I think my problem with the idea of loving a band for being technically good is the fact that it turns music into a sport. The faster, the more accurate or skillful the better. This really isn't what music is about.


Alot of those people that I know that think like that are really arrogant, and applying statistics to music, making it about speed, makes it so they can feel like all of their opinions are always right. Like, if 'speed', or another statistic like factor was how I judged music, I could confidantly say that Yngwie is better than Led Zeppelin, because what Im using to compare the two isn't even a matter of opinion anymore. I hate these people.
