I'd much rather listen to some fun dance music than to Buckethead, or some passionate four chord protest to an 8 minute rock opera.
The almighty Keith Richards said it best: "five strings, three notes, two fingers and one arsehole to play it", in my interpretation - there's no need of useless shredding which takes so much practicing and exercising in order to make a good song.

And by the way, I totally liked that Muse song.
