king_buzzo 12.18.2006 02:42 PM

yes j mascis is god, thank you.
sugar kane solo is pretty skillfull though.
dino jr- mountain man, freak scene, wagon, feel the pain. out there.........
basically what you should say 'yeah man, j is the best guitarist ever!'

henrix solos are pretty interesting, as well as neil youngs.

mudhoneys/steves are pretty good but they just tush through them even though they are quite bluesy and awesome.

john frusciante has special solos as well, like suck my kiss, what the hell? i couldnt learn that tapping part, its pretty easy though.

yeah yeah yeahs- maps
black flag- rise above
meat puppets- oh me
bb king- the thrill is gone
johnny cash- folsom prison blues
dinosaur jr.- kracked
white stripes- ball and a biscuit
yo la tengo- sugar cube
albert king- crosscut saw
minutemen- dont look now

king_buzzo 12.18.2006 02:58 PM

yeah i forgot kracked!!! its such an awesome song.

greg ginns and dr knows (is that his name) solos are sick!

the solo on search and destroy on raw power from the stooges is quite good, but i prefer the first record when ron asheton was the guitarist.

Raw Power's guitar tones are vicious!! R. Asheton's my man though. He played bass on Raw Power.
After the Stooges Ron joined this group called Destroy All Monsters. Really interesting noisy dark shit

ron's amazing now, live footage.... i got that dvd, dont know the name, but hes awesome in it

LittlePuppetBoy 12.18.2006 03:19 PM

The solo in Cut your Hair by Pavement is quite good too.

But yes, J Mascis is quite the fine guitarist

As is Ginn (honorable mention goes to the solos in American Waste and Beat My Head Against the Wall)

A Stooges DVD?

Danny Himself 12.18.2006 03:24 PM

Not essentially a solo, but the little riff in Pavement's 'Pueblo' is amazing. The solo that ends J Mascis' song 'Bobbin' is great too.

the main show is awesome.

it also has the lagandary comback gig when scott asheton plays on buckets and only iggy, scott and ron are playing and talking about how they wrote the songs

LittlePuppetBoy 12.18.2006 03:29 PM

This statement might cause some disagreements, but I think Billy Corgan is a very underrated guitarist. Even for those who hat the SP have to admit he is very skilled.

king_buzzo 12.18.2006 03:34 PM

yeah they are pretty skilled, gish has quite cool guitar parts

atsonicpark 12.18.2006 03:45 PM

I'd say any butthole surfers solo. Specifically all in dust devil.

LittlePuppetBoy 12.18.2006 03:48 PM

I forgot to mention the solo in Vamos by the Pixies.

eatmychild 12.18.2006 03:58 PM

Kim Thayil of Suundgarden on Like Suicide... and many other songs off superunknown. Also Josh Homme has had some good solos with Kyuss.

king_buzzo 12.18.2006 04:00 PM

yeah kim thayil has short solos but theyre fucking hard and so technical.

king_buzzo 12.18.2006 04:00 PM

some cobain solos on bleach, like school sound awesome as wel.
