Power metal guitar solos are basically the exact opposite of a guitar solo I like. I like to actually be able to hear the notes being played in a guitar solo.
"All Along the Watchtower" by Hendrix is one of my favorite guitar solos because it goes all over the place, but it's not this constant overbearing force like power metal solos are. It pauses, changes direction, slows down, speeds up...
Come to think of it, pretty much all Hendrix solos are great. If you count "Machine Gun" as basically one long guitar solo, that might be my favorite solo.
But yeah, zero love for most heavy metal solos. "Tyrant" by Priest is the only long, complicated heavy metal solo I legitimately like.
