Best guitar solo piece of all time?
So... what is your favorite guitar solo piece of all time? It can be solos in songs, but I am aiming for things like Scuttle Buttin by SRV (my favorite) or Eruption by Van Halen!

Lemme give you my top 5:
**********
Steeler - Hot On Your Heels... Cuz if Eruption gets to be in the running, then Hot On Your Heels is Eligible too
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5vQwdheGiOA
The 3 minute intro is one of the best solos ever
**********
Yngwie Malmsteen's Rising Force - Black Star
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=blNQZc84Q5c
Before shredding became mindless fret masturbation, Yngwie and the neo-classical metal movement was amazing
***********
Megadeth - Lucretia
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TmyAvInKhuA
Marty Friedman's solo starts at 2:15, and then Dave Mustaine's starts at 2:56 until the song ends...
***********
Ozzy Osbourne - Mr. Crowley
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-2NQnxDDJE
Crazy Train gets all the love, but honestly Crazy Train can't even grasp one iota of the amazingness in Mr. Crowley... Both Randy Rhoads solos are amazing.
***********
John 5 - Pulling Strings
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s8FO5B-aClE
The best way to describe this song is bluesy rockabilly metal... Also John 5>Buckethead

Except for the obvious, one of my favorite solos that doesnt get thrown around too often is the one from "forever" by KISS. Arguably the greatest acoustic solo
(skip to 1:50)
