^I was going to use Dragonforce as an example as well but it seemed obvious. I can respect a musician a lot more if he can play classically and technically, finger tapping etc. Playing fast used to be something I thought was talent until I realized that all it is is just being able to move your hands quicker to play 3 of the same notes. I won't dispute the fact that some musicians who play fast are talented, but if it's all they can do, they fall way further down on my list.
John Petrucci can play fast and can play some of the most amazing technical riffs I've ever heard, and for that, I respect him immensely.
