Solos of Metal

Skip to 2 (sorry actually about 4 minutes and 40 seconds) minutes in and the rest will follow. Or just play the whole thing and wonder where he went wrong because by god did he go wrong with almost his whole career before and after this

Great tune. Caught a few lads off guard with that tune in the past when they realise it's moby

Always thought Psycho Holiday had the ultimate metal solo. There are other solos with more individual character, and other better solos in general, but just as a standard template of an archetypical absolutely rocking metal solo it's perfect.

Can only imagine how epic this must've sounded forty years ago.

Although King's and Hanneman's approach to soloing produced hit and miss results throuought their output, when it fits, my gosh, does it fit.

,,Seasons in the Abyss" being the prime example, ,,Gemini" being the one somehow overlooked. What is the best solo anyway? Is it the most flashy and technically advanced one, or is it one, which enhances the tune in a perfect way?

The solo at 1.30 that Zephyrous does, thats basically saying fuck off according to Fenriz haha

Totally agree - one of my favorite guitar players. Not the flashiest, but writes great melodies and solos to suit the tunes. Love the solo from Widow.
