who is the best metal guitar duet

i know there are wayyyyyyyyyyyy more but i had a hard time thinkin of thes ones.......and i listen to them everyday haha :)

Dave Mustaine and Marty Friedman.

You should have put a "other" option.

Dave Murray and Adrian Smith.
Mustaine and Friedman.
Glenn Tipton and KK Downing
Paul Gilbert and Billy Sheehan (he shreds like its a guitar)
Frank Zappa and Steve Vai
The Various guitarists who have been in Steely Dan

LMAO thanks you 2.....now VOTE....or use a post as an "other" option

steely dan?

I know it's not metal, but any Allman Brothers Band line-up. Duane and **ey, **ey and Warren Haynes, Warren and Derek Trucks.

I voted Cacophony out of the ones you have listed, since it is a poll after all XD

Trivium!

Jason Becker and Friedman were monsters in their time. But their styles are outdated. Everyone loves those guys, hell, I love those guys. But their playing is not timeless. That was then, this is now.

Dragon Force suck and the others on your list don't come close.

Trivium all the way.



+1

Rock on!

+1 that was my first thought but as it's not there I'd have to say trivium are the best out of those options

Oh, I forgot it was "metal" guitar duos. So subtract Zappa and Vai, and Steely Dan from mine. Even though they are great duos.

Angus and Malcolm Young AC/DC. (not rated by technical prowess here)

Dragonforce... rolling on the floor laughing as hell (ROFLAH) XD...

Al Di Meola & Paco De Lucia?

maybe these two?



hahhah, pretty hard this is...

Rod... y Gab....?? ?? yeah...

I voted trivium but would go with Glenn Tipton and KK Downing, those guys are just awesome.

I voted for Becker and Friedman (sounds like a law firm!) but I really like KK Downing and Glen Tipton.

...what idiot voted for a7x... jason and marty got my votes. their style will never be outdated and jason will always be numero uno

Whats wrong with A7X?

I've always thought of them as the boyband of heavy metal...

@case
lol, now that you mention it I notice Syn Gates wears a lot of makeup/tight clothes...

@guitarmastergod
I think I was the first, but only because they are the only ones I listen to (though rarely) up there

A7x is the "hipsters" of metal.

I could easily vote A7X... some of them are pretty strange phrasing, but most of the time I like their sound. They work pretty cool on stage and play well together so...? I give it another vote ha!

(is there a little line between rock and metal?)

I really wonder how no one mentioned Iced earth dudes eh?





Emp

@emp i think that line is VERY thin. rock and metal all the same to me

Me and my mate larry.

Dave Mustaine- Chris Broderick

@Mosh i definitely should have put that....and broderick and loomis

I would vote for Trivium
Corey and Matt (IMO) are the best among the list..
Especially in "In The Fire - Roadrunner United" :)

Since the question was Metal Guitar Duo, (not heavy metal) i'd say Robin Guthrie and his own ovedubs (from the Cocteau Twins).

Where's Murray and Smith from Iron Maiden? These guys had some of the greatest harmony duel leads and trade-off leads ever!

That's true, I'll change my vote to Iron Maiden.

I voted dragonforce. Trivium is decent. But meh.

There are so many misses here. Freidman and Becker are arguably the best, Bullet for my Valentine and Atreyu shouldn't have made the list, the guys from AV7x are alright, Dragon Force is a joke... so that leaves Trivium.

I absolutely vote for Trivium out of this group. But like I said, so many misses.

I wouldnt call dragonforce a joke. They play music that they enjoy,and people buy there albums. If there a joke,I would also like to be a joke...As assinine as it sounds. They may be sorta kooky and shreddy, but I respect them as artists. Trivium is cool,and there guitar sound is just as digital as Dragonforce. Id prefer Herman and sam's tone over trivuim though.

But what it boils down to is opinion. Some Ax7 is ok. Bullet for my valentine is a bit noisy for my taste.Atreyu is ok. Becker and friendman are no doubt baddasses,and the winners.

Robert Fripp and Adrian Belew of King Crimson should definitely get a mention if we're talking guitar duos, the interplay between the two is quite awesome. Tell me this isn't metal.
