I've always loved the Gutter Ballet solo. Hounds is my second choice.

I've always loved the Ghost In The Ruins solo, but I wouldn't say it's my favourite. I wouldn't be able to pick a favourite actually.
Oh, and

I could never choose just one, all of Criss' solos are just too good for me to choose from.

Almost went with Gutter Ballet, but I chose Edge of Thorns.

the way edge of thorns starts with a lil flash, builds and buillds, and then he takes off is really well crafted. It fits the song well...which a good solo should do.

Seriously though, I did just choose it randomly because picking a favorite is damn near impossible. Every Criss solo moves me in different ways and compacting that into even a top 20 would also be near impossible.

Power Of The Night should be on that list.

Hounds does indeed rule. That may have been his first epic solo he ever did.

Do you hear the hounds they call Scan the dark, eyes aglow Through the bitter rain and cold They hunt you down, hunt you down

I went on a binge and listened to alot of "Tage this week end.... from Sirens to Thorns and I feel that Criss is one of the most under-rated players EVER

I'm glad I chose that one because I listened to that song last night and while doing air guitar I had no idea what he was doing. The man's playing was unbelieveable.

Yeah, it's always been one of my faves, too, what with the late great RAY GILLEN singing backing vocals on that track!
