Here Today... Gone To Hell!

This thread is dedicated to all the songs you think they arent good enough,  but they have a great intro, a great guitar solo, or drum beat, its up to you!!! : ok:


well lets start.......

Pantera - we'll meet again - Power Metal -1988  <<avarage song but what a guitar solo! :yes:

I'll post more later

2AM by Iron Maiden, good song not their best but the solo is so simple yet so much feeling on that one  :yes:

Nudeswirl's ST album - great grungy guitar work throughout - horrible vocals

This thread has possibilities...............

Check out "If My Mind Is Evil" by White Lion......

Now I happen to like the song regardless, but some may find it a little too typical of the time period - i.e. 80's hair metal. Either way it has some really neat guitar within...... :yes:

'In the Name of God' by Dream Theater isn't that special, but the guitar solo from 8:36 on is incredible :)

I wanna rock - by Twisted Sister, the song is okay in my view - but that solo is one of the greatest moments in rock history - scorching!

Back off  Bitch - GN'R. I always thought the song is OK but not standout, however that solo is killer. Very different for Slash - veers from the usual blues/pentatonic into more diatonic modal scales

Megadeth's "Youthanasia" is a lumbering, average song, but that Marty Friedman solo is killer.  : ok:

Raining Blood kicks ass and it has an amazing intro.

Song:  Enter Sandman
Part:  Solo

It's annoying cos there must be loads of songs like this - just can't seem to think of any!

Ozzy Osbourne - Zombie Stomp (No More Tears album)

all the snakepit albums

The Hitman By Queen (innuendo album), is a song that doesn't feel like was made to be in that album cause it doesnt fit at all

Stairway to Heaven and Free Bird would be useless 70's cheese without the solo. Same with Deep Purple's Child in Time: the solo makes the song. I think songs were better constructed in the 80's, when riffs got much better. So many 70's songs are built on a single great solo, but riffs really improved with the 80's.

Yes, Reign in Blood is an excellent example of this! I LOVE that riff!  ;D The first 15 seconds of that song could be repeated 10x and it would still rock!

"Carpe Diem Baby" from Re-load from Metallica , not a good song nor a bad song , terrific riff tho.

Another 80's tune to ponder - Voodoo by Yngwie Malmsteen.........

Not his best, but containing one of my fav solo's out of everything that I've ever heard............... :yes:

Skid Row - In a darked room - Average song with great solo's.

... :o...

You're gone by, gone...........

Next thing, you'll be tellin' us Matthew Sweet rocks..........

I belive in a thing called love - The Darness

3 fuckin' solos

all of em kik ass  ;D

Bah - it DOES have a good solo, regardless of what we think of the song

When I read your original post the other day, I actually went and dug out 'Big Hits and Nasty Cuts', threw it in the stereo, blasted 'I Wanna Rock', and was quickly reminded that I kinda like the song. Sadly, the solo is mediocrity at its finest......... :'(

How can u say that?? It's just a superb solo - it explodes from the track, fantastic!

Not to add insult to injury here Iz, but if someone, anyone, were to tell me that the 'I Wanna Rock' solo is - "superb" - I would simply have to assume that they've never heard a good guitarist play.

EDIT - It doesn't move! It's flat, it's slow, it's sloppy...it's unimaginative!

^What he said. That solo is just sad, really. Izzy you've got to get your hands on some music. Like, now.

thanks for that ::)

I'm not sure we are even talking about the same song here, but if u don't like it fair enough.

I don't know if this is an "avarage" song but it got some amazing solo

Tom Petty & The Heartbrakers - Runnin' Down A Dream
