Fuck what people say, this is proof of how clean he plays live, and how he can shred, I dont know why he has more hatters than most guitarists, maybe its racism.
He's awfull. "ok... he plays fast"... but dont sound like anything.
His sound is awfull. i respect him, when he are at his studio 'cause outside of the studio he can do nothing...
and also his guitar sounds NOTHING like the record... "okay (again), impossible do the same as the record...." okay.. but do something that sound like... god damn.
Now... some crazed fans will tell that i'm crazy... and i say that i play guitar for 6 years and i tell you: Yngwie Malmsteen own this guy easly... -.-
@HaykenBR I won't say that however each environment is different in sound AND Herman is using a different guitar than the one he used in the studio and believe me the guy is not awful he is amazing live despite a maybe off key night. Workshop is known for awful sounding btw.
@TheExtremeCore Okay... Like i said, i respect him as a guitarrist... but i'm not a crazy fan like some people that don't know how to judge a guitarrist says that he is the best guitarrist in the world... So I just show you a guy who plays well in both studio and on stage, like Malmsteen...
@HaykenBR Because 98% of the people who reply on Utube are little kids who don't know anything lol, But judging off a few videos on here is not an accurate judgement of the man's skills
@HaykenBR The reason parts of the solo may not sound like the record is guitarists often improvise parts of their solo's live. People like Slash and Kirk Hammett do this a lot, it's normal for people to change parts of their solo's live).
And Yngwie is a more technical guitarist and plays cleaner live, but on the two Yngwie albums I have got I find that many of his solo's (Like Herman's, some DragonForce solo's often sound similar at times too) sound repetitive.
@HaykenBR also, as for the sound is awful bit, you've been playing six years, let's see you master this solo and play it like he does on the album in a live environment.
He isn't really amazing live. He's pretty solid, but until you've seen what Yngwie can do live. Or Jason Becker could do live, or Vinnie Moore... u know? Its pretty sloppy I guess imo. He's a good player no doubt, but nothing amazing imo. Just my opinion.
@skezza Yeah but Yngwie isnt the best either. Depends how you define the word " amazing " . Herman plays very very well live and puts on a show at the same time , thats amazing to me. Yngwie plays good live , as for putting on a show ? mehh.
@lfcbenitez123 I didn't say Yngwie was the best. I wouldn't say Herman plays well live. Too many times I've viewed videos where he has struggled to play half the solos correctly. Yngwie plays fantastic live. Rarely makes a mistake. I'd say neither of them put on a great show, but when I go to see a band, I want to hear the music, not see them throw their guitars around their necks. Yngwie is a criminal as much as any for doing that, but it just bores the shit outta me.
@lfcbenitez123 Come on, herman cannot play still through the fire and flames solo.
They speed up the solos in the studio and when they have to play live....oops no speed up machine availble. Herman has improved a lot though, but what about totman. He isn't able to play shit live.He is one of the worst guitarists i have ever heard and he has signature guitar!!!!
@MrEllinaras oh just shut up with these stupid speed up theories. Its a pile of shit and people who think it know fuck all. Ive seen the band live , in REAL LIFE , and they are fucking phenomanal , in fact thats an understatement. Not only has herman and sam improved but they have far exceeded alot of metal guitarists. Good day sir.
@Metallaro51 he does the pacman sound effect like in the song before the solos
