Worst guitar solo's

kartaron · 10-08-2004, 10:00 PM

Guitarworld magazine selected the "100 Worst Riffs, Licks & Solos of All Time," identifying ones that are "lazy," "boring," "just plain stoopid," or "involve C.C. Deville."

The list includes songs by David Bowie, Def Leppard, Metallica, Green Day, B.B. King, The Grateful Dead, Jimi Hendrix, Aerosmith and The Strokes, among others. Many are guitar legends who simply had a bad night or bum note.

Guitar World describes DeVille's nine-minute solo "completely devoid of taste, structure or steady tempo" and recommends every budding guitarist listen to it because "surely, they can't do any worse."

DeVille was also cited for his "Cherry Pie" solo when he played with Warrant and Poison's "Every Rose Has Its Thorn."

The magazine recommends DeVille "take solace in the fact that he's in some rather good company."

Rounding out the top 10:

"Summertime Blues," Blue Cheer

"The Game of Love," Carlos Santana

Falstaff beer 1967 radio spot, Cream

"All You Need is Love,"The Beatles

"Thirsty and Miserable," Black Flag

"Wango Tango," Ted Nugent

"Ain't Too Proud to Beg" Rolling Stones

"Sting of the Bumblebee," Manowar

"American Woman," Lenny Kravitz

The list appears in the magazine's December issue. I couldnt find the list of all 100 yet.

hehe, I love Sting of the Bumblebee by Manowar, but I think the song is simply to hard to play on guitar. The other's I will have to listen to.
