Ok, this thread is my idea.. Simple enough question, what do you think are the greatest Guitar Solos of all time? (the all time part means you dont have to be a maiden fanatic for this one, but you're quite welcome to enter them..)

My suggestion:

Lynard Skynard - Freebird

The longer editions are even better than the studio one, such as the 14 minute live with a 7+ minute solo.. :) And its a classic...

GNR - November Rain comes a close second to Freebird for me personally, but then there may be some great ones I havent heard. I also have a very strange 19 minute long version of "Take the Time" by Dream Theater from their DVD which has a very long and good solo, but the studio release doesnt, so I dont think that counts ;)
 
The solo on 'Ram It Down' by Judas Priest springs to mind. I don't know why, but that solo just makes me burst into laughter when I hear it. Its just so OTT. But thats why I love it. LOL

I can't think of any others at the moment, theres just so many to choose from! :shock:
 
The Solo of Smoke on the water !!!!!!

Guns N Roses - Nightrain This is my favorite song. Nothing can beat this song, I guess. Slash rocks. I just can´t explain it.

Guns N Roses - Civil War Slash rocks again. Very distinctive solo in this song. Nice to play air-guitar while listening this.

Accept - Metal Heart Again one of the solos you must listen yourself to understand what am I talking about. Very impressive guitar-working
.
Whitesnake - Wings Of The Storm Steve Vai is fast. But the speed is not the thing that makes this solo so great. Nice melody.
 
I have to say November Rain to this one.

Slash is the man!!!
