Which Guitar Solo of the late 1980s Did You Really Think Was Cool?

[MeHereNow]

Outro solo from "Paradise city" still gets me every time

 

[NotTheArrow]

Janes Addiction - Nothings Shocking - Navarro - Every guitar part on there.

 

[Tony Done]

This was a mind blower. Lots of pressure at family gatherings being a Mexican American that played guitar when this hit. You have to nail the rock n’ roll solo and the son jarocho solo. Either is no small feat!

My favourite version of that song, and I think that the jarocho at the end really makes it.

 

[sahhas]

always loved that intro-it was with his steinberger guitar and a boss HM-2 pedal-which i just dreamed about getting back in the 80s!!!!!! ha!

The opening solo...

 

[sahhas]

always loved this song off DLR's 2nd solo album:

 

[sahhas]

Steve Steven's on Billy Idol's "don't need a gun":


actually , the whole album was so good, saw that tour also, and SS was just on fire!!!!!

 

[76_Futura]

This album came out right at the end of 1989 and i still love everything about this song

Clapton's bend at the 3:27-ish mark is nasty (in a good way).

 

[bdc123]

Every solo is great in this álbum.

YES!!!! A hundred times over!

 

[Grim1]

Probably my fav solo of all time after comfortably numb, reb beach, winger, headed for a heartbreak

 

[telecode101]

Wow.. A lot of metal. Thats cool. Here's my list. Both around 1/2 through the song.

Jeff Beck



Also.. this is not techncially a guitar.. but close enough.. David Lindley.. I still think one of the great tones of the century.

 

[telecode101]

opps. sorry.. late 80s.. I remember this one well. Neil Geraldo

 

[Baba]
