Greatest guitar solo of the New Melenium
Here is the article which sparked this thread...
He specifically states that this means no Hendrix, SRV or Randy Rhoads...
Personally I'll have to think about it, since most of what I like and listen to is from the last millennium, I'm not sure which would be the best solo (or even the top 20 for that matter).

Re: Greatest guitar solo of the New Melenium
"I think soloing as an artform in itself has sort of outplayed its role in heavy metal music nowadays."
I dont think soloing has outplayed itself.Soloing in rock is a lost art.I think the imagination or inspiration or talent has just vaporized.
I ll never get bored by an amazing solo/lead playing.Its hard for me to enjoy ANY hard rock/metal song that doesnt have a good solo.
Without a solo a hard rock song is like salad without the dressing.
I cant think of any solos from the 90s or 00's.My music taste runs mostly from 1964-1984.

I'm going to think about this for awhile, but much like oth- my preference is from 62-83-ish, however- there is a lot of talent on either end of those years... I just have to remember it:)

Re: Greatest guitar solo of the New Melenium
I'd say my favorite stuff post-2000 would be the new Slash record, but I also dig Orianthi's stuff and Gretchen Menn...
Still, 'greatest'? I don't know yet.

Re: Greatest guitar solo of the New Melenium
I am not sure what the best solo is. I like the solo from Junkie. I think that album came out in 2001, the Down to Earth album.
Well, I still am not sure. Nothing really strikes me as "wow". Almost all of the chops and licks I have learned have come from the 70's 80's and early 90's.
I think to my self, what was the newest material I have tried to learn. The newest was from Metallica's Death Magnetic. "All Nightmare Long". The last song I learned was Cacophony's "Concerto".
I just realized that Pantera's "Revolution" came out in 2000. I like the solo on that song quite a bit. Of course I like that song in general quite a bit.

Re: Greatest guitar solo of the New Melenium
Firstly... that solo by Jack White was absolutely awful.
... and am I the only one who expected to hear Robert Plant suddenly start singing "baby, since I've been loving you.... I'm about... to lose... my mind".
Really.
SO what about great solos of the last 12 yrs.
Hmmmmmm.
Do yourself a favor... watch the entire song... or at least listen.
Genius!!! Say what you want about the guy with the bucket on his head... but he's without a doubt one of the greatest players ever.

...and just to prove he's not all about the shred... listen to the song mentioned earlier by Alex
Hauntingly beautiful.
Fans of guitar playing... if you have been avoiding this mans music cause he's fucking wierd or whatever irks you about him - STOP!!!! Listen to his music. You are missing some very special sounds in your life.
