I want you guys to tell me what you think the best Queen guitar solo is, live or studio (Excluding Brighton Rock solos)

I think an obvious contender is Flick Of The Wrist... and then theres Great King Rat which is also mesmerising, and hey, who said it had to be electric guitar? 1st solo in Innuendo?
Another great one is Stone Cold Crazy... must be so difficult to play, then theres The Millionire Waltz, which is less Rock N Roll but something more different.

Your thoughts?
A guitar Solo that gets over looked is 'Put Out The Fire' I love it!
Good Company.

It's pure genius - arranging a Dixieland jazz band for guitar. There's nothing like it, before or since.

Damn... that reminds me to listen to some more 80s work.

John hated Hot Space. Frederick's favourite singer was not Paul Rodgers. Roger didn't compose 'Innuendo.' 'Bohemian Rhapsody' hasn't got 180 vocal overdubs.
You Don't Fool Me... by a mile ;)

"Queen are: Freddie Mercury,Roger Taylor, John Deacon and Brian May"
Just to rock the boat....


With Queen: Bijou


After Queen : You Don't Fool Me


not bad considering it's fighting against such distinctive stuff as "GOFLB", "KQ", "TSMGO", "BoRhap" and even "WWTLF"...particularly so late in his career

Agree. The most emotive guitar work ever !

Flick of the wrist and killer Queen. Sublime.
And then we have the luxury of all the aforementioned efforts that run them close to enjoy.

Yes! Always loved FTS

The one on the Ranbow '74 fblows my mind.
TATDOOL and RTWW. Love them both.

Good Company is far and away Brian's best work. However, the solos I'm most fond of are Scandal, All Dead All Dead, Sail away Sweet Sister and The Hero (Flash OST, when the Flash theme reprises after the Hero has ended. Really melodic -- and heroic!).
