well iron maiden have 3 guitarists (since they're album brave new world??) so any of their recent songs will work.

But you'll need a mental bassist and an awesome vocalist wink.gif

Turbonegro!

Norwegian band with three guitarists. They call themselves punk rock, but it's not really punk.

Turbonegro has only 2 guitarists but they are funny and easy to play...

Posted by: erik Mar 28 2008, 11:28 PM

ah, you're right. I think they used to have three though..

Pearl Jam have 3 guitarists on a lot of songs. For example Rearviewmirror, I Am Mine, Green Disease, Spin The Black Circle.

Any band that uses harmony leads would be fine, Thin Lizzy, Maiden, even Blind Guardian would work tongue.gif Like this one guitar could play rhythm, while the other 2 could split the leads.

Yeah, I was thinking perhaps something like Black Rose when I mentioned Lizzy biggrin.gif That'd probably be a bar hit...

Posted by: Marcus Siepen Mar 31 2008, 05:15 PM

Black Rose, Boys are back in town, waiting for an aliby, just pick any song from that incredible band, you can't go wrong smile.gif

Posted by: Jakub Luptovec Mar 31 2008, 07:37 PM

Iľl check them out and tell you:) I'll also check out Blind guardian - never heard them... I did hear OF them, ABOUT them, but not them smile.gif

good advice! you can try to cover and then there was silence, but I don't think that 3 guitars are enough laugh.gif

lol hmmm, as far as I remember we recorded more than 3 guitar tracks for that song... tongue.gif But when we play it live there are only 2 guitars, so it works

Posted by: Alex87 Apr 1 2008, 02:09 PM

Mostly of the Eagles songs are great for 3 guitars. Usually they have one acoustic or 12-string as rhytm and 2 lead doing very nice riffs, and fills. You should check out Hell Freezes Over DVD or Farewell One Tour DVD.

And +1 to Maiden, my alltime favorite band smile.gif

Cheers, Alex
