Favorite Guitar Solos....!!!!

zsp77 · 01-26-2006, 12:55 AM

So, I'm driving home from work tonight, and I'm listening to Hummer and I start thinking about my favorite guitar solos. One thing I love about the band is how Billy rarely dissappoints and almost always leaves you reeling with a sick, genius guitar solo a the end of every song, and sometimes at the beginning. I guess that would be a lead-in if its at the beginning, but whatever. So here goes:

Hummer

Bury Me

I of the Mourning

Honestly (Zwan of course)

that guitar solo on the "To Forgive" live version on Turpentine Kisses (which is the greatest live album of all time in my opinion)

Heck, just listing a few of these makes me want to go back and explore some more songs to refresh my memory of more great ones.

I love talking about this shit!! I get butterflies talking about this band and I've done nothing but listen to them for the last 13 years straight!

Take care and please hit me with your favs,

B

Good call on I of the Mourning.

I would add La Dolly Vita, Here is No Why, and of course Jackie Blue.

Can you post an mp3 of that To Forgive one?

davin · 01-26-2006, 01:42 AM

I agree with whats been posted so far!

I'll add Untitled, Geek USA, and Cherub Rock to the stew.

And Starla.

davin · 01-26-2006, 01:44 AM

And Beautiful!

xaphirbryan · 01-26-2006, 02:06 AM

i agree with those above,

let me add: Soma and Quiet

edit: wheres vince

yoursevendreams · 01-26-2006, 03:45 AM

I agree, but would add the East alternate version and Zero.

Mablak · 01-26-2006, 04:07 AM

There are so many, it befuddles me. I'll just give one from like each main album:
Gish- Tristessa
Siamese Dream- Cherub Rock
Mellon Collie- Here is No Why
Adore- Maybe not a solo, but the climax of For Martha is clearly amazing.
Machina- Um, still thinking..
MSOTS- Endless Summer's solo blew me away with its levels of complexity, Honestly was great as well.
TFE- The secret solo you hear when you play Strayz backwards.

Obscured & Blue · 01-26-2006, 04:28 AM

Gish - I Am One
Siamese Dream - Geek USA
Pisces Iscariot - Hello Kitty Kat
Mellon Collie - Here Is No Why
Aeroplane - Tribute To Johnny
Adore - For Martha (sublime moment in music, too underrated)
Machina TMOG - Not that much solo's on this album, but let's say Stand Inside Your Love
Machina TFAEOMM - Cash Car Star (like if I have a choice..)
Mary Star Of The Sea - Of A Broken Heart
The FutureEmbrace - Don't like this album

I've always been a fan of plume.

Obscured & Blue · 01-26-2006, 07:51 AM

The gravity-demo "The Groover" also contains yummy James-solo work.

sweetsupervixen · 01-26-2006, 09:44 AM

Ava Adore. I just love that solo. And I like the guitars on Everlasting Gaze.

CherubDaydream · 01-26-2006, 09:46 AM

The Here is no Why solo always blows me away...

This message board is not about pumpkins-adoration. It's about protecting yourself against bored, frustraded people, mostly men. I'm excited about that.

sigh..
