These polls are always so lame and stupid. There are many better solos than the above. Just off the top of my head, I'd say the following is better (not in order), but not necessarily the best ever.
1. Baptism of Fire - Glenn Tipton (solo album)
2. Over the Mountain - Randy Rhoads
3. Lonely is the Word - Tony Iommi
4. Lucretia - Marty Friedman
5. Girl Gone Bad - Eddie Van Halen
6. Walk - Dimebag
7. Sex child - John Sykes (Blue Murder)
8. Death Certificate - Steer / Amott (Carcass)
9. Dead Skin Mask - Hanneman / King
10. About 800 other songs than the ones listed in the bullshit poll from the magazine.

Not a terrible list I must admit because they are usually totally fucked. All the songs on that list are pretty good. Maybe this should be a top 10 list of the most famous songs with decent guitar solos. If that was the criteria, then where is 'Cowboys from Hell' by Pantera? 'The Unforgiven' solo totally blows away the 'One' solo but it depends whether you are judging on complexity or good solo writing. People are always going to have problems with these lists so its pointless making them.

"I mean, there's no way in hell that any guitarist on that list is better then Randy Rhoads."
"Wheres Nuno Bettencourt from Extreme? so underrated he is."
It's not a list of who is the best guitarist - it is a list of which is the best solo. And on those grounds should Crazy Train really be in there - even if you love Rhoads? It really isn't a top ten guitar solo in my opinion - it's more like a break anyway.

That depends whether you like pure fret tapping solos or traditional soloing. No More Tears contains both, thats why I like it. Crazy Train is awesome though, especially for the time. I'm just saying, listening to the Ozzy albums today, I prefer Zakks playing overall.

its all about emotion coming thru the notes, no matter the technique or histrionix; hammett is mostly just fast math.
ozzy once said about vai, who is a nice guy btw, that it was like watching a master mechanic strip & rebuild a v8 in 15 mins. flat;
but where's the song? fast math is boring....

Hammett fast math? Listen to Unforgiven and try telling me that solo is wankery. That solo is pure melodic emotion. Not to mention Fade to Black. There are solos he does though where he absolutely shreds it up and blazes over the fret board such as Struggle Within. Now that solo fucking owns any solo on that list. But since it wasn't a radio single then I guess it is excluded.

Hey Carrion, buy a fucking clue dumbass, I said that Struggle Within is more complex than any solo from that list, I didn't say it was a classic. You think the Comfortably Numb solo is harder to play than Struggle Within? I didn't think so. I'm not fucking stupid, I know that Comfortably Numb is a better song, but you just totally missed my fucking point,
Yes, Struggle Within uses wah, but very well. By "little else" you mean that awesome shredding right? Jimi Hendrix used wah as well, does that mean that he is "all wah wha and little else"? Holy shit! I think Dimebag used a wah too, he must be shit!! You sir, are the fudgepacker.

.. in that list. Nice to see Freebird up there.
But I have to say, that anybody who consideres the Crazy Train solo being somekind of bridge instead of a solo, must be deaf. I will never understand why somebody thinks that it is not a solo. That is just plain stupid.
And for Ozzy stuff, Mr. Crowley, No More Tears and Shot in the Dark have for example a lot better solo than Crazy Train.
But these kind of polls are like assholes. You know what I mean.

Stairway's great, but come on now!
Honrable mentions:
Smith/ Murray: Wasted Years
Rik Emmitt: Lay It On The Line
Yngwie: Far Beyond The Sun
Iommi: Over And Over
Vivian Campbell: I Speed At Night
Brian May: Ogre Battle
Alex Lifeson: La Villa Strangiato

Over the Mountain is my favorite Randy solo.
Kirk is over-rated. His playing seems limited to me, by his inability to use all four fingers on the fretboard. Well' I rarely see him use any more than that.
Also, and only my opinion, Zepp, Eagles and Floyd are all over-rated bands. I can respect what they've accomplished. Because they've sold a lot of albums. But shit like Pink Floyd is good if you're contemplating suicide and nothing more.
"November Rain" has a great solo. Clapton belongs on the list by default. But I think you could replace the three bands I mentioned above with better stuff.

because why on earth would you expect YOUR favourite solo's to be the ones that would apear on a general poll, or at the very least a list compiled so that most people will recognise within a basic rock genra.
I've not heard anybody mension Frank Zappa, City of Tiny Lights solo is for me better than most of the stuff on the list, but I wouldn't expect it to be there
It also seems pathetic that all I'm seeing is 'metal' or rock guitarists being mensioned. If it's a list for a wider greatest solo's you'd have to have Peter Green, Jan Akerman, Nils Lorfgren (solo on Keith don't go for fucks sake!!!), Walter Trout, Ali Dimialo, Uli Jon Roth...
The fact is, most of the songs on there (with a few exceptions which are poor choices) would be able to get people within an age range of say 20-50 to get up and play air guitar, knowing the notes, for most of them. As much as everybody on here seems to love Dimebag, in 20 years time I doubt very much Pantera will be remembered in the same light as Zeppelin or Floyd. Same can be said for most of the metal specific players people are listing....
Plus Glenn Tipton? Awesome rythem player, but could never be consider a great soloist

again,since when the fuck is he suddenly so great,i dont get it,when theres tipton/k.k,murray/smith,jabs/schienker both of them,theres many way better and yea more popular.i love ace frehley he's had his share of great solos where the hell is he,but slash and before eddie vh no way.zakk is not better than randy sorry,zakk has had his chance to play tons of music when randy had only just begun,it's not fair to make that statement,if only randy was alive,we might all be having a different list,and that goes for others guitar greats who have passed on.

Get Real!
There's no way in hell that Page is better than Gilmour !
Walsh didn't do anything on that solo-Felder did it all & the rest is crap, except Skynrd.
Bohemian Rhapsody & any other song by Queen should be No. 1!
2. End of The World-Gary Moore
3. Hackett To Bits- Steve Hackett
4. I'm Running-Yes [Trevor Rabin]
5. Larger Than Life-Lita Ford
then any other idiots you want!

there are a few good female guitar players out there:
Brody Dalle, for instance
& Josh Homme should be on that list in first, second, third & fourth place: for Kyuss, Queens of the Stone Age, Desert Sessions & Mondo Generator
Metallica stole all their stuff from Josh Homme so they should be disqualified immediately!

"03. "Freebird" - Allen Collins and Gary Rossington (LYNYRD SKYNYRD)
should be disqualified because "solo" is singular"
Fuck you. A solo is a piece of music written for one instrument, but who cares if they're trading off, they're both playing guitar and the end result is the same - Fucking Awesome. Besides, if you weren't such a dumb fuck, you'd know that allen collins played it on his own when they played in concert most of the time.
