M.O.B.E Posted August 3, 2005 Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 168. Nun Chuka Kata - Buckethead177. Stash - Trey Anastasio (Phish)215. Truckin - Jerry Garcia (Grateful Dead)how is it that Buckethead beat Jerry and Trey??? neither Jerry or Trey made it to the 100 live guitar solo's that only lists 50 solos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted August 3, 2005 Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 I think the list was made by some 80's metal-head still living in their parent's basement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.O.B.E Posted August 3, 2005 Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 maybe we should all band together and send him our old tapes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velvet Posted August 3, 2005 Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 I won't look at the list unless it lists the My Sharona (album version) solo in the top five.In my opinion that's the best rock guitar solo ever, although almost everything Jimmy Page did could arguably be the greatest rock guitar solo ever too.

It's so irritating when My Sharona was re-released and re-edited in the 90's without the solo. Jeff Beck could make-up the top 10 with his worst solos.

bradm Posted August 3, 2005 Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 I wish they had included "Another Nail For My Heart" by Squeeze. I love how it pops up unexpectedly after the first verse, and then rips it completely, blowing your hair back in the process. For thin-leather-tie new wave, it was a rarity to hear such a good solo, and I still like it.Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Velvet Posted August 3, 2005 Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 I spent three months on the My Sharona solo, much to the chagrin of Howler and Sloth, who lived downstairs from me at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted August 3, 2005 Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 Was it Coney Hatch? I found an article in the Queen's Journal that seems to indiciate it's one of theirs.Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velvet Posted August 3, 2005 Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 Thank you Mr. m, it was Coney Hatch. They were all big jazz fans that started a rock band. The solo is OUT THERE, and is totally inappropriate for a rock tune, and I freakin' love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peipunk Posted August 3, 2005 Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 The solo on Monkey Bars is a rocked up shredder version of Donna Lee!!! Surely you knew that Velvet? And Can o' Phish used to work with the guy who played it, a great fella named Steve Shelski. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velvet Posted August 3, 2005 Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 It's been years since I heard the tune, but deep down I think I knew that.Thanks punk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyRage Posted August 3, 2005 Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 How is Larry Lalonde from Primus so far down (164 and 176)? It would seem like they are confusing most popular with greatest with some of the top 100 (Stairway), but others are really good choices (Cortez the Killer for example - but so much Neil Young).
