The greatest guitar solo that there ever has been anywhere ever in the universe is so obviously the tiny little guitar solo in Journey's "Don't Stop Believin" that it is lmost not worth having the argument. People who hold the contrary view are so obviously deranged, that they deserve pity rather than scorn. Actually they deserve to be taken round the back and beaten mercilessly by the Musical Taste Police.
It is a perfect song. It reminds me of my pal from school Davie Robertson (whom I haven't seen for years - I was very envious of him once because he was a ball boy at the Hamilton Accies). He knew about Journey before the rest of us, and he had a grainy old video recording of them that was like switching a light on to what music could be.
It also reminds me of being in the van with the stage crew travelling down to Stranraer and singing our heads off, in what can only be described as a cab full of happiness.
And if you hven't seen the but in the film "Monster" in the roller disco, you haven't yet fully experience all that life has to offer.
