It seemed like you weren't finished, so I fixed that for you.

Most of the choices in this thread are good so far, Maggot Brain and Robert Fripp are both great. My personal favs are Cliffs of Dover by Eric Johnson and The Curse of Castle Dragon by Paul Gilbert. I'll post a video later, YT is blocked at school and all the proxies in the world won't work :\

"Arriving Somewhere But Not Here" by Porcupine Tree (it's actually performed by Mikael Åkerfeldt (Opeth))

I really like the solo on Guns N Roses "Sweet Child O Mine"

Starts around 44 seconds in.

But who else likes that solo besides? Nobody. Why can't everybody love off-key atonal insanity as much as me?!!

I'm sure there are better ones, but that is the most recent awesome guitar solo I can think of.

Here's another favourite of mine...

Social Distortion - Don't Drag Me Down.

It gets me every time.

Hmn, if you guys want an incredible guitar solo, then Frost's Black Light Machine is the one to hear!!

(The solo starts at the 2:57 mark)

Two that get me are Black Label Societys "Sold My Soul" and Wishbone Ash's "Persephone"
