After 16 years of playing, plus a minor in Percussion in college ... it is NOT hard. So there. Just face it, some are more skilled than you are -- it happens.

5/8, 5/7, 5/4, no offense, but learn to count.
Try playing 29/8 Bacchanal.
Nice google search for the 29/8 ... so tell me, what value is a quarter note given in 29/8? Of course, 29/4 was only used in "Sultry" by Kyle Gann, the next used of a "29" value was 29/16 in "Death Blooms" by Mudvayne. Bacchanal was never really noticeably played in 29/8, so quit being uppidity -- it is not flattering.

I refuse to believe you can learn Classical Gas and Master Of Puppets, playing guitar 5 days. After 3 years of playing guitar I still struggled playing, only after 6 years of playing guitar can I say I can play Classical Gas and still not to the standard of Clapton. Master of Puppets is relativly simple, but you cannot pick up that kind of speed picking in 5 days either
Of course not Edge, he is lying. Hence why I dropped the challenge on May 20th which said:
