Steve Vai is great. I know that's an unpopolar opinion here but damn he's good fun. He has a sense of humour so his virtuosity doesn't seem masturbatory or to take itself seriously like the work of other technically accomplished players. Here's a good example:

Steve vai is great if you like putting penises in your mouth
Where's Don Felder Heavy Metal'solo?
Eagles - One of These Nights
One of the Hotel California guitarists (Don Felder) plays the solo. It's not as melodic as Hotel California, but you might like it.

the solo, whilst not responcible for the song's success, is a worthy addition to one of the best songs ever. The song is better known than the band, for that reason exactly. And the lyrics
Are you talking about Hotel California or One of These Nights?
if a guitar could masturbate it would sound like steve vai's playing
well youknow, given Hotel California is generally regarded as one of the best songs ever, OOTN pales in comparison, commercially speaking.
Yeah I figured, but I was confused as to why you even gave that response to what I said. It didn't really seem relevant, like you're insulting my suggestion.
Are you saying you want solos that are worthy additions to what are generally regarded as great songs?
The problem with you is that you already have a bias against guitar solos. I could recommend you some arguably objectively excellent solos, but you might not like them because you don't really have an ear for guitar solos as a separate entity from the song as a whole.
go for it. I welcome them.
I didn't meant to offend
