johnnyguitar Posted April 18, 2005 Report Share Posted April 18, 2005 One of the things I love about rock, especially live rock, is the way guitar solos are introduced, usually by the singer, who then has to stand back and not look a pratt whilst the guitarist takes centre stage.....this musical interlude has spawned many memorable intro phrases....such as, guitar!.....take it away Jimmy....lets rock'n'roll....Mr. Jeff Beck ladies and gentlemen...etc. etc. But which is the BEST? My own favourites are ....ZZTop...'let's drive this old Chrysler down Mexico way....Led Zep...'Give it to me'....and a local band....'Give that guitar a bone'.... ....any other good ones?

Harguitay Posted April 18, 2005 Report Share Posted April 18, 2005 Eric Clapton in Atlanta, introducing an anonymous guitar player in the shadows for the first set: "I'd like to introduce my guest for the evening, Mr. George Harrison." What followed was magic.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batman Posted April 18, 2005 Report Share Posted April 18, 2005 On a CD by Ozzy called "Live And Loud", before a long Zakk Wylde guitar solo, Ozzy said "Mr. Zakk Wylde on guitar ladies and gentlemen!" The Darkness - I believe in a thing called love. Before the 2nd guitar solo, the singer shouts "Guitar!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_jr_ Posted April 19, 2005 Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 You want to hear some great intros, get yourself a copy of Ted Nugent's Double Live Gonzo. A master of motormouth mayhem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
