Lokair Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 I remember seeing Stryper open for someband, and knew that there was talent there. A few years later a buddy of mine went on to be a touring musician with one of their ex members and told me how the guy was great at every instrument, bass, guitar, keys, drums and some brass too, like good to the point if that was your instrument you were scared he just out played you with out ever trying. I will see if Rusty is in town for the holidays and ask more about it.

whitefang Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 In a "classic movie" forum I belong to, there's always arguments based on the idea of the "best" anything. Best according to WHOM? Over there we agreed to voice our opinions based on Guitarzan's notion of "favorite". "Greatest" could have many interpretations. Recording sales, concert attendance, output, level of fame, etc. So it can be pretty ambiguous. So it's "best" to ingnore any "best" lists altogether. Whitefang I started out with NOTHING...and I still have most of it left! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So many were brought up and I didn't feel like going through five pages of thread to find out. But since most rock bands have two guitarists in them, wouldn't this list be REALLY long? Like I recall I earlier inquired if the term "two guitar band" meant that the band had TWO guitarists that did leads? That would wittle down the list a bit.

Whitefang Duel leads are definitely cool (the Eagles are famous for this kind of sound). For me, it's more about the 1 guitar power trio vs the 2 guitar 4 piece garage bands. Where would the Ventures (CCR, Stones, Beatles, Marshall Tucker, etc.,) have been without the rhythm guitar? I love hearing SRV and Beck and with that much talent, power trios do sound good too...I just like having a rhythm guitar in the band. My 2 cents. I can't pick the best or the greatest 2 guitar band in history, even if the list is whittled down a bit. Take care, Larryz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recording sales, concert attendance, output, level of fame, etc. So it can be pretty ambiguous. So it's "best" to ignore any "best" lists altogether. Whitefang It's actually pretty simple, if I like it, it's good, if I love it, it's the best. If I don't like it, it sucks, the songwriter disappeared and all mention of him be expunged from history, the band should be bound and cast into a pit , all its fans neutered, and all copies of the song should be burned, buried, and the ground salted. Strong opinions? I got 'em. Back to the matter at hand, for two guitars, how about Rogrigo and Gabriela? If we're going to mention three guitars, I guess the Eagles deserve a mention, "Hotel California" is a great example of how important it is that three guitarists play complementary rhythms, and not the same thing!

Griffinator Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Yep, as is Iron Maiden and certain lineups of Lynyrd Skynyrd. ...Ya can't get to 3 without hittin' 2! Iron Maiden, during their peak, was a 2-guitar band. When Bruce Dickinson and Adrian Smith rejoined the band in 2000, they decided to keep Yannick Gers around and make it a 3-guitar package. Personally, I don't think Gers adds all that much. A bunch of loud, obnoxious music I USED to make with friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannyalcatraz Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 All true (except maybe the dis on Gers)...none of which detracts from them being a great 2 guitar band. Sturgeon's 2nd Law, a.k.a.

( I really don't care for the Eagles, but a friend pointed out all three parts once, and I was impressed) If we're going 3, I'm going with The Outlaws! The last band I was in was a 3-guitar band...but the lead singer just strummed an acoustic. Damn good sense of rhythm, though - we did NOT have him on mute! It worked because me and the other electric guitarist had such completely different styles that there was almost no overlap between us. Overall, the whole 3-guitar part was probably my fave thing about being in that band. I would do it (the 3-guitar thing, not that particular band) again. http://blip.fm/invite/WorkRelease Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't pick the best or the greatest 2 guitar band in history, even if the list is whittled down a bit. I personally like to hear a rhythm guitar in the background holding down a groove while a lead is being played or a little noodling going on. The Skynyrd boys, Kieth, and Malcom were good at it. Also, there is so much more to rhythm guitar than just strumming chords.
