          A great guitar solo does not a good song make.

          Why do you think Steve Vai never has platinum solo albums?
          I think the beauty of that solo is it SERVES the tune and the instruments around it (arrangement if you will).

          That is a good guitar solo.

          When the guitat solo makes the tune, You need a new writer.

          Knowing when to not use a solo is important too.

          I could list 10 great aspects of that solo.

          Too much typing.

              I agree.

              However, I always think the best solos are little songs inside the song itself.

              While it would be nice to sit and marvel at the great melodic and technical aspects of that solo, which is in itself fantastic, don`t you think it would be served better by a superior piece of songwriting?

                  I personally thought "Sunday Afternoon in the Park" sucked on that album. "Push Comes to Shove" wasn't that great but it was O.K.

                    Sunday Afternoon in the Park is just a boring instrumental... It's very hard to play, but it's not very appealing to me.

                      I like SAITP a lot. Very moody.
                      Alex's drums sound killer.

                      Tracks like that one that added depth to VH's albums and energy as a band.

                        Yes, and it leads us nicely into One Foot Out The Door which is a great track.

                        It's in the context of Fair Warning that these songs work. They add an atmosphere to the overall feel of the album. On their own they might not stand up but together they are something special.

                        Think of Fair Warning as a concept album, very dark and cynical.

                          EXACTLY.
