GUP1771 Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 That's a bit tough. There are so many great solos. The Analog Kid, Between the Wheels, Emotion Detector, Marathon, The Big Money, etc. People thinks that Alex took a back seat during the Synth Era, but his solos are beyond amazing. I'm really crazy about The Big Money right now, so I'll go with that one. I'm including the build up to the solo with that, though. That build up gives me chills and makes me feel good at the same time. That's powerful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pratt53 Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Interesting that you mention Emotion Detector and Open Secrets. Two fantastic solos that were imo the best one of each of their respective albums. Both were part of trend at the time where the best solo on a given album was not played live. Also include Chain Lightening and Cut to the Chase. For your question, I'd go with Emotion Detector, then Between The Wheels and Open Secrets.

Nate1647 Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Red Sector A is one of my top 3 alex solos EVER, I think its criminally underrated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trenken Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Cant even wrap my head around this. Too hard for me to choose. Alex isnt the best guitar player in the world, but he's so good at writing what fits the songs. Id have to go back and listen to them all again. Havent listened to much synth era stuff in a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perchance to Dream Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Synth era, I'd go with Mission. So much emotion spilling out of those notes that it borders on ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy Sawyer Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Between the Wheels is awesome, as well as Kid Gloves and Red Sector A. I love the guitar on Time Stand Still, too. Oh, and how could we forget Marathon?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
