@EricTheWeary  ;; thanks for pointing this out. I have re done the links in different browsers & looks like I have to do all 3 together or the last one knocks the others off if I save in between, Anyway the Savages vid seems there now.

Edit- no it isn't because I took out the two dud links... bet the one below has gone too. Calling it a night...

Leather nun

@historyisjunk ooh I didn’t realise one was The Leather Nun - one of the sounds of my misspent youth.

Sorry but I forget how to embed YT vids and usually mess them up....

But here's some I like that kind of fit the brief.

 Husker Du - Plans I Make from the New Day Rising album.

For Vernon Reid, the unhinged solo on Times Up. It's a bit less 'traditional' in structure to the 'Cult of Personality' solo, even though that is surely his defining moment. 

Thin White Rope  - It's OK or Some Velvet Morning

Jon Spencer Blues Explosion - Afro (WTF was that? haha)

John Frusciante's one note solo on RHCP Power of Equality 

Swans - where to start? Maybe with The Seer

A case of I heard this and thought of you (about 1 min in):

SnazzyGeezer

This has got to be the top slot.
Love Pat,but not this !
Pat Metheny "Zero tolerance for Silence" !!!!!
"Let it go pat,and.....relax"

James blood Ulmer has done a few corkers in his time too.

Derek Bailey "Cor Derek,that's really free"

Bill Frisell,although,mainly with others.

I like 'em all,but not all they're output

Loobs

Derek Bailey was fucking incredible. Essentially invented a completely new idiom on guitar.

Anything by Don Caballero 

CHRISB50

Chuck in some Daisy Chainsaw.

Didn't really do solos as such but they are pretty noisy.

I think Satriani does a perfect job in this track with just the right amount of crazyness mixed in with regular playing 

Bebopper

Pete Cosey all over Miles Davis' 'Agharta'.

He first lets rip from 11:23 and it's glorious.

The best solos are those that add something to the theme of the song or take the song somewhere else.  A solo for the sake of a solo is pointless really.  

I always remember when I first heard the solo to Suicide Solution (live version, don't think I've ever heard the studio recording) I thought it was a load of mindless noise and guitar wankery - which was exactly the point.

It wasn't until years later that it occurred to me that Randy was conveying what it was like to be completely drunk with a guitar solo - quite mind blowing really.

As for noise solos, this one springs to mind - it is just noise, but again it works with the theme of the song.

Solo starts about 3:30

Not really noise, more just some dissonance but still with melody. Just rediscovered this band, great heavy 90s sound.

I somehow missed this thread earlier.

Seven pages and no-one has yet said (although a couple of mentions for John Cale and Lou Reed independently)...

Sister Ray




... or the Jesus And Mary Chain.
