I'm only posting it because besides the fact that it was true, Duane said it,

quote:

Once, during a radio interview, a listener called in and asked if Duane was going to continue playing twin guitar leads. "That's Dickey Betts playing that other guitar, that's not me," Duane responded. "He is just as bad as there is, man. He can smoke the guitar, man. See, I'm the famous one, man; he's the good player."
