THE BEST guitar solo in a classic rock song.
 

Without a doubt is Freebird. it's a 5 minutes long, and is so ****ing good. So what do you think is the best classic rock solo?

stairway is pretty hot

Led Zep- Since I've Been Loving You

orgasmo

thats my second choice, I dunno Freebird just blows my mind.

Also, Eruption by Van Halen is sweet, I just think it's a tad bit too short. :-\

are they considered classic rock though?

I SAID CLASSIC ROCK, GEEZ!

Why is freebird not noteworthy?

Brian May...Brighton Rock...

Especially the like 40+minute versions he did live.

Generally, I don't go for super-long solos, it's just that there's a lot of awesome shit in the live versions that didn't see through on the record.

Metal Elitist. DUH!

Oh :shifty:

BTW, best solo ever?

Blink 182 - "Dammit"

:shifty:

I don't even know if it actually has a solo :$

Yeah it has a "solo" that consists of like 4 notes. :cool:

:cool:

I like the solo in Bohemian Rhapsody. First one that came to mind. Nothing revolutionary I guess.

Free Bird

Mostly because it's long and it gets me pumped up.

Back In Black by AC/DC

Well, in So. Cal, they play them on classic rock stations. So... I guess. They've been around long enough to be. Since '79..... I think.

Oh shit, forgot about Texas Flood by Stevie Ray Vaughan. Blues=jizz.

Sweet child O Mine or Allright Now

Classic Hair Metal? :?:

Maybe opinions will have changed or newbs like me have an opinion on this.

I love Eruption, but my favourite guitar solo is from Hotel California. Nothing spectacular, but it just fits so well with the song, much like the guitar solo on Freebird.

Freebird that solo is fucking sick. Hotel California is pretty awesome too.

The guitar solo on Light my Fire was pretty good too.

Hotel California. That's it.

Hotel California.

While the "solo" part of Layla isn't very long, the guitar work throughout is so phenomenal it gets an honorable mention from me.

Freebird

MISSISSIPPI QUEEN

Hotel California - The Eagles

November Rain - Guns N' Roses

Ride On - AC/DC (RIP Bon Scott)

I'm So Afraid - Fleetwood Mac (From the concert album "The Dance")

I Can't Tell You Why - The Eagles (Slow song but the guitar solo near the end is awesome)

My favorites:

Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb (the live version from delecate sound of thunder is even better)
Pink Floyd - Time
Pink Floyd - Dogs
Led Zeppelin - Stairway to Heaven
Led Zeppelin - No Quarter
Jimi Hendrix - All Along the Watchtower
The Eagles - Hotel California
Van Halen - Eruption
Neil Young - Cortez the Killer
Guns N' Roses - November Rain
Jeff Beck - Since We've Ended As Lovers

:( da_king :(

Eruption, no. Tapping is gay

I wouldn't go that far, Miz, but Eruption is definitely not one of classic rock's best solos.
