Favorite Solo by Guitarist!!

I always thought that the solo to In My Dreams was pretty tasty. I like how it starts off slow and gives the payoff at the end.

Love his staccato sixteenths in the first section...

Lynch is impressive but his solos just nvr click for me. Some are outstanding but in that genre there are just other guitar players I prefer.

This is pretty cool. I used to have this video and studied it mercilessly.

Cheating time. I believe it is played by Lynch, but written by Tony.

Interesting. I've not heard any MacAlpine for some unknown reason. He's another one we should cover in this thread sometime. But yes George is great there. Time for me to go shopping...

^ Check out what he does on 'Universe' and 'Moonbabies' by Planet X, with Derek Sherenian and Virgil Donati.


(NOT TO DERAIL THREAD NOT TO DERAIL THREAD)

JOHN NORUM.. One of the most criminally underrated guitarists EVER!!!

Good 'ol John, forgot about him. Not a fan of Europe, though, but very much a fan of his work. Honestly, most of what I know outside of Final Countdown is Don Dokken's equally underrated solo album. As for my favorite solo...



You all can thank me later for the half-naked chicks.

(as an aside, found this oddity while looking up the above video. Bizarre...)

Fav Norum solo with Europe... Heart of Stone..



Fav solo on his solo record.. Spirit World

When I think of Europe the only thing that pops into my mind is the unbelievably cheesy keyboard intro to The Final Countdown and the puke-inducing "made for high school dances" ballad Carrie. I don't even remember the guitarist.

Before all that there was this great band that sounded like NWOBHV.. Check out their first two albums...

I thought that it was just a clip of the song Wings Of Tomorrow. Comment has been edited.  

That whole album does kick some ass!!!!!

NWOBHV?

New Wave of British Heavy Visage?

Now I have that f*cking intro to The Final Countdown stuck in my head. EUROPE CAN KISS MY ASS!

Don't understand the hate for Europe, I mean I don't really like them but I find it difficult to understand how people who love Hysteria can call them cheesy or poppy (again, they are but so are RATT, DL, Bon Jovi and others in their heyday)

I do really like the guitar solo on TFCD and think that it's a good pop song, sing it with me Shawn

DA DA DA DA!! DA DA DA DA DA!!  

I can't stand Hysteria, it is JUST as cheesy as The Final Countdown.

Solo in The Final Countdown is epic and SD listen to the album I posted. You will enjoy it

I've heard that album before, probably not since the 80s but I remember it.

Tony Iommi
