With Mike being a Guitarist primarily you would gather most here are suckers for a great solo.

This one is pretty much up there, any others?

I seem to remember there's a good one in "On the Turning Away", but I'm feeling too lazy to track it down!

Dont know how to upload a vid or post a picture, but Id chip in with La Villa Strangiato Alex Lifeson of Rush

Comfortably numb....awesome, lucky enough to have seen it live a few times both by Gilmour and the totally totally awesome Australian Pink Floyd....if you like Floyd, go see this band they are as good as the original.....

Ommadawn...possibly my favourite MO 1st side....I find the drumming just as fantastic and the song just raises my spirit...always find myself singing the nonesense lyrics out loud

Both of those had the hair standing up on the back of my neck this morning...so thanks for posting them up

One solo I consider one of my all time best is the solo of Kirk Hammet in the song Damage, Inc on the Master of Puppet album from Metallica. So intense and inspired.

Wondering why they only played it during one tour. So nice and emotional, it's like Pink Floyd music tries to go beyond your hearing sense, shiver and almost smell something too.

I like how he makes his solos converging to only a few notes.

More notes in this French complicated one:

In my opinion that's not a patch on the guitar solo in "Celt".

I agree - the best GUITAR solo in the land. :cool:

Mastodon - Oblivion

Rush - Limelight

All I can think of at the moment, there's many more of course.

The little one in "Heaven's Open" is great too.

Well , can we speak about solos when we do mention of his Seventies works ? ....i'm asking to me because in this time his solos were very long ..( happily for us they were very long ! That's what we love in Mike

)

..but for me , solos are shorter...between two verses for example .

so the one in the Inner child after Rosa sung with the electric guitar but also the one with the acoustic guit !

.and for me a great solo from Mike is the one played in Shine ..in French : " C'est un "must" !!!

Mini, yet varied, solo ("petit mais costaud"):

Steve Howe's solo on "Awaken". That's extraordinary!

(no link, can't access youtube at work!)

They actually played it infrequently on the 1994 tour as well (the one that Pulse is from). And Gilmour played it at least once on his 2006 tour.

And yeah, it is a really good song.

Mike:

Non-Mike [seeing that there's a lot of Pink Floyd stuff here...]:

Note that these are not my favourites ever. Especially in the field of guitar solos, an all-time favourite (either by Mike or not) just doesn't exist for me. It's just that in this very moment I felt like posting David Gilmour. Within a minute I may post Joe Satriani.

@ Milamber: "Comfy Numb" is the absolute top of Gilmour's playing for Pink Floyd - it's the solo of solos. By the way, what is your latest signature taken from? Is it a quote from a song? And may the last line (i.e. ""**** *o*** *n* *'m ***e") be written in full here, or it's too dirty?

The background guitars and singers are unfortunately too loud, they seem to ignore him, like pupils not paying attention.

This is maybe because he's not the main performer, Tom Petty is (although Prince should actually be the main performer, this being his induction into the Rock'n'Roll Hall of Fame) and it's not his song. He never felt really comfortable when playing in songs he didn't write. I didn't catch him playing for George Harrison's induction, but I guess his playing was not at his top levels also in that occasion.

There is more creativity in 10 seconds of Mike's music than in 1,000 flamenco pieces. I don't find it boring though, it's always the same thing, but not boring.

The last words are probably "and I'm gone". Or given that he works with paint, he's probably saying "More Solva and I'm done".
