The Duellists: Who actually won the "duel" in the song, regarding solos?

[Misirlou]

For reference, apart from all their harmonies on the song, these are their solos:

Solo 1 (2:52 - 3:16): DAVE
Solo 2 (3:40 - 4:16): ADRIAN

 

[MindRuler]

That juicy riff starting at 4:16 is my favourite part of the song by the way.

 

[Azas]

I'll go with Adrian's solo, because it serves as the perfect gateway to that glorious harmony section.

 

[dickinson1978]

Dave solo is very good here

 

[Kalata]

Both are really good solos, but Adrian's one is kind of unique with one interesting and fun lick.

 

[Vaenyr]

Adrian, but I generally prefer his soloing style to Dave's anyway.

 

[Black Bart]

Dave's solo is better (Adrian's is less inspired than usual - as if he were parodying Ritchie Blackmore at some point), in my opinion.

 

[PhantomOfTheOpera]

Both really good solos, but I think Adrian got a bit better. The part after H's solo, the harmony is great. The break aswell onwards.
