Mine is the second (and final) solo from Comfortably Numb by pink Floyd. Damn I could listen to that forever.

That song would be the first to come to my mind when asked "what is the worst solo of all time?" Not to spite or antagonize you,  just saying, I cannot stand that solo.

VERY VERY LONG. Entirely too long. So long that it completely ceases to sound good at all.

Once you figure out that it's just a sweeping technique on the higher frets, it loses most of it's awesomeness...

This solo pwns yours...easily

That's amazing technical playing but I don't really like it all that much. Hard to play doesn't make it good.

I feel the same. I felt that the bass was better than the guitar in yyz. But each to his own.

The guitar still owns, though :P

Worst solo? Repetitious maybe, but it's far from the worst solo.

Not only is James Hetfield ten times the guitarist that Kirk Hammet is, Kirk Hammet is pretty lame. If anything, he's a hindrance to Metallica, which I love, don't get me wrong.

Well, the first thing that came to my mind was the guitar solo on the version of Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun from Roger Waters' In The Flesh (Live) album, so I'll go with that.
