I'm in Rock Mode now!

First up – "Heaven & Hell" by Black Sabbath with Ronnie James Dio on vocals from 4 min 26 seconds onwards!

Sabbath Bloody Sabbath

Welcome To The Jungle

Have you tried Jimi Hendrix's Valleys of Neptune? Some very good new (to me) solos on there.

Floods by Pantera

Led Zep too many to mention one off Led Zep 2 I suppose

I've always been a huge Knopfler fan and Telegraph Road is one of my favourite pieces of music (live version's best).

Not very 'rocky', but the guitar solo a couple of minutes in, and again the outro need to be played LOUD…

A… May… Ziiiinnnnngggggggg!

Steve Vai – Bad Horsie.

Nothing has the power to make me turn that dial clockwise like that tune.

Anything by BTO.

The last 4 minutes of 'Youth Youth Youth' from the debut Generation X album.

Husker Du – Plans I Make

What about Come Up and See Me (Make Me Smile) by Steve Harley and Cockney Rebel…

from 4 min 26 seconds onwards!

LOL! Should be halfway through the next song by then. Short and sweet is where it's at.

The Only Ones

Come as you are – Nirvana

queens of the stone age – no one knows
some arctic monkeys stuff, brianstorm for example
jimi hendrix – all along the watchtower

Controlled feedback guitar solo at the end of We will rock you by Queen.

Little Fury Things – Dinosar Jr

Gary Moores cover of Friday on My Mind– can never decide whether it's inspired or self indulgent claptrap.

Oh my! This will take some pontificating. 🙄

Off the top of my head I couldn't say but there's certainly a few contenders including the brilliant Joe Bonamassa who I shall see on Sunday. 8)

Stones – Sympathy for the Devil. The best guitar sound ever.

White Stripes – Black Math (2nd song on Elephant album)

The start of Thunderstruck AC/DC

+1 for Thunderstruck 8) Looking forward to Download and seeing Acca Dacca live for the first time (even if they're getting a little geriatric now 😆 !)

Guns'n'Roses – Sweet Child of Mine… must be cranked to 11 whenever I hear it!

White Stripes – Black Math (2nd song on Elephant album)

Good shout

Old skool: Metallica, For Whom the Bell Tolls

New Stuff: Muse: Knights of Cydonia

What about Come Up and See Me (Make Me Smile) by Steve Harley and Cockney Rebel…

Legend has it that the guitarist who did that solo was so out of his head when he recorded it, he took ages to "learn" it afterwards when he had to play it live.

Frank Marino – World Anthem (live version)

Gimme Shelter – Stones
Down by the River – Neil Young

Phantom of the Opera by Iron Maiden can only be played loud.

And this guy's version is pretty cool. Check out his other videos's and weep with jealousy if (like me) you have any illusions that you can play guitar.

Paul Gilbert (Mr Big and RacerX). Used to play solos with cordless drill etc. But for ridiculous guitar solo, try:

from about 3:20 in – excellent despite crap sound quality – includes playing using his teeth…

'Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love – Van Halen
Song 2 – Blur
Smells Like Teen Spirit – Nirvana

I've always been a huge Knopfler fan and Telegraph Road is one of my favourite pieces of music (live version's best).

Actually I prefer the outro on the album version. I really like the way the focus shifts between the various instruments, rather than just being focused on the guitar. The live version of Sultans of Swing is very nice though.

The solo in the Red Hot Chili Pepper's Can't Stop may only be 7 notes long but it is very good indeed.

Others I really like include Hysteria by Muse, Long Snake Moan by PJ Harvey, Someday I Will Treat You Good by Sparklehorse and Lakini's Juice by Live.

Jane's Addiction – Three Days

Having a bit of a rock revival myself – and booked in for download for the first time in 17 years – might be more of a mid life crisis than a rock revival.

Anyway – zack wildes Black label society – All for you has a pretty good mix of gut busting riff and blistering solo.

That and the chickenfoot album

boght the new remaster of heaven and hell too – it's good but the recording level is a bit quiet, so on the mp3 player it's a struggle to get loud enough – RIP RJD

Resurection by Stone Roses
Whole lot of Rosie by AC/DC
3 Days by Janes Addiction….actally all of there stuff.
And some one had to say it but Free Bird by Lynard Skynard…

"Treat me like your Mother" The dead Weather.

Corroded….you beat me to the post!!…Good man

Please feel free to laugh…..

Crying in the Rain – Whitesnake
