A couple of years ago I watched the wind peel off metal roofing that had been nailed through the shingles and into the sheeting. It was a wicked sight to see those sheets curl up and fly away like lethal weapons. Now, I know they were nailed and not screwed, so screws might have held, but if the sheeting is beginning to rot the screws won't hold either. If you put down 2x4's first the chances of losing the metal are much less, and the 2X4's do help make a crooked roof look flatter. Removing the old roofing might be necessary if there are three or four old layers and the roof isn't strong enough to hold the extra weight of another layer. The old shingles do act as an insulator that will keep the new steel from dripping condensation if the sheeting is spaced apart for wooden shingles.Jim
