61 LIVING COLOUR
"Cult of Personality"
Vivid (1988)
GUITARIST:Vernon Reid
Vernon Reid shows us what it would sound like if you tried to play a solo
with a boat motor.
62 STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN
"Say What!"
Live Alive (1986)
GUITARIST: Stevie Ray Vaughan
This coked-out, drunken mess, recorded when Vaughan was at the bottommost
depths of his addiction problems, kicks off what is woefully the only
official live album by this powerhouse guitarist. Vaughan conceived the
song's title when he imagined how record buyers would react after paying
$19.95 for this disastrous double album.
63 LOVERBOY
"Working for the Weekend"
Get Lucky (1981)
GUITARIST: Paul Dean
Paul Dean's licks gallop and whine like characters in a My Little Pony
cartoon, only Dean sounds twice as prissy and fey. And only a West Hollywood
hairdresser would think skin-tight red leather jeans and a rolled-up bandanna
were cool attire for a man.
64 NEIL YOUNG & CRAZY HORSE
"Rapid Transit"
Re-ac-tor (1981)
GUITARIST: Neil Young
When Neil Young played a onenote solo on "Cinnamon Girl" in 1969, it was
considered clever. But when he tried to cram two one-note solos into this
track 12 years later, his decision was rightfully considered monotonous and
weak. To quote George W. Bush: "Fool me once, shame on…shame on you. Fool me
…you can't get fooled again."
65 SLAYER
"Exile"
God Hates Us All (2001)
GUITARIST: Kerry King
Kerry King approaches this guitar solo like Napoleon Dynamite running a
50-yard dash—he flails wildly and aimlessly at the start, only to end up
hacking and wheezing by the time he reaches the finish line. Dang!
66 BILLY JOEL
"It's Still Rock & Roll to Me"
Glass Houses (1980)
GUITARISTS: Dave Brown, Russell Javor
It wasn't rock and roll to anyone else, though. Released when bands like
Motörhead, the Ramones and AC/DC were in their prime, this song sounded as
dangerous as a death threat from a three-year- old. The soggy slapback echo
guitars and featherweight rhythmic accents make Lawrence Welk sound like the
Dead Kennedys.
67 THE ROLLING STONES
"Sympathy for the Devil"
Four Flicks DVD (2003)
GUITARIST: Keith Richards
Everyone raved about how well Ron Wood was playing on the Stones' most
recent tour, probably because Woody had to work extra hard just to cover for
Keith. During the band's Madison Square Garden show, Keef essays his most
famous solo as if he has no idea what song the rest of the band is playing.
68 TYRANNOSAURUS REX
"Elemental Child"
A Beard of Stars (1970)
GUITARIST: Marc Bolan
On the verge of ditching Tyrannosaurus Rex's flower-power mysticism for
T.Rex's cosmic boogie, Bolan apparently decided to combine the worst aspects
of both on this interminable track. His solo playing is so sloppy, you wonder
if the sleeve of his gypsy caftan had become entangled in the strings. In any
case, it makes George Thorogood sound positively tasty by comparison.
69 RAMONES
"This Ain't Havana"
End of the Century (1980)
GUITARIST: Johnny Ramone (?)
In Lobotomy: Surviving the Ramones, the late Dee Dee Ramone claimed that
Johnny sat out most of the End of the Century sessions in a huff, and
producer Phil Spector brought in session guys to cover his parts. Of course,
Dee Dee was never a reliable source, but the lame, watered-down guitar sounds
on this and several other of the album’s tracks seem to support his
allegation. Johnny could make his Mosrite roar like a tsunami; this stuff is
about as compelling as a leaky faucet.
70 THE KINKS
"Welcome to Sleazytown"
Think Visual (1986)
GUITARISTS: Ray Davies, Dave Davies
A punishingly tedious track from what may be the Kinks' alltime worst album.
Ray Davies steals the main riff from no less a stinker than "Misunderstanding"
by Genesis, thereby underscoring his utter lack of inspiration.
