Wer hätte gedacht, Metallica, AC/DC, Slayer, Megadeth und sogar Joe Satriani mal in einer Liste der 100 schlechtesten Soli wiederzufinden? Wohl kaum jemand, denn sie gelten allgemein als ganz große Axt-Künstler.
Doch auch die Besten haben ihre schwachen Momente – und genau die wollen die Ersteller der Liste gefunden haben.
