I have every idea of how right I am.
Shredding and constant overuse of wah. "wow".

The outro solo from Mr Crowley, on the live Randy Rhoads Tribute CD, is, in my opinion, the best solo ever.

I don't see why Eruption gets so high in that list.

Most of it was copied from Mr Crowley by Ozzy Osbourne (with the excellent Randy Rhoads on the guitar, who made the famous solo in the first place...)

Edit: Just seen 'Crowley in the list, but its way further down then Eruption...

You have no idea how wrong you are.

Kirk Hammet's solos suck balls.

Metallica should be in the top 10, or at least the top 20 with something... Surely there's some sort of mistake...
