[Pauly 4001]

[MrAB4003]

Priest, Maiden

I didn't include Iron Maiden because they have had 3 guitarists since 1999, which is most of their monumental 50 year career so far.

 

[Number179]

Fugazi is missing from the list, so far. I’ll add Gojira the metal list gets long, though. Lamb of God, Mastodon, Opeth, Death (short list).

Dean Deleo covers the sonic spectrum you’d think was two guitars.

Drive Like Jehu should be mentioned as well.

Drive Like Jehu should be mentioned as well.

Nice, I don’t know them but will check them out. Also learned of Slint from a different post today and dug the one tune I listened to of theirs.

Oh and last one from me, my favorite on my list of 2 guitarists, not sure how I forgot them: Hum.

Oh yeah…Spiderland by Slint is one of the all-time post-punk records.

Grateful Dead—we all know that Jerry was the genius

I'm not in full agreement with this. He was great, but he was a much more conventional player and Bob played more like a jazz pianist comping in much of their music. Many of the licks that we associate with them were actually Bob. I saw the band from 1976 to 1994 and never saw him have an off night, although I think the peak of his creativity was possibly '72-74. And listen to the Live/DEAD Dark Star. Weir is really the glue that holds it all together.

And then consider his compositional contributions. Most of the big jam vehicles were Bob's and he had a lot more adventurous harmonic things going on.

 

[MonetBass]

Four pages and no mention of Night Ranger? Brad Gillis and Jeff Watson are two very underrated guitarists, IMO.

All the good albums were Smith and Murray. 2 guitars

 

[mark286]

Mark Morton and Willie Adler in Lamb of God.

 

[Dincrest]

Jon Donais has been their lead guitarist since 2014. He's a full band member and he's featured on For All Kings and their upcoming album. I can't wait for the new Anthrax record to come out!

Killer!

And Shadows Fall put out a new song earlier this year called "Souls Devoured" which I think is pretty darn good.

 

[Sertsa]

I saw these two guitarists along with the rest of the band in November.


And for something completely different, not a band, but Julian Lage and Bill Frisell occasionally play together.

I agree. I thought Night Ranger was mentioned earlier but I can't find it.

 

[wompwomp]

Drive Like Jehu should be mentioned as well.

super duper good choice, I came here to mention Rocket From the Crypt.

also the pixies, buffalo Springfield, the cars, Weezer, lots of great 2 guitar bands

 

[dmt]

Neil Young and Crazy Horse

 

[elliestradiol]

Neck Deep. VERY convenient in this case that they're both my favorite band of all time and one with 2 guitarists

 

[Bunk McNulty]

Don’t expect anyone to remember American Minor. Great two guitar rockers
