10 Rock Music Bands With Two Incredible Guitarists

3. Eagles

Eagles - not The Eagles, as most people call them - can count some of the greatest musicians of the modern age amongst their alumni.

Originally starting life as a backing band for Linda Ronstadt, Eagles quickly found fame on their own and have been gracing the CD collections of middle-aged men ever since.

In terms of guitarists, you're really spoilt for choice when it comes to this lot.

Glenn Frey was the original lead player when he helped found the group in 1971, and over the years he was joined by many more talented players. Don Felder and Bernie Leadon were both formidable, but the one everybody knows is the fantastic Joe Walsh.

Walsh joined the band in 1975, just in time for their fifth studio album Hotel California. Now why does that ring a bell...

The combined power of Frey and Walsh led to that album selling over 32 million copies worldwide. In terms of songs, it birthed Life in the Fast Lane, New Kid in Town, and the legendary titular track.

Pick any point in Eagles' history and you'll find Glenn Frey partnered up with a great performer, but Walsh was by far his greatest shadow.
