Yikes!!!! Hallowed Be Thy Name's solo isn't even on the list. Wow.

There are much more deserving Maiden solos, most notably Prodigal Son.
But also, Phantom Of The Opera and Revelations.

The build up to the Hallowed Be Thy Name solo just makes it even more epic. It should be on the list.

Nah....

Well for me the song the solo is in makes a difference if there's a cool build up to the solo and if the solo fits really well with what the song is about. The solo doesn't have to be really complex or whatever.

I know it doesnt have to be complex, but I dont think the build-up should affect the quality of a solo...

Also, The Fugitive is another killer from Maiden...

What about this solo?....

Personally I thought that was awesome...

I dunno, what about the almost never-ending suspense before the solo in Whole Lotta Love? That definitely adds to the solo.

The solo in Forsaken by Dream Theater owns me. One of my favourites by Petrucci.
