Every track on "L" from Steve Hillage. Thats for when I feel a bit of a hippy and want rattle my beads. Now when I have washed the sheets back to white, put on my pointy hat and put as match to the cross it can only be Freebird by Lynyrd Skynyrd.

Can't believe Ace of Spades has only had one mention. 🙄 It's THE guitar song for playing at full whack!

Ace of Spades sounds loud even when it's not.

Rush opened with the intro to "Spirit of Radio" at the Wembly arena a few years ago. A perfect choice - see them fingers move!

The Stooges - [url=

Eye[/url][url= http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-U7lfbada-Y ]Loose[/url] - these are probably my faves, everything else sounds weak afterwards. Love the [url= http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8K8S-1BwoJ0 ]live footage from 1970[/url]... "This is ****ing blood!"

Slayer - Reign in Blood, Angels of Death

Both of which were played at No12 never mind 11 last night.

Got a mate coming to see them on Saturday and his only knowledge of them is that track of Guitar Hero..... his ears are in for a baptism of fire.

LOL , too right , my ears are still whistling 😈

Only because I haven't listened to it for ages and this thread made me think of it:

Unbeliever - Therapy? (Try it, with your volume up, from the start!).

And owt by QOTSA, Muse, etc.

Good riding music and no mistake!

Most of Neil Young's Crazy Horse stuff. I love that simple but very loud and overdriven stuff.

I also have to turn up the volume every time for the bit at the end of The Beatles Abbey Road, the bit the Beastie Boys sampled.

Some good ones here; +1 QOTSA [i]No One Knows[/i], Apollo 440 [i]Ain't Talkin' About Dub[/i], to which I'd add Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers [i]American Girl[/i], and Nils Lofgren [i]Night Fades Away[/i].
LOVE those two songs, especially [i]Night Fades Away[/i], Lofgren gets those amazing second harmonics which whistle on certain notes, never fails to have me wacking the volume right up and singing 'til my voice cracks. On my own, of course. :mrgreen:

Joe Bonamassa - Sloe Gin
GnR - Sweet Child
The Darkness - Is it just me?
Rush - Witch Hunt (In fact, pretty much any Rush!)

Some more from me;

Marillion - Splintering Heart
Skid row - Wasted Time, 18 and Life
Little Angels - Boneyard (From the Live Jam album. Any rock band with a horn section just has to rock!)
GnR - Move to the City (from the Live Era album. Normal rock fare until Axl says, "Ladies and gentlemen.....the band!" and it turns in to a mad, big band, jazz and rock mayhem rack. Epic.)
Love/Hate - Black out in the red room
Tesla - Love Song (the version from Five Man Acoustical Jam)
Gun - Word Up. Covertastic!

Am sure I can think of more...!

Oooo, decisions... A few oldies -

The Rock Glory solo - [url=

Wish It Would Rain by Little Caesar[/url] (at 2.10, brilliant, if short)

The Power Metal solo -[url=

Out, by Anthrax[/url] (at 3.55, by Dimebag, RIP)

The 'Up to 11' song - [url= http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WccfbPQNMbg ]LOOUUUDDD![/url]

The 'Emotional Wreck Solo' - [url= http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0zxWWSdrYE&feature=PlayList&p=AE38901A74C80EE8&playnext_from=PL&playnext=1&index=8 ]My Day, by Noise Ratchet[/url] (solo at 3.10; pause, turn lights down, let it wash over you... not sure about the video, mind!)

This is a seriously tough one and these are in no particular order:

'Voodoo Child' by Stevie Ray Vaughan (from 'Live at Montreaux').

'Little Wing' By SRV again (from 'The Sky is Crying').

Joe Bonamassa - anything from 'A New Day Yesterday Live' (to my ears, the definitive JB album).

SRV manages to get my spine tingling and there's no words on Little Wing. I know these are Hendrix but he played them so well.

A mention must be made for Free and Paul Kossoff who sadly is no longer with us.

Also Carlos Santana but can't decide which.

Better stop now, can't you just tell I love guitars? 🙄

Wow, where to start...

2nd cinnamon_girl for SRV's version of Little Wind but I'd have to go with JB's Slow Gin. What a solo in the title track, took me weeks to work it out.

John Petrucci's (Dream Theater) solo from Glass Moon is a stunner and pretty much ANYTHING by Richie Kotzen, especially his work with Poison (yes, I know) but his tone and note choice is the work of a genius.

Audioslave - Cochise
Motorhead - Killed By Death
Aerosmith/Run DMC - Walk This Way

edit: these are songs that beg to be played loud rather than great solos

...sublime track from Weller. This track has been known to convert the odd heshie or two... 😉 (shame someone's added a USA-centric video)

Abominable Iron Sloth - Hats Made of Veal.. etc. That song up loud is so heavy 🙂

Solo wise, it's cheesy but the (full length) one in My Sharona is a great one.

+1 for Baba O'Riley, my youngest (aged 4 at the time) used to insist that we played BO'R by The Who at window-rattling volumes in the car!!!

I'd like to add
Budgie - Breadfan. Metalicas cover on Garage Day is almost as good.
