11 minute solo by some dude in a daft hat

Stumbled across this after watching the rig rundown on premier guitar:

I got bored after 4 minutes. 

Can anyone beat that?

Back in the day, melody maker printed a picture of the gentleman mid solo. The caption read:

”Screee! Diddly diddly twang”

Perfect

Well, I skipped through the solo trying to find an interesting bit, and then the godawful singing started.

I watched all of it... wtf is up with axel’s voice?...

Also, is it me or do they all seem bored to be there?... I know they’re all knocking on a bit now but a little bit of stage presence would have been welcome!...

I thought Slash sounded better than he has for a long time - OK, it went on a bit and I did fast forward quite a few bits (and stopped before SCOM) but the bits I did listen to I thought he sounded good.

EDIT - just listened to SCOM - ffs, go home Axl

Must have been a mass rush back from the toilets and bar when he went into Sweet Child.

I thought Axl looks and sounds as if his brain is disconnected.

Slash, while looking bored, sounded quite good though.

It'll probably Slash guitar sales.

His voice sounds shit compared to the record, but actually a lot better than some of the bootlegs I've got from the late 80's/early 90's. Completely forgotten what shows I had, but the vocals on SCOM in particular were bizarre to say the least.

Axl sounds a bit Wolfmother on that one.  I like Wolfmother, though.  Can't say the same for Axl.

I love slash, love guns n roses, and love guitars but I hate extended guitar solos and find them incredibly boring, a solo in a song is fine, a solo spot that's playing a tune is fine, but not just that playing for the sake of it isn't for me.

Is it me or did he completely fluff the fast run in the main SCOM solo?

Nope - I couldn't listen even a quarter as long.

A fat old bloke noodling. If I wanted to hear that I'd go to a guitar shop.

I found it a bit rudderless and a bit lacking in excitement. EVH can get away with a long solo cos generally his solo spot it made up from Spanish Fly, Eruption, cathedral etc which are all pieces from albums .... just noodling on it's own isn't the same  
Then again in the seventies it wasn't unusual for Bonham to do a 40 minute drum solo so what do I know ....

Personally I find Slash struggles to make an 11 second solo interesting, so 11 minutes....
