Akefeldt - Lindgren : One of the greatest guitar duo ever ?

[svenske kocken]

I reckon these are the best (and maybe most famous, too) guitar duos ever:

Glenn Tipton / KK Downing
Adrian Smith / Dave Murray
Hank Sherman / Michael Denner
Kerry King / Jeff Hanneman
Kirk Hammet / James Hetfield

Anyone have any other recommendations, please let me know... I love acoustic guitar passages...

Well, Satyricons "Dark Medieval Times" have some great acoustics. Not many, but good.

I don't understand why you can't say something positive about the band on their own forum without ten people bitching about it.

 

[Nocturnal Emperor]

In flames guitar duo is amazing aswell and we cant forget the amott brothers either

*nods* Those are really good names, svenske...
I might also add Adrian Smith / Roy Z to the list

Who exactly called them gods, I didn´t see it and why can´t some one like what they do and talk about ? And why in fucks name shouldn´t I idolise them, I know there are better guitar players and more technical bands with wierd time signature and what not but I don´t fucking care...
Note: I do listen to a lot of other bands and many I can´t get enough of but for some strange reason which is obviously beyond your comprihension Opeth is the one I like the most, you wanker, you!

I sense traumatic childhood experiences...

I understand, and agree, about the lillies though

 

[Of My Darkest Hour]

You guys are forgetting Chuck Schuldiner...i think he is one of the most accomplished metal breakthroughs of all time besides Mikael and Peter.

 

[Obyeybyeogone]

I had a dream about Chuck a few weeks ago, he's so pretty

 

[warsofwinter]

I love the work of Mike and Pete..
that's all I have to say

 

[IanDork107]

I think they are the best duo ever, hands down, without a shadow of a doubt.

Peter Wichers and Ola Frenning. The Chainheart Machine and A Predator's Portrait. Technical and excellently written.

I was wondering if someone was going to mention Soilwork... I don't know why it took this long. But yes, they are amazing. I think my favorite duo list would look like this:

Peter/Ola - Soilwork
Kerry/Jeff - Slayer
Chuck/all of his other guitarists [Andy being a personal fave] - Death
Ihsahn/Samoth - Emperor
Mike/Chris - Arch Enemy
Mike/Peter - Opeth
Jon/John - Dissection
Anders/Alf - At The Gates

Peter Lindgren is a much better guitar player than Dean Lindgren.

 

[Punisher]

who is dean lindgren?

 

[crimsonfloyd]

They're deffinatly up there but I'd have to say Robert Fripp and Adrian Belew from King Crimson. I mean listen to the album discipline, theres no way to tell where one guitar begins and the other ends. But yes Mikeal & Peter are near the top of the list.

 

[MacMoney]

Never been impressed by their guitarwork.

 

[Misanthrope]

They are a descent duo only if you compare them from an opeth fanboy point of view: Fuck technique and theory and bring complex and cool riffs.

He's a guy from my hometown. Nice guy, but not anywhere near the guitar skill of Peter.
