Why would anyone be jealous of shredders? Bands like Korn and Linkin Park have made millions by playing one-finger power chords. Why would anyone want to go through all the trouble of learning to shred when they could just slap together a rhythm, a few chords, and some ridiculous vocals and be handed fame and fortune by record execs?

I think you're just a little out of touch, Vlahos. Come and enjoy the glorious ignorance and mediocrity of nu-metal with me. :cool:
