That approach is actually more condusive to speed, from a pure economical standpoint, than lifting your finger all the way off the string. It stabilizes your hand, first of all, and second, the timbre of sound produced by the fret hand mute is better for this style than pick hand muting.
Back In Black isn't a song. It's a divine call that gets channeled through five righteous dudes every thousand years or so. That's why dragons and sea monsters don't exist anymore.
