Single-guitarist live bands

[VinylGuy]

There are so many examples, im not even sure why we have this thread.
Ill add Alice In Chains and Tool.

[Jorge]

Those two examples are disqualified

[VinylGuy]

no

[Jorge]

My thread, my rules. Disqualified!

[VinylGuy]

just checked this in the Official RM Thread Rules, and they count.

Actually they count double. So its 4 bands.

[Jorge]

VinylGuy is banned from this thread

[Kevin Davis]

Jimi Hendrix Experience
The Who
U2
Nirvana and REM for parts of their career

[Jorge]

Early The Who is a good example but even they eventually saw the light and added another live player

U2 uses a lot of backing tracks live I think... not sure whether they count

[VinylGuy]

U2 is another great example yeah.

Jane´s Addiction too.

Ramones. Pixies. The Stooges.

Ok, im tired of this.

[Jorge]

Huh? Pixies has two guitarists. Ramones specifically goes against the thread premise because there's no soloing

No wonder I banned you

[Kevin Davis]

U2 use a backing track now for sure, but I don't think they did early on; if you listen to Under a Blood Red Sky or Rattle and Hum, Edge does a pretty good job filling in the sound. I'm sure the heavy delay effect helps.

Question related to the OP: is there a rhythm guitar track during the solo on the studio version of "Scar Tissue?" I don't remember one. I think maybe they just suck live.

[Jorge]

Yeah there's chords under there

[tragabigzanda]

[Jorge]

Yes I did

[Jorge]

Local H is an extreme example.
