Sepultura guitarist Andreas Kisser has been in the metal scene for well over 30 years at this point. So it's safe to say the dude knows a thing or two about guitar solos. Kisser recently posted his playlist of his favorite guitar solos on Metal Hammer, though he adds they're in no way ranked.
The solos come from bands like Metallica, Anthrax, Sacred Reich, Megadeth, and way more.
"Here’s my list, the theme is my favourite guitar solos in metal," he said. "They're not in a specific order. I feel these guitar players were my teachers, they showed me the way with their amazing leads and riffs. I spent hours rewinding my cassette tapes to learn their solos – it was a great school to me. Today I still love to play them, they still inspire me.
"I think what makes a great guitar solo, is the honest feeling of the player, regardless of their techniques and abilities with the instrument. It has to have soul, passion and a message. A solo needs to “talk” with the listener, in my opinion, it's stronger than any word."
