As I said, correcting myself, it's not that there IS none there but just that I don't hear it. It's not that I don't enjoy it; it is not there, for me, to hear to enjoy or dislike.

You tell me where the melody is here


To me, that's just noise.
I know; I'm a girl. But that's how I view music like this.
All the notes coming out of the guitar in sequence constitute melody. I understand you not liking it or finding it abrasive, but I don't get how you can say you don't hear it. Surely you hear that there is a guitar being played in that song, right? The song even has a minute-long bridge from about 1:10 to 2:10 where they completely focus on melody.
