one thing that you have to realize is that in a lot of cases (dream theater being my example), the "virtuosos" aren't writing to show off. they're writing technical, advanced music because:
1) it's what they like to play.
2) they write music that challenges them as musicians, so they can keep progessing on their instruments.
3) it's just how they express themselves.
not to dog on you, but i'm getting sick of people saying that "dream theater can't write songs." then what do you call what they write? what makes a song?
just because when john petrucci it doesn't sound as "emotional" as when say, john frusciante does, that doesn't mean that john petrucci isn't feeling the same emotions as frusciante.
