Everlasting argument between me and the singer in a band thats been on and off for the last three years, so is it Slash infront of the church or Kurt's melody line "solo"?

I do enjoy solos but I think if it goes on more than a 2 minutes we got a problem. There is a point between skill and endless widdly widdly stuff.

Dream Theater take note lol.

The only time I mind long solos is when they go on for upwards of 20 minutes at concerts!  You want to do a little 10 minutes didly, fine, just keep it interesting.  But don't drag it out that long.  As for solos in songs, I'd say 5 minutes is max for me.

dunno I found Brian May's 15 min egofest quite annoying which is a shame since he's usually such a fine guitarist in the songs.

it depends on the setting and the attitude/talent of the guitarist

  Solos can be a very important part of a song if they are structured properly, it takes a very talented guitarist to keep twenty minutes of weedle-doo's and wee-wee's interesting, Frank Zappa was pretty good at this, he could improvise a twenty minute solo and make it sound like a song in itself.

1min max,
otherwise it recks the tune of the song..

IMO, the best songs always have a short solo.. example: Rammstein - Du Riechst So Gut  (imo  Roll Eyes)

i enjoi guitar solos as long as they sound good and the person dosent suck at playing.

Kerry King from Slayer, yeah he F'in sucks, i hate that guy, and i hate slayer. Rain in Blood is the only songs that i somewhat like up until the point where King comes in with his crappy solos, he is a tool bag and if he never makes music again i will be a happy person.

It also depends on how long you've been standing in the pit.  Wink  Saturday night I went to see a Led Zeppelin tribute called Hindenburg.  And I didn't expect four other bands to be playing, let alone for it to last six hours.  Hindenburg was amazing and their guitarist took extended solos off of songs like I've have heard Page did back in the day.  Well, by the time they got up, I was already tired, deaf and sore from standing so long.  So you can do a long solo, just do it early on.  Wink
