MadBuffaloDisease Posted November 16, 2005 Posted November 16, 2005 Don't get me wrong, I like that album. But it was overproduced, particularly compared to the previous two. I liked it a lot as well. But it's the nature of the beast. As you get more successful, the record company is willing to devote more money to your album. That is, UNTIL you start taking 5 or 6 years to get that record out.
Johnny Coli Posted November 16, 2005 Posted November 16, 2005 No kidding. It's the Boston "Third Stage" effect. 504917[/snapback] I am not a fan of Tom Scholz.
BillsFanNC Posted November 16, 2005 Posted November 16, 2005 Pretty much anything in the Snatches Of Pink catalog.
The Dean Posted November 16, 2005 Posted November 16, 2005 Pretty much anything in the Snatches Of Pink catalog. 504974[/snapback] SNATCHES of pink? Really. This a porn band?
Crap Throwing Monkey Posted November 16, 2005 Posted November 16, 2005 I am not a fan of Tom Scholz. 504967[/snapback] I am not the least bit surprised.
yall Posted November 16, 2005 Posted November 16, 2005 Both solos in Iron Maiden's Alexander the Great are at the top of my list. Also, Craig Goldie put together a masterpiece in the solo for Dio's I could have been a dreamer.
Dan III Posted November 16, 2005 Posted November 16, 2005 Petrucci/Dream Theater - The Glass Prison. I love that first one with the tempo change. I'm such a metal head. 504552[/snapback] my fav metal solo's: Eyes of a Stranger- Queensryche. I've always loved the dualing leads. Inside Out- Anthrax Any Zakk Wylde solo.
MadBuffaloDisease Posted November 16, 2005 Posted November 16, 2005 I am not the least bit surprised. To each his own. Another solo I like is in "Smooth up (in ya)" by the Bullet Boys.
MikeH Posted November 16, 2005 Posted November 16, 2005 former Zep guitarist Jimmy Page. 504598[/snapback] I always thought the guitar solo in Stairway to Heaven sounded pretty good.
lawnboy1977 Posted November 16, 2005 Posted November 16, 2005 Lots of them. But I'd have to say "Eruption." That's what started it all for me. 504147[/snapback] Eruption for sure, but if we are talking about solo during a song, I would have to say either Whole Lotta Love or Ain't Talking Bout Love.
Tony P Posted November 16, 2005 Posted November 16, 2005 This one's a little obscure but “Who do You Love” off of Quicksilver Messenger Service Live at Fillmore from 1968 features one of the best stoned-out solos that you’ll ever hear. Goes from hard rock to mellow rock to Bay Area psychadelic rock all in a span of about 10 minutes. A 20+ minute song with some super slick pickin’.
TheMadCap Posted November 16, 2005 Posted November 16, 2005 Blue Sky - Dickie and Duane A man I'll never be - Tommy Sholtz Fool in the rain - Jimmy P I just love that guitar sound on the Zep track. I can't quite tell, but sounds like to me that he's using a wah pedal in one set position...
Dan Gross Posted November 16, 2005 Posted November 16, 2005 Don't get me wrong, I like that album. But it was overproduced, particularly compared to the previous two. 504948[/snapback] And it would have been nice if he could have found a drummer that he didn't have to plug in....
Rico Posted November 17, 2005 Posted November 17, 2005 Johnny Thunders, Heartbreakers Live At Max's Kansas City, "One Track Mind". Walter Lure's solo right before it isn't too shabby either... but he's shredded by JT. 2nd place: Robert Fripp, Eno's Here Come The Warm Jets, "Baby's On Fire" 3rd place: Keith Richards, Beggars Banquet, "SFTD"
Buftex Posted November 17, 2005 Posted November 17, 2005 Some nice choices listed. One of the most amazing solos I ever saw in person many years ago was Neil Young playing Cortez The Killer. It went on for 12-15 minutes and was simply fantastic. 504730[/snapback] Agreed! I was never much of a Neil Young fan...until I saw him live in 1993 (with Booker T & the MG's) As corny and cliche as it sounds, just watching him play, and the fight he puts into his guitar work is mesmerizing....one of the most powerful live performers I have ever seen...he and Jonathan Richman!
Buftex Posted November 17, 2005 Posted November 17, 2005 3rd place: Keith Richards, Beggars Banquet, "SFTD" 505228[/snapback] I know you are a Stones fanatic, like myself...I am sure you have heard (or seen) the "Stones At the Maxx" dvd? The version on that dvd (as opposed to the live album from the same tour) is scorching...maybe one of the tastiest solos I have ever heard Keef play live....now I am sure someone will tell me "it was Ron Wood, you dumb ass!"
Buftex Posted November 17, 2005 Posted November 17, 2005 I am not a fan of Tom Scholz. 504967[/snapback] Lets see, you don't like Tim McGraw, you don't like Tom Scholz! Who do you like?

Last year my girlfriend got me a photo signed by the entire band, best gift of the year. This is funny; the post I spent the least time thinking about in my wall history got more posts then any others. I blame TD.
JLO Posted November 17, 2005 Posted November 17, 2005 Here are several of my favorites: Frank Zappa-Muffin Man and Fifty-fifty SRV-Little Wing Steve Vai-For the Love of God Robin Trower-Daydream Chicago (Terry Kath)- 25 or 6 to 4 David Bowie (Robert Fripp)-Fashion 504382[/snapback] Frank Zappa- "Yo Mama" and "Return of the Son of Shut Up and Play Your Guitar"
