If any of you think that being a guitarist is about being the "best", you really don't understand. Being a guitarist is about making music, plain and simple. If your music is slightly more difficult to play, then that's just your style. But it's still, at it's core, about making the music. ( Unless you are Malmsteen....arrogant jerk-off)
Even though I hate Dragonforce's "new" fanbase with all my heart (most of the fans they gained after Guitar Hero III came out), I must say... this does take me back to a time when I could still enjoy their albums without having some ignorant punk-ass kid telling me how Herman Li is the greatest guitarist of all time...
No, most of the ones who hate them either think that all their songs sound alike, that the singer's high voice is terrible and annoying, that they can't play their own stuff live, or that their music sounds like video game music. Either way, it is irrelevant that you ask me this, because I never said anything about people who hate Dragonforce.
i have actually, twice, yeah they're shit live, i agree, in the studio, they're very clever, im just sick of haters who dont just appreciate it for what it is, im also sick of noobs talking like they 'can do better' when they cant, Herman Li is now known, he's famous, making good dollars, good on him, be a little more positive or shut the fuck up and do some research before you open your mouth, ignorant turd.
well i also suppose they can't bring all their gear and stuff to the venue, but it's odd that studio version is perfect and live is messy. i did enough research i'm just criticizing that they're live just sucks.
yeah im saying they play good NOW.last time i checked 08 was last year.see now is they key word it means in the historical present; at this point in the narration of a series of past events.
@negrois just cause you were there doesnt mean you dont know what clean playing is lol. You probably think they are good in this video when in fact they arent playing the songs perfectly lol
Its really embarassing when you cant even play the songs YOU yourself compossed :P
Paul Gilbert, Galneryus, Takayoshi Ohmura and may more are examples of real guitarists. Dragonforce are partying lazy wanabe's who spend years in a studio making albums they cant play on stage perfectly lol.
@negrois Listen, the songs they played here were CLEAN on the album.. here it is NOT clean its very choppy.. just because you hear notes and it sounds alright doesnt mean clean.
Honestly listen to fury of the storm then listen to this there is a difference.. but its ok. XD we all have different standards of clean playing. For me clean is playing the song as it was composed without mistake (Like Galneryus live) and some like dragonforce live with scratachy sloppy playing :P btw i do play =)
I definitely agree with you by the way. Dragonforce is my favorite band, but i would never say that Herman Li is the best guitarist. I mean I have only been playing for a year and I can play almost all of Through the Fire and Flames on guitar(not any good). He writes good songs but he is not a virtuoso, like Malmsteen or Paul Gilbert.
Yeah, all I was really saying is that some of Dragonforce's fans can really be a pain in the ass. If you got into their music because you liked their album(s), then yes, you're in the "old" fanbase. If you got into their music because you thought it sounded too complicated to even exist, then I'm afraid the answer is no.
But yes there are definitely many (MANY) better musicians than Herman Li...
