Jerry Cantrell - Whale And Wasp



Jar of Flies/ Sap is deadly but Whale and Wasp is a cunt of a song, the main reason being that fucking gimpy solo  :laugh:

Never thought it was gimpy at all. Swing On This was the only low point on Jar Of Flies. It's an otherwise flawless release. Lots of Cantrell examples could be applied to this thread too.

Good call. Jaded was the first song that came to my mind.

Whole song is lethal but solo is from 4:20 and lasts forever lol

Inter Arma "The Paradise Gallows" is also a fuckin ridiculously good song with a lovely slowly from 6:37


Rakes more I will think of later

Beat me to it with Moby but it's the first one that comes to mind here. There's definitely rakes of these yeah some great stuff in the thread already

Yup, amazing solo. Have you listened to Falling Deeper, the sorta remix album? The leads on that are like the one above played by Dave Gilmour. Never understood the phrase, he can make the guitar sing, til I heard this album.

Good call on Judgement era Anathema

Also worth a mention is Woody Weatherman on Goodbye Windows

Dunno if it counts as 'solo' as much just a riff because it's a repeated motif over a long time, but it is a lead, and it's stuck with me, when it slows down at kicks in right at 4:40. Hook that shit to my veins.

"Confusion" by Alice in Chains

Solo in "Gemini" by Slayer. It's slow by their standards and really intriguing.
