Some of my favourites (Top 10 basically) :shred::

- Dave Murray/Adrian Smith (and also Janick for that matter) (Iron Maiden)

- Glenn Tipton/K.K. Downing (Judas Priest)

- Alex Skolnick/Eric Peterson (Testament)

- James Hetfield/Kirk Hammett (Metallica)

- Jeff Hannemann/Kerry King (Slayer)

- Hank Shermann/Michael Denner (Mercyful Fate)

- Synyster Gates/Zacky Vengeance (Avenged Sevenfold)

- Michael Amott/Christopher Amott (Arch Enemy)

- Warren DeMartini/Robbin Crosby (Ratt)

- Chris DeGarmo/Michael Wilton (Queensryche)
 
Where's Marty Friedman /Dave Mustaine? :eek:

ALMOST made it in my list! Since Megadeth have had a consistent changes in lead guitarists, it was a bit difficult even though the lineup with Dave/Marty is considered "classic". While I do love their duo, I also like Dave/Chris Broderick and Dave/Kiko as well.
 
In no particular order:
  • Adrian Smith / Dave Murray (Iron Maiden)
  • Adrian Smith / Roy Z. (Bruce Dickinson)
  • Adrian Smith / Richie Kotzen (Smith/Kotzen)
  • Dave Mustaine / Chris Poland (Megadeth)
  • Dave Mustaine / Marty Friedman (Megadeth)
  • Kai Hansen / Henjo Richter (Gamma Ray)
  • Chris DeGarmo / Michael Wilton (Queensrÿche)
  • Warren DeMartini / Robbin Crosby (Ratt)
  • Warren DeMartini / Carlos Cavazo (Ratt)
  • Matthias Jabs / Rudolf Schenker (Scorpions)
  • Steve Clark / Pete Willis (Def Leppard)
  • Glenn Tipton / K.K. Downing (Judas Priest)
  • Glenn Tipton / Richie Faulkner (Judas Priest)
  • Matt Tluchowski / Steve Lahocky (Doctor Smoke)
  • Matthew Greywolf / Charles Greywolf (Powerwolf)
  • Mikael Åkerfeldt / Peter Lindgren (Opeth, too bad about those vocals!)
