F*uckin' ay, man. I mean, I like some fast playing in metal, like Hammet, but i like what sounds good more. Hammet can sound good while fast, don't get me wrong, but i'm talking about like songwriting - good combinations of notes, melodies, and rhythms and whatnot. I think lots of guitarists today just say "well, i'll play as fast as i can and as loud as i can and it'll sound good." Well...no it won't f**k-nut. Generally, fast and loud is not very good, IMO.
