Best Guitar Solos

great king rat and brighton rock, also flick of the wrist.

Killer Queen.
Bohemian Rhapsody.
We Will Rock You.
Heaven For Everyone.
Don't Stop Me Now.
Scandal.
I Want It All.
Innuendo.
These Are The Days...
Made In Heaven(the 1st few seconds of the solo are just amazing).

Plus More.

My vote goes to 'The Millionaire Waltz' absolute bloody genius.

Brighton Rock at Hammersmith Odeon'75... I dunno if it's Bri's best solo ever, but it's definitely my fav!

The guitar solo in "Put out the fire" is my favourite . Brian recorded that when he was very drunk. "Brighton Rock" is also great. I love the live version on Live Killers. Brian also plays great things in the live versions of "Grazy Little Thing Called Love".

My favs are Let Me Live and Save Me. I really have no idea why...

Brian's most effective guitar solo is, in my humble opinion, You Don't Fool Me. Absolutley amazing.

I agree that excess does not equal anything great....

But Brighton Rock, despite the lengthy solo, is actually rather impressive. I have my cronie pals (ugh, in punk bands....of all things) who are stunned by this. But then again...they are in punk bands, so I'm sure ANYTHING stuns them into pissing their pants and forgetting who they are for an hour, dontcha think? Woo....
cheers

Even guitar greats see it as a masterpiece of artistry....but I accept your negativity....oh yes!

I don't know. It just seems overdone to have a three-to-four minute solo in the middle of a song that's supposed to be a band effort. I'm not denying that it's impressive, I want to know how his fingers don't split open, but I think he overdid it.

And BIJOU...my GOD. I have holes in my track-changing button from me stabbing it when that song comes on...though it is very pretty for the first minute or so. We'll just have to agree to disagree on those :)

Oh yes...Put Out The Fire is terrific!

OFatB - Somebody to Love, Guitar Solo, Crazy Little Thing Called Love(end), Bohemian Rhapsody
