Round 4: Vote for your favorite Green Day guitar solo, 16 remain

The American idiot solo isn't bad but Jesus of Suburbia and letterbomb don't deserve to have gotten this far. They are great songs but not really known for the solos.

I hope Hitchin a Ride or Dry Ice wins but Oh Love or DRB would be acceptable too :)

Out of all the songs there I can honestly say Hitchin A Ride is the only one where every time I listen to that song its the solo that I most look forward too. It is the climax of that song and its fucking good :eyebrows:

DRB vs GMN...I think it's obvious Dirty Rotten is gonna win, even though, now that I listen to it in detail, Novacaine has one of the classiest and best solos Billie has ever written.

I know! I had to vote for DRB but I was struck by how beautiful the Novocaine one was!

I don't understand how half of the songs could make it this far. I mean... American Idiot, 21 Guns, Holiday... Seriously?

Well anyway, the voting wasn't that hard this time fortunately :)

I've voted for all these hits. There's a reason these are hits. Yeah, maybe technically not the most impressive "solos" or whatever but I think Holiday is one of the best things ever written and it's catchy as fuck and sounds like porn in my ears.

Anyway, hope Only of You beats JoS.

yup, great song as a whole. probably in the top ten best written green day songs. but not the best solo.

If bloody JOS wins I'll be annoyed, clearly only there due to people voting for the song as a whole instead of just the solo.

Anyway the last round was a nightmare :lol:. Glad both the song I voted for and the one I almost voted for are still here...I fear they're going to be defeated by American Idiot songs that are only here because they're on that album though :P

How did Jesus of Suburbia and American Idiot make it this far? :lol:

Probably being voted on the entire song not just the solo. Some people just don't do things correctly...

I'll always go with Hitchin' A Ride. It's simple and badass, what do you want more?

To be honest, Dos could have just been Fuck Time's solo over and over again and I would still pick it as my favourite trilogy album.

Hitchin' a Ride was easy, it's so intense, and the build-up makes it even better

One For the Razorbacks was also an easy choice

Fuck Time, although Letterbomb is still pretty good, but technically not as impressive

Judge's Daughter, far and away the best Green Day solo

Makeout Party, the energy in this track is amazing, and it kind of climaxes with Billie's epic scream in the middle of the solo

Only of You, this was easy, JoS's solo is too short

Dirty Rotten Bastards, no competition, this is their most technically impressive solo

Dry Ice, of course, although American Idiot, while easy, is very well-constructed and fun to play

Just mah 2 cents :P also I hope Judge's Daughter (or if not, DRB) wins

I listened to both solos and I found the JOS one more compelling and moving. I've always loved that. I know it's not technically as "interesting" or perhaps "impressive" as its competitor but it made my ears happier and that's how I'm basing my decisions.

Well that's a good reason to vote for it. But if anyone's just automatically going "JOS is the best Green Day song" and clicking it then that's unacceptable :P

Letterbomb vs Fuck Time. That's a hard one!

The Fuck Time solo is obviously more complex and cool sounding, but I always thought the Letterbomb solo was really moving.

21 Guns Cause it's more emotionally satisfying, not always about how good you can shred!
One For The Razorbacks: One of my favourite Green Day solo's, I love just jamming on guitar to that tune!
Letterbomb: Cause it's way too underrated and Fuck Time is meh.
Judge's Daughter: Oh Love is too mainstream and unsatisfying to me.
Let Yourself Go: It and Makeout Party are basically the same solo so what's the difference?
Jesus Of Suburbia: Again, much more emotionally satisfying.
Give Me Novacaine: Refer to 21 Guns and JOS
Dry Ice: My favourite Green Day solo, almost anthemic really.

Isn't the Letterbomb solo like 2 seconds long? Is it even considered a solo?

...Maybe I'm thinking of the wrong part.

Dirty Rotten Bastards vs Give me Novacaine was the hardest one, but I went with DRB. I didn't know what to vote in Only of you vs. JOS because I'm not really a fan of neither :lol: And the rest was easy for me :)

Letterbomb vs Fuck Time?

That's not fair! I love both!

but I think the solo of Fuck Time is more... interesting to listen to ;)

but it's really hard to choose!

This tournament made me realize that I LOVE the One for the Razorbacks solo. Before, I didn't pay uch attention to it.
