Mind-Boggling Lead Guitar Breaks?

[KipBrown]

Products Of The Morticians "Soul Clinic"

The Shades Of Darkness "She Ain't Worth All That"

The Local Traffic "Time Gone To Waste"

A tough one. Impossible to give a top 2 or 5 or 10, but I'll post outstanding ones as I come across them. To my ears poignancy has more weight than wildness, otherwise I'd probably still be listening to heavy metal.

Beaubiens - Times Passed
Inferno - The Inferno

M. Said & Les Remaja 'Temasha Ria' 1.05

WOW!

 

[Dave Baldwin]

Thackeray Rock - "Bawling"

Not really much there song-wise, but the 'overdriven-fuzztone-six-string-into-clean-Rickenbacker-12-string break'
is as unique and attention-grabbing as anything The Misunderstood usually came up with:

KEGGS - To find out

The "solo" pretty much overlays the whole song.

 

[Outside_Lookin_in]

Mike, how about starting a thread of songs which are so good that you don't even notice they lack a solo?

EXOTICS - I was alone

Mo-shuns - What can I say

I'd probably give that song 10 stars with almost any solo, but they do match well in this case.

THe Remains took a smoking hot song and set it on fire:

Post your personal favorites.

I'm thinking of a break that elevates a killer tune to an even higher level.
There are many examples of stunning breaks, but I'm talking about other-worldy.

I can't think of any that equal or better these two:

#1 The Cobras "I Wanna Be Your Love" (and the bassline has to be the tuffest ever recorded as well)
#2 The Wig "Crackin' Up"

Not to brag, but G45 Central thought it appropriate to note the lead (performed by Dean Harper) as a "stinging guitar whiplash" on our record "Hey Little Girl". The break included a machine gun fast rate 32nd staccato.

#34 Thunderbirds - Hey Little Girl / These Days Are Gone (Libra 1047) S4/R5/L3 This track is a real mover...with a stinging guitar whiplash. Allegedly three known copies which were hidden for some time, however the whereabouts of two of them are now known. At least one of the copies plays nicely, so will undoubtedly be used to yield a superior vinyl dub in the near future. Last compilation appearance was in atrocious sound on a Moxie Punk Sampler E.P. and a later Quagmire Vol 1 release draws from this same source. The flip is a moody ballad, featuring a piercing organ melody.

A worthy inclusion indeed!
