I just wanted to show you that artists you don't have a crush on play fast too and you don't necessarily have to respect them for that even though I do. If your music sucks it doesn't matter how fast you play. See: Dragonforce. They're super fast at playing really lame bull****, so I don't respect them as musicians and rightly so.

It's really something that the fans do. I say one of someone's pin up guitar player's bands sucks and they sputter back "but they're so fast and good at their instruments! You've got to respect that." It's a petty way to make them feel good about winning the argument. Nope, the guys from Dragonforce still suck at guitar because you have to make your music interesting to be a good musician in my eyes. And no, the existence of good guitar players doesn't make Dragonforce's guitarists good.
