Well, I DID include Arpeggios for Hell by Yngwie up there but that's a pretty good solo too.

I've always loved "Hit the Lights", those multiple fake endings still trick me every time haha.

Skolnik's solo in "Return To Serenity" is the greatest solo ever written!

Eruption is not a guitar solo, imo. There's really no song structure to it at all. However, I still consider it the greatest 1 minute 42 seconds in music history.

Least you stand by that solo. It is a masterpiece

Metallica - Ride the Lightning

Judas Priest - Beyond the Realms of Death (both of them) (the outro would've sounded so cool with double-bass)

Slayer - Angel of Death

You have a good point my friend

probably one of Crowbar's

Eh, I don't know if it's the greatest in all metal, but I do love the soloing in Master of Puppets.

I don't know about that.
But it is a kickass solo.


ROCK ON!

Man, with that song cranked, that solo brings tears to my eyes. It is the perfect solo. Don't get me wrong, there are tons of amazing solos out there, but few come close to the solo in "Return To Serenity," if you ask me.

When a solo brings tears to your eyes it has to be one of the best. There are a few that do that to me.

Savatage - Follow Me

The most epic solo from the king of epic guitar solos.

This was the first solo that came to my mind too! Note-perfect all the way!

There are many, many solos that I enjoy every time I hear them.

Kiss - Shock Me (Ace rules! There's a live post-Kiss version of this too)
Nevermore - River Dragon, Born, and the acoustic solo in Deconstruction. Jeff Loomis is a freak of nature!
Pantera - Cemetery Gates. Not a huge Pantera fan, but this whole song makes my top 10.
Many more....

I agree. He's my favorite guitar-player of today.

The solos from the Mercyful Fate songs Evil and Night of the Unborn are amazing. Also the solos from the Anthrax song Panic off Armed and Dangerous is one of my favorites.

Megadeth - Tornado of Souls. Hands down.

Testament - Return To Serenity or Judas Priest - Beyond The Realms Of Death

Best solo in metal is the 2nd solo in 'Foreclosure of a dream' by Megadeth.

I've always loved the solo on Serpent Moves by Coroner.

Teenage Suicide- Emerald

There is a story behind the solo and it holds so much meaning
one of the most beautiful expressions of anger I've ever heard, really.
