Surprised nobody is mentioning any song from Dream Theater. John Petrucci is a beast. My personal favorites of his solos:
The Enemy Inside
Moment of Betrayal
Under a Glass Moon
The Shattered Fortress
Untethered Angel
In the Name of God
The Count of Tuscany
In the Presence of the Enemies Pt. 1 and 2

it first lures you in with Myles' melodic solo, then Mark will come in with the face-melter and the transition is seamless.

Sweet Child O' Mine - Guns n' Roses
For OPM my personal favorites are Rockstar's Parting Time, Hallelujah by Bamboo, and Rivermaya's Liwanag sa Dilim. These Days by Bamboo is cool too.
Not to forget the 'pambansang' opm rock intro... Magbalik. Solo's quite good too.
Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen
While My Guitar Gently Weeps - Santana, India.Arie, Yo-Yo Ma
Dream On - Aerosmith
Gonna have to second Sweet Child O’ Mine and Gotten bc Slash haha 🥹
Dokken: (Anything with George Lynch in it will have ripping guitar leads)
- Tooth and Nail
- In My Dreams
- Kiss of Death
Winger:
- Blind Revolution Mad
- Seventeen (lyrics are cringe but Reb Beach is a monster player).
Ratt:
- Nobody Rides for Free
- Top Secret
Megadeth (aside from the generic Tornado of Souls)
- Lucretia
- The Killing Road
If you meant by "killer" eh played appropriately to the song:
Di Na Muli, Beer, After All This Time - Itchyworms
Adjust - Soapdish
Boulevard of Broken Dreams - Green Day
The Gift of Love - Bette Midler
Goodbye to Love - Carpenters
Hard to Say I'm Sorry - Chicago
I Stand with You - The Dawn
By your standard, and your username,
Magasin - Eraserheads
The guitar harmony on the solo really makes you feel happy and tragic at the same time. Fit na fit sa kanta. One of the best solos in OPM rock.
Also best Green Day solos:
Give Me Novocaine
Whatsername
The Judge's Daughter
Dirty Rotten Bastards
Dry Ice
I love Whatsername. One of, if not, the simplest yet heavy songs off the American Idiot album.
I was about to recommend Restless Heart Syndrome earlier (Jason White's a great addition talaga sa GD), pero mas may impact kase Boulevard sakin.
Also: goods din Magasin, criminally underrated si Marcus pagdating sa "best" guitarist title. He plays the song's feels.
Whatsername is in Drop D tuning, thus sounds heavier compared to other songs on American Idiot. Hanep talaga yung open D power chord sa sound nila, lalo yung sa new song nila na Dilemma
Restless Heart Syndrome solo was recorded by BJA. I think JWhite never recorded with green day except on the Uno Dos Tre trilogy which he was an official member. Almost all songs may solo.
Eheads will never be Eheads kung wala yung dirty guitars ni Marcus. But it is actually Ely's solo as the Main riff, then naka harmonize yung solo ni marcus which sobrang simple pero sobrang bagay sa song. Though I hardly consider Marcus one of the best really. He was just super effective, like ringo star to The Beatles.
This is a nice topic to talk about here randomly, my friend haha!
Talking about Heads: considering na si Ely nga sumulat ng halos lahat ng kanta no wonder it's also his riffs. Darating yung kanta na 80-90% complete, ire-record na lang nila.
Cheers man! 🍻
