I shred when I need to shred and I slow down when the song calls for it. I don't really consider myself to be the one to decide what I do next in music. I consider it the song's decision and what it tells me to do, per se. So if I'm writing something and shredding just seems absurd then I'll look elsewhere. But I don't consider shredding to have no feeling, because sometimes it's needed. And when it's needed there's nothing else that can be done. So call me a shredder if you like. I'm not too worried about it to be honest.
