Favorite JP Solo?
« on: June 11, 2016, 08:01:58 PM »
I just thought of a list of solo's in which I have a hard time ranking and I was wondering what would be your favorite solo? And can you please rank it?

Constant Motion
People figured out that the white thing that comes out of cows' titties could be drunk, and the relation between sweet desires and women's bellies growing up for 9 months. It can't be THAT hard to figure out how a trumpet works.”

I'd definitely vote for Lines in the Sand, but given the choices I'm up for Voices  :metal

To those who voted Voices, may you please tell me why you chose Voices over Lie? There's a solo that leads to Petrucci shredding while Lie has much more variety.

I just think it's more melodic and well structured than the others in the list, which are also really cool! But as a guitar player I would like to learn the Voices solo the most

Voices might be my favorite JP solo ever, not just from this list.  It has everything in it, kicks total ass, and works perfectly within the context of the song.

The solo at the end of Lie is definitely most awesome, too.  Even though I don't care for Constant Motion, the main riff and JP's solo are both great.

Panic Attack and As I Am are both good, but not really notable when you consider how many solos he has that are better.

I"m a sucker for JP solos in the Awake album. Scarred is my favorite but Voices is not far behind it (voted for Voices from that list)

Voices is probably my favourite solo of all time, so it gets the nod here, do love that Lie outro though.

Lie

Voices




Constant Motion
As I Am


I can't even remember the last two solos, they seem a little outclassed with the Awake duo. I think the Lie solo captures the feel of the album very well. It starts moody and winding and gets more frantic and panicky as it goes along. Probably my second favourite Petrucci solo. Voices is amazing as well though, and is definitely a top 10

Definitely Voices.

Although I'm not crazy about Constant Motion, the instrumental section is without question fantastic.
Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

That's probably my favorite MP drum part. It just reeks of awesomeness.

Voices, without a doubt. The other three are good but I can think of so many other solos that are better.

The lead in to the Voices solo is so good it makes the lead that much better.  It's also my favorite "JP loves his WAH pedal" Solo.
