Most of the metal world is like the WWF of music, all about acting as hardcore,menacing, and dark as possible, it's what puts me off of most metal. That said, there are a several awesome metal bands out there, but for the most part they are the ones who forgo the "Look at how Brvtal I am" posturing in exchange for something more reel and thoughtful.

Music is art and like all art it's subjective- what you think is bad others may find to be genius, you may not like technical guitar playing but that doesn't invalidate the style.

No, playing like that takes a LOT of practice, knowledge, and dedication. If you think that what these musicians play is just random notes you're horribly off base and need to take a closer look.
