IMHO the outcome of a guitar duel depends on the audience. If they were duelling in front of Van Halen fans, Eddie would win; in front of Akka dakka fans, Angus would win etc. The fans tend to get behind their heroes, except if the hero's being a prat.

And speaking of heroes, I actually watched Heroes last night, so I sorta-kinda get that Peter Petrelli joke :D
