Title: Greatest/Favourite Slash Solo?
Post by: marty on June 22, 2006, 11:29:43 AM
We all know slash is a true genious of guitar and an iconic legend in his own right, but what is his true shining moment in the guitar solo?
Greatest slash solo basically.  ???

They are all great.

Some are underrated like The Garden one (at 2m 12sec). Or the one at the end of Double Talkin' Jive (acoustic guitar).

I always thought the solos sounded off live.

I always really dug his intros.

The Voodoo Child intro to Civil War... the Only Women Bleed intro to KOHD...

I'm getting hard just thinking about it. So smooth and soft...  :drool:

I really like the sympathy for the devil solo oddly enough.

Yeah, I'm not a big fan of the song, but that was probably one of the last great GN'R Slash solos we ever got to hear from him, and it's up there with my favourites.

I hope he pulls some stuff like that out in VR eventually.

It's so hard to say, but DTJ live was one of the best ever. Especially 1993. But I really like the sound of Slash's solos.. Coma, SCOM, Don't Damn Me, Estranged, YCBM, PC etc.

Coma is simply fucking awesome..

Bad Apples has a fantastic solo. And November Rain of course.

Err, and wasn't Slash's parts on Sympathy For The Devil replaced?

No, but Paul Tobias added some small lead parts and did the rhythm. That's what I have heard.

I love the "Godfather" solo, one of my faves.

Best slash solo is the one from nightrain i reckon.  It has that fantastic atmosphere, you just feel like he's playing on the edge.  Coma and Estranged are both great as well.

Double Talking Jive is very good as well.? i wish they made that song a bit longer and gave it some proper lyrics. :(

SCOM and Estranged, and also Nightrain.

However,  Finck play SCOM much better than Slash and Bumblefoot plays NR solo much better than Slash  :peace:

Street child absolutely has one of the best Slash solos, It's on the same level as estranged.

Wish new guns would have solos like this  :yes:

If you say so....   In my opinion Finck's version of SCOM sucks.....  and maybe Bumble plays a faster version of NR last solo, which is cool!!!

I honestly can't choose.  His playing has such a distinct feel to it, and I love them all.  I'm currently listening to the one on Breakdown, and it really makes the song, IMO.

Post by: GeorgeSteele on December 08, 2006, 10:45:02 AM

I love most if not all the ones already mentioned.  Don't think anyone has brought up the solo that bridges the 2 parts of Rocket Queen - great stuff.
