Hot On Your Heels - from the one and only Steeler album. Apparently recorded in one take.<br /><br />Still love the mad start to Never Die from Seventh Sign. Title track kicks butt too.<br /><br />Final Curtain from Fire and Ice. Title track too.<br /><br />I could go on and on! Other suggestions:<br /><br />End Of The World - Gary Moore (Corridors of Power).<br /><br />White Knuckles - goes staight into Rockin' Every Night on Gary's G-Force album.<br /><br />Without Warning - George Lynch's stunning 1'38 solo that leads straight into Tooth &amp; Nail on Dokken's album of the same name.<br /><br />Dying For Love - Black Sabbath from Cross Purposes. Played this the other day and was reminded how great a song this was from the criminally underrated Tony Martin era. Begins with a lovely bluesy piece.<br /><br />The Inner Road - Adagio from Sanctus Ignis. Absolutely mad sweep arpeggios. I think. Bloody fast anyhow!<br /><br />This Planet's On Fire - Sammy Hagar. Dunno if that intro counts as a solo but sounds really cool anyhow!<br /><br />So many choices :)]]></description>

The guitar solo intro is amazing. I first heard that well over 20 years ago when my alarm clock went off at about 5:30am. I'm not one to wake up fast...especially back then as a kid but my radio alarm went off right at the beginning of that solo and I immediately became extremely alert. I'm not one to call radio stations to ask &quot;hey, who was that you just played?&quot; but I called Z-Rock that morning and found out it was Giant and bought their CD later that day.Kilelr guitar solo intro, killer song, killer CD, killer guitarist/vocalist, killer band.<br /><br />Paul]]></description>
