  • George Lynch was in contention with Randy Rhoads to play with Ozzy.  He ended up with Dokken instead, seen them in concert with Judas Priest, mid 80s. \\m//

    Lynch was terrific, too. That hair was something, wasn’t it?

  • I've pretty much buried my big hair pics.  Don't even know what I was thinking, but it was fun. :)

  • YES, YES, BIG YES.    I love Mike McCready with them and in Mad Season, and this one and Black are my two favorite PJ songs.

  • Not guitar, but resonant chamber. :)

    Slash is good. 
    I forgot to post this one earlier. Cannot leave out Metallica when talking guitar solos.

  • If we are going to talk solos, I have to include Zep's For Your Life, which begins around 4:12 or so.

  • One more:    Candlemass ft. Tony Iommi (Black Sabbath for those hiding under a rock all these years), Astrolus, has a great solo that begins somewhere around 2:51:

    My idea of a favourite guitar solo - makes me quiver all over with pleasure...

    (I love "Comfortably Numb"  -- I know I've said it before, but it's my favorite song on that album. The lyrics kill me -- especially the end part about catching a fleeting glimpse, turning to look but it was gone,  I cannot put my finger on it now, the child is grown the dream is gone. And the part about "a distant ship's smoke on the horizon."  That image is so haunting to me within the context of the song lyrics.)



    This probably doesn't count as a guitar solo but I love the opening 28 seconds of this song. Three separate-to-me parts within those 28 seconds.

    I know I already posted an answer two days ago but driving home from work tonight, "Comfortably Numb" came on the radio and while listening, by the end, during the guitar solo, I started tearing up, sitting in my driveway after pulling in.
    It's such a beautiful song that works on many levels for me. And the instrumental background orchestration is so great for me - - sounds like almost a full orchestra behind the group.

    It's definitely up there, no doubt. Another contender is Jimmy Page's solo on Stairway to Heaven.

    And talking about Heaven. This solo sounds heavenly. 

    Solo starts at 1:25

    I never tire of hearing that song ("Stairway to Heaven").

    I've not paid attention to Oasis songs. Hearing this lead singer, I now think there are some other songs out there that I like but didn't know they were by Oasis. I like his style of singing and his voice. And I like their "sound/ style."
    I recognize this guy's singing voice. I don't have any specific song titles in my mind; I just know this voice.
