Bruce Dickinson - A Chemical Wedding. SO heavy. Very atmospheric. Not Maiden, but outstanding.

Sure, but by that point, Bruce WAS a solo artist.

Steve Hackett's Voyage of the Acolyte would qualify for this as it's a great record and it was made while he was still a member of Genesis.

Michael Romeo's solo album.
Good call!  I can't believe I forgot to mention that one.   :metal

Which one? Because....he has two. Very far apart from each other.

Guessing you mean War of the Worlds and not Dark Chapter.
That is correct. I haven't even heard of Dark Chapter, how good is it?

That's a solid contender, right there.  GREAT album. 

Trivia: for the longest time, "Mihalis" was often played on the Weather Channel, during the "Weather on the Eights" segments.

Fair enough. Although I was thinking in terms of by whom we normally identify the performer.

I assume Mark Tremonti is counting as a solo artist at this point?

I think it's phenomenal. Definitely a neo-classical shredfest (and all instrumental), but with more unpredictability. Though, there are other differences from DC and War of the Worlds beyond not having vocals.
