Stephen Colbert's Rock and Awe: Countdown to Guitarmageddon was the official title given to the shred off between Stephen Colbert and hyper-literate coattail-riding indie rock band The Decemberists. The title narrowly beat out other contenders like Stephen Colbert's i-Rock War: Cut and Strum and Stephen Colbert's The Axeman Cometh: Mourning Becomes Electric.
