The second one in RRR is okay, but the fluffed screeching feedback first one is very bad. Worst start-of-solo I ever heard.

As for the rest, I actually prefer Sterling solos such as "Guess I'm Falling in Love" and "White Light/White Heat" (1993 live).

Some great guitar solos off the top of my head (there's probably more)...

Lou: "What Goes On" album version (out of this world!), "I Can't Stand It" 1969 Live version.

Sterl: "I'm Set Free", "That's Story Of My Life", "I'm Waiting For The Man" Live At Max's Kansas City version ("alright Sterl!"), "Rock & Roll" Live MCMXCIII version.

Doug: "Rock & Roll" Loaded version, "One Of These Days" slide guitar at the end.

Waiting for the man off 7-11 and guitar Amp

When people mention solos it always makes me think of Spinal Tap for some reason lol!!!

I'm not actually a fan of solos to be honest. They seem far better suited to free jazz than any other types of music. I can't really think of one from the VU which stands out to me but if I think I'd pick European Son as my favourite.

Morrison: Over You (Live 1969)

Reed: Hey Mr Rain (1993) is pretty good. Of course Heard Her Call My Name second solo, but that has been said so many times already...

The outro on the album version of "Rock N' Roll"

Is it just me or does The 2nd fret one destroy this version?

the bluesy What Goes On from The 2nd Fret!

yeah, the solo from rock n roll on the quine tapes destroys the studio album version. thanks a lot dougie
