![]() ![]() Stone Temple Pilots may have been a bit late to the whole Grunge explosion but one thing is for sure these guys know how to rock. Seriously, they were sixteen! Not a bad solo for a kid barely old enough to drive! ![]() Sure their sound on Frogstomp was a little derivative of some of Grunge’s forefathers, but the three members of Silverchair were sixteen years old when the album came out. ![]() Silverchair’s “Tomorrow” is one of the best songs of the Grunge era. Here is Alternative Nation’s Top Ten Iconic Guitar Solos of the 90’s! But regardless, the decade had a ton of great guitar solos- and great guitarists may I add. During the 90’s, rock, alternative and metal saw guitar solos fade along with the rise of Nu-Metal. With that said though, there are a hell of a lot of great ones. Take your pick but regardless of your definitive taste, we can all agree that like pizza, there’s no such thing as a bad guitar solo. Others are straight up, note for note vocal melody lines played on the guitar. Others come off like a rollercoaster, full of hills and valleys and accentuated by feel. Some guitar solos are in your face, immediate, straight for the throat gems. Guitar solos can be as varied and wild as the guys who perform them. Trick Question! You can’t do it because it is a fact of music and a fact of life that a face-melting burner of a guitar solo can elevate any song from great to iconic. Guitar solos kick ass! Name me a great song that wasn’t made better by a fantastic guitar solo.
