HERMAN LI - VALLEY OF THE DAMNED (HOT HAND LIVE) 5/5

[shimantozyziky]

press 0 at the and of the song for madness

[directorc1]

This isnt the fucking band playing live, this is herman playing to a track of the song. Trust me I know, Dragonforce's singer isn't capable of singing shit live.

[xeddier]

I love Herman's improvisations. They're quite creative. :D

[dsvdg]

Yep , the people who say they cant really play good,, just have shit in their ears , this video proves it.

[bricedelanice]

@dsvdg agree with you herman li is an excellent shreder lot of people are jealous

[TheGoDeus]

cara, ele é perfeito, ninguém chega aos pés dele

[jasonxdd]

fuck google ad



[themancdogg]

One of the most entertaining guitarist to watch. Love the hair!!

[darkshredder95]

this is one of those videos which sticks it middle finger up at all the haters of dragonforce. these guys (herman inparticular) are awesome beyond words and those who hate them are missing out on a great deal of epicness!!!

[linkin413]

does anyone think that herman's hair gets in the way when he's practicing/playing the guitar?

[SorenNoctus]

Herman Li RULEEEZZZZZ!!!!!

[TheXX07]

oh shit! LOL

[xXMeTalZXx]

herman li is very proud of himself! he thinks he is the best guitarist in the world?? DAMN! there are so many guitarist in the world that is better than him

that is my opinion

[wcpelle]

@xXMeTalZXx But thats not the point. Who wants to compare him? Or atleast i dont, there is better guitarists, but Herman is definitely one of the best! <3

[DeathStalker772]

herman writes some of their songs... i cant remember which ones tho but i saw an interview with him and se said that most of their songs are written by sam but he does write some.

he is such a good/clean/techincal player... NEVER heard sweeps as clean as this

[ACBrotherhood5]

herman li has to be in the top 5 guitar players in the world.

[xXMeTalZXx]

@ACBrotherhood5 maybe.. :P

[IntensiveTime]

He has good technique (except for his intonation, perhaps) but his songwriting skills are pretty poor, in my opinion.

[ravenwingable]

@IntensiveTime What songs has he written? I believe the majority of DragonForce's songs are written by Sam if I remember rightly.

[HeyPumpkin]

@IntensiveTime What exactly are you saying is wrong with "his" intonation?

[panchomangakan]

HERMAN FORECER XD

[RiFLeX117]

gloriosamente perfecto no se como alguien puede llegar a tocar asi ni un dios lo ubiera hecho mejor HERMAN, HERMAN, HERMAN, HERMAN,!!!!!!!

[chafinofsuburbia]

God, the tap/sweep bridge is so clean.

[airheadoo]

wow way to copy yriko‬‎ you douche bag

[munkylan]

the best of herman li

[Plaincow]

the ending solo is absolutely amazing chills everytime.

[Okta67]

herman li is amazing....

[ironlai]

herman li - the god of guitar

[maplemanpower]

I honestly dont under stand why people eat popcorn while watching dragonforce videos. dont they know that can lead to the mouse slipping and hitting the dislike button? Yeah you 7 Idiots... no more POPCORN for you!

[NICK19641963]

DRAGONFORCE FTW i wish i could be there

[partitrura]

este extraterreste de la guitarra , si que la rompe tio , como no ser incha de Hernan li , si uno esta en camino a alcanzar ese nibel e .eso si auntes no nos mirimos jajajaja cuidate men saludos cvre los vidios

[bunnyboybxb]

sieriously i cannot understand how tto dislike herman hes not best but hes awesome

[c1k4ml3kc3]

@bunnyboybxb He's best in what he does. And what he does barely a handful of people can achieve. :)

I prefer Joe Satriani to be my favorite guitarist but when it comes to brute power metal - Dragonforce. Anyone who disagree is a person who can't really understand Dragonforce nor their songs that are totally beyond epicness.

[wcpelle]

This is my favorite song <33! I like especially 6:10 - 7:31!!

[deityofanimee]

I find it hard to understand all the hate the circulates around guitar 'fans'. If someone isn't the absolute best at something they should be hated? Yes, I know some better guitarists, but then none of my favorites are the 'very best'.

From what I can tell from this video Herman Li meets the standard for a power metal guitarist so I choose to enjoy his music.

[syuaizuddeen]

great !

[animatahr]

They all play awesome as long as they're not drunk :]

[nicklassperling]

it's not his E-GEN. his E-GEN is not green it's violet.

the guitar he uses here is a Ibanez S540FM-TTS.

[PowerMetalKid]

Don't suppose anyone has a tab for the solo he does at 2:33? Been looking for the tab for ages.

[bubblessquiffy]

tell him to switch to the bridge pick up and then try to play it like that. its BS the neck pick up, for cheaters!!!

[kimkikki]

the most overrated guitar player ever born.tipical teenager cock sucker made by a videogame.yesterday eric clapton,today herman-li,what about in the future..........

