A great guitar solo does not a good song make.
Why do you think Steve Vai never has platinum solo albums?
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.Last edited by pete; 08-18-2004, 12:16 AM.Comment

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?sigpic

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

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."What we've been doing, which is great and certainly cost saving, is I train in the sand pit in McDonald's. I do a few laps. I go through the tunnel a few times. The kids don't mind if I smoke. Plus, when I'm done, lunch is right there."- DLR 2003Comment

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.Achtung Baby I say, I say...Comment
