[Trexx]

I love the crisp wail of Robin Trower's 'Jack & Jill' intro lead
...and at the end too. Victims of the Fury is full of gems, all over the place.

[duojett71]

I agree that EVH's solos too many great ones to count...same with Lifeson

here are some that I forgot:

Disposable Heros-Metallica/Kirk Hammet
Tooth And Nail-Dokken/George Lynch
Chinatown(1st solo)-Thin Lizzy/Snowy White
Aphasia-Europe/John Norum
Sapphire-TNT/Ronne Le Tekro
Seaven Seas-TNT/Ronnie Le Tekro

really Iron Maiden and Thin Lizzy had to many to list as well...

[otcconan]

If I'm going to cite a Kirk lead, it has to be "Fade To Black." That one is classic in every way. Although not a huge fan of Kirk nowadays, he was one of my heroes when I didn't know better.

[duojett71]

Dave Menniketti's solo in "Rescue Me" rules....good call.

Also another classic solo is on Night Ranger's "Don't Tell Me You Love Me", especially the first solo by Brad Gillis. That solo rips....

[Trexx]

Lazy -Deep Purple

Blackmore does good there.
