....this may change 5 minutes from now....but...( and I'm gonna cheat by making some ties )

1 ) Randy Rhoads - I don't know, crazy train, Mr crowely

2 ) Vivian Campbell - rainbow in the dark, last in line

3 ) Eddie VH - ice cream man, and ( awe, too many to mention )

4 ) Angus Young - too many to mention

5 ) Yngwie Malmsteen - I'll see the light tonight


I picked them not so much on purely technical ability ( that's certainly there of course ), but on feeling as well. And like I said, this will probably change.

1: Larry Farkas- The solo from Can't Get Out on the Once Dead album
2: Herman Li & Sam Totman- Fury of The Storm by Dragon Force
3: Marty Friedman- Hangar 18 by Megadeth
4: Tourniquet- Healing Waters Of The Tigris (Not sure if this was Marty Friedman or not, but it sounds like it)
5: Power Quest- Diamond Sky

I picked mine based on my personal taste/feeling. That first one always gets my head banging like nothing else. Metal 1

It's hard for me to judge only the guitar solo. Here are songs I love that the solo is at least one of the best parts.
Judas Priest - "Beyond the Realms of Death" (you get two here!)
UFO - "Love to Love"
Metallica - "One"
Deep Purple - "Highway Star"
Procol Harum - "In Held Twas In I: Grande Finale" (if you're a fan of Roger Waters, this must have been his inspiration)

I thought I was the only guy in the universe who bagged on the "Der Fuhrer" solo!  I must've mentioned it here years ago and you took my lead.  Smile

I've always thought that Flotsam guitar solos were pretty sloppy. That intro for the song mentioned was a perfect example of that.

Yeah, I probably heard you mention it on the old boards.

I should've included "Highway Star" it is a land mark solo.
