I can't ged over the solo in big money no matter how many times I listen to it...when I listen to it it places me into a different realm...I dunno how he did it but its amazing the way he conveys the most awesome design all wrapped up in a euphoric souring melody that is like an acid peak in itself...that's how much I love that damn solo that I just so very much understated

What is your fav Alex solo or part and why?

Bravado's Riff...one of my favs

Closer To The Heart, the guitar in the beginning.

Cold Fire - The cool sounding part right at the beginning

Freewill's solo

The acoustic guitar at the beginning of In The End

The beginning part of Kid Gloves

Lock And Key's guitar solo, another of my favs.

Nobody's Hero's riff...another of my favs

Roll The Bones' solo

The Spirit Of Radio...classic riff.

The Trees, acoustic at the beginning.

Tom Sawyer's solo

The beginning of the solo in Cygnus X-1 6:39 into the song. The whole solo actually

But that first part and the interlude after it, ooo!

La Villa and Big Money. Alex looks awesome in the Big Money video doing that solo in his Miami Vice getup. So '80s!

2 words: An-them.

Anthem rocks my world. Alex's most ferocious solo, IMHO.

The entirety of "La Villa Strangiato" from Exit...Stage Left

The verse melody and solo of "Cut to the Chase"

Anything in "Ghost Rider"

The harmonic section of "Virtuality"

The entire beginning section of "The Necromancer"

The intro riff to "Finding My Way"

Hey how about the Analogue Kid solo, great 80's style "lightning fingers" solo.

Posted: **Tue Jun 21, 2005 12:03 pm**

I'd have to go with LaVilla Strangiato. Did anybody see the live video that was recorded in like 1979? Its Alex doing that solo.....My jaw dropped when I saw it. Can't see his hands move.

the mid-song solo of Necromancer, when he hits the stereo chorus effect mid-riff and it fills the room with sound for the rest of the solo....AWESOME

Xanadu's got some fast, sweet runs in it too...

2112-the intro and the solo at around 13 minutes kick ass!

Posted: **Fri Jun 23, 2006 10:20 am**

Good choice Lam...I like the solo-ending to "I think I'm going Bald" too...righteous

here's a nugget:

the low-volume solo during the "rap" on RIR's Roll the Bones...
If you can keep up with it, it's really tasty as hell....
