I'd say that some of the solos in this video weren't anything special, but I suppose I'd probably see why they're good if I heard the whole song, so that I can see how it fits in.
I see some fantastic ones in here, though.
Metallica, Trivium, Dragonforce, and most of the ones after them, Dream Theater... There's so many tallented guitarists. I wish I could play like that> Maybe in about ten years...
altitiudes(jason becker), anoche(vertu), fade to black, stairway to heaven, mr crowley, tornado of souls, cliffs of dover, texas flood, stream of conciousness, for the love of god and far beyond the son are some of the ones ill put. you have some so thats fine.
PLS go to my favs (I only have 5) click on SUBURBAN GUY ROCKIN OUT
he plays by ear only, really feels what he plays and improvises his songs as he goes along. the other 2 favs are him also ARIEL (awesome shredding) and ARIEL SIMANTOV (awesome sweeping) pls view comment and rate them as we think he deserves recogntion .thanks everyone!
you damn asshole, you probably have no life and listen to heavy metal while cutting yourself. If it hadnt have been for led zeppelin, dumb-ass death metal bands wouldve never existed, and you know it
Just wondering what are best solo's based upon difficulty speed or sound i know i don't play guitar but some of my favorite solo's are on the nevermind album
Jordan Rudess' accomplishment tilts the scales for Dream Theater- very well-educated, professional group. i am looking forward to hearing their new piece-reastless ear doesn't know what is patience !
could not agree more with you 7861xx about dragon force i saw them a few years ago suporting WASP and there was no feeling in the solos just lots of fancy shit .Mind you wasp werent much better!
Thanks man. Some interesting stuff there -including a few bands I haven't heard much of before. I actually think that Dream Theatre solo is not one of John's best. Such an awesome song, he could have done so much more with that solo instead of just blazing away. Cool vid.
dragonforce got better during the ultra beatdown tour. they can actually play, they always did but herman li was always drunk when he plays guitar back then
first off, to all of you talentless haters out there, dragonforce and sonata artica have some of the most talented guitar players ever born. it amazes me how people fail to realize that.
and now to the creator of this video,
wheres karl sanders/dallas toller-wade in nile's cast down the heretic??? that has to have the most unbelievable solo ever written
sonata is not the worst. they're really underrated. but they have talent. just look at their guitarist, Jani Liimatainen. Dragonforce does speed up but they can play live now. look at mayhem fest or any other performances from 08.
god i hate these new poser bands that try to bring back guitar solos but all they do is rip them to shreds and make em really fast i think a great guitar solo is something that is promisisng has a great meloy and yes some fast parts but not insane that u lose interest jeez...
Smashinheads12 i am glad your one of the few people who are still alive these days that actually knows the meaning of a good solo. Btw Fade to black is my favorite =]
ok ok ok good selection but where the fuk is michael angelo batio lol ino he in da fastest guitar solos but he def got 2 b one of the best guitarists alive hear search this nitro(the band he wuz in) freight train tht got amazin solo
ummm apparently you know nothing about music, because this was a opinion, and also their was a thing done by a guitar magazine that posted a list of the top 100 solos ever in a worldwide poll and stairway to heaven was the best solo according to th polls and eruption was number 2 so im guessing everyones a poser and no one knows anything about music?
wow sorry man thought you were directing your comment towards a different topic have some tolerance i made a mistake im pretty sure you make em to so calm down your not getting anywhere with that attitude

European metal is fucking gay compared to American stuff. Good, but gay in comparison.
