Greatest metal guitar solo of all time?

[twosuitsluke]

God I hope The Black Mages reform one day, I would give anything to see them live

[MrBoom_shack-a-lack]

I can't really find one solo that's better than better or greater than anything else. I however have a soft spot for solos that intertwine with a song in some way, like this cool duo by Arjen Lucassen and Erik Norlander:

So many cool things going on. While staying on topic one has to mention Michael Romeos brilliant solo in Dawn of a Million Souls on the same album.

Already taken care of.  Amazing solo.

Yeah, BTV is an amazing one from JP.  The SX is a good one too.

If you're a Romeo fan, you need to check out the solo on Ayreon's Dawn of A Million Souls.

Awesome!  I remember Arjen mentioning how floored he was by Michaels solo when he first heard it.
