Long Distance. It actually allows me to feel as if I've witnessed the 80's in person.

It wasn't that good.

 

[MrKnickerbocker]

Fear! It's so manic and smooth.

Fear of the Dark

 

[mckindog]

I went Fear, but it's closer than the score indicates.
Last round, 2 minutes is actually quite memorable, but it didn't have a chance.
As good as Stranger is, it is boosted even more by Steve's awesome bass line.

 

[Dr. Eddies Wingman]

Love'm both. FOTD gets my vote today.

 

[Deus_Adrian]

I was the only one who voted for TMTM??

 

[Deus_Adrian]

It wasn't that good.

It was the best of times. It was the worst of times...it was the mullet times.

 

[Srogyy]

TLotLDR for me.

I was the only one who voted for TMTM??

and your name is Adrian

 

[Lampwick 43]

I don't find either solo to be particularly outstanding, but I'll give it to Fear here.

 

[Deus_Adrian]

and your name is Adrian

Thats not my name. It spelled Adrian but its pronounced Throat Wobbler-Mangrove.

 

[frus]

Result of round 1, 11th battle: Adrian Smith's The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner solo (042) is eliminated. 066 advances to the 3rd round.

Round 2: 12th battle:

 

[MrKnickerbocker]

Judas because it captures the energy of the song in such a short burst.

Phantom has that great repetitious lick at the end of each run but everything in between feels a little too loose and half-cocked, especially those bends in the second phrase.

 

[Brigantium]

Going to have to think this one over. I love Judas, but Phantom has really stood the test of time.

 

[Forostar]

Judas Be My Guide. It's short, but so is Dave's solo in Fear of the Dark, which is only one second longer! Such a captivating part!

 

[CriedWhenBrucieLeft]

Aye, 'tis that.

 

[Edu_Smith]

Dave Judas

 

[Dr. Eddies Wingman]

Two awesome Davey solos. I'll go with Judas here. Both solos in that song are absolute killer - so full of energy. The POTO solo is sweet, but Dave has other slow solos that are even better.
