birddog said:
Gotta go with PioneerHPMLuver, Nobody could switch up on guitar, going from screaming lead back to rythmm, like Glenn & KK could, they seamlessly swapped back and forth in a sonic attack that would leave you dazed and sceaming for more! And lets not forget the Young brothers from AC/DC!
Yea Birddog , I'D surely have to agree with you 100%... :yes: OK , well I figured it might come to this :yes: Being that they're ARE so many TWIN GUITAR DUOES in the Hard Rock / Metal / BIG HAIR 80's genre , I guess ANYTHING GOES :yes: IF it's 2 OR 3 guitar bands that YOU FEEL SHOULD BE MENTIONED ? LET IT RIP :yes: :thmbsp: I feel no need to draw the line here. :no: But if you DO ? :yes: Please speak up :yes: I figure this Thread will dwindle out once most of the "TWIN" GUITAR ATTACK Bands are mentioned anyway. Even some bad ones :yes:

Speaking of Hard Rock / metal "TWIN GUITAR DUOES".....I'D say these guys are worth mentioning :yes: WOLF HOFFMANN & HERMANN FRANK from German rockers "ACCEPT" :yes: ....
 
You know who I didn't mention...Nick Valensi and Albert Hammond Jr. of The Strokes. I know plenty of people here find the band overrated, but if you have seen these guys play live and watch the way they exchange leads and weave lines, you'd be mighty impressed.

Plus, I love Nick's guitar:

Hey There Bogframe , Thanks for the heads up I must admitt that I had forgotten MARCHELLO & GATTO So I went to my ol' vinyl library and whipped out The GOOD RATS ....LIVE AT LAST double Lp on vinyl , figuring there's got to be some good twin guitar interplay here. And yes there is. I am enjoying it right now... Thanks for all the reminders & suggestions:
I first got hooked on those guys in 1978 when they were playing Circus Circus in Bergenfield, NJ. They were opening for some weirdoes in wigs and fishnets called Twisted Sister;). I saw them again in 1979 when they played Bergen Community College and they blew the roof off the place! Saw them again at one of the last gigs played at The Capitol Theater in Passaic, NJ (1980) playing a full set opening for Jack Bruce and friends. They blew the roof off that place too. The last time I saw the old line-up was at Club 300 in Ramsey, an AMF bowling alley slated for demolition (still nothing built on that site after 20 years). I didn't know it at the time, but it would be the last time The Cat would play with the band. That was a two-hour set, and the crowd was still yelling for more. Damn, I miss those guys! Anyone able to scare up a copy of Live at Last, Tasty, From Rats to Riches or Ratcity in Blue won't be dissapointed, I promise on my AK membership!
"We like to play that rock-n-roll
Man, that's the only way to go
A drummer, bass and two guitars
When you're playing Tasty, you'll go far
We're Gonna play Tasty, oh yeah
Tasty Rock-N-Roll, awwwwriiiiiiiiiite!
Tasty, ooh Tasty, ain't it time to mellow out?"

Yea Bogframe , I've only got TASTY & LIVE AT LAST on vinyl. :yes: I am gonna make an attempt to pick up the other 2 also. :yes: I've always enjoyed the GOOD RATS , But It would have helped , Being able to see them live. Never got to out here on the West Coast. :no:
 
Stephen Stills and Neil Young, w/David Crosby on "Southern Man" from the 4way Street Album. Just plain awesome guitar lick trading if there ever was...IMHO...
Cheers...
 
Neil Young and Danny Whitten (Crazy Horse) way back on the everybody knows this is nowhere album. They're great throughout, but on Cowgirl in the Sand and Down By the River, they feed of each to make a wonder piece of music.
 
David Hidalgo and Cesar Rosas of Los Lobos.

Roger McGuinn and Clarence White - The Byrds

Zoot Horn Rollo and Rockette Morton - The Magic Band

BEST/FAVORITE GUITAR "DUOES"? "twin guitar assault faves

one of the most badassed things i have ever heard is a one off live of ratt with warren demartini and michael shenker doing creedence's "born on the bayou" stephen pearcy nails it and the riffing by both at the end is killer. I MEAN KILLER. oh and shenker smokes my boy demartini. damn germans


my two sents
vegaman
 
Duane Allman and any of the assorted combos with Claptin, Harrison and Dickey Betts Steeve Cropper from the old soul tunes of atlantic. Check out the Duane Alman Anthology set.
 
Man, I had to read thru these TWICE...Didn't see Randy Bachman and Blair Thornton of BTO :music: On the LP Not Fragile it's Blair on the right
and Bachman on the left.
Great thread.
 
Many years ago Larry Coryell and Steve Khan produced a GREAT acoustic duo LP. I just can't recall the name, but I have it at home! Then there was the Coryell, McGlaughlin, DaLucia trio record...Yowza!

And then by sharp contrast Adrian Belew and Robert Fripp in the 1980s incarnation of King Crimson...I saw a rippin' show in 1981 in Syracuse NY...did that Robert Fripp COOK (complete with tape loops!) with the counterpoint of Adrian Belew!

Excuse the mis-spellings!
