What do you think is the greatest guitar solo in metal is?

- Judas Priest: Painkiller, Beyond the Realms of Death, Dreamer Deceiver
- Pantera: Cowboys from Hell, Walk
- Iron Maiden: Hallowed be thy Name, Powerslave
- Megadeth: Holy Wars, Ashes in your Mouth
- Nevermore: This Godless Endeavor, The Psalm of Lydia, River Dragon

"Through The Fire And Flames" by Dragonforce.

Don't care if it's sped up, don't care if it's stupid, all's I know is that it rules.

It is a great technical solo, but knowing that it has so much studio wankery on it makes it fake and unimpressive imo.

The list would be too long for me to compose it (I can't choose just one).

best solo in Rock? Led zeppelins stairway to heaven

http://www.mp3tube.net/musics/Bury-Your-Dead-Year-One/144399/

that solos by Mark Tremonti of Alter Bridge. The way that solo transforms the song is why it gets my vote as one of the best..

Best solos in my opinion are overplayed but still great:

Led Zeppelin-Stairway to Heaven (Jimmy Page's solo tells a story)
Pink Floyd-Comfortably Numb (Emotional solo from David Gilmour)
Ozzy Osbourne-Mr. Crowley (Randy Rhoads genius)
Deep Purple-Child in Time
Tommy Bolin-Post Toastee
Testament-Return to Serenity
and any solo by Jimi Hendrix
I could go on and on and on, I have left off Robby Krieger, Chuck from Death, and so many others, but I will add UFO-Rock Bottom (Schenker rules)

"On Your Feet" Shok Paris

It's at least my favorite right now.

Pantera-Walk
Primus-Mr. Knowitall
Quiet riot-Cum on feel the noize

I should make a special mention of "Wake Me Gently" solo from Dick Wagner and Steve Hunter on "Alice Cooper Goes to Hell" two very under rated guitar gods.

OK, I'm changing mine then. Thanks manny. My favorite now is the dual leads from Wagner and Hunter on the Welcome to My Nightmare DVD during "The Black Widow". Simply moving.

Return To Serenity- that solo kicks major ass

reminds of mercenary's -isolation

the song is just okay but the solo from 2:56-3:30 is beautiful

UGH, Adult Swim is really pandering to the lowest common denominator of society, don't ya think?

I always thought they were going a little lower then the lowest, gives 'em "credit" for being original

Don't really have a special favorite, but if I had to pick one it would be the two solos at the end of Megadeth's Lucretia.

Mudhoney - In 'N' Out Of Grace

Just so demented and caustic....it sounds like acid corroding sheet metal. An anti-guitar solo if there ever was one.

Beyond the Realms of Death by Priest is another awesome one

- crap!!! i already sad that one lol

Stryper - Surrender

Randy Rhoads - Mr Crowley