[pmonstar]

this song is the best ever i like this more than cake

[psychosuey]

gotta say, the sweeping bit of the solo is actually VERY easy once you can sweep. i can do it fine, its the alternate picked runs that are the pisser!

[layzee15]

all the people who think herman li is fake, skip to 3:36 and watch in awe!!!!

[ridehonda107]

haha its amazing what a difference being sober on stage can make.

[RossGeller79]

i don't know what alle the poeple talk about, that herman can't play guitar!

this video is best proof, that he is one of the best out there, he CAN play his songs, and he is the best at it...

[TheDragonforcerocker]

If you said he can't play guitar, then y'd you say he is one of the best out there???

I agree with you that he is one of the best out there, though.

[RossGeller79]

@TheDragonforcerocker

well i never said he can'T play guitar oO

this would be the last thing i would say

[psychosuey]

@RossGeller79

They are young guys having fun with touring and living the rockstar dream.

ive seen em 3 times and each time they were tanked and amazing.. who wants to see a band play EXACTLY like on the cd?

theese guys are amazing live id recomened em tenfold

[sixthsnipe]

0 - 7:31 is just amazing his live playing is sooo good its un believable :o

[fightinglucan]

he needs a stretchy strap

[elninjacopia99]

herman li y sam totman son unos guitarristas muy locos ^^ no se por q dicn q son malos, yo q estube n un concierto de ellos y en vivo suenan bien, hrman li y sam totman son muy rapidos y tiene buena tecnica 5/5

[Dnine1]

what guitar is that?

[williamgag]

Ibanez S540 (discontinued)

[MawBTS]

I wish he played Sam's leads

[xXel3ment4lityXx]

where was this

[larryexplodeterra]

Herman Li is a perfect sound machine!

[TheEmmanuelcaca]

@larryexplodeterra

no

MICHAEL ANGELO BATIO IS A PERFECT SOUND MACHINE

[larryexplodeterra]

@TheEmmanuelcaca No offense to Michael Angelo, it's just my opinion

[MrEllinaras]

cOULD SOMEONE PLZ TELL ME WHICH IBANEZ MODEL IT IS???????

[dragonslayer609]

Go to the web page of dimarzio ;)

[maiki135]

@dragonslayer609 hmm it's a egen 18 well the blue one :D

[nicklassperling]

@maiki135 no it's a Ibanez S540FM-TTS. i have a E-gen, and it's purple/violet. not green or blue. ;)

[maiki135]

@dragonslayer609 hmm it's a egen 18 well the blue one :D but How They can still be unpopular... They add a song in guitar hero and their solo own! dude they have to switch to a better manager : l

[ChrisBrownsWifeeyy]

he plays ibanez s-series

[danielkiwoong]

@MrEllinaras i think it was s series

[airheadoo]

@MrEllinaras Ibanez s540 the one he's playing with

[MrEllinaras]

@airheadoo Do you know if ibanez still sells this model (with this colour)?

[danielkiwoong]

@MrEllinaras herman li s guitar is old one is the s series the new one is egen 18

[airheadoo]

@MrEllinaras um...I garuantee you might be able to find it on ebay but, i doubt Ibanez still sells it anymore again its an Ibanez s540

[olba12]

@MrEllinaras It´s a ibanez e-gen herman li signature prestige model

[syuaizuddeen]

@MrEllinaras EGEN-18

[impvr1]

@MrEllinaras ibanez s540fmtt

[getlostupig]

@MrEllinaras Ibanez E-Gen, I think he has his own signature model now...

[greendayfen4e]

@MrEllinaras its an s series

[dragonmaster52525]

@MrEllinaras i think its a s prestige sapphire blue. now i could be wrong.

[dragonien1]

@MrEllinaras It's probably a s1540, or a s540, or a s1670.

[dragonien1]

@MrEllinaras It'es a Ibanez S540

[BeatURkids69]

why does he always wear that weird ring on his right hand

[trp6senile]

It's his Hot Hand. It's creates the same effect as a wah pedal, only you wear it on your hand and wave your hand to make the sweeping happen. I can't explain very well, you'd be better searching for it here on youtube XD

[Forreststube]

Its weird, ether hes pretty close to perfect live, or he realy sucks, never middle wise

did a realy good job on this one though

[nhchris]

Herman Li all the way !!

[00gZa]

some of the cleanest iv seen from him, nice!

[fredvain]

this must be kinda new? from this year?

[BSPdelta09]

Actually it's from 2007 as far as i know

[allof8death]

yea that guitar model is from his 07 year.... he sounds fucking great all the time its just that sam always drinks alot so its mostly him playing bad but if he didnt drink he would be so much better. but the show wouldnt be as fun soo id rather have fun :D

[ChrisBrownsWifeeyy]

ur wrong :)

[allof8death]

Dont get me wrong I LOVE sam hes my fav guitarist EVER and ive seen him play REALLY good at my live but im just saying that their are parts where he does mess up really bad but thats cuz hes having to much fun and plays drunk but hes still awesome in my book. :)

[Trooperx0]

They both get drunk and sound like shit on stage....

