    Of all the things I hate about Classic Rock, harmony lead breaks are the absolute worst. Every time I hear "Reeling In The Years" or "The Boys Are Back In Town" I hate them a little bit more. And I already hate them loads.

    Iron Maiden-"Hallowed Be Thy Name"
    Judas Priest-"Heading Out to the Highway"
    Trouble...anything
    Fucking Champs "Thor is Like Immortal"

    and another one on the new tip...The Fucking Am-"Taking Liberties" (I encourage ALL Thin Lizzy fans to cop their EP "Gold", you wont be disappointed and you will be happy as hell someone is carrying that torch, and carrying it very well, I might add)


    also the current kings of harmony lead guitar, even harmony rhythm...The Fucking Champs:


    cant wait to spin some records at their show:

    if you ever played a harmony riff with someone, you would understand the god-like power that comes from the amps...its like sunbeams cutting through the clouds...playing a lick at an ear splitting volume and then the same lick played over it in a fifth or major third is like a choir of angels dude....

    HUGE

    clearly to truly appreciate solos one has to actually know how to play an instrument and desire to be in a band.

    Iron Maiden-"Hallowed Be Thy Name"

    YES YES YES.

    There are several cuts you could've recommended but that is one of the tops. "Rime of the Ancient Mariner" has some insane twin guitar harmony moments as well.

    even the drummer gets him some guitar harmony, things get buck at about 5:40(counting backwards):

    I've played guitar for over 20 years, and been in bands that made records for at least 10 of those years. Harmony guitar leads are Satan's make-out jams in my personal mind garden. But you guys have fun assuming you know it all, m'kay?

    Is it safe to assume that you celebrate the entire Shrapnel Records catalogue as well?

    Pretty much any Southern rock jam. Haters hate. I'll ride for some redneck triple lead jams.

    I was searching youtube for clips by the Outlaws or the Marshall Tucker Band and found these gems:

    Just the record cover with the song playing. Genius. WTF? (Or Why the fuck?)

    Not the entire catalogue, but I'm more than partial to the Hawaii (worse sounding record evr???), Steeler and Culprit records. Outside of those and Racer X's Second Heat, I didn't love most of their stuff. I was more of a Metal Blade cat (Lizzy Borden and John Arch-era Fates warning are my shit!)

    Yeah.. I'll pass on harmony guitar, and stick to my effect pedals..

    to each his own - outside distortion and chorus, I have little use for pedals. I just prefer meat over grizzle.

    Im a fan of both harmony and effects...in my old shoegaze/space rock band I used to use around a dozen pedals. That magazine Alternative Press used to think I was a keyboard player when they would review our records...

    I wouldn't say I'm an harmony dude to the exclusion of everything else, but more so I fan of decent solos. I'll take Ty Tybor over most shredders.

    Nels Cline is a favorite of mine because he does the facemelt solo thing with a shit-ton of old analog stompboxes...one of the coolest guitar players to see live now-a-days...
    cant embed...but he is doing a guitar version of "Interstellar space"

    Now there's a name I never thought I'd see on the Strut. "Over My Head" still gets play on my iPod.

    no harmony leads...but pure shred dude!

    their whole Megaforce/Atlantic catalog & Orge Tones still gets burn over here.

    I was waiting for Wishbone Ash to come up. The whole "harmony leads" thing was definitely their USP in the '70's. Not saying they were the only ones doing that shit, just that it was key to their sound.
