The man is such a genius that he can throw his Number 1 guitar solo away on an obscure B-side (Valley Boy). In fact if you trawl through youtube you will find several obscure Manics B-sides that you've probably never heard, and as well as being better songs than most bands 'best', they will also contain an epic James Dean Bradfield solo. Saw them Friday night in Bournemouth, the man is a fucking genius.

my little empire needs to be the 10th place on this list. but i agree with all selected.

[Manics1989]

This proves that even the most boring Manics songs can be made listenable by a Bradfield solo.

[fuckamericanidiot]

the roses in the hospital solo sounds like something off of ridge racer, not a compliment

[clowninamicrowave]

I've favourited this, as well as PeeledApples' selection. Let's face it there are just SO many great JDB solos to choose from.

[PeeledApples]

hmmm valley boy i wasn't expecting that.

[fuckamericanidiot]

same that's not a bad solo, just the rest of the song is so dull

[MANICSGNR]

i love this!! this video is brilliant!! i have favourated it and defo rated it 5 stars

[RandyPrincePhilip]

I'd forgotten how beautiful that Black Dog outro is. Thank you again.

[fuckamericanidiot]

i remember when i first forced myself to listen to it all the way through and discovering the end part, love it

[3MACE3]

[maniaczek91]

With pleasure :)

[MANICSGNR]

ive uploaded it now, along with the rest of lipstick traces. so if ya wanna check it out, by all means do so :D

[danwillingham]

Archives of pain solo is epic. Where is the motorcycle emptiness solo from?

[maniaczek91]

On the 3rd rank - Motorcycle Emptiness (live from Milton Keynes) :)

[danwillingham]

Cheers for that, I've got a VHS live at the Astoria in 94 I'll put up here one day. The motorcycle emptiness solo in that goes on for about a day!

[MANICSGNR]

yh i love that aswell!!!! both of the ones that u sed!! but also the rest of the other solos aswell

[billybobs309]

@danwillingham it says in the video

[scotteri84]

Ooh, JDB with blonde hair. I don't remember that. Very nice. Good choices too.

[rstc8]

Drug drug druggy is my fave too. Def one of the best piece of guitar work he has ever done.
