after jamming to "freebird" unabashedly in the car just now, it occurred to me that the long assed solos at the end might be the finest thing skynrd ever did. soooooooooo, here's my list of my favorite guitar solos (in no particular order)
-the end of "Black Dog" by Zepp
-the end of "Freebird"
-"Come Together", the Beatles
-"Honest Man"...c'mon, you know you like it
-"Spirit of Radio, Rush
-"Europa", Santana
-"'Cause we ended as Lovers", Jeff Beck
what's your short list of fav solos??
Mine are mostly old school and there are so many I love(anything Hendrix).But here are a few that will always bring out the air guitar.
Led Zep "Heartbreaker"
Neil Young "Like a Hurricane"
Frank Zappa "Yo' Mama"
Steely Dan "Reeling in the Years"
King Crimsom "Red"
Yes "Roundabout"
Genesis "It"
Queen "Bohemian Rhapsody"
Say what you will about me, but I will maintain that the solo in "Sweet Child of Mine" by Guns 'n' Roses is perhaps the finest ever.
elsewhere on the list:
-I agree w/ "Honest Man" - love the dueling guitars
-"Sam" by Boss Hog - I think it's only 2 notes - beautiful minimalist noise rock!
That's all I can think of right now!
Hey! I meant to start a thread similar to this not too long ago because I realized just how damn cool the solo in "Whole Lotta Love" is. That's a damn fine solo of there ever was one. It's not blazing fast or anything, it just fits the song so damn well.
I also think that the solo to "Sweet Child o'Mine" is great. I recently caved in and listened to some GNR for the first time in MANY years. I remembered how good some of that old stuff is. I need to check out Velvet Revolver's album. Anyone have any thoughts?
Pink Floyd "Comfortably Numb".
Jimi Hendrix "Star Spangled Banner" from Woodstock.
Neil Young "Cortez the Killer" from Live Rust.
Frank Zappa from Zoot Allures.."Black Napkins"
The Allman Bros."In Memory Of Elizabeth Reed"
Buffalo Springfield "Bluebird"(Stephen Stills)
Dire Straits "Sultans of Swing"
Lou Reed "Sweet Jane" from Rock n Roll Animal
I could name a million live Dead shows with Garcia.
The same with Stevie Ray Vaughn,too many to list.
Just hearing anything with Slash and Co. playing is better than a lot of commercial crap these days...seems like everyone is playing musical chairs with bands.
nuthin' wrong with Sweet child o mine, great tune. also, the old skool has the most solos anyway, so that's what I was aiming at...
and damn it if I didn't forget about Neil Young!
Quoteand damn it if I didn't forget about Neil Young!
Well,don't let it happen again. ;)
Van Halen....Ain't talking about Love
Ted Nugent....Stranglehold
UFO....Rock Bottom(little M. Schenker)
I agree completely with Jellyfish in regards to Jerry Garcia...way to many to come up with.
D.

I borrowed my buddy's copy and have to say that Velvet Revolver didn't put much artistice effort into this release--try to borrow a copy from someone to check it out before you drop $12-16 on it 'wiggum
1. Ted Nuggent - Stranglehold (It's a face melter!)
2. Pearl Jam - Evenflow (It needs to be a live version though, Mike's probably done the solo 2000 times and not once the same.)
3. Pink Floyd - (Every solo David Gilmore ever did)
4. My Morning Jacket - One Big Holliday (Sheer Bliss)
5. Pearl Jam - Yellow Ledbetter (Make Me Cry!!!!!!!!!)

I think Brian Setzer is another player who is noticably absent from all lists...
Have not spent enormous time contemplating this but here are a few that the rest of the site may have overlooked.
War Begun - Live
Eruption
Flirting With Disaster
and anything Jimmy Page did
Great topic!
There are 2 solos that really stand out for me at the moment (mainly because I listened to the album today) from Love is Hell 1 by Ryan Adams. The Shadowlands and Avalanche are both played out by stunning solos performed by Greg Leisz, who I know a criminally small amount about. The one at the end of Shadowlands is especially haunting.
Eurption by Van Halen has alwyas been one of my favourites.
I also agree with anything Hendrix or Page produced.
Oooh Oooh Mr Kotter! Last minute addition: I LOVE the guitar work in Lucinda Williams' "Righteously"!
AND how could I forget to include Lou Reed's "Sweet Jane" (LIVE from "Rock and Roll Animal")!
These are nice... some were probably already mentioned as they seem to be 'classic'!
Like a hurricane: Neil Young
Little wing: Jimi Hendrix
Whole lotta love: Led Zep
I put a spell on you: CCR
Gun: John Cale
Just a man: Los Lobos
The thrill is gone; BB King
Amphetamine: Steve Wynn and the miracle three
No Fun: The Stooges
Marquee Moon: Television
Revelation mother earth: Ozzy Osbourne
Know your enemy: RATM
Till the end of the day: The Kinks
ooo ya--always loved Revelation Mother Earth! good call!
Quote

