post #29 and forward are mostly about guitar solos and not just the ones who played them.

about the better living through chemistry solo, I must say it's one of the best sounding solos that are very very easy to play. I don't appreciate it enough maybe because it sounds just like an interlude and not an actal solo (because it's so rediculously simple). Too bad it doesn't sound nearly as convincing if you only have the guitar.

[ZeUs!!]

The Libertines - Horrorshow
Nine Black Alps - Get Your Guns
Nirvana - Stay Away
The Distillers - Drain The Blood
Anything by the Sex Pistols

[PaulOakenfold]

1. Eddie Van Halen's - Eruption
2. Jimmy Hendrix - All Along the Watchtower
3. Slash from Guns and Roses - November Rain (I like it better than Sweet Child of Mine's solo)
4. David Gilmour from Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb (Not a fan of Pink Floyd, and I think they're generally overrated - I'm a Who fan HAR - but I think this is one of the greatest solos I've ever heard)
5. Mike McCready from Pearl Jam - Alive

[PaulOakenfold]

some awesome song riffs you should hear:

silverstein - when broken is easily fixed
silverstein - smashed into pieaces
atreyu - bleeding mascara mp3 here (http://www.dazeddl.com/Music/Atreyu/Atreyu%20-%20The%20Curse-(Advance)%20-%20Bleeding%20Mascara.mp3)
as i lay dying - forever
avenged sevenfold - unholy confessions

[project dragon]

Jimi Hendrix - The Star Spangled Banner (live)
just came to my head

[Squeezer]

MMMMM both the silverstein solos are bomb.com/uremom

Also, Atreyu's Right Side of the Bed has a sweet fuckin solo.

But I'll take Bleeding Mascarra as well.

[Torn Wing]

Have you heard the A Perfect Circle cover of that song?

[Pearl Jam]

no, sounds intriguing though

[PaulOakenfold]

It's pretty awesome.

[genocidal]

I'm just as much of an APC fan as the next guy but them covering a Zeppelin blues song sounds very sketchy. Especially considering how good the original is.

[Jeansi]

I've recently re-fallen in love with the Ball and Biscuit (the white stripes) song's solo. orgastic.

It's VERY different. You'd have to listen to it to get a good idea of it, cause I can't really describe it, but yeah. You either love it or hate it.

[froedrick]

I have a bunch of favorites just for the sound, not for difficulty.

no particular order

While my guitar gently weeps (you could take either version, me I prefer the beatles one)
In the end (beatles)
Yellow Ledbetter (pearl jam) I find the whole songs a solo
Hotel California (eagles)
Know your enemy (ratm)
Say it ain't so (weezer)
Something (beatles, whoever said this earlier you kick ass)
and your bird can sing (beatles, I think gen said this one $$ you rock)

btw atdi suck emo kids, same goes for the mars volta

[froedrick]

Tim Reynolds has quite a few nice ones on the 'live at luthor college' cd with Dave Matthews.

I have a vid from the George Harrison memorial concert where Prince plays the end solo. Get it from somewhere, it's fucking fantastic. I got it by accident with a 2cd album called "while my guitar gently weeps" with good guitar songs on it in general too.

My g.f has the George memorial concert on DVD, it is awesome :)

But I can't help it atdi aren't revolutionary. And the mars volta are just weird.

[Torn Wing]

Oh but don't you see Froe, they ARE revolutionary, for Jerome seems to mention them in every topic, and we all know who they are now. How is that a revolution, I'm not really sure, I just happened to stumble upon them like 4 years ago when I was looking for an Ataris CD. They're ok, but I'd take Sparta over both of them any day.

Same with me, Jim made that band. Omar and cedric are just two fucked up individuals on too many drugs and trying to be deep for the sake of being deep.

Jim is too emo - but Sparta is good. Tony rocks the drums but Cedric and Omar were definitely the heart and soul of At the Drive-In since Cedric was the primary lyricist and Omar the primary composer. But yeah they are pretty crazy - a friend of mine has a bootleg VHS of a bunch of different ATDI shows and a few Defacto ones and in one of the videos the band is playing in this tiny white room and Cedric starts like climbing on top of the piano and speakers and shit and just in general "bouncing off the walls." Drugs? Probably.

His lyrics are stupid. Yet atdi fans atest it to their being original and absolutely amazing lyricist abilities. In fact they're nonsense. Drummers cool, rolodex propaganda was always a cool sounding song.
