As a musican I respect all music. Even those styles I can not stand listening to. With the exception of death metal. That is pure garbage that takes no skill what so ever to play. Always makes me laugh when I start discussing music with some kid who thinks death metal i so difficult to play

Death metal sucks...its easy..punk is decent to listen to but it is always childs play...most rock n roll in general is fairly easy to play. that is why when you go to a bar most bands play the same tired easy songs . stuff like ac/dc stone temple pilots, nirvana..etc..etc and why you never find bands that play styx,yes,ELO,genesis,REO,RUSH,etc,,etc. I am not a big fan of those guys either but their music is complex and not easy by any stretch of the imagination to play.

Does it not take some form of skill to play a guitar nevermind playing at speed?. Speed metal guitarists like Dave Mustaine could teach most pop/ rock bands how to play a guitar at any pace. You also dont have to be a kid to listen to death metal, im 36 and enjoy a good old Napalm Death or a Brutal Truth cd some days. I would also say that bands of yours such as Motley Crue and Whitesnake dont have the most challenging guitar riffs either.
