There are many, and it's not just metal bands. Pink Floyd, for example had some great guitar work over the years. Jimmi Hendrix? Nirvanna? So which band/song IYO has the best guitar solo?

Hahahahahahahaahahahahaahahahaahahahahahahaah Nirvana...oh god....Hahahhaahahahahahahahaha...I'm gonna cry. As for best solo, well it's basically impossible to decide on a "best solo" as for my favorite hmm, probably the one in Whole Lotta Love after the vocal/drum solo, I know it's nowhere near the best technically, hell its not even Pages hardest solo, just how its led into with the vocal/drum solo, and the way Page plays it are just things of beauty.
EDIT: And I suppose it was unfair of me to laugh at Nirvana, I guess some people might find those solo's to be great...Just not I.
yeah money is great too..actually i like all pink floyd solos. especially songs like echoes that are 14 minutes long.
and you were justified laughing at nirvana. one of my favorite bands. but kurt wasnt the greatest guitar player. its more of a bridge usually then a solo lol.

However, Kurt Cobain, is undoubtly one of the greatest song writers of the 90's (he's up there with Jeff Mangum and Thurston Moore).

Personally I'm not much of a fan of his song writing, dunno, just doesn't do it for me.
I really like some of the solo work in Epic of War by ANnihilator, but I also really like the solo in Sultans of Swing by Dire Straits. Mark Knopfler may not be as fast as Jeff Waters (Annihilator's lead guitarist) or even as good at arrangement, but goddammit is he a good player. And I'm no fanboy, but Steve Vai's work on the Halo 2 Theme Mjolnir mix is also absolutely stellar. That practically wasa long solo. And of course, the duellinsolos from Judas Priest's Bullet Train are wicked - and the live version was even better.

you will most definatly not get an arguement from me. as i said, one of my favorite bands. his passion for music is matched by only a few.
Well Steve Vai has some amazing stuff...and if you want emotion listen to Lotus Feet by him, there is a live video on youtube of it, just search for Lotus Feet if you're interested (the link button thing doesnt work for me haha).
Fade to Black by Metallica. It wasn't played superhumanly fast, but it did have more emotion than most others, and to me just sounded better.aaaaarrrrggggg

I would say David Gilmour's ones. I could say Comfortably Numb, or Keep Talking or Shine on your crazy diamond. It wouldn't be fair forgetting Page's ones and also Hendrix doesn t matter the musician. I must say that it depends on my mood, so there are days that im eaging to listen to Comfy Numb solo and there are days that i want to listen to Little Wing or The song remains the same. I don't have a favourite solo, but i have moments(this sounded gay which make me feel like a solo's the best!
