November Rain
Sweet child of mine
Don't cry
All by Guns and Roses there is nothing like slash for a heart felt solo. I am acually trying to get the don't cry one down at the moment on the guitar.

Yeah, gunners for me all the way - November rain, sweet child o mine and don't forget patience - that has a great guitar solo...

but you still can't beat the guitar solo in Easy Like Sunday Morning by Faith no More - very simple to play but fits the song perfectly. I've always loved it.

Alive
Nothing as it seems

Both by pearl jam, Nothing as it seems has a very cool haunting sound and all flows very good. I like the solos with meaning but other people like the ones that are just all about playing realy fast, shreding. Thats what I like about guitar it can cover most situations.

eyes of glass by Forbidden is the most memorable lead track I have heard...in fact forbidden as a whole did many a memorable lead track..

other hornourable mentions go to Jeff Waters (annihilator) Alex skolnick (testament) Ritchie Blackmore, Gary moore and early Exodus solo work was superb, in fact most metal bands have hard core shredders...too many to list

case in point ( for those that missed it the first time :sm_headba )
