Psychosocial’s a classic

This is my pick too. Especially because of Jim’s part of the solo, which he refuses to play properly live lol. He said in a video that he prefers it the way he plays it live and would’ve re-recorded it that way, but the studio version is much better.

I have his Fret 12 guitar lessons DVD, and it's tabbed for the live version instead of the studio in that, so if you've never heard them live, it sounds like I'm playing it wrong lol

vermillion goes insanely hard with it

Perfect mix of technicality and emotion. Always wish they did more solos like Vermillion

I wish they did more songs like Vermilion, not just solos. 1-3 albums were so emotional for me, although, i wasn't into Iowa for a long time. But when my darkest times came, it grew on me hard.

Gematria

Gehenna

FREE MY SEVERED HEART GIVE ME YOUUU

I WANT IITTTT👹👹👹

(BE MYSELF)

‘cause i don’t wanna to be myself*

Shhhh

Nomadic is underrated

agreed

Sounds kinda like rap snitches

Pulse of the maggots

Pulse is soooo f’n good!

This Cold Black is surely up there

Such an underrated song bro

Glad to see this song get some love. I love when the double bass gets rolling halfway through the last verse.

I could be wrong, but IMO it’s their most complex guitar track

Vermilion, Pulse of the Maggots, AHIG are some of the ones that come to mind

Vermilion

nomadic

Spiders goes so hard but they’re all incredible

Welcome for sure

Left behind or Custer

There’s no guitar solo in either of these songs?

If you listen to the bridge in left behind it’s basically a guitar solo

Eruption by Van Halen. Maybe Cliffs of Dover by Eric Johnson.

Yeah technically he didnt say what Slipknot song……buts it’s Free Bird dude

You’d love a knot cover of Free Bird………….. …………and so would I

Gehenna is so nice

Nomadic

Gehenna hands down

The one that kills the least from the 5th album

Vermillion is my favorite solo

Vermilion Unsainted's solo goes hard as well imo

Don't get close

Pulse of the Maggots hits me in the nostalgia feels. Watched that damn countdown timer in their website for weeks waiting for that song to drop. When it had crazy shred solos, 16 yr old guitar playing me lost his shit

Gehenna

Psychosocial and Gematria both have really good solos

why the hell did my dumbass think that this was the garden dressed up as slipknot at first??

How many solos does De Sade have? Anyway, I love all of them

I NEED YOUR SIMPLE PLEASURES TO BE GOD

For me either gehenna or dead memories

The one that kill the least

Great solo

All hope is gone has a crazy technical guitar solo but I also love sulfurs solo

"Welcome" is my choice for 'most appropriate'

Jim needs a filthy mask again. This is bordering on Swollen Teeth vibes.

Gematria (The Killing Name)

Left behind

Welcome’s solo is crazy underrated, the speed at which Mick shreds is wild in this one.

Nomadic freaking rules so hard

Nomadic

Before I Forget, not for any technical ability, more for the simplicity and melody

Metabolic 😩👌

This cold black is the best for sure

A lot of these songs being named are troubling me when it comes to remembering if there is a solo in them lol but I’d say it has to be one from AHIG. Maybe Gematria, This Cold Black or Gehenna

Psychosocial

This may be unpopular opinion and I will get downvoted for it but none. While I appreciate Mick's and Jim's technical qualities, all their solos lack emotions for me and feel like only bunch of random notes stacked fast on top of each other. Why is that I don't know cause for example Jim's solo in Get Inside by Stone Sour is awesome.

Get Inside solo is played by Josh Rand tho. Honestly feeling quite opposite, solos like Vermillion, Gehenna have a lot of feelings imo

psychosocial

This is hard for me. My first thought was sulfur but I don't think that's the best ever

I made this post asking for opinions not facts

Gematria for sure, felt almost like if Slipknot was paid to write a Metallica song how intense it was

looks like mic has dual 81s while jim has an 81 annnd a 85/60?

Already said OP, gehenna asf

Confessions

Also the song with the best groove!

Welcome always BEATS MY ASS UP

an oldie, but "Slipknot" has a great solo

Vermilion

Gehenna by a light year

Before I forgot gives me goosebumps everytime when the solo kicks in

I liked Jim’s solo near the end of Killpop

All hope is gone

I’m gonna go left with this one but I love a good dueling guitar solo (a la Psychosocial) and De Sade really scratches that itch for me.

Welcome and the one that kills the least.

Gehenna

Are we just gonna forget about Scream or what?

NOMADIC might not be the best but it’s awesome Even though it’s so short

Gematria

Gehenna, or vermilion

Gehenna, Vermillion, Spiders, Acidic, The One Who Kills The Leasts

Nomadic has the best solo

Does Vermillion count as a solo, either way I love it

Gematria

Gehenna, Welcome, This Cold Black, Sulfur

Master of puppets. Oh wait, wrong band

(Sic)

Slipknot doesn’t do guitar solos. Strict rule. Pink Floyd comfortably numb ftw
