Best Guitar Solos in a song?

[DeludedGuy]

Has to be a guitar solo in an actual song, not just a guitar solo.

I quite like

Deep Purple - Child in time
Jimi Hendrix - All along the watchtower
Metallica - One

[Skeps]

Pink Floyd - Mother, or pretty much any Pink floyd songs have awesome guitar solo's

[Knoxville]

Off the top of my head

'tallica - Master of puppets
chilli's - Californication (some question this but its the fact that he doesn't over play anything in it that makes it spot on for me)
Dire straits - Sultans of swing
Slayer - Angel of Death
The eagles - hotel california

plus anything by hendrix or srv

Janes addiction, been caught stealing for his miccing up a small amp @ 2'04 secs into the tune its only small bit but v good
BrOw

EDIT: there are loads of Janes solo's

[streetster]

micheal jackson - beat it
guns n roses - sweet child of mine

[Rave]

I reckon:

Judas Priest - Painkiller: two solos, both fabulous, and some awesome riffing in between.
Guns 'N Roses: Can't go wrong with Slash really, but the solo at the end of November Rain (where he walks out of the church in the middle of nowhere) is great, never has a guitar sounded so angry and hurt.
Bon Jovi- Damned: in the middle of one of the crappest albums ever comes a moment of pure guitar genius from Richie Sambora- I counted 11 notes in one second!
Fleetwood Mac- The Chain: for THE classic bass solo
Queen- Inuenndo(sp?): for the bit when Brian May plays the spanish guitar bit at full pelt Edit: Breakthru is wicked too- in fact whenever Brian May does his thing of playing harmonic tunes he freaking rules!!!

Think the riff is called "The Sanguine Article", it's in the song "The Sanguine Article" by Carcass.. really nice - could listen to it over and over.. I'd agree with Knox about Californication tho.. he could have so easily over done it, but instead plays with nice control

[starside]

can't belive nobody has said freebird by Lynrd Skynrd.

Also word up by Gun has a good solo.

[CrapshoT]

Out in the Fields - Gary Moore/Phil Lynott
Still of the Night - Whitesnake
The Trooper - Iron Maiden

[Jiff Lemon]

Electronic - Forbidden city.

Johnny Marr and his electric guitar at his finest. Must be all of about 5 notes but just awesome.

[Richdog]

Oasis - Some Might Say introduction is great I love it.

Just about any song by Seahorses

[Russ]

Muse - Plug in Baby

[DaBeeeenster]

Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb

Agree with Knoxxeh - Hotel California is a defininitive guitar solo.

I reckon Dave Gilmour prolly has more stunners than anyone else tho.

[Andyr]

Jimi Hendrix - Purple Haze
Weazer - Hash pipe
Jimi Hendrix - Voodoo Child
Jimi Hendrix - *

[Knoxville]

Bon Jovi- Damned: in the middle of one of the crappest albums ever comes a moment of pure guitar genius from Richie Sambora- I counted 11 notes in one second!

11, pah mr vai holds the record for me at 21 notes a second Still a nice solo though. I'd have said G'n'R in my first post but while slash's stuff is damn good there's better stuff out there for me.

[Kezzer]

Geoff Whitehorn - All very true
Eric Johnson - Cliffs of dover
John Mayall and the blues brothers with mr clapton - Steppin' out
Johnny b goode solo

Jeez, pick some underground solos instead of the mainstream jimi and metallica stuff
