RetroShout Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 There may not be the greatest choice of guitar solo's in the Muse catalogue, but I'm sure everyone has a favourite. And I'm not talking about riffs. If this thread gets enough interest I'll add a poll Explain why and feel free to argu- *cough* debate My favourite is the Thoughts of a Dying Atheist solo. It's really the only solo that stands out for me and compared to this solo, all the others seem boring (as solo's, not as whole songs). I can't really see anyone hearing the Guiding Light solo and thinking "Wow! That's amazing! I'm gonna take up guitar just to learn that!". And besides that, this is the only solo I can think of that doesn't resemble what Matt sings (e.g. Invincible, Guiding Light), and basically just sounds brilliant. THERE IS NO SOLO IN KNIGHTS OF CYDONIA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hat Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 The Citizen Erased one. Indeed. CE, Showbiz or Darkshines(live). Emotional and very intense, at least the first two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluefish Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Yes, Dark Shines' live one is amazing! It's too bad they played it so little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grabacr 31770 Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Definately ToaDA. And CE. Two faves by far. Both even more epic live. Initially, I never really got into ToaDA but I now love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bliss :) Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 For me it has to be Hysteria. It sends shivers up my spine. Though I love CE and Invincible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matty987 Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 For me, the best solo was KoC live around the 2007 BH&R period, i was so sad when i heard that matt had changed it for The Resistance tour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plug In Guy Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 for me it´s the one from hysteria and live it´s the uprising solo even if it´s simple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
