freebird is the most pointlessly drawn-out redundant solo in the history of popular music

I haven't decided but it's probably something of Trey's, if not Hendrix.

domination is admittedly one of my least favorite albums on the whole as far as MA is concerned, but it without question has the best leads. that one, and dominate, are just holyfuckingshit amazing i just don't even know what to do with myself

zim · Post by **zim** » 18 Apr 2009, 10:49

i wonder what domination would sound like with steve tucker vocals..

jawn galliano · Post by **jawn galliano** » 18 Apr 2009, 10:54

it's like two notes hammered-on/pulled-off/bent for three minutes straight

whatever they were trying to say with that solo, could have been summed up in a tenth of the time they took.

you've clearly taken the notion of open-mindeness to some absurd conclusion or another. the freebird solo is absolutely fucking moronic, try grounding yourself in reality for a fraction of a second, and you'll understand that.

cat hallucination · Post by **cat hallucination** » 18 Apr 2009, 12:15

i have a hard time deciding about my favorite band, album, riff, etc. but, i'm absolutely sure that the free bird solo is the best rock solo in the history of the universe. any theoretical explanation about why its not good just sucks. every hook, every two repeated two notes, simple blues licks, and trills are just masterfully soulfull fucking melodies. thats right, i said melodies. its a friggin explosion of melodies, the antithesis to what a typical solo is about, like bla bla bla exploration and letting go of structure. but that doesn't even matter, since the point of the matter is its absolutely fucking awesome. there's no point in trying to get it through to you. go do some math.

i hope that one day, you will look back on this and understand that people like you are the reason that western society is decaying.

"go do some math?" that's supposed to be an insult? a slight? as if mathematics are somehow bad?

why don't you just cut to the fucking chase and reveal how much of a complete and utter fucking moron you are: "HURRRRRRRRRR BIG WORDS BIG WORDS HAHA YOU SAID BIG WORDS"

'tis a good "other choice"

and to continue in a Nile fashion: "Cast Down the Heretic"

also, there's an album that should be mentioned every time the word "solo" is invoked for it is one of the supreme manifestations of said musical aspect: Brutality "Screams of Anguish"

King Crimson - Larks Tongue in Aspic part III

that whole song might as well just be a guitar solo.

oh and tied for first is of course Morbid Angel - Covenant of Death. but thats a given

Word, I'm not even a big fan of the band but I jizzed my pants when I heard Thor was gonna be touring with MA.

All the leads on Domination kick ass, but I have to give it to the solo on Invocation to a continual one. That's just way too much awesomeness.

Both solos in Invocation of the continual one fuckin slay, but my all time fave would have to be a cryptopsy one, maybe slit your guts or Benedictine convulsions.

I'm a sucker for the Floods solo too.

there was this local blackened death metal band called Scaphism (who are broken up now, a real pity.) who seriously had some of the best guitar solo's i've ever heard.

their guitar player is playing for Infernaeon now

I always skip it while playing this track, boring as f*ck. Good vocals though

ANGEL OF DESEASE · Post by **ANGEL OF DESEASE** » 20 Apr 2009, 23:45

mmmmm a lot of solos are amazing

rising force - yngwie malmsteen

the number of the beast - maiden

stairway to heaven- zeppelin

beyond the realms of death - j priest ( this is great really)

a lot from first maiden,malmsteen,first priest etc.

mmmmm classics

in extreme metal don't know. Slayer solos are only chaos. Trey's ones are good but anyway is a lot of effects and floyd rose imo.

don't know a cool solo in extreme metal

This thread made me realize how little I pay attention to solos anymore. They seem so inconsequential in light of other things.

I guess the best answer I can give is the barely audible melody at around 1:00 in Converge - The Broken Vow, and the recurring melody at about 0:45 in Jane Doe

Abzu · Post by **Abzu** » 22 Apr 2009, 10:42
