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".

Oh, I agree that it is easy to just play fifth chords and impress people who don't play guitar, I just wanted to point out that learning rock/metal doesn't necessarily mean that's all you want to do.

I've always been of the opinion that music doesn't need to be technically impressive. Remember when you were a kid, and you would hear music, but you didn't know what the instruments were or hard it would be to play a certain piece? You just enjoyed music for the music. Not because it was difficult to play.

I guess I sort of enjoy music on two different levels, I do really enjoy just listening to music that has a good melody, catchy tune etc. And that's really the important part, because if it doesn't actually sound good then I'm not really interested in the technical side of it
But if it
does sound good, I'm the type of person that really likes to get into it and that's when I quite enjoy finding all the technical bits of it, like interesting rhythms, style changes, etc. The interesting thing though, is how a lot of really cool parts of songs that are also very catchy are not actually that hard to play.
