Best Guitar Solo ever.

[Orang Utan]

Ah! Lynyrd Skynyrd 'Freebird'.

Shh you damned fool

 

[danny la rouge]

And the song was?

Freebird.

 

[Orang Utan]

Freebird.

Damnit!


It’s two words though, so we may have gotten away with it

 

[seeformiles]

Ah! Lynyrd Skynyrd 'Freebird'.

Sshhhhhhhhhhh! (You’ve done it now - 7 years bad luck or something worse…)

 

[danny la rouge]

Sorry! Do I have to throw salt over my shoulder now?

 

[Sasaferrato]

I actually quite like Freebird.

 

[seeformiles]

Sorry! Do I have to throw salt over my shoulder now?

Yes - and bury a dead weasel facing due east at a crossroads at midnight or something else witchy like that. Better safe than sorry.

Straight away? Would be OK if I leave here tomorrow?

To date this story, the part of the student Union we were in was called the Sandinista Cafe.

You should probably have put this cover of the Equals' song mentioned in post #12 on the jukebox then

It's OK, we will still remember you.

 

[seeformiles]

Thing is, there’s too many places I’ve got to see

It's been this on all the other threads and it's still this:

I might be slightly biased but this is another of my favourite ever guitar solos, it sounds like the amp catches fire, it is also the correct length

 

[rutabowa]

also I rarely play guitar on recordings but i was very happy with my little solo during the "atonal" part of this song, it's at least as good as anything jimi hendrix has played:

 

[jontz01]

Jonny greenwoods performance on both Maquiladora and Blow Out from Radiohead's encore at the Astoria in 94. Still tops the bill as my best ever gig. Still makes the hairs stand up watching it today.



ETA strobe warning.
Couldn't find a single video of Maquiladora but it's on the full set.

ETA part 2. Maquiladora wasn't part of the encore. It's at 29 mins.

 

[rutabowa]

let's have some Wilko. One of my favourite guitarists of all time, much more than a soloist (his solos are more little breaks between the more important work of rhythm) but his solos do it too:

 

[Sasaferrato]

It's been this on all the other threads and it's still this:

An all time classic. Strange to think that he was Leslie Crowther's son in law.

 

[Mattym]

Jimmy- Hey Joe/Purple Haze (or many, many others)

 

[weltweit]

I was just going to say, what no Jimi Hendrix?

 

[Orang Utan]

bit boring innit

 

[weltweit]

Sacrelige !!

 

[killer b]

The original unedited version of the purple rain solo is magic - from 8.30 on this clip

 

[friedaweed]

 

[weltweit]

Quite controlled and short, but very nice, from 3 minutes in.

 

[weltweit]

From the end of the lyrics, (but you can't never leave) to the end,

 

[strummerville]

Another Girl Another Planet surely...

 

[hitmouse]

Glad no one has brought up F*** B*** yet

I was trying to think what this could possibly mean, the main thing that came to my mind was

 

[hitmouse]

Its Boredom tied with Maggot Brain, like last time

Genuinely forgot the Buzzcocks song existed there and assumed that urban just had a lot of Japanese noise lovers.
