Holy shit Bob, Cacophany, haven't heard them in years.

I recently busted out my copies of "Go Off!" and "Speed Metal Symphony"...great albums...they needed to have more, too...

God damn Roth and Megadeth, anyway!

Megadeth - 5 Magics is insane.

The one solo that always amazes me is Jimmy Page in "Stairway to Heaven". The feel he gets out of a very basic scale, is incredible.

That's one of my favourites too, only as the Zappa version on The Best Band You Never Heard In Your Life. Mike Keneally on Guitar and the entire horn section play it note for note! It fucking rocks!

i have a couple. round and round by ratt/ back in black by acdc/ and photograph by def leppard. theirs no dlr/vh only because this is supposed to be other then dlr/vh i guess.

Of course you'd say that. You and every other dumb teenager on the face of the planet. All those are good, but don't listen to stuff you've heard six million times. Hell, I listen to stuff no one's ever heard of

Why for? I loved Jason in Roth, and hell, Marty was better than Chris Poland

I think Bob means for providing those two with jobs when they could have kept making music together.

It was a joke, i think

If anyone remembers the long vesion of that Hear n' Aid single, Stars (it was that all-star metal band that jumped on the Aid for Africa bandwagon) all the guitarists from that era of metal each took a solo. George Lynch's was absolutely the smokingest solo I ever heard this side of EVH's Eruption.

I also like Goerge's solo on It's Not Love and Warren Di Martini's part on Round and Round.

Lots of great soloists and songs mentioned already so I'm going to add someone and a song that's missing:

Steve Hackett (formerly of Genesis) - Horizons.

It's an instrumental piece but it's really as close to a solo that Genesis every got. They were always more interested in playing as an ensemble than on their individual talents (which were quite extraordinary, I must say).

Oh...Don't forget one of the most memorable solos in rock history- Ace Frehley's solo on Rock n' Roll All Night from the greatest live album of all time- KISS Alive.

The studio version of RN'RAN didn't have a solo...little bit of trivia for you all.

I prefer Ace's solo on LET ME GO ROCK'N'ROLL on ALIVE......

ANd his solo on DR. LOVE is my favorite................KISS solo that is
