This is also reinforced by their recent performance at Live 8. Gilmour's shit is ridiculous.

I've always liked Richie Blackmore's solos, e.g. Highway Star, Strange Kind of Woman, and the live Smoke on the Water.

Alex Lifeson's riffs on 2112.

Solos on two good (old) Judas Priest tunes: Beyond the Realms of Death and Dreamer Deceiver.

Eric Johnson, wow. I was lucky enough to see him several times at Texas A&M in the late 70's and early 80's. In those days, he still played a lot of Hendrix covers and was more electric blues-based than his later Jazz-influence.

Gilmour's solo stuff is good, e.g. "There's no way outta here."

But the "best"? Al di Meola on "Race with the Devil on a Spanish Highway."

Considering everything in this thread is a guitar solo, that's a good bet.

Vocal- I would have to say, William Hung "She bangs" as seen on american idol. That kid's got some range. Def. a triple threat.

you might want to listen to a larger variety of music more often...its definetly a good solo, but nothing out of the ordinary when compared to some shit steve vai and joe satriani do everyday live

haha, it was a semi joke, i mean its a good solo dont get me wrong but im more impressed with some of the guns and roses stuff as well. One of the best live solos i have ever seen was actually and yes in all gayness i hate to admit, John Mayer. He was just completely going off, i respect his guitar abilities more now, but still dislike his voice.
John Popper was an extremely good soloist as well though in his own area. possibly the best

There are a shitload of fast guitarists out there. That doesnt necessarily make them the best soloists. Vai's and Satch's stuff has always been incredibly bland to me.

I've always hated yngwie malnsteen (yea thats not spelled right) because it seems the ONLY thing he can do is play fast, I haven't heard him ever play anything that was decent beyond that. Vai's stuff is usually pretty good, beyond being fast as fuck sometimes...esp. the classical stuff and progressions he comes up with
