The list of songs which meet this criteria will be a lot longer than the list of songs that re vastly improved by having a guitar solo

Iirc my main down note on the second Thurston Moore solo album was the tendency towards fairly trad guitar solos from the other guitarist. Not that they were shit or anything, they just jar a bit with the more Thurstonny aspects that resonate w me more

The ones that spring to mind are the extraneous solos that appeared on mid-80s Def Jam releases eg. ‘King Of Rock’. I didn’t have a problem with the rock-rap mixture per se, but teenage me just couldn’t comprehend guitar solos, whereas now I’m quite partial.

I still don’t like the guitar wankery on KOR (pointless and crap), but I had a quick listen to ‘No Sleep Til Brooklyn’ and ‘Raising Hell’, and, whilst I wouldn’t say the solos add anything to either track, in retrospect they don’t actually ruin them.

Bruce’s solos on this are awesome. Tom Morello’s fret jizzery is most definitely not awesome.

Just about every Slayer solo would be better if someone else played it.

Anything by Vai, Satriani and Malmsteen. :laughing:
