OK, searching through the forum I noticed we've already had a similar topic a couple of years ago, but who cares. What's your favorite guitar solo in the whole FB discography?
This will change everyday, but my favorite for today is the end solo of Fazer Eyes. Nothing really spectacular but I love it. I wish it wouldn't fade.

Yeah, that's a really nice two-guitars-interplaying solo.

The solo in Solid Gold is pretty high up there. I'm also quite partial to the solo on Nadine. |

Say wha? There's some damn good solos out there. Masturbatory solos are lame on records, you're right, but if it's a well written part of the song, solos can be great!
Exception is live, when if you have a great guitarist, a masturbatory solo is a thing of joy.
I remember Lyle Workman looking down at me in the front row after a particularly excellent masturbatory solo with the Catholics - me with an "I'm not worthy" look on my face, and him giving me the "I know I'm rad" sly wink.
But yeah, there sure are a lot of songs that don't need solos and have them anyway. |

Normally, I hate guitar solos. A guitar solo typically consists of a pentatonic scale played masturbatorily in order to make the song longer.
The solo in "White Noise Maker" is an exception. |

Hi, vanishing spy! Yeah, that's another great solo. Lyle is great!

No one mentioned my namesake...The Vanishing Spies from TOTY. go back and listen to thank guitar solo. Not only is it the best on a Frank album, it may be the best solo of all time!
It is artful and symmetrical and perfect and ends the song perfectly. Someone mentioned this earlier but...booooo to songs that fade out. i know Frank does it occassionally but I I overlook that. A band needs to know how to end a song...

I'll take the little solo between the verses of "Hostess With the Mostest". I've always assumed it was Lyle but please correct me if I'm wrong. |

i would go for "solid gold". thalla is cool, too.
in fact, lyle is the solo man. as much as i like the later catholics sound, the solos on teenager, cult and fb&tc are the best.

Yes! Had forgotten about that one. Both the beggining and end solos on that song are beautiful. |

Yes to whom ever said End of Miles. I've been playing guitar for over 20 years (officialy making me a guitar solo authority!) and I gotta say that that one is probably in my top three faves out of any player. Nothing too fancy but all the feeling in the world and pretty damn near perfect in my opinion. Most of Lyle's shit is great but my faves of his are probably Solid Gold and I really like the one in King and Queen of Siam with that vibrato effect. Oh and the playfulness of the one in 666. Good topic vilainde.

You know, when Pistolero was released part of the reason why I didn't like it was the guitar solos. I mean, the ones in I Love Your Brain are ugly. Since then I've seen Rich live several times and I love what he does but I'm not a fan of what he did on some songs on Pistolero.

that song is so guitar heavy, and it sounds so much like Rich Gilbert live. Listen to it now!

Yeah, exactly. Even though I think the solos sound great it doesn't seem there's alot of thought been put into them. Probably part of the spontaneity of the live recording process, which in some ways I like.

I like the solo at the end of Thalassocracy too. Short and sweet.
