I want to know what song this is gonna be on. the rhythm section sounds badass.

While I do think this is kinda lazy for them to just get somebody else to write a cool solo for them, it's still a cool idea to begin with, and now whoever that guy is might get some recognition among bands looking for a guitarist, so win win for both parties.

A band can only ask for their fans to write something for em once and that's pretty cool. It's a great way for the fans to get even more personally involved and interested. Good job.
