HFT just beat ITO by a vote, OFOTD topped PCTS for the Fair Warning battle, and it's time for the Roth era finals:

Voting ends Tuesday at 11:00 PM EST:

Hot for Teacher vs. One Foot Out the Door

Hot for Teacher

Had to listen to both again just to be safe, and as fucking amazing as "Foot"'s is...I made the right call.

One Foot Out The Door.

Hot for Teacher

Hot for Teacher.

One Foot has some fierce playing, but HFT is better constructed, tighter, and more iconic.

Is that "Hot One Foot?" Very clever...but I don't think that one is in the running.

After long internal deliberation and intense audio analysis I've decided to go with:

One Foot Out the Door

While I admit that the HFT solo is more iconic and a better fit within its song, the OFOTD solo is just a blazing, angry, wild piece of shredding that is a better example of Eddie to the extreme...and I have more fun air-guitaring to it!

One Foot

I dont know why exactly, but I'm surprised HFT solo made it this far.

**VH1986** · 06.22.20, 07:01 AM

Love both these songs and solos but HFT is simply too iconic. HFT!!!

**Simon Ribeiro** · 06.22.20, 07:11 AM

One Foot Out the Door.

Tryin' to hit the road...

I'm surprised One Foot looks could win this thing. I don't even think it's the best solo on Fair Warning, let alone of the entire Roth era.

While HFT is so iconic One Foot is simply a jaw dropping...how the f-ck does someone play guitar like that...Edward shredfest. Have to go with One Foot.
