I got as far as reading the stupid comment for Peter Frampton and closed the page. This list is asinine.

C.C. Deville always gets picked on for this particular solo, sure the solo is crap but I will give him props for having the balls to release it without overdubbing it, plus I have heard worse solos.

Wango Tango is meant to be a b.s. song, so it only requires a simple riff not Beethoven's 5th and IMO this one Ted Nugent's final classics.

Mick Taylor bailed on the Stones because Mick Jagger and Keith Richards allow no input into the song writing process for their albums, and if you ever heard one of Mick Taylor's solo albums you can see why.

Greg Ginn of Black Flag is not Eddie Van Halen and a guitar solo on the level of Van Halen would sound silly in a hard core band, his guitar work sounds fine the way it is on that song.

Usually I agree with Guitar World's list but this one not so much. I do agree with some of the choices but for the most part I feel the writer was just trying to generate a reaction from the readers.

I agree. CC must have had an off nite... or year but I always thought he had some tasty solos on the studio stuff.

I always thought that Neil Youngs Cinnamon Girl contained the worst solo. When I was a wee lad just taking up the guitar and not even having the major chords down yet I told my teacher that I wanted to learn a solo. I was hoping for perhaps a Neil Schon passage or even something from Ace Frehley instead I was given Cinnamon Girl. Teachers intuition!

CC is an easy target, but in reality, he's a pretty talented guitar player. The problem is that he's so all over the place and hopped up on goofballs that you'd never know it.

Quite a number of the songs don't deserve to be on the list (twisted sister - we're not gonna take it? come on! Ace? no way? The Nuge? He'll hunt down the author with his cross bow!)

Some of the comments where funny on the songs that I think suck anyway.

As far as CC, I never thought he was that great of a guitarist, but live he's running around and jumping around so much, he misses notes, etc, etc. But, if you are going to a Poison show, you don;t expect them to stand around looking bored, you wouldn't feel like you where getting your money's worth!

Laughing very hard I agree who made this list? Some of these songs don;t even have solos in them. KORN Y'all want a single has no solo, since when was a riff a solo.

the worst solo of all time is Psycho Killer from the Talking Heads

Some of the solos they list are just "breakdowns," not actual solos.

I think they expect every solo to be as great and technical as Hot for Teacher or Tornado of Souls. Sometimes songs don't warrant the epic solo.

That Manowar bass solo isn't bad. Its just fast and occasionally irritating to hear.

I have read that he also left because he thought he would die hanging with keith. Heroin was a huge problem with Mick T. & Keith. IT was probably a combination of both........

The 6 years or so that Taylor was in the Stones are my favorite ERA by far.
