^Dude, like 90% of that list is either RATM or Audioslave. Now I'm not bashing Morello here, but there's like 10,000 guitarists out there who shit all over everything he's ever done.
Off the top of my head, "Rebubula" by Moe owns every song you posted in all 3 catagories. That's just the first song that popped into my head, there's infinite others that are better then that.
I hate people who don't listen to good music.

He's not 'dissing' your music taste, I think he just means he hates when people don't listen to better music, which I agree with. Like he said, there are tones of other bands that shit on RATM and Audioslave.

The Trooper - Iron Maiden
I just played that song with a few people I had only met a few minutes prior in front of an audience of about 30 people. It went remarkably well, especially as loads of people were singing along. I think my guitar might have cut out towards the end, but all in all it was great! I hate talking infront of an audience, but with a guitar in my hands I can overcome stagefright. Basically, to sum it up; :ahhh:
Riffs:
Megadeth - Hanger 18 (the end riff)
Mekong Delta - Dances of Death - Eruption
Vio-Lence - Torture Tactics
Iced Earth - Stormrider
Heathen - Hypnotized (theres so many riffs to choose from!)
Coroner - Reborn Through Hate
Amon Amarth - The Last With Pagan Blood
Solos:
Necrophagist - Fermented Offal Discharge
Necrophagist - Epitaph
Iron Maiden - The Trooper (The harmony!! :ahhh: )
Judas Priest - Beyond the Realms of Death
Megadeth - Holy Wars
Deep Purple - Child in Time
Bass lines:
Necrophagist - Only Ash Remains
Megadeth - Chosen Ones
Most Atheist songs have great bass lines.
The Last With Pagan Blood - Amon Amarth
Its that riff that they end the song with isn't it. Fucking epic.

Did you have a person playing the harmony? It tends to sound hollow when there's only one lead.
Anyway, sounds awesome. :D

I didn't play the lead. Partly because I don't know it, partly because I really need to change my guitar strings and partly because I probably can't. The other guy only knew the second solo, but his improv wasn't bad. Not that I could really hear his guitar. It was still awesome though. It was the first time I've played my guitar infront of an audience as well. :D
