Huh, thats weird.
I don't play guitar so I never would have thought of that.

Master of Puppets by Metallica

It's played that way because the song calls for a hammer-on then pull-off, hammer-on then pull-off, etc. etc.

Carol of the bells by August Burns Red

Most likely, but what are the songs you are referring to?

I noticed it when they played 'you shook me all night long' live, and I think he did it on TNT also.

Ok don't listen to anything he is saying. You mean him literally skipping? No that has NOTHING to do with how it's played or how it sounds.
I play guitar, no matter how the hell you are standing it's going to sound the same.
