Members =JL= Posted February 23, 2010 Members Share Posted February 23, 2010 I agree, they often are cheesy, but at least if we keep playing them it'll stop saxophones coming back into fashion. Now they ARE cheesy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BG76 Posted February 23, 2010 Members Share Posted February 23, 2010 so you're saying that Nitro's Freight Train is cheesy because it has the bad ass solo by MA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Engl Kramer Posted February 23, 2010 Author Members Share Posted February 23, 2010 so you're saying that Nitro's Freight Train is cheesy because it has the bad ass solo by MA? Not sure if you're serious. Come to think of it - not sure if they were serious. I never got to the solo- I blacked out from lactose intolerence.

Members hellion_213 Posted February 23, 2010 Members Share Posted February 23, 2010 Personally, I like a good solo in a song. Note that I said IN a song, NOT the whole song. When a song is written around the solo, that's when it becomes cheese, IMO. Wanking, in most cases, is best done in the privacy of one's home. EDIT: Some people can do it constructively and make it sound good- Satriani. Others...............cheese. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members czarny Posted February 23, 2010 Members Share Posted February 23, 2010 Cheese is way better than guitar solos. It is completely unfair to compare the greatness of cheese to the weakness of solos. But what about solos played on this - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is completely unfair to compare the greatness of cheese to the weakness of solos. But what about solos played on this - A good point well made sir. I shall however remove my flameproof suit to reveal the troll within, before adding: Metal solos are easily the worst. Overly flash and horribly horribly cheesy in the worst mild cheese kind of way. I'm a Metal dude and I love all the palm muted rhythm goodness I can get- but when that solo starts - laters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members stormin1155 Posted February 23, 2010 Members Share Posted February 23, 2010 I don't know if I'd call guitar solos cheezy. I do think they are often overdone. Not every song benefits from a gutar solo, and it takes an awfully fine player to keep my interest past 8 or 12 bars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not every song benefits from a gutar solo, and it takes an awfully fine player to keep my interest past 8 or 12 bars. +1000. You nailed it. The longest solo's that I still think are pretty great are 1. Sultans of Swing2. Aqualung3. Crazy Train There are others(solos) that I like but most of them are shorter(less bars) then the aforementioned.When the record company homos cast the "formula" in the 80's that placed the obligitory guitar solo at EXACTLY the 3:10 mark of EVERY track I began to vomit in my mouth. Its like they were actually saying "and dont forget to lean WAAY back pointing your axe to the sky and make sure your hair is cascading down towards the ground when you hit that note". F-ing rediculus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members axuality Posted February 23, 2010 Members Share Posted February 23, 2010 Lead guitar - ok can be great if it benefits the track. Solos - smug and cheesy. I feel kind of the same way about vocal tracks. Lyrics strike me as of little importance to a song. If I haven't already thought of what some guy is saying in his lyrics, maybe I should have stayed in school longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members headstash Posted February 23, 2010 Members Share Posted February 23, 2010 Lead guitar and guitar solos were the reasons I wanted to play guitar in the first place. Rock music was never so boring as it was in the late 90's early 00's when solos were out of fashion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
