Riff or solo. Two completely different things.

That was the first song I thought of. Saw Pink Floyd in LA doing The Wall in it's entirety. David Gilmore standing on top of the wall doing the solo of Comfortably Numb was mind blowing. My friend thought he saw God


My_secretlife_6

💯 correct! I love that you said this. I totally agree and it’s never mentioned enough


Kickmaestro

War Pigs outro

This is a bit obscure but Frank Zappa’s, “fuck yourself” is pretty amazing. Great guitar. Gary Moore’s “Still got the Blues for you” is damn good too.


Kickmaestro

Black Rose is better I think and too few knew that Gary Moore wrote those guitar parts of that Thin Lizzy song

Crazy train solo. What embodies rock more?


North_Mongoose_6487

I think the solo in mr crowley is even better


[deleted]

Sweet Child of Mine solo. It legit sounds like a singer and not a guitar.


PORTOGAZI

I’m gonna go full Stairway to Heaven here. Or Layla.

Free Bird - Lynyrd Skynyrd


Tejodor_TheSecond

Got tix to see him in March!


Gobucks21911

Jealous! Saw him in the Ah Via Musicom tour :) Would love to see him again.


North_Mongoose_6487

I saw him on that tour as well. That was probably my first EJ show


Gobucks21911

I’m super bummed he’s skipping the PNW (so far) this tour. Can’t afford to travel to a show out of the state. 😞


North_Mongoose_6487

Would you believe he’s playing a grade school concert hall here in phoenix. It’s a nice school but I did a double take when I saw the venue


Gobucks21911

Whaaaaat? :( More people need to know about this musical genius!


North_Mongoose_6487

Yeah…this is the place. Madison Center fir the Arts. https://www.themadison.org/ He played the crescent ballroom last time. A nice small intimate venue. Wish he was there again.


MindySins

Such a tough one, personally I think Hot For Teacher if we were gunna go with a Van Halen tune. That bluesy break into the band coming in is just so badass.

Only the Young - journey imo


cosmic_gospel

Kevin Ayers - ["Lunatics Lament"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-TmQVFlDV60), 1970 It's a dark horse candidate, but it's an undeniably amazing solo that has unfortunately not received the attention it deserves. It starts at about 1:45 into the song, btw, but it works better if you listen to the whole song.


[deleted]

And how does one judge the best solo?


DiscoDale81

Rock Bottom -UFO


cripplr-mr-onion

Randy Rhodes, Mr Crowley Best solo in rock history


[deleted]

Saga, On The Loose


Odd_Investigator3137

Specifically? Terry Kath live at Englewood 1970 playing 25 6 or 4. Youtube it, you won't regret it.


wealthybigpenis42069

Crossroads riff as well as solo, Eddie would tell you the same