These are great! definitely on my list
just heard some frampton in the car, and i'm adding "do you feel like we do" from frampton comes alive...cheesy, but what a kick ass solo.
Cinamon Girl-Neil Young
Just-Radiohead
Mind over money-Turin Brakes
Shapes Of Things To Come-The Yardbirds
The Ocean- Zep
Killer Queen-Queen
Quotejust heard some frampton in the car, and i'm adding "do you feel like we do" from frampton comes alive...cheesy, but what a kick ass solo.
c'mon now! Peter's a lovely guy (and plays a pretty mean geetar when he wants)! :D
hey man, i had a total obsession with FCA back in the day...from start to finish, that record is great...you are correct, he does play a mean gittr when he wants to!
thought of one more: the bit at the end of "stop breathin" by Pavement (off crooked rain, crooked rain) it starts to get kind of dissonant in a really good way -it's so good it's ridiculous. I haven't listened to that album in years, and I started thinking about that part on the way to work this afternoon, and now I'm completely jonesing to hear it - can't wait to get home!
Steely Dan - Kid Charlemagne, from The Royal Scam.
Zappa - just about anything, but especially the Hot Rats album.
Hendrix - Like a Rolling Stone (live version)
Derek & the Dominoes - Key to the Highway/Have you ever loved a woman
Love your taste Greggy,some real guitar gods on your list.Especially Zappa,who a lot of people tend to not to take too seriously because on the humour and sarcasm in his music.
"pajama people" is still one of my favorite songs... :)
Jane's Addiction - Three Days
Always makes me do this: :o
What's Going On - Taste.
One of the first solos I ever heard that made stop in my tracks. Long time ago and haven't heard it for years, but still remember it. Rory, what a man.
(Was he big in the US?)
Did anyone mention the live solo on Cortez the Killer... awsome!
David Rawlins on 'Revelator' never fails to make the hair on my neck stand up.
Bengrim,Good call on David Rawlings.A very under rated guitarist with a great acoustic sound and style.
Here, here! That solo in "I Want to Sing that Rock 'n Roll" is so unbelievable. And it's cool because it's live, and you can hear people go nuts for it.
(hm. Is it "here, here", or "hear, hear". hm)
i love the solo in Steel Feeling Blue.(followed by a mean fiddle solo).by.Gram Parsons, also i love it when Prince does the Purple Rain solo live....gets me everytime...Prince's" i could never take the place of your man"from the Sign o the Times album has one mean solo too..though it does sound very 80's now...Nearly every Hotclub in Cowtown song has a top solo...theres millions of others, gonna have to get my thinking cap on.
OH YEAH.....forgot Eric Clapton's and Robbie Robertsons solo in the Last Waltz i love the expressions on their faces...one of the best things about the last waltz is the fun they are having..Rick Danko smile when Ronnie Hawkins is singing is priceless.
Mine would be the song Untitled#2 on John Frusciante's solo debut Niandra LaDes and usually just a t-shirt, wich is a 5 minute song consisting of an accoustic guitar playing chords and rythm and an electric guitar playing a solo backwards. It's awesome.
And then there's Patrick's hilarious live drum solo on 'Steam engine', but that's another topic... :)
Please add Sweet Child O Mine to my list!
QuotePlease add Sweet Child O Mine to my list!
Welcome, my brother!
Just shoving this up the list to try and get a reply to my Rory Gallagher question.
Are the US posters aware of the mans work? Was he big over there? He probably toured more than anyone ever (even more than MMJ!). Top class guitarist - electric/acoustic/slide/mandolin.
Word?
Not from USA, and I'm not so familiar with the man's work, though I love cranking up songs like moonchild or seventh son of a seventh son on a regular basis!
Definitely intersted in hearing more... Any hints on where I should get started?
That man ROCKS
for some reason I thought that guy did "children of the sun"
Anything by Doug Martsch
Anything from Robert Quine's Lou Reed days (specifically Waves of Fear - will make you intentionally wreck your car if too loud)
Anything by Leo Kottke - every song's one big solo
Wow, big props for mentioning Leo Kottke. What an awesome artist.
Robert Quine, didn't he die from a heroin overdose last year? That's pretty sad.
I think he also played guitar with Richard Hell and the Voidoids in the 70's. Anybody remember their classic punk single Blank Generation? Check it out!

