This is probably the best solo I've ever heard. This isn't the album version, but damn is it epic.
4 minutes 55 seconds in.

I wholeheartedly agree with comfortably numb solo #2. In fact, that's what I'm listening to now. It was even better live :) But for a pretty sweet solo,
Skip to 3:39

Probably something from Rhapsody of Fire or Luca Turilli, I love their solos! Both done by Luca, here's a vid.

I used to think guitar solos were cheesy ever since I sat in chapel as an awkward six year old watching the other kids play air guitar to some kind of children's Christian rock song. I was thinking it was really lame and said to my friend that "we're supposed to think it's cool just because it's got electric guitars in it".

The first heart-meltingly amazing solo I listened to was Hysteria by Muse, sitting on my bed pressing my earphones into my skull. The chorus and lyrics were intensified by the solo rather than it being a kind of break from it, if that makes sense.

I still thought most guitar solos (particularly metal ones) were lame because of the tacky trite macho rebel image I associated them with, but then I started listening to In Flames. I think I could say Jesper Strömblad (in his early In Flames days) is my favourite guitarist.

STAND.. ABLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAZE (2:49) the guitar is amazing all the way through, though.

Even if it's not your cup of tea (which I can totally imagine and respect), just skip to 3:00 minutes. The solo is worth it.
Yes, I could not agree more. I haven't ever been a Necrophagist fan, but that's just too good to pass up.

My current favorite solo would have to be a tie between Helloween's Halloween, and the one in Iced Earth's Travel in Stygian, which also has my favorite outro of any song.
