Texas King Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Voted Freewill. Where your vote goes? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D9ioyEvdggk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OnxkfLe4G74 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 (edited) Alex is on fire in Freewill .. It may be technically better, but I went with Page and Stairway .. Stairway is a well earned classic, and Page's solo in that is as timeless and legendary as they come Edited March 21, 2018 by Lucas 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyBlaze Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 You've changed your avatar! You're trying to camouflage your threads now! The poll I’m really dying for is Geddy’s one legged hopping across the concert stage vs John Mellancamp’s spastic sliding scoot ‘dancing’ in the “Crumblin’ Down” video 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toymaker Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Nah, Page's solo is all beginners blues licks 101. Alex is a f***ing demon on Freewill. No contest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J2112YYZ Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 It's a good thing the OP put links to the songs. Otherwise I wouldn't have had a clue what he was talking about. Alex and yes being a Rush fanboy is factoring into it. Seeing Alex play that solo a number of times live also helps swing the vote to him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReRushed Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 I don't see the point in comparing solos that both serve their songs perfectly. I do listen to "Freewill" much more often than "Stairway to Heaven", so that's what I will vote for. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both 10/10, but also neither is really my absolute favorite. Pretty even for me really. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
custom55 Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 At first listen, Stairway blew me away. I remember key moments in my music history. :codger: 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 At first listen, Stairway blew me away. I remember key moments in my music history. :codger:It's amazing to me how seamlessly the transition occurs from recorder-accompanied ballad to an iconic hard-rock solo. Stairway is just brilliantly composed. Freewill is probably my favorite RUSH song, btw. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleMoon Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Tough choice but I have to go with Stairway by a hair. It’s just iconic. Though I think Freewill is one of Alex’s best solos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fridge Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Freewill pisses all over Stairway, which to be honest I have always found to be a long, meandering, aimless slice of overratedness... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Entre_Perpetuo Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 I heard Freewill today, and air guitared the solo, and it was fabulous. I'm giving it the nod here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenjaminW Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 (edited) I prefer Stairway from The Song Remains The Same. Does that count? But to be honest, both solos kick ass. Edited March 26, 2018 by BenjaminW 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