Taste - Same Old Story, Catfish (especially a live version), What's Going On, Sugar Mama (again, look for a live version)
Rory Gallagher - One of his best albums I think is 'Live in Europe' (its old, but still available). It has such classics as Pistol Slapper Blues, Going to My Hometwown and Bullfrog Blues.
I am a sucker for live albums, I much prefer them to studio albums and the Live in Europe basically showcases him at his very best. He was staggering live. Saw him dozens (honestly) of times. Very under rated.
Due to wandering backwards in time thinking about this, I've just ordered the Best of Taste. Can't wait.
Hope this helps.
Thanks, i'll try to search something out!
A couple people mentioned Free Bird by Skynyrd, particularly the end of it. Are you being sarcastic? That's possibly the lamest solo in rock history. "deedle dee deedle dee deedle dee deedle dee...." It's finger exercises. So is the solo in One Big Holiday, for that matter. Skynyrd's 'I Ain't The One', though, has one of the best classic rock solos I've ever heard.
Yeah, but a lot of guitar solos are excercizes with personalization to them, right? Like, there's only so many ways you can make the notes go really fast, and it's all about what you've learned. Sometimes you go into zone mode and just play whatever comes into your fingers, and sometimes you've planned it out...
And, damn me if the One Big Holiday beginning bit isn't really effin' hard to get the hang of.
(The 2nd part should give you the clue that I actually don't know what I'm talking about in the first part.)
Well, if the solo in One Big Ho is just a finger exercise:
Goddamn, I love that finger exercise!

I have to disagree. I think there is quite a bit of soul involved in those "finger excercises". The solos on Freebird and One Big Holiday are both certifiably "MIND BLOWING". If you don't recognize that then you need to try listening with a more OPEN MIND, or something.
Can someone please explain how you post an image in your message? Thanks,

Free Bird and One Big Holiday Rule!
[glb]WORD!!!!!!!!!!!!![/glb]

If you guys can't find boring, repetitive sections in both those solos you are more sycophantic than you'll care to admit. Instead of giving me the finger, why wouldn't you say something about the music itself?
Listen to the solos in I Ain't The One and Free Bird and then tell me which one has personality and which one is mostly ridiculous. There are good parts to Free Bird, but I just think the "watch how fast I can deedle dee dee" part is lame, especially considering what Allen Collins was capable of playing.
I suppose you're next going to tell me you've never shaken your head at any MMJ lyrics?
HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM, Let's see, How should I put this?........................................................................................................................................................................................OH, Yeah
(http://images.google.com/images?q=tbn:8_4Cylqv1GAJ:www.bol.ucla.edu/~akullar/Alexi_Middle_Finger.jpg)
No seriously, Which MMJ lyrics do you think are lame? Top Five. Let's hear them.
QuoteI suppose you're next going to tell me you've never shaken your head at any MMJ lyrics?
Ummm, dangerous territory dude...
Honey, I've shaken my head to MMJ lyrics, but I don't think we're talking about the same thing...
QuoteNo seriously, Which MMJ lyrics do you think are lame? Top Five. Let's hear them.
So, instead of just replying like a normal person you post two pictures that essentially say "Fuck You". I guess that's sort of funny - you would be more polite in person.
You asked me which MMJ lyrics I think are lame. From 'Old September Blues', I think "all alone at the end of the day. really tired it's time to hit the hay" sounds like he threw together a rhyme at the last minute.
From 'The Dark', this section is just...dumb:
"its called THE DARK. its not a sunny day for the dark. let in the dark, then you you can sleep and fuck and park. let in the dark, it's not another day for the dark. let in the dark, then you can sleep and move and park." In case anyone missed it, it's called the dark.
From 'My Car':
"i asked where you go'd,
and you said where you went" Go'd?
"bought you big houses and payed all the rent" Why is he paying all the rent for houses that he bought? Maybe a mortgage payment, but not rent. A song as beautiful as this one deserves better words.
From 'They Ran':
"somebody stole my lighter. and where it go'd is higher" There's that "go'd" again. I'm not asking for Shakespeare, but go'd?
From 'Lowdown':
"So love, dawg, can't you see?" Dawg? Is Dude going to be on the next album? How about Homey?
From 'I Will Sing You Songs':
"stories of the greater years...fill your heart and soul with beer" I don't think "beer" fits the mood of the song.
From 'Steam Engine':
"your skin looks good in moonlight" This one bugs me because it comes at the best part of the best song on the album, in my opinion. Couldn't her skin do something in the moonlight other than "look good"? That line is surrounded by a bunch of really good ones, so it sticks out out like a sore thumb.
Before you give me the finger again, sweatboard, - which you're obviously going to do, being the wit that you are - understand that I'm not saying all of MMJ's lyrics are lame, or that I could have done so much better at the age Jim James was when these lyrics were written. I'm just saying that some really, really good songs could have been a lot better had there been some more thought about the words. I actually think a lot of the lyrics are excellent, and they've gotten better on each album; it's just that the band is fallible, like any other band. Having said that, I'd listen to Jim James sing just about anything.
And for the record, the Free Bird solo still sucks.
For the record......

