I have to agree with the spine chilling solo of "Comfortably Numb" on the Pulse album. Simply amazing!

Neil Peart's Solo O' Bateria that he played on the Rush in Rio album
1 Chronicles 13:7-9

Then David and all Israel played music before God with all their might, with singing, on harps, on stringed instruments, on tambourines, on cymbals, and with trumpets.

No way. We have an Allman Brothers fan here! But Dreams instead of Trouble No More? and One Way Out?  Ah hell, there all effing brilliant. 
 
Scratch that, the explosion at the end of Whipping Post is IT.  Eargasm.


missed this earlier.... oh yeah... a HUGE fan hahahha.  The slide solo on Dreams... complete Eargasm. hahhaha  you are right though.. they all were brilliant.  How about those dueling guitar solos he had with Clapton on 'Key to the Highway' off of the Layla album.... complete EARGASM hahha.

 People talk about Gilmours solos... pfff...  Duane had a soul that Gilmour couldn't touch.
omg, don't get me started on the Dominoes...I was cold toward that album for a while but Duane's playing absolutely carries that album, imo he steals the show...noone's playing could've brought out such emotion with the what Clapton was going through at the time.  His slide work on Layla is a tear-jerker (and then you get that closing song...here's a grown man with a lump in his throat).  It's one of the true rock n roll tragedies that Duane had to pass away, he could've done so many more great things.
 
Eat a Peach for Duane Allman, the man will live on foreverClapClap


damn right his playing carries it Clap.  It really was a tragedy,  what an incredible talent he was..  in fact, the only thing RS nailed on that damn 100 greatest guitarist list they did a few years ago was having Duane at #2.

Machine gun has one hell of a solo! I love the part where jimi holds a really long sustain, so long it becomes almost unbearable, then he finally lets off. It's freakin awesome! That's one of my hendrix favourites. 'midnight' is good too...it's an instrumental on war heroes I think. That one contains some dangerous sonic explosions as well!
for those about to prog, we salute you.

Mine is fripps solo on 21st century schizoid man. That is a solo! Firth or fith is one killer solo too, but I tend to lean toward more bizarre sounding music, hence, my obsession with robert fripp's guitar technique. Let us also remember steve howe's kick ass solo on sound chaser from relayer!

I seriously believe this is a Freudian slip. LOLWink "Strange King of Woman" is a male fantasy; you probably mean "Strange Kind of Woman"
