Inspired by JP's recent video discussing Barstool Warrior where he used his favorite metaphor of playing on top of a cliff, hair flying in the wind, hawks flying around :lol to describe his approach to the BW solo. You can choose up to 3 options, and you can change your vote. 

Architeuthis

Octavarium outro
The Bigger Picture
Fall into The Light

The Walrus

Oh it's gotta be Best of Times. I can already see the camera panning in my head as the part from 1:30 plays, and the high notes 2 minutes in.  :lol

What about TCOT?

Indeed!  Second one I looked for after AWE outro.

Under a Glass Moon?

It's a different type of solo, not the standing on top of a cliff type. :-)

OK I will edit it in, you can change your vote in the poll.

SleeperAwake

Lines In The Sand
The Spirit Carries On
Octavarium outro

Zydar

Fall Into The Light
The Best Of Times
The Spirit Carries On

The Curious Orange

I'd play the solo from the Inevitable Summer section of ACOS, but of the options given, I voted for -

Spirit Carries On
Lines in the Sand
Octavarium-Razor's Edge

Ninjabait

Razor's Edge
The Best of Times outro

Third would definitely be This is the Life, but that wasn't an option so I guess I'll go with Count of Tuscany outro

Indiscipline

Standing on top of a cliff I would be quite careful about my stompboxes.

Seriously:

TAC

Yes...The Best Of Times.


I might also go with the Budokan version of the outro for In The Name Of God.
Quote from: wkiml on June 08, 2012, 09:06:35 AMwould have thought the same thing but seeing the OP was TAC i immediately thought Maiden or DT related
Quote from: Stadler on February 08, 2025, 12:49:43 PMI wouldn't argue this.

Ah, the majestic guitar solo!  Many good options are listed, but what about Scarred??  Specifically starting at around 8:30, he builds it up to a glorious crescendo and goes out with some of his all-time best sweep picking.  Also, the into to Innocence Faded is particularly hair-blowy and glorious.  I guess I'm in an Awake mood today!

Of the options listed though, I chose Erotomania (yes, I need to listen to Awake apparently), Through Her Eyes and Our New World.

Scarred has a very good solo but I don't picture as a "on top of a cliff solo" because it is too...upbeat? Like UAGM.

I indeed missed TITL. Sorry about that.
