I'm going to have to lower the tone and mention Zakk Wylde's lead in Bridge To Cross. That guitar is weeping.
Wearing jeans and leather, not crackerjack clothes

Great call, killer track, very happy listening to the whole album now  :abbath:


Judas Priest - Run of the mill 3.44


I watched a video of AIC playing Would? with James Hetfield singing. The solo in that song is perfect. Slow, dark and moody as hell.

Estranged/Coma and some other Guns N' Roses solos instantly came to mind. But 2 that haven't been mentioned that always stuck out in my head when listening to these songs many moons ago ->

2:51 ->


2:13 ->


A couple of people rightly mentioned Comfortably Numb - Lovelorn Crime could be considered Opeth's Comfortably Numb...


Another Opeth one while I'm at it, from their incredible latest album, A Story Never Told is kind of in the same vein as the one above...


Mastodon's Gigantium is a slow song.  Not sure if that makes Brent Hinds' cracker at the end a slow solo, but I'll include it here just in case...



Like Suicide from Superunknown...






Four bangers there, although I'm so used to the Swedish version of In Cauda Venenum, I got confused when he started singing in English  :laugh:

This springs to mind. "Chills" as they say

Don't get me started on that English/Swedish version thing.  I'm a Lovelorn Crime guy all the way, while 100% in the Allting Tar Slut camp if you catch my drift.
