I play electric guitar, and while I am into my rock and metal I also do a fair bit of jazz, classical, reggae, etc, and I know from experience that some of the metal is actually just as technical and challenging as the other types of music. So don't knock it before you try it!
I have tried it, I found it easy, I didn't enjoy it, and I have knocked it. All I am saying is that it is easy to become popular with your friends and other people you know who don't know how to play by being able to play fifth chords. I never said "all rock guitarists are shit".

Regarding Leto's comment, I understand that the fifth chord is most often referred to as the "power chord", but, for reasons unknown, and as pretentious as it may be, I much prefer to use the term "fifth chord".
