Top 10 Songs with the Best Dimebag Darrell Solos

Dimebag Darrell was one of the most explosive and influential metal guitarists of all time. His playing was aggressive yet melodic, technical yet soulful. As the lead guitarist of Pantera, he helped define the groove metal sound, delivering some of the most blistering, emotional, and downright nasty solos in heavy music. From screaming harmonics to lightning-fast runs and bluesy bends, his style was instantly recognizable.

Even though his life was cut short, his music lives on. His solos weren't just about shredding. Though he could outplay almost anyone, they were packed with emotion and attitude. Some are slow and haunting. Others are full of chaos and speed. All of them are unforgettable.
The Top Ten
Floods

Sounds like zxm had a problem pulling this one off. Keep chugging, buddy, you'll get it. Unorthodox style is what makes Dimebag a legend.

Cemetery Gates

Beautiful guitar solo with some really tasteful shredding.

Domination

A pure masterpiece. Hell, his fingers were practically on fire after that blistering solo, one of my favorite Dimebag solos.

The Sleep

This easily deserves either number 1 or 2, behind only maybe Floods or Sunken Cheeks. Actually, it's shameful it's only number 4. This is peak Dimebag greatness on display, so much soul in those screeching bends and then it builds up into a monster shredding finish. Top tier in my opinion.

It combines elements and techniques of many different scopes, all of which Dimebag dominated. Insanely good, perfect for the song's chord progression. Chilling. R.I.P., Dimebag, thank you for your legacy.

This is just such a good solo. You think it's over with the short clean breakdown, and then the screeches come back in, just so much emotion and technique and passion.

Walk
Cowboys from Hell
10's

Such an emotional solo. I love how it starts off all sad and gloomy, but it brightens up more as the solo goes on. That mixed with all the tasty licks put in there, this has to be one of Dime's best solos. (R.I.P. Dimebag)

One of my favorite solos. Other notable mentions: Mouth For War, The Sleep (which is already 2nd place - I don't need to vote for that), Domination...

I didn't even know shredding could make me shed a tear (pun intended).

Revolution Is My Name
We'll Meet Again
Message in Blood

The Newcomers

? Come on Eyes
? I'm Broken
The Contenders
This Love
Psycho Holiday

This list is missing the greatest solos! Psycho Holiday and Rejection are by far the top 2 solos where Dimebag shows his unique and unmatched skills.

Drag the Waters
The Great Southern Trendkill

Why isn't this higher? It's a kickass solo with all the bends and squeals to make your thighs wet.

This should be in the top 10 at least. It's got all the tasty blues licks you could ever want, along with some unexpected slide work by Dime. Overall, an amazing solo. Needs to be higher.

A New Level
Throes of Rejection

Throes of Rejection is just a very underrated song in general. But the solo makes it even more underrated. Like, how could you not like that song after that solo? It's got some crazy fast licks in there, but they aren't too much either. Amazing solo.

VERY underrated solo, one of Dime's hardest solos to pull off and has very cool bends and legato runs.

Very difficult solo and really cool.

Hard Lines And Sunken Cheeks
Mouth for War
5 Minutes Alone
Avoid the Light
All Over Tonight

From their second album, Projects in the Jungle, the first track. He kills it here.
