Hell yeah, Adrian was on top of his game on that album. Stranger in a Strange Land might be my favourite solo ever, and Wasted Years is also great. Too bad he doesn't tend to play it all the way to the end live. Other favourites are the Pulse version of Floyd's Comfortably Numb and something that nobody else has ever mentioned, In Flames's Satellites and Astronauts.

How could i forget Steve Vai. Yankee Rose and Shyboy from David Lee Roths first album and his amazing Passion and Warfare album. And Dimebag from first couple Pantera albums was incredible as well

Nah! Cool

Well the entire song is pretty much Van Halen just shredding the guitar, so I guess the entire song is  a solo. LOL

Oh yeah, How could i forget "Eruption" Deep Purple had great solos too. "Highway Star" is probably one of the earliest shredding. Too many to count!

An awesome solo that always comes to my mind is Faith & Decision by Versailles (min 3 approx.)

There's also sort of a watered down (but still entertaining) version of Eruption on VH III called 'Primary'. Just more Eddie Shreddie Cool

Eloy's guitar solos on 'Floating' are simply sublime, no wonder it's my favorite album of theirs. Big smile

Also recently remembered the solo in Lacuna Coil's 'Zombies', love how it plays over the crunching guitar.
