Fast music should be played fast. Slow music should be played slow. Loud
music should be played loud. Soft music should be played soft. You wouldn't
play fusion at 70 bpm, you wouldn't play downtempo at 220 bpm. Some
Beethoven should be played really loud. Some Bach can be played quietly.
It's the song that's important. As a musician, you have to make the song
sound good.
Playing fast is a tool in your tool box. A tool you need, sometimes, to play
music the way the composer meant the music to be played. The song dictates
the technique but you have to have the technique or you're SOL.
Doesn't hurt to know the melody of the song you're playing either.
