What is your favorite Glenn guitar solo?

[Freypower]

I'm listening to Flip City. I wonder if that's Glenn playing the guitar part at the end. I would assume so. The liner notes of the soundtrack just say "performed by Glenn Frey." If it is him, I would include it on my list.

My favorites are:
Smuggler's Blues
Already Gone
The Allnighter
Love in the 21st Century

I would hope Flip City is Glenn but it's so fast & furious. The song is unique. He never played or sang quite that way again.

We were able to confirm that Flip City isn't Glenn, however I don't remember the name of the guy who played it. Does anyone remember?

Thanks, FP. I knew you would find it.

For me it's kind of all or nothing. I enjoy it all but there's few that stand out above the rest. I certainly can't rank them.

King of Hollywood - I know there is a question over who played what, but I love it all regardless of who is playing.

I Can't Tell You Why - as it's one of the best Eagles guitar solos, it has to make the list.

All Those Lies - I can "sing" it in my head without having to play the track.

Witchy Woman - an important part of the sound that won me over to the band.

Baby's Got T' Have It (Max Carl and Big Sound) - it's not that it's exceptional but it's so typically Frey that I knew it was him without checking the notes.

I Dreamed There Was No War - does this count as a solo?

The Heat is On - possibly because there's video of him playing this (even if that's not what we're hearing, it's clear he's playing not miming)

I am so happy I made this thread. Glenn made so many great guitar solos hat he is a criminally underrated lead player.

I can't tell you why is his greatest solo. It is so melodic that even though Felder and Stu made it their own it just couldn't come close to the studio version .

Ah, I've never of him. Even though it isn't Glenn on guitar, Flip City is one of the best songs of Glenn's solo career.

Steve Lukather was in the band Toto, most famous for the song Africa (a song which also features the distinctive backing vocals of a certain long-haired former Poco bassist, initials TBS ). I think he has done quite a bit of session work - he also played the second guitar solo on Dirty Laundry.

This is right up my street! My top five Glenn solos from the Eagles era would probably be in approximate order:
- I Can't Tell You Why
- Take The Devil
- Already Gone
- Try And Love Again
- Too Many Hands

Honourable mention to King Of Hollywood, where I think Glenn plays the solo from roughly about 3:40 to 3:58 minutes into the song (i.e. the first guitar solo - I think it then switches almost immediately to Don F).

I'm unsure as to whether I would consider IDTWNW to be a solo (as a Mark Knopfler fan I have a similar dilemma with the Local Hero theme - I guess in both cases, 'it is and isn't'), but it is a beautiful piece. I don't really know his solo work well enough to make a proper list there.

I notice that all bar one of these are Tim or Randy vocals, so Glenn's comment about always playing on the bass player's songs really does ring true!
