They could use how as many guitars as they want to make the song sound "fuller and richer"
For example- when OLP recorded 4am, they used 5 guitars, but it basically was arranged for two guitars, The Rythem Guitar and Lead. All their music is arranged for two-three guitars. Well their future music will be for two guitars now
Think about BBTS, recored live in one take, so I would assume that Raine, Jamie and Mike where all playing an instrument. Or it could just be Mike and Jamie playing it. or Mike, etc:
I'm gonna listen to the song and see if I can hear a second guitar
(or Duncan as some of you call him satan) the fan club also gave away tickets and passes for their shows. It is part luck, part persistance and part insanity.
