Hawk's always waiting/hoping for the universe to collapse.

The thing about solos is, how do you define "best" or "greatest"? It's not going to be just shredding. There are so many. You can have introspective acoustic or classical ones that just drop your jaw


Shredders
(from 3:35)
(from 5:17)
Bluesy ones
(from 3:51)
Emotional ones
(from 6:40)

All of which kick May's solo into Slash's cocked top hat.
I don't think most people even consider Bo-Rhap as a guitar solo song anyway. I certainly don't. This is just, as already pointed out, guitar players licking each other's arses.
