Fucking hate guitar solos, so none of them.
The Best Guitar Solos Of All Time!
Aye, lets. Guitar solos rule!
Obviously, this.
Always loved the weird swelling buzzsaw solo in Cruel as well
Thanks. As you’ve probably seen in the Mellon Collie hot takes thread I’m not a fan of solos that are just there for the guitarist to show off his technical skills. I like it when they actually add something to the song. I feel John Frusciante I very good at this and I particularly like the solo in I Could Have Lied.
Damn, forgot that song existed. That was one of the solos I learned back when I was learning to play guitar. Blast from the past!
My serious answer is this:
Because it’s the perfect balance of technically cool but also really nicely phrased and not over the top.
Or this:
Because it is a bit over-the-top widdly widdly but it kind of keeps ramping up and is amazing.
I like nick zimmer’s guest solo on bright eyes down a rabbit hole for its mangling of one note, dinosaur he’s raisans more expressive than any vocals, the ridiculous one on tales of a scorched earth, and the aforementioned milk it. Guitar solos can be great but are mostly pointless
i thought everyone agreed that it’s that prince once where he throws his guitar in the air at the end and it never comes down?
I love his solos in the song Get Me. It seems like the sort of over-the-top thing you’d hate but it’s just incredible
