Metal guitar solos you need to hear

catchy title? :S

The following is a list of what I reckon are some of the best metal guitar solos around (please add yours in the comments). The "heaviness" of a band/song is based on my personal perception and might not necessarily match the norm.

The following rules of thumb have been followed:

  1. No instrumentals
  2. Electric only (obviously)
  3. Each band/artist can only be mentioned once.

Here goes ... (in no particular order)

  • Richie Blackmore [Deep Purple]: Highway star
  • Slash [Guns n' Roses]: November rain

SotD: Bruce Dickinson - The Tower

While this song off Bruce Dickinson's Chemical Wedding is pretty catchy etc. etc., it's the solo by Roy Z that has me constantly coming back for another listen.

Good shit.