Wit.
I have to admit I'd rather hear "On the hunt" or I ain't the one" anyday over "Free-overplayed-bird"
'Board--is that you in the the bird flipping pics?
No that's not me Fanatic.
I can't friggin wait to hear what MMJ does with Freebird in Elizabethtown. As much as I've heard it requested, I've never actually heard anyone cover it. I don't think anyone has the balls to try and hang with that solo much less try and top it.
I appreciate you posting those lyrics you had a problem with Complainer. I have to admit that I've wondered the same thing about "Love Dawg". As for "your skin looks good in the moonlight" I have to say I can't Imagine another line being as good there. As for Jim's lyrics, I just enjoy the images they paint in my head. If you sit and try and disect everything you kind of kill it. Kind of like when you take your friend to see a movie and all he does is sit there and say things like "oh my god that's so fake" or "Yeah right, that'd happen in real life". Well no kidding, but the fun of it all is the suspending all that shit for a few moments and getting lost in the story.
Most of those lyrical selections were from earlier songs as well. The group has obviously evolved as they have went.
Quote
From 'Lowdown':
"So love, dawg, can't you see?" Dawg? Is Dude going to be on the next album? How about Homey?
I thought that line was "So loved up, can't you see?" for so long that it's what's in my head when I hear the song. Is he calling her a dog? That's a really offensive thing to call a woman here.
HA! No, I think it's a term of endearment. Whoever he's referring to is his "love dawg". And dog is spelled differently in order to confirm that it's meant in a nice way. (See sweatboard's sig line for future reference...)
Also, for the longest time, I thought he was saying "lowdown". Like, "[I'm] so [lowdown], can't you see?"
I remember being very, very surprised when I saw it was love dawg. (I love the way hellaciousc pronounces "daawwwwwwg" in his rendition of Lowdown.)
I agree whole heartedly--dawg is a definite term of endearment as applied here
Complainer,
"By My Car" has some of my favorite MMJ lyrics. I didn't get it at first - I shook my head, especially at that buying houses and paying rent bit. BUT I think Jim is assuming a narrative voice. Like when Faulkner writes as Benjy thinks in _Sound and the Fury_, he (Faulkner) sounds less intelligent than he is, b/c Benjy is retarded.
Maybe you're not from the south, but down here there are a lot of folks who talk like the narrator of 'By my car'. Also, after he asks her where she "go'd", the mean girl corrects his fucking grammar - "you said where you went"
I think he does this (assumes a voice - often an "average guy" voice) in other songs, as well. I think it's happening in "Old Sept. Blues", where the dude has a weird accountant's view of love "never were a drawback, always were an asset."
'Course, this is just my own damn opinion. I may be right or wrong.
I don't think you deserved the finger, though. I think (hope) that was just joking. Sweatboard's cool. We got drunk together virtually. ;D
Yeah, I enjoyed the stuff that complainer brought up, I thought he shared his oppinion in a pleasent manner and had some interesting things to say, I was of course just having some fun, no malice on this end. ;) But Freebird still fucking rocks. Speaking of Free-Bird...................

Thanks for your post, Tundra. I hadn't even considered that she was correcting his grammar. That's a great way of reading those lines. The idea that she is more "cultured" than he is makes sense, considering both your comment and the fact that she apparently moves to Los Angeles, the "big city" (although I'd take southern honesty over L.A. bullshit any day, if I can stereotype for a second). I'm kind of leaning toward the notion of Jim assuming a voice in some songs, especially since I've gone on ten-minute raves to my girlfriend about how good certain lines are. I've always been confused about how Jim could write such great lines and then commit such stinkers to wax, but I have to admit that I'm overly picky about some things.
As for "The Sound and The Fury", that was...well, not an easy read, at least until I got a sense of the characters. Actually, it wasn't easy then either, but I'm glad I got through it.
Damnit to hell, I swear that image was up for a while. Did anyone see it?
At any rate this has turned out to be a great dialogue on Jim's lyrics. I never really thought he said "go'd". I always thought he said "Where You'd go". I have to say "By My Car" has always been one of my favorites. But you have brought up a good point Complainer about her moving on to a more "cultured" environment. I play this song on my guitar quite a bit and I always seem to give out a little angry laugh after the lines "and you said where you went"
The fact that the song just seems like it was written on the spot is what I love about it the most. It just seems like an immediate reaction that had to occur and there just happened to be a guitar around.
