Classic contest XversusY.  I also saw that trailer and it rocked!  I chose The Edge because he's an icon and his guitar licks are so recognizable and establish U2 songs.  He gets my click today.

Going to go White on this one. The Edge is a great guitarist but not very technical and White has barely scratched the surface of his career.

Totally differetn music, but another sick one is Charlie Hunter. Another Bass and guitarist on one guitar. AMAZING!

You want your minute back?  That clip was only 17 seconds.  Did you watch it three times?

Yo.
I like to listen to The Edge while I am balancing on a razor,
his echos and distortion, contortion of rhythms will never bore ya,
A wizard with the axe and even more so on electronics,
He sometimes sounds like a keyboard, listen to Super Sonic...

The White plays more black and white like a cookie,
compared to The Edge maybe, but he 'aint no rookie,
If you unplugged them both don't go running to your bookie,
with your Edge bet cause broke crackers don't get any nookie.
