I Love Rock N' Roll - Joan Jett - For such a supposedly tough chick who loves rock 'n' roll, this is simply an anti- climactic, weak, whimper of a solo.
I was made for loving you - Ace Frehley - when you drop the pyrotechnics, makeup and other theatrical gimmicks, you're left with some very plain, very pedestrian rock soloing.
Bryan Adams - Cuts Like A Knife - Sounds like Bryan just discovered how to use the whammy bar.
Magic Man - Roger Fisher, Heart - I shouldn't even have to explain this one. God, who on the planet hasn't been subjected to this grating instrumental break?
Sucker In A Three Piece - Eddie Van Halen - Eddie relies on hyperbolic whammy-bar hijinks without really "playing" much of anything, he's seen here as just another aging rock virtuoso making stale rock- god gestures on yet another incredibly forgettable Van Halen album.
Ballbreaker - Angus Young - Young just sounds like he's dead tired of it all. His soloing is a mere parody of what it once was
Hold On Loosly - Donnie Van Zant, 38 special - Here we have a passionless, complacent outro solo-- the kind that infects so many bad Southern Rock instrumentalists: bland, colorless, well- worn riffage. Lots of generic good ol' boy shit.
When I See You Smile - Neal Schon, Bad English - Here's a perfect example of Schon's embarrassing pussy-ass contribution to rock music.
Free Bird - Gary Rossington, Ed King, Allen Collins - This impotent three- pronged hillbilly guitar attack is exhausting to say the least.
Other (Please Explain)

Hey Barf, lets hear you play something. Some of those players you have listed are very good musicians.
By no means should you cut them down becuase of a particular piece of music.

All of those solos suck.
I didn't say the guitar player sucked.
With the exception of Neal Schon.
Who is actually decent guitar player, who was stuck with Cheesy power ballads.
anything Neal Schon does is gay, along with any Richie Sambora or Bryan Adams

C. C. Deville is one of the worst guitarist in rock history & he has the WORST solos of all time as well.

other..."why can't this be love"...having a guitar god wasting his talent on a keayboard, while a mop haired poodle is torturing a guitar is one thing...but having the poodle screech over a fucking lame ass "solo" takes it over the top...

I forgot the solo masturbation scene of Ron Jeremy in.... Ron Jeremy and the temple of POON.
1. Bryan Adams had nothing to do with the solo on "Cuts Like A Knife". He is NOT the lead guitarist in his band.
2. Roger Fisher was a very inventive soloist for his time (mid-to-late 70s). He gave that song a solo that was not too over the top, but not ultra-lame. It was just right for the song.
3. Angus Young's worst guitar solos are still better than half the solos on this list.
4. I voted for "Other: (Please Explain".)
Though I do not know who this artist "Other" is, nor have I heard he/she/it's song "(Please Explain)", I haveta say that the worst guitar solo I ever witnessed in my life (with the possible exception of ANYTHING by the British NWOBHM band Bad News) was Mick Mars in November of 1989 at Kansas City's Kemper Arena on the Dr. Feelgood Tour.
He totally sucked fucking ass, enough that I walked out of the venue into the concession area to get a coke, in the hopes that he would be done making his pathetic racket by the time I got back to my seat.
As a matter of fact, why was his name not included in this poll? He sucks as a guitarist.

You did know that Bad News were a comedy act like Spinal Tap?
I saw that tour and the Mars solo spot and it teetered between being so bad it was really funny and just being so bad.
By that time we had a running joke about MM guitar playing so most of the folk I was with were laughing their asses off.
Cheers

Has to be Kiss -I Love It Loud, I still remember the video too, Paul just wails on his 6 note guitar solo, everytime I hear that song I laugh at the solo ( Assuming that it is Paul, just because he does it in the video doesnt mean its him on the record, I have no idea), when I think worst solo this tune is the first to come to mind, I actually like the song, but the solo is a joke......

There are a few examples of that but 'Piece Of Your Action' stands out as being fucking awful.Originally posted by Va Beach VH Fan

I would go with the Beastie Boys though. The minute I saw the thread title that's what I thought of and a few others had already posted it.
Just how bad do you need to be out of the thousands of songs in the world for that to happen?
I can't separate them in my head, maybe some sick fuck could post them but I seem to remember their other 'hit' 'Fight for your Right to Party' having an even worse solo than NSTB.
Cheers!
