Man, I fucking love Zappa's soloing style, he shreds a tiny bit here and there, but it's mostly chilled and has this sort of swinging swagger to it. No idea how else to describe it, maybe you guys will dig it:
Please share some more crazy guitar solos for me from any and every artist, my ears are craving more!
I also wanted to share some of my favorite drum solos of all time. It's not that they're super complex or breaking records or anything, it's down to style:
(basically the whole song, but especially 1:00 onward)
(starts at 2:34)

I find a lot of drum solos kind of forced. It's like "okay guys, nobody notices this guy so how about we shut up for 5 minutes and let him have all the attention?". So you get this random segment that has nothing to do with anything, and then it's back to the real deal. Doesn't seem like good songwriting to me. With that said, there are some drum solos I greatly enjoy and find fitting. This is probably the best one I can think of (begins at 3:00). The guy was only 20 at the time...

Power and the passion is the high standard of drum solo in the context of a song.
I used to be big on guitar solos but find most to be musical masturbation these days. For wankers though I still enjoy the original G3 of Satch, Johnson and Vai, specifically Manhattan by Eric Johnson and For the Love of God by Steve Vai.

Funny, because quite a lot of bands have the drummers as the big attraction, like Lagwagon, Descendents/All, Blink-182 (after 1997), Frenzal Rhomb (although the whole band is equally awesome), Satanic Surfers, etc. At 1:25 I love how it starts off as a bass solo, and then the guitar and the drums join in to do solos as well and it turns into a pile of solos layered upon each other to create the best climax I've ever heard. The introductionary drum solo accompanied with a guitar solo later on within the solo. A few small solos at the beginning and then the big one hits at 1:45.

I have to disagree with Memfis as well, even before I started playing instruments, I always loved the interesting rhythms good drummers come up with during solos. I never thought of it as "oh, the under appreciated drummer gets his picture up on the fridge", I just always heard interesting music that got me groovin in a tribal sense almost. That's what I love most about drumming!
Glen, Vai is a total beast!

You’ve gotta be a beast to transcribe for Frank Zappa!

Yes you do! Vai and Zappa shredding side by side is simply epic. Even if Vai's wearing what look like tidey whities.

This trumpet solo at 0:50 and that acapella solo at the end.

This is my favorite Metallica solo, and what I think was definitely the inspiration for "Sign of Evil" (Music from E1M8 for those who for whatever reason didn't know).

For me there#s certain melodic sections that really make a song. They can be quite simple, or lengthy and complex. A good example of one that serves as an intro and also a recurring segment is the first 57 seconds or so of this song.
And the first 50 seconds of this one too:
It's when Melodic Death Metal really shines.

From 2:02.
From 7:28. DFM is way too underrated in my book.
