The guitar solo in Metallica's The Unforgiven is definitely in the top 5 of all time.

Change my mind.

Metallica’s Creeping Death is way better.

Change my mind.

It's good, but it's just raw speed.

The Unforgiven solo shows a way deeper musicality and has an elegance that Creeping Death is missing.

Okay, speed and energy, less mature, point taken.

But… what about that solo from Am I Evil?

How about No Leaf Clover solo?

These are my top 2:

Tornado of Souls

November Rain

November Rains outro puts the solo to shame.

💯

For those that have not listen to it:

the guitar solo starts around minute 3:20

YES! And particularly the run that happens at about 4:06. Not technically that hard, but so jazzy for being a metal song.

Angus on this solo starting at minute 2:28 approx is probably in the top 10 of all times
