Reminds me of a postdoc back at uni (Axel Tidemann) who was working on an AI-drummer. I'm not a musician, but he explained to me it was easy to make a drum-program play a beat perfectly. But it wouldn't sound good. It would have no feel, no personality, no "signature style". Making it play imperfectly, but in a believable way, was the challenge. (I think it even simulated the way a drummer moves, aka not just using a pre-recorded sample of someone hitting a drum)

Same here, if you were to play the notes based on the scores, it wouldn't feel like the Metallica song, even though you played it "correct".
