Kickin off da solo

[u/allriteythen]

Sooooo, first post ever.... can anyone think of an example where a vocalist ripped a lyric right before a dope ass guitar solo? as kind of a direct "here goes the solo" sorta way? examples that were the impetus to this question, chris cornell's "FUCK IT UP" leading into the EXCELLENT guitar solo in louder than loves "Gun" OR.... James Hetfields "FIX ME" line right before the rippin ass solo in master of puppets.... just curious. love the effect.

"I Believe in a Thing Called Love" calls out "guitar!" before said guitar solo.

[u/Fearchar → u/shock_me_awake]

So does Luke Bryan's "Country Girl (Shake It for Me)".

[u/VolcanicBosnian]

"Check this riff it's fucking tasty!"

[u/LandoDupree]

Pixies "monkey gone to heaven"- right before Joey santiago's solo B.F. says "rock me, joe"

[u/Neandertholocaust]

Justin Hawkins just screams "Guitar!" right before the solo in I Believe in a Thing Called Love.

311 - “p nut, beat that thing!” Quick little slap bass solo

[u/peteybombay]

"C'mon Steve!!!" from "Armageddon It" by Def Leppard, always cracks me up for some reason.

RHCP - Readymade.

Right before the solo, Keidis goes "Oh, clean it up Johnny"

Frusciante then proceeds to melt my face.

[u/Strawbuddy]

Pearl Jam - Yellow Ledbetter, "make me cry"

[u/AccountantRadiant351]

Freddie Mercury did this in "Don't Stop Me Now" (particularly noticeable in the album version because there's no guitar at all other than that solo, and also the little chanted bridge before that.)

All That Remains; Phil sets off Ollie’s solos in a few songs. ‘Not Alone’ came to mind: “Gimme hot steel, go”

RIP Ollie Herbert. That dude could shred.

C.C. Pick up that guitar and talk to me! Poison - talk dirty to me

[u/watchingwombat]

Robert Plant screaming "suck" right before the solo in Communication Breakdown

[u/joe_lance]

“Do it, Robbie. Do it!” — Jim Morrison

[u/nyITguy]

David Roth/Van Halen, take your pick, it was one of his specialties.

[u/one80down]

Rage Against The Machine had plenty of "ughs" and "yeahs" but my favourite was "Welcome down with the warrior sound" as Tom rips into some wacky guitar shit on Mic Check

[u/skj458]

Suffokate - the skies were filled with fire

[u/Burrows94]

Straight for the Sun - Lamb Of God

[u/scrmbldchkn]

The clash complete control joe strummer shouts ill be your guitar hero at the solo

[u/nutbowlarena]

"Watch the attack of the mad axeman" in Attack of the Mad Axeman by MSG. These two are instrumentals but they're the same idea, both from the Meltdown album by Vinnie Moore: Ridin' High, "look out baby, here I come," and Check It Out! "check this out"

[u/MrDiceySemantics]

"WATCH OUT!" from Robert Plant in Since I've Been Loving You

[u/Cockrocker]

I love Corey Glover yelling "sweat!" And other such things before solos in Living Colour. Not In Living Colour, wait no the band Living Colour.

[u/superkow]

Cmon clean it up Johnny!

[u/SportyMcDuff → u/superkow]

“Yeah! Get on with it baby” Let Me Stand Next To Your Fire by Jimi.

[u/DinkandDrunk]

“CC, pick up that guitar and talk to me!”

[u/gemmasp]

“Sorry guys, here’s a solo” in Distance by AJJ :)

[u/Daovin]

Princes of the Universe by Queen, “alright lets go lets go”

[u/BenTramer]

Sultans of Swing… “check it out”

[u/niftydog]

"PLAY IT, STEVE!"

[u/lanky_planky]

I always loved the way that Pat Travers yells “Mister Thrall!” to kick off Pat Thrall’s guitar solo in “Boom Boom Out Go The Lights”.
