@ChadLikesGuitars haha fuck you bro, obviously all i was saying was that they are still just as good now as the first time i listened to them. but good try man. :)
These guys only have two albums under their belt and they're already one of the most respected and influential progressive metal bands of the past twenty years. I can't wait to see what new directions they take their sound in the future.
@fatguyonpc I should also add that if you think this solo is good, check out the one from the song Veil of Maya from their first album. To this day that remains a gold standard in lead guitar creativity.
@jeffuary Completely agreed. When I first bought 'Focus' in '94 and heard Masvidal launch into that first solo; both mine and my best friend at the times jaws hit the floor in unison. As you say, it really is gold standard, interstellar stuff. The structure, technicality, composition and vision of it is immense. Musical moments like that do not come around much, yet these 2 records are filled with them. This is why Masvidal is a genius. And lets not get onto the end solo of How Could I... :)
@PhoenixOfAscendance Completely agree as well, I hardly hear anyone put that much passion and intensity while keeping a controlled calm and sense of mastery into their solos.
Wow... this song makes me depressed at how I will never be as good as them. Then i'm forced to live and be included in this horrid race known as humans and not up in the sky with these gods. Well no one every said life was fair, right?
cynics solos are magical..........trust me i dont use gay words like magical and meat often but theres no hetiralsexual word to describe this fantasticness
@Ehb42021 : They are considered Tech Death Prog fusion due to their first record Focus Traced in Air is a huge leap from Focus very different records but both are excellent in their own rights.
check out this band...

Cynic is better than sex.
Unless you have sex with Paul Masvidal.
Because that would be weird.

That is one of the best guitar solos I have ever heard.
The part where he goes completely out of key for about 2 beats just blew my mind.
