Also. Steve Vai's solo on Dave Lee Roth's Big Trouble. It's like running into a wall of pure unhinged technique.
It's almost hilariously technical. Particularly the last half.
I love that album.

I've not had time to check through all 1500 odd comments (1500? Good work people). Has anyone mentioned Gorham & Robertson from Thin Lizzy? Their playing on Live & Dangerous is phenomenal. The solo on Dancin in the Moonlight being a particular favourite of mine.

Shit! That's weird.
Or is it?
Yes. Yes it is.

Someone (Eno, i think?) described him as "10% guitarist, 90% technician". That is in no way an insult.
I wouldn't play guitar if it wasn't for The Edge. He gets a lifetime pass from me for that alone.

Another one. The brief solo at the end of Harder Now That It's Over by Ryan Adams. Economical to be sure, but really beautiful. Great bends. I don't know if Adams played this, or one of his band. It sounds like it could be him. He's a great player. Loves a Fender amp, so good on him.

Two choices if i may.
Slash's first solo on Sweet Child O'Mine, the one that i think was left off the version released as a single. Not blazingly fast, but that is a guy playing from the heart right there. He had a way of playing off the beat that made everything stand out all the more. Beautiful stuff.
Pretty much the…

Seasons is the best thing Zeppelin never recorded.
No one else could have sung Hands All Over better than he did. No one. Just listen to it.
What a talent. Very sad.
I am gonna rock the f**k out today.
When Soundgarden went large in the early 90's, one of my friends was a dead ringer for Cornell. He did very well for…

American Psycho. The book that is. I actually thought the film was pretty great. That book is a deeply nauseous piece of work though. I get that's the point, but yeesh.

His version of Like Spinning Plates is absolutely beautiful.

Unfortunately he very much is.

New Lanegan? That'll do for me.

One of my school friends was the big Prince fan of our group. I liked the singles but wasn't a huge fan. We all went to see him around 1990 (I think), and he was mind bendingly brilliant. It's noticeable throughout these comments how many different favourite tracks people have. I think that says it all really.

On second viewing, season two was actually a lot better than I remember.
I think involving David Milch with anything immediately makes it a more interesting prospect. Assuming it gets off the ground of course.

You know that feeling you get when you suddenly remember something bad you did years ago? A rising wave of panic and horror that threatens to eat you alive? I've started getting that feeling whenever I see a picture of this guy.
Seriously America, how did this happen?

Someone please make White Jazz. That's my favourite Ellroy book.

Good point. However, David Niven had his wits about him that time the guy streaked past him.

Hands down my favourite cuisine. Here in the UK Indian food is pretty much ubiquitous, and this damp, dark country is all the better for it. Dhansak is a personal favourite. Fairly spicy, bright red, slightly sweet, with lentils, and meat or veg of choice. If you dont have an Indian restaurant within a few miles of…

Not to contradict The Hollywood Reporter, but didnt Netflix cancel Bloodline after two seasons a couple of months back?

God's own condiment. And the anchovy in it removes the need for extra salt. So it's a money saving tip as well.

"Sorry, Michael Chabon. You may have won a Pulitzer, but it sure as fuck wasn't for scrambled eggs."
Favourite quote of the week.
Three eggs minimum (room temperature). Season with pepper and Worcestershire sauce. Don't over whisk the mix as you don't want to emulsify it (matter of taste though). Cook over a very low…
