the solo that got you bangin' forever

A lot of the older guys here on the board grew up with classic bands like Aerosmith, Accept, Motorhead, Ted Nugent, ETC. ETC. ETC...


Now, I want you to think back to when you were a kid (or teenager)..you are listening to some rock song..,and suddenly this blistering composition of high tones attack your ears..yes, you have just discovered the GUITAR SOLO - You think it's the coolest thing on the planet, and it gets you banging around the room, and from that day and..BANG! - Your head has not stopped banging since.

..What was that solo, for you?


Mine was the solo for "Rabalderstraede", which is a song from the Danish rock band, Gasolin'

Don't Talk To Strangers - Dio

Well i always liked Sweet Child o' Mines solo and ZZ Tops La Grange solos when i was younger..

Slayer - Angel Of Death

Cemetary gates - Pantera
Serpent Moves - Coroner
How will i Laugh - Suicidal Tendencies
Crying in the Rain - Whitesnake
Sunlit Nights - Racer X

"the solo that got you bangin' forever"

Really. You actually speak this way?

Judas Priest - Sinner
Judas Priest - Painkiller

I've stopped banging many times, so I guess none.

Uncle Saxon loves that one too.

I don't remember any one solo in particular, but it was probably something on Appetite for Destruction. That album was my introduction to heavy metal.

Yep. In 1988 MG and I first heard Apettite and were blown away!!!!!! Remember that, buddy?

Axl is GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Like it was yesterday. We were painting our toe-nails, listening to Debbie Gibson's Electric Youth when you said, "Hey, just for a goof, let's put on this album. You handed me Appetite..., the needle on my Fisher-Price record player dropped, and well, like they say, the rest is history. Good times, my friend. Good times indeed.

Why do so many of the titles hear have a double entendre sound? I read this title and want to say, I Dream of Genie.
Musically it would be Crazy Train.

^Me too. Heard Crazy Train on the radio back in the very early 80's and have been a metalhead ever since!

The solo from Ozzy's "Little Doll's" tune off Diary of a Madman.

I think Detroit Rock City had the first solo that really stuck in my head.

"Where did you learn to talk like that? Some Panama City sailor-wanna-hump-hump-bar? Or is it getaway day and your last chance at his whiskey? Sell crazy some where else, we're all stocked up here!"

Statesboro Blues- the opening song on Allman Brothers at Fillmore East

Metallica-Enter Sandman

First metal song, first guitar solo I noticed.

I live near Panama City. What are those lyrics from?

For me it was the solo pictorial of Madonna in Penthouse back in like '85.

Eruption. I was left awestruck after that.

Ace Frehley's solo in Shock Me

It's a line from one of my 5 favorite movies ever - As Good As It Gets.

Melvin Udal is referring to Panama City, Panama in that one.

Deep Purple - Smoke on the Water!

Everyone talks mostly about the opening riff, but it's the solo that has stuck w/ me the most over the years. Peace.
