of Puppets.

I feel ashamed to call myself a metal head if I've not heard any Pantera. Luckily there's still time.

Thank you for showing me the way ;)

If you don't mind going a bit heavier, pretty much all the solos on the Heatwork and Necroticism discs by Carcass are great.

I'm no stranger to Carcass volumetric, I bought Necroticism: Descanting the Insalubrious back in 1991 and saw them probably around the same time in some shady club in Oxford. I will never forget it, Bill Steer is another legend.

As your a resident of Australia, perhaps you've heard of the Hard-ons who I also saw at Bristol Bierkeller. Before the gig they where in the pub next door watching the cricket. I never realised they reformed in 97. :)

Many years ago the Hard-ons snuck me into one of their gigs in a drum case as i was underage at the time :)

WTF. :rofl: How did that happened? you knew them? Blackie didn't just snatch you off the street and shove you in the drum case.

A few school friends and myself went to see them thinking it was an all ages show when it wasn't, i think they saw us moping around outside, realised we were underage and took pity on us. That would've been in like 89-90, long time ago :)

(an overly tall 14yo in a licensed venue, where it was assumed everyone was drinking age? You better believe i got drunk off my ass, hence the vagueness of my recollection)

I'm a rock guitarist when I get the time these days. I love playing surfing with the alien by Joe Satriani. I guess it's my party piece. He's a dude.

I have so many influences but Steve Vai & Ry cooder in crossroads were brilliant!
