10 Greatest Rock Bands With More Than Two Guitarists

10. Godspeed You! Black Emperor

Though they might not to be everyone's liking, Canadian experimental rock band Godspeed You! Black Emperor have grown a fearsome fanbase thanks to their unapologetically strange approach to making music.

Utilising a mixture of calm soundscapes and thrashing, frightening cacophonies, as well as spoken word recordings and every day sounds, the band have established themselves as one of the most unique acts in any genre, whilst simultaneously challenging the very concept of genre altogether.

As you'd expect from a group so keen to rip up the rulebook, Godspeed have anything but a conventional line-up. There are currently ten official members, three of whom play guitar; Efrim Menuck, who also plays keyboards, David Bryant, who also operates tape loops, and Mike Moya, who... well, he just plays guitar.

Other positions in the outfit include your standard issue bassists and drummers, but also people who are in charge of the violin and film projections. Yes, film projections. Not quite sure how that counts as a musical instrument, but hey ho.

If you like your music strange and a little bit scary, then Godspeed You! Black Emperor are worth a shot.
