Not all shred sounds bad. But there are many shredders that play a same scale or not even know what they're doing but play fast and they give shred a bad name. Shred is often though of a only a way to "show of" but there are some musicians that are actually able to combine shred with melody and it's mindblowing. Litsen to "Cliffs of dover" by Eric Johnson for an amazing example of this melodical shredding. It's a song that's everyone i've showed it to likes (even non musicians) and it's also one of the hardest shredding (and non shredding) pieces i've seen.
