ThatLightInYourEyes Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 La Villa Strangiato, 2112 Overture, and everything on the first album. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
presto123 Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 No doubt about it that Between The Wheels is my favorite solo. Always has been and I doubt that will ever change. Goosebumps every time I hear it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grand Designs is pretty cool as well:) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KennyLee Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 La Villa Strangiato is my favorite guitar solo of all time... from ANYONE! Big fan of the Kid Gloves solo as well. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RushBoingo Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 I would say his Piano Solo on the Garden, and for guitar, probably a tie between Kid Gloves and his improvised solos for Force Ten. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laughedatbytime Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 The Analog Kid, Freewill, and a lot of the other ones already mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tombstone Mountain Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 It's certainly not the one from Force Ten on CA Live. He was going for it, but IMO it kinda killed the vibe...anybody else smell what I'm steppin' in? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleMoon Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 My first choice would have to be La Villa. There are so many good ones it's just hard to pick beyond that. I have to give honorable mention to the fight scene in By-Tor from ATWAS though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexLifesonFan Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Tough to decide between La Villa and Working Man for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rushpepe Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 La Villa is #1. For some reason the quick solo in Cut to the Chase does it for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony R Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 The great strength of Lifeson's soloing is that he doesn't sound forced or scripted. He's not looking to make an Alex Lifeson The Guitarist statement, he's making an emotional statement that suits and serves the song. LVSKid GlovesRed BarchettaXanadu He's way less technically gifted than the likes of Petrucci, Satriani et al but I rarely hear a solo from those guys that drips with emotion or serves the song - it's more "here it comes, look at my chops" with them. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is an excellent summation of what makes Alex great, and why he's one of my all-time favourites. To me, past a certain level of skill, emotion beats chops every time.
