Clapton gets the respect because he did it first! :D

Actually, I like both Eric Clapton and Kirk Hammett. I agree that Kirk overuses the wah pedal, but he's come up with some fantastic leads. My policy is just to listen to those leads which stand out, and ignore those which are just re-hashes of these. Sorry, bad English :o - meh, it's early.
