the Aerodynamic thing was done on a synth?
Maggot Brain is pretty awesome, not sure if it's my fave though.
This is the space where I would put a Youtube link but I CBA
for a truely awesome guitarist check out this dude:
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=4JWeQZGupYQ skip to 5.34 if yee want yer brains to blow up, and oh yeah he play completely upside down, with the light strings on top. fucking awesome!
GTFO. I couldn't give a shit how technically good he was, but I have no clue how you can't be floored by some of the solos on that record. They're just fucking primal and nasty and completely amazing. I'm listening to 1970 right now and I'm covered in goose bumps.
Its not that he was particularly technically bad he just played like your average 60s beat guitarist with a wah on top; It could be absolutely anybody playing on those records.
On Transmission, just after the opening bass and drums. Not the most technically demanding solo (not even a solo perhaps) but, boy o boy, does it make me feel WARM.
I like the Billy Gibbons slide guitar solo on Precious and Grace by ZZ Top a lot. And Jimi Hendrix all the time. And Makoto Kawabata when he does the demented splitting the heavens apart thing on Black Sky by Mainliner. When he is good he is very very good!
The last solo on 'Wrong Time Capsule' by Deerhoof is a killer as well. Not quite in the same league though
My move or do I chuck it?
Stare it in the face or duck it?
Get me a bucket

is the slow solo in Motorcade by Magazine. John McGeoch is not technically the best guitar player ever but i just love it, all discordant and brooding. Mmm.
Though good call on Maggot Brain. Funkadelic were probably my highlight of Bestival this year.
Daft Punk - Aerodynamic
/thread.
Seriously?
You're comparing Daft fucking Punk to the sound of Eddie Hazel completely obliterating his instrument?

I guess a couple of the solos on Fun House
probably run it close, but George Clinton's production adds something for me.

Fun House really?
Asheton was such a bad guitarist.
Seriously,

the only redeeming feautures of pre-Williamson Stooges are Iggy, the improvs and the brass.

No ways!
He even slayed on Jonathan Ross last year. He's canny nasty and ragged compared to Eddie but still immense
people who dont like fun house basically dont like rock music
* Raw Power
no fun house as well
good, but pales in comparison
people who dont like fun house basically dont like rock music
Yeah
* Raw Power
Search And Destroy IS rock music
LA Blues> Search And Destroy
its not rock music that make LA Blues good though
its weird double-drums studio feakouting. Search and Destroy is the embodiment, essence and entirety of rock.
yes, yes there has.
just not sure what.
J Mascis and The Fog
covering Cyborg Kids by Guitar Wolf
SHREDDDDD
j mascis
on wonderful witches by thurston moore
Bernard Sumner
On Transmission, just after the opening bass and drums. Not the most technically demanding solo (not even a solo perhaps) but, boy o boy, does it make me feel WARM.
J Mascis
on anything (especially The Lung)
what about 'out there'?
Got to be up there with the best surely?
Eez good

all along the watchtower - hendrix
the second solo to be exact.
like a hurricane
Scotty Moore
Second solo on Hound Dog. First proper rock guitar solo in my book!
fucking amazing, yes
but the true art of the solo is leaving your mark within a very limited boundary. If the whole song is the solo then it becomes something else
Douchebag do you play the guitar?
The Purple Haze solo is all up in a limited space and it is bonkers. It's all over the shop
do i play guitar?
Hell yeah. Hendrix learnt everything he knew from me.
And to be fair, i'm not the best teacher
that's true
WOLF MARSHALL is
Anything of Raw Power, probably.
James Williamson was awesome. His entire playing makes me feel sexy.
I'm a big fan of J Mascis on How'd You Pin That One On Me

there is a song on without a sound that starts mid solo thats pretty good
but my favourite is on raisins, sounds like he is wrenching something painful from deep within
my favourite solo
is the slow solo in Motorcade by Magazine. John McGeoch is not technically the best guitar player ever but i just love it, all discordant and brooding. Mmm.

I like a....
....guitar solo by Suede during Sound Of The Streets. and also the one from Trash from the same era
Yo La Tengo
Blue Line Swinger
The intro to Cortez the Killer
off of Zuma by N. Young
Hideki Ishima, Satori III
Josh Homme, Space Cadet
Bolleaux
the lot of yer.
Achilles last stand.
Jimmy Page.Led Zeppelin.Presence L.P.
Mother Earth is pregnant for the third time
cos y'all have knocked her up.
or something.
But yeah, it's awesome. Last time I listened to it was with a big doob and a bath after a hard 11-aside game. Lovely.
queen - killer queen
elliott smith - strung out again
beatles- the end (the very end)
Jethro Tull - Aqualung and Heavy Horses
these are my favs off the top of my head. I'm not really a huge fan of kerraazy freakouts, some exceptions of course.
Sterling Morrison's final solo
on Aint Got Nothin. Does it for me every time
Why has......
......no-one mentioned Eddie Van Halen here yet ?
anything by J Mascis...
reckon the solo on 'Fire' by Hendrix is pretty sweet too,although that may be down to the pre-solo vocal 'oh move over rover...' classic.
my personal fave:
'becuz' by Sonic Youth
NEEEEUWOOOWWWOOOOOWWWWWWWWAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Come, on, let's all stop being coy indie boys...
...why has no-one said Sweet Child O' Mine by Guns n' Roses yet?!
Please excuse my over-zealous first comma in the above subject line
It's 7:17pm and I'm still at work. I think I might go to the Star and play "spot people out of Foals" in a minute...
And not forgetting, of course,
Sultans of Swing by Dire Straits.
OMG, LOL etc.