If they both stopped. They'd sound way better

[joeylodes]

that excuse is so old

[Trooperx0]

It's not an excuse. More of a fact.....

[darthhull85]

catch me up. what is some n00b trying to say that makes herman ri soo good.

he should listen to some joe satriani, paul ggilbert, yngwie malmsteen and michael angelo batio

[joeylodes]

the excuse that because they're always drunk on stage is why they're sloppy as shit. i have no respect for that nor the people who accept that from an "artist" (term used very loosely in this case)

trust me ... if a "professional" has to be inebriated in order to perform his "profession" then obviously he isn't a professional to begin with. People are spending their money to see a performance and its BEYOND disrespectful to these fans to perform in that state. its a complete joke

[lfcbenitez123]

They dont perform drunk anymore though.

[TheHAMMERFALL93]

Valley Of The Damned and Sonic Firestorm is Dragonforce best albums

[Freak791]

He is my idol!!

[guitarfanatic300]

mine to.

[nhchris]

Mine too. He fucking rocks !!!

[NikkiSixx1990]

Herman Li is a god!!!

[DavidLlewelynJones]

Fcking damn, he's crazy! :-D

[Erthshaker2]

epic........ (:D)

[londee]

Herman Li Rocks!!!!

[vagin1]

where is this this lloks like a cheap gig

[v5vendeta]

it was at some guitar clinic

[jaedog321]

seriously... herman li practiced secretly or something... or he's just good....

[s3ntrax]

i saw dragonforce live last year, they were aaamazzinggg especialy herman li

[RandomlineProduction]

He's just good.

[kyle369963elyk]

i honestly think people who say he sucks live havnt seen them live but just seen a video on youtube of them that has poor quality and there dumb enough to think thats how they actually sound when live its sounds way better people are so fucking dumb

[ShredLi01]

out all dragonforce songs and albums, i say valley of the damned was like the golden years for dragonforce...i mean the drummer should like do some other beats then just the same one, the guitars need more feel, not just shredding here and there all the time...i mean the shredding is mad it just it get's old and stuff

[graage]

too epic to be just great

[DeadEmu]

Show this video to every fucktard who thinks herman cant play

[dragonslayer609]

haha,it,s a good idea.

[iamthe7thwalrus]

this is probably in malaysia huh

[hellishedboy]

herman really turns the mean of playing guitar to a next level

[Mike0344]

holding him back?? sucks dick?? he writes the songs you fucking retard!

[dforceman]

He only writes a few. Sam writes the majority of their songs.

[Mike0344]

thats what i meant, some guy said sam was holding herman back but didnt relize it was sam who writes them, sorry, i always type the wrong thing and make it sound different 2 what i meant =D

[XshakeRock]

Chorus chords are plagied on canon ...

[ARodYankFan]

Epic...just epic...that outro is my 2nd favorite outro of any metal song I've ever heard...only losing to Floods by Pantera but other than that, Herman Li is a beast and even pulling this off with a mere Marshall Half Stack.

[pyknqwg7]

man, he got really good live!!!

[HurricaneTBag]

How old is this video?

[allof8death]

about 2 years old

[Boliviolino]

O.o OO o,o O,O!!!!!

[jani14jani]

Those trolls only say that Herman sucks becouse they feel that Herman is treath for their favourite guitarist (like to malmsteen) they know that on some day herman will be more known and respected than malmsteen

[lssjbroly123]

ya the day any one of you trolls does what he does then you can say he sucks

till them you can all shut up cuz hes great

[90boyz]

live at MALAYSIA...herman li not a bad guitarist but he a ULTIMET GUITARIS IN WORLD!!!

[DespairsRox]

after like every note he changes the pickup switch...goddam

[decamatus]

he's ONE of the greatest, but he's no Malmnsteen, plus give him some credit, he come a long way with live performances

[wildguitaristf5]

i don't care if he is ur best guitarist or not....but he is one of my best guitarist...got it mate now???

[BaseballGod710]

FTW This crazy asian is the best....Malmsteen is fast but hermans clean, and fast

[wildguitaristf5]

BTW Im being sarcastic.

[Tannersvan]

their Amps are screwing up cuz they play uber fast

[wildguitaristf5]

herman li is the best .....people hate him coz of jealous...

[ArchAngel224]

what the hell is wrong with you people. Herman can play 20 times better then you can and you say he sucks. If you dont like him or the band dont watch the fucking video. Oh yeah the video is amazing by the way.

[Mastermagiciangeorge]

this is a sample of how they are live now! but imagine the whole band doing thsi great... GO SEE THEIR SHOW NOW

[Ibanezaxeman1992]

This is why Herman is my hero!!!!! HE ROCKS!!!

[bowo89]

i have the same guitar, same finish

[BaseballGod710]

no you dont thats probably a custom one of a kind guitar fag

[bowo89]

no dude, that's Ibanez S540, mine is S1540, the finish is called "emerald burst"

[BaseballGod710]
