Raining blood has awesome guitar in it. They use the same beat in a little jon song, who can guess what song.

Stop ****in Wit Me.

Raining Blood has been covered a lot...Tori Amos has and Reggie and the Full Effect, to name two. I think the song is fine but I'm not sure the guitar solo is great....fast, but that makes it hard to play well technically...not a lot of diversity. Of course, with death metal...you don't really need to play well.

Had to edit that twice to say what I was trying to say.

Yea I know it isn't the greatest but i love the way it sounds. Not really the most complex.

For a solo WITHIN a song:

1.) Rik Emmitt...Truimph..."Rock 'N' Roll Machine"...on "Stages: Live"

2.) Ted Nugent..."Wang Dang Sweet Poontang"...on "Double Live Gonzo"

3.) Michael Schenker..."UFO..."Rock Bottom"...on "Strangers In the Night"

For Just a STRAIGHT OUT solo:

1.) John Petrucci...Dream Theater..."John Petrucci Guitar Solo"...on "Once In A Livetime"

As you can tell.....I'm an old fart!!

Hendrix- Voodoo Chile (A Slight Return)

There are so many good ones, but nothing touches that song, IMO.

Freebird is WAY overplayed...it was great back in the day but now it just seems very basic.
