This is the thread to discuss the greatest guitar solos ever.
i have made a little list for the top 10 guitar solos.
Criteria: overall quality of the composition (mainly), originallity, complexity, influence, and lasting appeal
1.comfortably numb-pink floyd 2.texas flood-stevie ray vaughan 3.stairway to heaven-led zeppelin 4.mr crowley-ozzy osborne 5.free bird-lynyrd skynyrd 6.all along the watch tower-jimi hendrix 7.maggot brain-****adelic 8.eruption-van halen 9.layla-derek and the dominoes 10.highway star-deep purple
Through the Fire and Flames - Dragonforce Seize The Day - Avenged Sevenfold November Rain - Guns N Roses Waking The Demon - Bullet For My Valentine Enter Sandman - Metallica
really great solos (no particular order): Iron Maiden - Dance Of Death Gamma Ray - Rebellion In Dreamland Primal Fear - Iron Fist In A Velvet Glove Judas Priest - Between The Hammer And The Anvil Metallica - Whiplash Blind Guardian - Another Holy War Darkest Hour - Stand And Receive Your Judgement Helloween - The Invisible Man Megadeth - Tornado Of Souls
these are only the ones i know off the top of my head, ill prob post more as i remember them.
i think probably the best metallica guitar solo would be one though. hands down one. like i honestly dont think any other guitar solo by metallica even comes close to one

I personally think that Fade To Black solo is better.
IMO the soloo from 'Tears Don't Fall' is better.
Well thats good to, i like waking the demon because its 2 guitars soloing at the same time! Also Matt Tuck's opening Hearts Burst Into Fire solo is pretty awsome, then theres the Crazy Train solo
The Fade To Black intro solo is pretty sweet and really not that hard to play (if you're a guitarist). It's one of my favorites even though it's pretty mainstream.
Along with Enter Sandman and it's epic wah-wah pedal abuse, it's also one of my favorites.
The Day That Never Comes has an awesome duet guitar solo that is outstanding to watch live. But enough of Metallica...
Tornado of Souls by Megadeth is one of the best organized solos of all time. Each part of the solo is organized into a specific amount of time. I thought that was pretty cool and would take a lot of practice. Dave is a pretty outstanding guitarist.
Cowboys from Hell by Pantera has one of my favorite tapping parts in it out of a lot of solos I've attempted and learned to play, it's one of my favorites as well besides being a bit mainstream.
Pantera - domination [good Dimebag solo with a breakdown XD We can trace the influence to Metalcore from here, and other styles as well]
Fyrefox delossantosj
Metallica - the day that never comes [awesome song, i didnt have the chance to listen the new stuff thx]
Fyrefox
Megadeth - tornado of souls [As far i know, the solo was created and performed by Marty Friedman. Even if this is debatable, Friedman style is recognizable cause of the exotic scale]
