What is your favorite?

Extremely hard to choose. I can go either way with SCOM, Nightrain, second Estranged solo, Don't Damn me or Locomotive.

I'll go with Estranged simply because it's their best song.

Damn, now that is a hard pick, so many killer solos in that list!

The Nightrain outro is the like THE perfect solo to me. Exactly the right choice of notes to compliment the song, but then again, Slash does that with most of the GN'R songs he plays on.

Will have to think about this one before making a vote.

I think I might be close to picking the first Estranged solo, but all the solos in that song are great.

Ah, too many choices!

Yeah, it was harder than I thought. It's like favoring one of your children, I kinda feel bad about it.

Choose one? No f way. It's impossible. Lately me and my brother 'played' a game. The task was to choose the 10 favourite solos from Slash, but in no order, since it'd be impossible. I did my homework, spent a few hours with listening the solos and trying to make the decision. He had tried it and then confessed that failed. Cause it was too hard.

Here is my list I sent to my brother. Long live

One in a Million
Double Talkin' Jive (live)
November Rain
The Garden
Bad Apples
Estranged
Neither Can I
Back and Forth Again
Shine
Serial Killer

Yeah, no AFD. Now you can guess how much i LOVE these solos.

I really like Nightrain. Just listened to AFD on the way to work today. It rocks socks.

SCOM...hands down his one true iconic moment. His best solo on one of the best pop/rock songs of all time.

I got a soft spot for The Garden as well. I just love the way the solo fades in to Axl's trippy vocal.

I have to go with the first solo in Estranged.  It comes right after my favorite lyrics from Axl.  When you hear them together, it gives me the sense that whatever I'm going through ain't so bad.

Scom is not only one of Slash's best, but one of the best guitar solos of all time.

Scom
Rock Bottom (UFO)
Rainbow in the Dark (Dio)

3 of my all time favorite solos.

That song is a lot better than I remember it. Great solo too. Really a gem when I come to think about it. Got that dreamy quality.
