Bands where the second guitarist owns the lead guitarist...

[Joeytpg]

there are bands where the rythm guitarist or second guitarist, or even the singer who occasionally plays guitar, owns the lead guitarist......be it feel, or creativity, or sometimes (although rare) technicality.

IMO here are some bands that fit, I'd like to hear your thoughts and opinions too

Metallica: I don't have anything against Kirk, I like his playing most of the time, but it's fair to say James is a better guitarist (more creative, has more soul etc)

Machine Head: I prefer Rob's playing

Megadeth: I prefer Dave's stuff over any other lead guitarist he's had.

AC/DC i guess.I know that Angus Young is the icon of the band but the rythm quality of Malcom is just unique.

Best case of that is Def Lep...Campbell smokes Collen.

 

[AmpliFIRE]

AEROSMITH

 

[Gainzilla]

AEROSMITH

DAmn, beat me to it.... Brad>Joe in SPADES

 

[JakeAC5253]

[PaulyPanacea]

Queensryche. Was DeGarmo considered the 2nd guitarist? I thought he WAS Queensryche and the band would have just fine without Wilton.

Mike Keneally playing with Steve Vai
Tony McAlpine playing with Steve Vai

i'll go with aerosmith too.though Perry was my 2nd guitar hero.and the attitude drew me right in.Whitford plays much better notes.

Gotta disagree with the Megadeth statement..
Chris Broderick is by far a better guitar player than Dave.

 

[DeezDemos]

Whitesnake....Reb>Doug

 

[Sierra Voodoo]

Another vote for Hetfield and Malcolm Young!

No kidding....

How about Iron Maiden...seems Dave Murray gets a lot of leads but Adrian's stuff is so unique and not straight forward. Look at the solo for Wasted years, some great technique in that one. Sounds simple until you disect it.
