Herman Li - Best live guitarist

[NNgmbh]

li ist the best ;)

[terrorblade34]

Synyster Gates is better

[neo4reals]

This sounds like shit

[Nyhus1rn]

The thing about this is, when you really get to see Dragonforce and Herman Li live you get starstrucked cause they are that good live now. Not only do they play flawlessly, but they also gives out alot of energy to the crowd, hell one of my best live concerts ever! and I've been to Kamelot, Disturbed and Papa Roach before too, which all are really good bands, but none of them can stand up to DF when it comes to stage preformance!

[joep45621]

Oh people, stop saying who's the best guitarist! There is nobody that is the greatest guitarist as there are many different genres of which guitarists play. You cannot compare Herman to Randy Rhoads as they both play(ed) different types of music and everyone is going to say that the person who influenced them is the greatest guitarist to have ever lived!

And it's pretty epic how there is a Paul Gray flag behind Herman! R.I.P Paul

[bricedelanice]

@joep45621 completely agree with you :)

[TheBestGuitarSoloEVR]

this dude has the stage prescence of wet cardboard slapping against MY NUTSACK

[JaoquinQ]

Why. Must. Everyone. Constantly. Compare. Guitarists. To. Each. Other. If you like it great, if not, no harm done. Now leave it alone. Fuck.

[darkshredder95]

this is fucking awesome. you lot should be taking notes from this guy. very few can match his technicality, and even less can match his speed!

[A7XcoverA7X]

John Petrucci own im, Steve Vai is a Machine, Synyster Gate pretty versatile player live and has alot of technic.

Herman Li? No fuckign soul and rythm and can't even play Lead part live. I won't he is the worst live but CLOSE!

[maniacgamer9]

Guitarists sucking or being the best or worst is only opinion. You're an idiot if you think one person is the best at guitar. You make that statement out of ignorance, for there could be people sitting in their bedrooms that are a million times better than any well-known guitarist in any band. When you say "Oh they are the best," it's really just your own personal favorite. Note: Your opinion doesn't make it fact.

[McFro95]

It's not about who can 'shred' the fastest, it's about who can make the most

bad-ass song that actually means something. JIMI HENDRIX FTW!!!

[vakrumper18]

there is no other better than the buckethead

[vakrumper18]

FUCK DRAGONFORCE

[kinobiheart]

Best live guitarist is Buckethead.

[skaanstn83]

He just MOLESTED that guitar.

[Undertaker16ando]

Herman li wouldnt make a mistake to a song he wrote

[sunnyjim98]

i hear mistakes all the way thru that, i stopped halfway cos i couldnt be bothered listening to that poppy shit!!! he is raw dung compared to 90% of other famous shredders! you are obviously deaf cos the mistake counter was still 0 when i stopped this shit

[jani14jani]

@sunnyjim98

if you have read my comments, I Malmsteen, Batio,Rusty are my Favourites now

[666TMF]

you just proved that he really makes loads of mistakes live...

[airheadoo]

copied

[JAAmongo]

Herman fails...Tosin abasi. MUCH BETTER ;D

[Tori965]

Best live guitarrist = Michael Angelo Batio

[jani14jani]

@Tori965 Ye i know i have forgot to change name of this vid Michaels stuff is amazing i love it, but Rusty Cooley is pretty badass too

[Tori965]

@jani14jani Rusty kicks asses. Have you seen him nubbing Buckethead style?

[jani14jani]

@Tori965 ye i have sawn that vid, You should check out Rustys under the influence , if you havent

[red18warrior]

@Tori965 Herman Li will replace him i think.. lol

[Tori965]

@red18warrior This comment was so old, I don't even like Michael Angelo Batio anymore.

[Kebzicum]

lyrics are sooo gay haha

[MrGod99]

they are compared some guitarrists and yes they are good in HIS style

slash is hard rock

satriani is instrumental rock

dimebag trash or heavy

and then u can't compare this guys with herman li because hi is extreme power metal

its completely diferent dont be stupids HERMAN LI is the best guitarrist in the extreme power metal they invented this genre

[m4l531]

best live guitarrist my balls before herman :)

[gibsonSG011]

ur mistake counter missed a few haha ps fuck all the herman haters and lovers hes just an average guitarist stop the obsessing and the hateing

[swootwapa]

who cares how fast you can play if it sounds like shit -.--

[Ogumomaru]

someone agrees with me :O

[ConKerDT]

stfu plz :D

[sovietchimp]

I don't like Dragonforce but you gotta admit that he gets a lot of bad slack...

[ConKerDT]

herman li really is very suck he only is studio :l...0 points LOL

[123popsi]

Herman li is not world best guitarist

[sharkhead7854]

P.S.

"OVER 9000!!!!!!!!!!"

[sharkhead7854]

Heheh, I keep telling people that they're too hard on Herman Li. Even with the mistakes he makes in some of his live shows, he's a hell of a lot better than most of his haters.

