Any bands with at least 4 guitarists

Submitted by Due_Cause_5661 t3_z55a8r in Music

Hi everyone, I was wondering if there are bands that have at least 4 guitar players. The Brian Jonestown massacre is the only band that comes to mind, though they may only have 3 guitarists currently.

So are there any bands with 4 (besides TBJM) or even 5 guitarists you know?

One of the best live acts I’ve ever seen. I was lucky enough to see them 4 times and wish it had been 40. Hoping the couple of shows they played last week to celebrate the Exit/In closing will give them the itch to get back together. Unlikely but one can hope.

Futurebirds. If you count a pedal steel as a guitar.

I once saw both of these bands at the same show and at one point they had 12 guys on a tiny stage jamming together. I can honestly say it was one of the best shows I’ve ever been to. And I’ve been going to see live music for 40 years

Gipsy Kings had about 14 haha Blue oyster cult. Travelling Wilburys. If you count bass guitar then there would be a few, Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever a standout.

If you go to Merlefest (North Carolina / TN Bluegrass) there's usually around 4 guitarists and 2 banjos on stage minimum.

Slipknot has nine members. I think at least 4 of them play some type of guitar.
