(Poll) Battle Of the Dual Guitar Attacks

just to preemptively argue with people who say " omg dude these bands are the mainstream ones, or X duo is better " , this poll is the most popular dual guitar players in bands, so that more people can know them and vote, theirs no use putting an obscure technical death metal band on a poll even if they are the best duo of guitar players, if only 3 people on this forum have heard of them.

so my criteria for this poll were that the bands were well known and that both players in the duo are well known.. i thought of putting exodus , testament and death on here ( especially death).. but no one really knows the guys Chuck S. had on Death's albums.. their was a new guy every album..

my decision is easy.. megadeth. in my opinion dave mustaine is one of the, if not the best rhythem player their is.. and marty friedmen is my favorite lead player.. and in my top 5 best guitar players.

vote and discuss!

Priests all the way. Glen and KK are the greatest duo ever. 8)

Megadeth's duo.Actually both duos that Megadeth had (Mustaine/Poland and Mustaine/Friedman) beat all the others anyway.

Judas Priest by far, just watch the video for 'painkiller'.

Is it wrong that I saw the thread title and immediately thought Thin Lizzy?

where's Cacophony? the dual guitar playing of Jason Becker and Marty Friedman was incredible.

here's an example

Just because they're "mainstream" doesn't mean they can't be awesome :D. My vote goes to Megadeth. Mustaine is the best rhythm player out there in my opinion, and Friedman is an excellent lead player, although I personally liked Chris Poland better. Hopefully Chris Broderick does some crazy stuff on the new album.

OMFG i just went to megadeth.com, its confirmed.. MEGADETH + SLAYER 4 shows in canada + machine head.... excuse me while i go convert to christianity, because my prayers have been answered..... :P now i gotta drive up from SF to canada erghh...nimatoad2000

Megadeth and Slayer on the same bill, or at different venues at different times?

"Talk about a mind-blowing line-up. Slayer and Megadeth - two of the bands that defined the thrash/metal genre - will perform together for the first time in more than 15 years when they co-headline four shows in Canada in late June. The tour, dubbed "Canadian Carnage," will also feature Machine Head and Suicide Silence, and will see Megadeth and Slayer each closing two of the four shows. " ^ strait from megadeth.comnimatoad2000

Holy Santa Clause ****... I never thought I'd hear of Slayer and Deth playing together again.That would be some concert.You've seen Megadeth live before yeah?

No doubt about it for me, out of those five Dave Murray and Adrian Smith win hands down. I'm not going to say they're the most skillful duo on that list, but they have what matters most - that knack possessed by only a few lead guitarists (Alexi Laiho and Andre Olbrich come to mind) to play more than just notes. Maiden has the instrumental spirit to wield a whole arsenal of emotions. They can create epic battles, dark suspense, triumphal victories even if you take out Harris's completely relevant lyrics and and the heavy metal savior that is Bruce Dickinson. That's no slight at the other guitarists on the list, at least not all of them. Reign in Blood is still the best thrash metal album out there, and Metallica were no joke in their earlier days. Megadeth on the other hand are all skill and no creativity if you ask me, an absolute bore. Judas Priest, well I didn't know anyone even remembered their guitarists. We're talking breaking the law breaking the law WAA breaking the law breaking the law WAA WAA Judas Priest? Can't say I remember British Steel much, and I haven't heard anything else, but I distinctly remember being bored with them. If anyone has a recommendation I'll listen to it.Shad4k

Its a tie between Judas Priest and Iron Maiden for me...

no i have not. i'm 100% ready to drive to canada and see this :Pnimatoad2000

Do it.You'll not regret it, I seen them in February (same month as I seen Judas Priest) and they blew the place away.

british steel is garbage, listen to sad wings of destiny , stained class ( my personal favorite ) , and painkiller.. and your opinion of priest will quickly change.. the 70's were their classic albums, the 80's were mainstream garbage, the downfall starting with british steel, and their 1990 album painkiller was a great thrash album.nimatoad2000

Nevermore..........out of those I'll go with Megadeth Darth-Caedus

Loomis plus Broderick was a great duo. Too bad he never became an "official" member.
