C.C Deville, Life goes on solo! Cheezy, but very musical! Tone is great and feel is obvious! One really inderestimated guitar solo! Try to get close you fellas!!
What qualifies an underrated guitar solo? I mean if you like a solo in a song and no one else critically acclaims it is it under rated?
There are songs that are super popular but the guitar solos in them are really bad, The Kinks "You really got me" comes to mind. Then you have songs that are totally under the radar and get zero air play that have killer solos in them, just about every Dream Theater recording after "Pull Me Under". Is that what qualifies an under rated solo? a song that doesn't get any air play to make it become popular? Just trying to get a handel on what that means.

Steve Howe Album: Relayer Song: Sound Chaser
The keyboard solo in that song also rips in an awesome fusion kinda way.
Hey.....its not that bad! I like the 1964 version, very cool!
Oh come on! You have to look at the times when it was written and performed! Plus they are often credited with inventing the power chord - this being the prime example. This was before Hendrix, Cream, Marshall amps. Everything has a beginning. I was living in London when this song came out as well as the first hits from The Who "Cant Explain!" Top of The Pops, baby! "Ready, Steady Go!" The Kinks rule!

Well I'm not defensive and I'm not saying the solo was good. I think it's pretty terrible, but I'm not judging it by the standards of today. Plus that was a live TV broadcast. The Kinks were never known for their skill at playing live, at least not THEN. I know. I was there.
I'm not part of the argument or discussion about what makes a solo underrated. I haven't thought about it. I'm not so much interested in that argument/discussion, not that it's not a worthy one. I was just responding to your comparison of that to EVH's version. Unfair.
