Best guitar solo?

Yep, time for another "best ..." list:

My vote for best guitar solo is "Comfortably Numb" on CD2 of Pink Floyd`s "Pulse" which is simply awesome. And to make matters worse, my m8 was there to hear it live, the git!

Big Sick Ugly Jim Martin - Faith No More, The Cowboy Song. For once a guitar solo that compliments a song instead of the obigatory post extended chorus axe w***ing that we hear from the `greats`

In my opinion, has to be Kirk Hammet`s solo in Metallica`s One.
Or for sheer fingers melting on the fretboard, has to be the final solo in Slayer`s Angel of Death, that or any of the other solos on Reign in Blood. ...ahhh `80`s metal... i have some old CD`s to listen to.

Definitely Kirk Hammet, but different song - Unforgiven, from the `black` album. Difficult to imagine the song without that defining solo. Top s***!

For me it has to be Devin Townsend on his song `Deep Peace` from the Terria record, after the breakdown towards the end.....the following solo is, for want of a better word, sexual. Gets me every time.

Sorry but the Lynyrd Skynyrd "Freebird" solo is, bar none, the best guitar solo of all time... closely followed by the Gazza finger-melt on "Fog on the Tyne".
