Bands with multiple lead guitars

I have been a fan of multi lead guitars since the early 80's. Here are a couple of my favs with more than one lead guitar, what are yours? Include videos if you can.


(they actually used three lead guitars)

Allmans. Pearl Jam. Maiden etc.

Too many to list.
 
Priest's Defenders of the Faith album was the second album that I ever bought. Tipton and Downing are amazing guitarists and went back and forth between each other in the solos, similar to how the guys in Skynyrd did.
Great squash btw
 
Molly Hatchet was good on the guitar harmonies. April Wine too.
I recently picked up Molly Hatchet's debut album and Flirtin' With Disaster...both sublime. I love April Wine, have Harder Faster and Nature of the Beast, both fabulous.
 
in some ways, Styx was this way as well...with JY and Tommy Shaw sometimes joining in solos, but for me the main ones have alread been menitoned:

1. Iron Maiden
2. Judas Preist
3. Queensryche

I think I would also add The Scorpions, Accept, Ratt and Armored Saint to the list

What was the first?
 
One of my favorites, King Diamond's band in the late 80s, but his voice utterly ruined it for me.
Queensryche, Skid Row, Tesla

Ratt, their inverted chords were a huge part of their sound. Actually I think Scorpions did that a lot too.

Some others:
Nevermore
Racer X
Mordred (Fool's Game album)
Don Dokken (John Norum, Billy White)
Leatherwolf, although I only really like one song: Spirits in the Wind
