But probably what made them fall apart most - Corgan, Pajo and Sweeney battling it out..

Download one of their songs, they kick a$$.
You can play octaves, or different chord voicings,
Exactly what I was going to suggest

Exactly what I was thinking :-D
3 guitars? Damn good idea, should go down well, seeing as most bands have one or two.
> Busted only have two guitarists. The third one plays bass.
Oh are triggyhappyrocker or whatever's band having 3 guitarists and a bass. Will be quite a thick timbre...
Busted also have an invisible drummer so I wouldn't put it past them having another guitarist hidden somewhere.
Actually did anyone see them on Jonathon Woss, where their drum was this huge, muscular bruiser with a goatee and tattoos. He looked so funny playing drums and jamming to the Teen Pop band that Busted are....
Edit: Ugh just actually read the post, and realised that Busted has already been mentioned.
In the past, when I've been in knock about bands, I'm lead guitarist. I can solo better and faster than whoever plays rythm. Which is good, because I'm crap at rythm. But once in a while I would cede and let the other guy have his five minutes of glory. With three guitarists that gets harder to accomplish, keeping everyone happy.
Still, if you can work out the role issues, finding three guitar parts need not be that difficult. For some things, double up the guitars. Lots of people like Vai and Satriani for instance re-record parts to thicken the sound. Play one guitar on the extreme left, and one on the extreme right to get a panning sound, similar to a phasor, but not if you know what I mean. Different channels gives different sounds remember. You can play octaves, or different chord voicings, and I'm beginning to stray into jazz territory now :-D.
Three guitars also works for having a backing track and dual solos over the top. The only thing I would say is going to be necessary for it to work properly is different equipment and sound. See, whilst Iron Maiden have three guitarists, you could take one of them away and not really notice, because mostly, they have the same sound going on. So you really need to have at least one person on a Strat or Tele. To give a cutting sound. And someone else on a humbucker equipped guitar.
