Led Zep - Heartbreaker.
That abomination of a guitar solo kills the entire song. ETA Studio version Such a great groove throughout the rest of the song, then Jimmeh Page fucks it up |

Eddie VH on "Beat it".
 Putting a guitar god's solo on your wimpy pop song does not make it a rock song.

Skip to 3:21 so you don't have to listen to Journey's worst song, and just listen to Journey's worst guitar solo.

And he did it in one day, from his house. In less than an hour. They came over, played him the demo, he laid down a thirty second track, they made a few adjustments, he did another 30-second take, and that was it. Here's several million dollars. 
You WISH you had a job like that. |

Quoted: Lets start out by me saying that I'm in no way a professional guitar player or music critic. I'm just interested to hear what bothers other people and see if I hear it as well. For me it's Eight Miles High by The Byrds. The solo makes me want to freak out. I like the rest of the song though. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J74ttSR8lEg After listening to all of the clips I'm going to agree with the OP. That sound, that awful sound gives me thoughts of people tearing their eyes out and chewing up their own tongue. |

If we're discussing studio recordings - Neil Young's "Rockin in the Free World" is glaringly, jarringly awful. As in so bad - Gibson should have PAID him to quit using their product. So bad that Les Paul should've bitch slapped him using his good arm.
As for stuff I've witnessed live - CC Deville of Poison was about the laziest, most boring guitarist I've ever seen in a rock act. |

http://youtu.be/rj__jhmPMgIIt might not be the best solo ever, it's not. It might be the worst of Journey's solos, not sure about that. It's definitely not a bad solo on the scale of bad solos. It's definitely has a very hackneyed and formulaic sound to it, but so did most ballad solos from that era. Looking for a great solo in a ballad is like looking for the best shotgun for HD, it's a retarded undertaking. |

Saw them with Warrant in '89 - his big solo was pretty much exactly that - for like FIVE FUCKING MINUTES. It was like one lick, played on a loop, while he swaggered around thinking he was Kieth Richards cool.  He bookended it with some scale runs, IIRC. The drummer, OTOT put on an entertaining solo.
