when i saw bad religion, they only had two guitars and both brian baker and greg hetson do solos and they have different styles of playing.
the thing was that when bret returned to bad religion, they didn't want to fire brian baker because a) he played like in 4 successful albums with them and b) he's a far better guitar player than bret.
i remember an interview with ministry where they asked al why they had like 4 guitar players in the band once in the 90's and he said "because nobody knew more than two songs, the only way to play a whole set was to have a bunch of people onstage who just knew bits". hilarious.
