A favourite guitar solo
This is partly for Anosognosia's insomnia, who wants guitar solos. But also partly because I'm curious about all yer opinions about this track - which is basically one big guitar solo.
My opinion is that calling it a guitar solo is missing the point. To me, it's more of an emotional outpouring, which happens to involve very fast guitar playing. I would compare it to the finale of Beethoven's Fifth sooner than to Metallica's Fade To Black's solo. I would probably compare it to Mahler if I knew any Mahler.