71 SAMMY HAGAR
"Three Lock Box"
Three Lock Box (1982)
Okay, nobody ever confused the Red Rocker with the second coming of Mozart,
but even a punch- and tequiladrunk former boxer should know better than to
wedge a totally awkward, momentum-killing chord progression between the
chorus and solo break of an otherwise decent rocker.
72 BOB DYLAN
"Quinn the Eskimo (The Mighty Quinn)"
Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits, Vol. 2 (1971)
GUITARIST: Robbie Robertson
When Dylan yelped "Uh, guitar now!" on this shambolic performance, he
probably wanted Robertson to serve up something a little more compelling
than a piercing burst of accidental feedback. Then again, given the Mighty
Zim's contrary ways, maybe it was exactly what he was hoping for.
73 DINOSAUR JR.
"Show Me the Way"
You're Living All Over Me (1987)
GUITARIST: J. Mascis
Bringing Frampton to the late-Eighties college-rock crowd was a sobad- it's-
cool move. Too bad J. Mascis was too baked to learn more than half the chords
of the original.
74 GRATEFUL DEAD
"Not Fade Away"
Grateful Dead (1971)
GUITARIST: Jerry Garcia
Jerry's solos always served up more noodles than lunchtime in Chinatown, but
did he have to dump them all over a classic Buddy Holly tune? And there's
that hideous wheedly guitar tone, which practically makes you want to scratch
a chalkboard for relief.
75 JOAN JETT & THE BLACKHEARTS
"I Love Rock N' Roll"
I Love Rock N' Roll (1981)
GUITARIST: Ricky Byrd
Anyone who truly loved rock and roll wouldn't have let this solo fester in
the middle of an otherwise slammin' track.
76 KISS
"Firehouse"
Kiss (1974)
GUITARIST: Ace Frehley
Did somebody leave the gas jets on, or did everyone just accidentally take a
swig from the same flask as Ace? The band plays like it's encased in Jell-O,
and Ace sounds like he's passing out during his solo. Forget the firehouse—
call the paramedics!
77 THE FIRM
"Radioactive"
The Firm (1985)
GUITARIST: Paul Rodgers
In a move perverse enough to horrify even Aleister Crowley, Jimmy Page
decided to let Paul Rodgers play the guitar solo on their new band's debut
single. If you listen closely, you can almost hear Page laughing hysterically
in the background as Rodgers clams up a storm.
78 THE STROKES
"Last Nite"
Is This It (2001)
GUITARIST: Albert Hammond Jr.
Desperately trying to downplay the song's suspicious resemblance to Tom
Petty's "American Girl," Hammond Jr. hacks up a frantic, screechy blues-box
solo that goes absolutely nowhere. If the Heartbreakers' Mike Campbell
couldn't have come up with something better or more original than this, he
probably would have cut his hands off.
79 WHITESNAKE
"Spit It Out"
Slide It In (1984)
GUITARIST: John Sykes
The most underrated of David Coverdale's loin-sweat anthems, this charming
ode to oral sex is put completely over the top by Sykes, who punctuates every
pause with squealing fills that at best sound like bargain-basement Randy
Rhoads. He then serves up an additional layer of cheese with a "sensitive"
chorus-drenched chord passage right before the lead break, which makes
Coverdale's priapic demands sound even sleazier than they already are.
80 THE CURE
"Pictures of You"
Disintegration (1989)
GUITARIST: Robert Smith
Just one of about a hundred leaden, meandering Cure songs that are made even
more annoying by Robert Smith's intentionally out-of-tune 12-string guitar.
Make it stop, Fat Bob! Please, make it stop!
神恨世人，所以Slayer也上榜了。XD
Stevie Ray Vaughan也有。
Neil Young也上榜了。
Bob Dylan也是，不過不是他彈的。:p
打個廣告，Jacob Dylan首張個人專輯已經發行了，台灣是Sony_BMG發行的。
虎父無犬子，雖然The Wallflowers暫時停擺。
既然有David Lee Roth，Sammy Hagar也來插花。
