dragonforce are a bunch of n00bs, they can't even play their crap live properly, imo
they are only good at shredding, even then they can't even do it properly in front of
an audience.
if you want some awesome solos check these out
Paradigm Shift by Liquid Tension Experiment, their guitarist, John Petrucci is amazing to
say the least...Acid Rain by them has a decent solo...

I'd say Comfortably Numb by Pink Floyd. It's not incredibly difficult but it sounds just so heavy and awesome. Solos shouldn't be about how difficult they are to play, more how musically brilliant they are. Comfortably Numb is way up there on that list, especially if you consider the Pulse version.

Stuff like Dragonforce doesn't impress me. To my ears it's the sound of wasted talent. Sure they play incredibly well, but it's just a mish-mash of noise rather than anything remotely musical.

Way to expand your music knowledge beyond Guitar Hero 3.

Van Halen - Eruption (based mostly on technical ability)

Dragonforce...lolololololol...*sigh*

I really like the solo in Lynyrd Skynyrd - Free Bird. Theres plenty of great solos out there, I'm not sure I'd be able to choose a favourite.

Tornado of Souls by Megadeth

Anything by Dragonforce. I don't care what any of you say, these guys can play guitar.
edit: Free Bird is a great song too, amazing solo.

Free Bird, in case you're a complete philistine and you've never heard it before.

I reckon Comfortably Numb is a better solo. Money is definitely good though.

I would say Jenna Haze has the best solo scenes.  Er...

Slash's in November Rain is pretty epic.

I don't dispute that that is good, but in music it's not all about the notes you play, more important is the notes you leave out. Generally in metal, in particular speed metal, artists just don't do that, and although what they play is impressive it's just constant noise which although sounds good is lacking a lot of musicality.

Eric Johnson is very good at the guitar. I'm just not a fan of his music.

Call me a snob. Meh.
