Underrated Guitar Solos
Discussion
Mrs O, earlier, wanted to watch a documentary on Motown which is fair enough; she loves the genre.
There was another programme that, as she switched channels, was playing Celine Dion's version of The Power Of Love and she suggested that the version by Jennifer Rush was much better. I suggested that - as she would have been stationed overseas with the RAF at the time - you could not get away from that fvcking tune in this country at the time. It was hateful and everywhere.
Anyway.
I followed on by mentioning "Everything I Do" by Bryan Adams, and said that despite its relentless banality and sixteen fvcking weeks at #1 I could forgive it for having a well crafted guitar solo
Seriously, it's not fast, is well measured, with slides and bends in just the right places.
Example
IMVHO, ^ that is an underrated guitar solo.
Any more for any more?

Brian Robertson in this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XsGl-0pzEEc
Short and sweet, starts like a lot of hard rock numbers with nice but standard licks but then the second half goes WTF in a wonderful way.

Lizzy are underrated full stop IMO.Short and sweet, starts like a lot of hard rock numbers with nice but standard licks but then the second half goes WTF in a wonderful way.
Go to 3:10 in this to hear John Sykes' finest live solo; spine tingling:-

That's surely Gary Moore's solo, which Brian Robertson refused to change (he recorded the pretty definitive Live and Dangerous version, IIRC), and that Sykes solo is just a mildly tweaked version, played with far less emotion. IMHO. YMMV!
Anyhoo, another contender from Mr West (defintely underrated):

They're not underrated though.
They are by many 'guitarists' who have no idea what's really going on. To be fair most of Lizzy's stuff is acknowledged already. Under the radar perhaps the solo on the end of I'll Be Alright Without You by Journey.from the album Raised On Radio.
