Water cooler discussion at work. According to google the longest solo in a top ten hit was November rain by GnR. It comes in at a grueling 8 min 59secs.
Any other contenders?

Iron Butterfly - In A Gadda Davida

Whenever I'm listening, it never seems to go longer than 1 min.
cuz that's when I press skip or change the station.

yeah our first thought was iron butterfly as well, but according to the band it was a jam session and not a bonifide solo... go figure!

I don't think so, the guitar solos are like 13 minutes long. hehee

november rain is 8 min??

yeah thats what i thought, but i do not have any GnR so i could not check... I just knew they had 2 albums in one, so it must have been hella long
what about pink floyd?

hendrix's voodoo child, that's pretty much just a solo in song form.
