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?

This is a classic example. It looks hilarious on stage. The timeline at the bottom now suggests five for tours.
Slipknot has nine members. I think at least 4 of them play some type of guitar.
When Eddie vedder plays guitar Pearl Jam is playing with 4 guitarists.
I think at one point The Blue Aeroplanes had 4 guitarists.
Little guitar army
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.
As far as I’m aware, they have a singer, two guitarists, a bassist, a keyboardist /samples, a dj, a drummer and two percussionists
No, bass guitar doesn’t actually count haha
I just needed an excuse to mention RBCF haha
Say anything has three and then four when the singer plays
Lynyrd Skynyrd
Frank Zappa’s Band, Fall Tour 1980
Frank Zappa Steve Vai Ray White Ike Willis
The Eagles
4? Stone, Mike and Eddie… Jeff plays bass and Matt on drums.
Travelling Wilburys
If you go to Merlefest (North Carolina / TN Bluegrass) there's usually around 4 guitarists and 2 banjos on stage minimum.
Delivery, Melbourne post punk outfit
Diarrhea Planet. These guys played raging live shows.
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
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.
