Songs with crap guitar solos

Actually, the guitar solo doesn't sound that bad to me. However, an Eddie Cochran solo would have been absolutely awesome on this track!

Gene Vincent was my favourite R'nR performer and he surrounded himself with some great guitar players - like Cliff Gallup, Johnny Meeks and Johnny Merritt. Yet for some reason he decided to play the solo on Somebody Help Me. He appears to get his fingers stuck between the strings during at least two passages. Eddie Cochran was on back-up vocals. Wonder what he thought of Gene's efforts. Somebody should certainly have helped Gene.

Now to get some serious kudos, you would've corrected me. It was of course Jerry Merritt.
