Public Enema #1

Public Enema, no contest.

 

[Deus_Adrian]

Paschendalr. And I love PE#1. Like most great H solos he tells a story within the story. Brilliant.

 

[Forostar]

Public Enema. I can understand that people prefer its opponent but I have no idea why people say it is miles (or kilometers) better. Absolutely no way.

 

[rgba]

Paschendale, but Public Enema is great too.

 

[frus]

Public Enema

Paschendale is just scales and noodling. There is one interesting note in the middle though.
PE is poetry

 

[cynick]

PE solo sounds a little bit too close to Holy Smoke DM's solo...

 

[cynick]

I'm not sure how this works as I just discovered the thread, but I couldn't find Adrian's Prodigal Son solo in the OP, which is the best IM solo ever... so this thread should be disqualified from my pov.

also not enough pre-1990 solos and too many post 1990 solos. essentially the solos on SiT and the ones on SSoaSS pretty much kill everything they did afterwards...

 

[Brigantium]

A lot of solos have already been eliminated, this thread is Round 2.

A lot of solos have already been eliminated, this thread is Round 2.

ok, still wrong if a bunch of FotD, NPftD, etc solos eliminated solos off those albums. of course, this is all my opinion...

 

[The Flash]

Adrian's solo on Paschendale is one of my favorite Maiden moments ever.

 

[Deleted member 7164]

Paschendale is overrated.
Adrian's solo in Paschendale is good but it's pretty average for him.

Paschen-fuckin-Chip-and-Dale vol. 2

@cynick

I'm not sure how this works.

Result of round 1, 13th battle: Dave Murray's Public Enema Number One (054) is eliminated. 100 advances to the 3rd round.

Round 2: 14th battle:

 

[MrKnickerbocker]

I actually quite like that Boots solo, but goddamn Wasted Years is just too good.

 

[Edu_Smith]

Adrian Boots on...but will lose

 

[Brigantium]

I actually quite like that Boots solo, but goddamn Wasted Years is just too good.

+1

Boots would win in the average round, but Wasted Years is a bit too special.

 

[franksamuel0209]

Don't spend your time searching for those Wasted boots...

Wasted Years is my pick

 

[Srogyy]

Wasted Years. What can I say... It's one of the best solos ever recorded.
