"Best Guitar solo"

My personal favourites are the ones in 'Devil and Daughter' by Black Sabbath, 'Disposable Heroes by Metallica, and 'Eruption' by Van Halen. Who disagrees?

My favourite solo is in Dry County by Bon Jovi. Go on, have a listen.

Yes, Ted, but I do not believe Wyld Stallyns can be triumphant until we have Eddie Van Halen on guitar.

Mmm, Sweet Child O' Mine, and Black Sabbath should have one in here, as well as Iron Miaden, maybe.

Does he have a face?

His insane amount of hair just seems to cover his head - On the odd occasion you might see a ciggarette "poking out the bush".

I wonder if it gets caught in his tuning pegs...

*wonders*

And he wears a damn cool hat, muha.

I think Slash is rated pretty highly in the top guitar work.

All of the solo's in GnR' tracks are totally awesome.

hmm... Jimmy Page, Dave Gilmour, Paul Gilbert... not the best, but I always had a thing for the end of Fat Old Sun by Pink Floyd, fantastic guitaring.

And Randy Rhoads immediately below Tony Iommi. They should both have been top 20, easily.

Another weird thing was that somehow Eddie van Halen was 70th, Angus Young was 98th and Tony Iommi was 86th.

How can these three be so low? Eddie van Halen is a genius (Hint: Eruption) and Tony Iommi invented the heavy metal riff, as well as doing many great solos.

It was also strange how Jack White and The dude with the unpronouncable surname from The Red Hot Chillipeppers were in the top 20. They're not exactly great. But apart from that, the list worked pretty well. :)
