"A ghoul I shall forever be But I must sleep before the dawn And then my work will carry on Once you've come to grips with me" "The Ghoul" - Pentagram Word Up: zombie

This reminds me of a quote by James Anthony Froude: "Wild animals never kill for sport. Man is the only one to whom the torture and death of his fellow-creatures is amusing in itself." Unless it is for legitimate reasons such as for food or other necessary resources, I just don't see the point of hunting (or fishing for that matter). You can experience and enjoy nature without putting a bullet or arrow through a part of it. I understand people might find the hunt exciting and challenging, but is the kill really justified and necessary? Perhaps the reasons are rooted in tradition or culture or its just another way people attempt to dominate and control something.

^I admit I'm looking forward to seeing it, if only just for Ewan McGregor.

Nope, but he is a notable figure of the alternative metal scene of the 90's and 2000's.

"Worst Thing Ever You Could Do" - P:ano

Wayne Coyne of The Flaming Lips?

A little late but Happy Birthday!

^^Bah, why such hate? Does anyone really want to see Chelsea at the top? On the other hand 2:2 for Arsenal and West Ham, nice comeback for West Ham... a small consolation.

Everton got quite a beating from SL Benfica: 5-0 with three goals in six minutes, ouch.

Perhaps it would have been better to provide a little more criteria as to what a bad solo is exactly. Besides obviously bad playing it seems to be about as subjective as most other aspects of music varying with one's taste. You could argue many throwaway/filler/novelty songs from most guitar bands have sub-par solos though I'm not sure exactly how you would rank them. Live takes probably shouldn't count and as for the technical mistakes only obvious to a few, a solo is what it is, it can still sound alright despite these errors. I'm not the biggest fan of guitar solos in the first place especially not long or overwrought ones (though there are exceptions). There are a quite few I really like but I can take or leave most of them. 5. "All You Need Is Love" – The Beatles: I don’t know about the technical problems but I kind of like the way the guitar fades into the orchestration, the parts of which (horns, strings etc.) are much bigger components of the song than the guitar anyway. 21. "Noise Annoys" – Buzzcocks: I will argue this song was meant as sort of a joke. And although it may be one of their lesser songs, I don't find anything wrong with it or the solo; it is what I would expect in a song from a genre that tends toward a more raw, forceful , irreverent (and sometimes more dissonant) sound. 22. "No Rain" – Blind Melon: Dry and insufferable, really? I think it’s a nice little solo for a nice little song. 23. "Zero" – The Smashing Pumpkins: Not exactly a favourite of mine but are these writers not familiar with context? Were they expecting an uplifting, melodic, straightforward solo in a somewhat grating, vicious song about feeling like your nothing? 28. "Brain Stew" – Green Day: Actually one of the few Green Day songs I like. I guess the "solo" they’re referring to is the fade out? Their main objection seems to be that they borrowed the riff from Chicago and maybe they have a point since NO other band has EVER made use of a piece of another band’s song and clearly Armstrong is to blame for this whole sampling debacle that has produced nothing of value /sarcasm. In my opinion they make better use of it anyway so who cares? 35. "Know Your Enemy" – Rage Against the Machine: Okay they’re admitting it’s a great solo so logically they decide to put it pretty high on a worst solo list. They try to explain away the incongruity by saying it has nothing to do with what's going on in the song. What kind of solo would have to do with what's going on? Heaven forbid Morello should try something a little different in the solo. (He is one of the few guitarists whose work and style I actually find interesting just on its own.) 80. "Pictures of You" – The Cure: This is one of the best, most definitive Cure songs, so obviously these people simply don’t like the Cure and their particular sound. Still, it shouldn't be on this list. On the other hand, I’m pleasantly surprised Oasis didn’t make the list considering how much people especially *cough* professionals like to disparage them, particularly Noel as a guitarist (most of the time probably with good cause but y'know we all have our favourites despite sound criticism ).
