Best guitar explosion of all time

My vote is for Jimi's Voodoo Chile - a Slight Return! No one has come close to his majic on that recording. I am a big Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton fan and everything they have done falls short. Not for emotional involvement, or technical virtuousity, but for the finality of the perfect guitar moment. Jimi hit it on the mark - and then some!

"Btstrg" and "Satch" - Another great choice and Eddie is another of my huge favorites! "Pje" is getting way too serious about this! It's supposed to be fun. We are not analyzing the notes, but how you were just blown away by a certain guitar solo. It's all a matter of personal fav's and nobody is wrong. I just like to have others help me explore music I haven't experienced and the electric guitar solos are the most emotionally exciting for me.

Speaking from a rock guitarist's point of view these are are not the most technical lead breaks, but they are (in my opinion) brilliant and 2 that everyone born after 1960 and before 1980 can say "hey, I know that from somewhere":

1) Eruption - Van Halen
2) We Will Rock You - Queen

I'll agree with VanHalen's "Eruption". Crank this up and it doesn't get much better for sheer metal.
