Re: lets go in reverse,whats the worst solo you've ever heard?
I hate to say this,but the the solos Mick Ronson played in "White Light,White Heat" in Bowies Ziggy Stardust Live movie are horrendous. Completely out of key and sloppy as hell - TWICE!!!!
Sorry Mick!
And a solo I played on a Blacksmith Hopkins track a few years ago called "Cold Heart". Ooooh it SUCKED!!! :smack:
Fortunately a bloke called Chris Wilson blew harp all over it and saved my butt.:bowdown:
Cheers,PJ

Wow! Im surprised anybody agreed with that to be honest!
I'm sure Slash has skills but I think I've yet to realy hear them to be honest...

HA!
Page started running out of gas around...say 1969! The solo on Heartbreaker, while was great in terms of note choice was so poorly played it alone earns Page a nod in the worst solo catagory...sad part is it only went further down hill from there!

Jump.
Utterly outclassed by a keyboard solo, for pity's sake.

It might have been a little over the top but I quite like Guy's playing to be honest...
The bass fill that Guy Pratt plays on the live Delicate Sound of Thunder version of "Another Brick in the Wall pt.2". Why oh why did they chose him? Roger's playing, while never overly technical, was perfect for Floyd. Then this idiot comes in and slaps all over classic Floyd tunes. Yeah, awesome!
EDIT - Some idiot LIKES it on Youtube! Link Skip to 3:334, unfortunately you miss Dave's solo if you do that.

We're Not Gonna Take It by Twisted Sister. (Proves without a doubt that you don't need great chops to have a hit song that plays on the radio or MTV a 1,000,000 times a year).
Anything by Neil Young (Great signer/songwriter but should never attempt a solo).
5 Days In May by Blue Rodeo (Great song by a great band but with a really bad solo that weirdly fit the song perfectly. And I wouldn't change a single note for some inexplicable reason).

Another out-of-key solo, Randy Bachman on "Taking Care of Business." Why release a studio recording with an instrument clearly out of tune; not like the guitar work was that great that he couldn't redo it. Baffling.

But I've never heard anyone else play that style. Mistakes and all, it's still a landmark solo. I'd much rather listen to early Jimmy than any shredder that plays repetitive scales flawlessly. Give me the human element, warts and all.

That was 1967; look at other solos from that year. Jimi was way out in front. As the bar was raised, Jimi kept pace.

Yeah, I was thinking for a while about your post. I actually like Slash's tone and his phrasing, but it did become, like Aceman put it, a preset. It's the same on all of his albums and it doesn't work on a lot of songs.
My biggest problem with the guy is that he didn't really develop in any direction since the 1st GNR album...

What's up with that? Did he peak early?

Maybe he just found his niche. He was invited to so many guest appearances during his career, asked to do his own thing on records or shows that he has probably decided that it's good to stay with the same signature look, tone and phrases.
Can't say there was a lot of innovation, or experimentation, in his career. Just the branded pose and branded tone. Very nice tone though... :friday:
