wow, now you're just being a jerk. they aren't high school drop-outs, and they are worshiped by many. Just search John Petrucci, Mike Portnoy, Jordan Ruddess, and Tony Levin. They have record contracts, and definately have more skill than 99.999999999999% of the population. Random shredding obviously isn't what they're doing, your brain just can't comprehend that many notes. There are obvious patterns in the music that you just can't seem to find, and as a result condescend it because it makes you feel better. Good job
