Shredding can get really boring. You can only play so fast and still have some melody to your playing. And you can only marvel at the speed for so long. At some point you begin to think: "I get it, you can shred, now is there anything else you can do?" There's a paul gilbert video entitled "two types of guitarists". He talks about guitarists who really blend with the rest of the band and really have a flow and groove to their playing. And then there's the shredders, who kind of clash with the rest of the band and just don't have that groove that the other kind of guitarist has. He says he prefer the guitarists with a some groove rather than the constant shredding. Which is cool to hear from such a master who can really shred.