[MestreMick]

are you stupid? he is the best guitarist live?No way. You should listen to Slash, Joe Perry,Zakk Wylde, Randy Rhoads,Jimi Hendrix,Alexi Laiho,Page,Joe Satiriani,Steve Vai,Petrucci...I prefer one their note than herman's one milion. Of course there are many better guitarist than herman that i don't include because the list will be too long. Speed isn't everything in plaing guitar so shut the fuck up that herman is the best, he is only good

[jani14jani]

@MestreMick

Well if you like Steve vai you should know that he have said " There isint THE BEST GUITATRIST, There are only guitarists with their own unique styles and everyone has their oppinion" and Herman is my favourite. I like Vai too, i like specially his song "For the love of god" i like Satriani too "satch boogie" is heck of a song.

[MestreMick]

I respect that you like Herman, but we shouldn't talk about tastes, everyone have different. I think herman is only fast but this quickness are sometimes(often) without sense but it's only my opinion. Vai has right: there isn't the best guitarist. I only tell you some awesome guitar players and i think herman isn't good enough to be in my list. greetings

[00fatmat00]

dimebag, scott ian, iommi, tipton, downing, mustaine, king ,jimmy page, hammet, hetfield, john christ, tommy victor, etc.

[MegashadX]

Slash sucks compared to Herman, he's good with blues-esque riffs, but Herman destroys him when it comes to technique. And Page and Hendrix are from a totally different era of music, you can't compare them to a metal guitarist.

...however, you're right about practically every other player you mentioned. So yeah.

[WLaChitarra]

Steve Vai has feeling that herman li havent....

Herman li cant play guitar...

[Stuka1494]

sorry, but the best guitarists ever are the old Blues guitarists of the 60s and 70s (Hendrix, Page, Clapton e.t.c)

[whwalnuts]

dragon force more like studioforce.  they suck dick.

[Malik82691]

Herman is the best!!!

[xxCrackZillaxx]

John Petrucci > Herman Li Enough said

[Jdog8998]

Herman li is nothing comapared to Vai,Putrucci, Loureiro, or any of those other guys. Hes a joke. His shreding isnt even that complex, he just plays fast. THATS IT. As some one whos been playing for about 7 years he has nothing special. All it took was a little practice and he sounds fine, But gess what, he doesnt improvise or any of that. Its all just rehearsal, that proves he has nothing at all other than a fast wrist. (I will give him that). He us a souless player only in it for the fame.

[xxCrackZillaxx]

Yay someone agrees with me =D

[Jdog8998]

LOL, Its great to see some one who knows the truth ; )

[CodeLyoko22]

lol you're just JEALOUS.

[Teddy944]

Because Vai and Petrucci are just gods, but herman isn't the best yes, but he has just so freakin good tapping skills, and shredding (sweeping, speed...) he's a very good guitarist for power metal in my opinion.

Not complex? So... do that...

Petrucci can't taps like him when you see his tapping, but petrucci is better in composition, 7 strings, and so..., vai is just the perfect god...

But herman is better than Laiho from shit of bodom who is overated and bodom sucks live.

[Jdog8998]

Yeah but herman doesnt improvise AT ALL. Any body can play if they practice, it takes real skill to just let it flow, He never does that. And thats why I say hes a joke. Hes good of he practices. And I have prof, in there early years they were awful. TA DA!!

[Jdog8998]

After a few years they can play fine.Herman is an OKAY power metal guitarist. Nothing specail.There are plenty of power metal guitarists that are better than him.His tapping skills are ok. Any body can tap with practice. AND THATS EXACLT YMY POINT. Hes skills come from rehersal. I play in a band. Dragon Force is mostly flash. Betcha my fucking that they cant jam. Bands with skill can jam. I betcha they cant jam. And thats where my point lies. I still dont like there music.

[Teddy944]

You can dislike there music but he's not bad, he's really good.

I know some guitarists (like Alexi Laiho of COB) who can't play always his own songs live... and his sound has a dirty distortion it's extremely horrible.... and all the people are like OH MA GAD ALEXI ROCKSSSS .......

[jani14jani]

ye i think that he is overated now i checkd facts. But Dragonforce is best and i think that Herman and Sam are the best guitarists

[antillon56]

then upload urself playing and see if ur better then him

[Jdog8998]

Im not saying I am. IM SAYING EVERYONE ELSE IS.

[Divigen]

@antillon56

so you have to be better than him to say he sucks?

lol

[jani14jani]

@Divigen

If you wana make your point clear then YEA but after couple months of listening to Malmsteen and Batio i realized that he is only avarege as a shredding guitarist,

[xXDandZXx]

i love his wireless hot hand its soo cool

[GLASSB182]

HOLY SHT ididn't see that coming 0:30

[shiba2nv]

i feel really bad for him.

i really do.

he has worked so hard to get to where hes at. hes a fuckn champ for sticking in there while faggots hate on him. i dont understand how ppl can call him a fake

[jani14jani]

Well he has many fatefull fans like me, who stand up to defend him!

Herman Li is a god!

[ANTTU24]

and me! :)  but yeah. too many haters

[ZellerMain]

its not that hard. i did a cover of this song

[jani14jani]

Trought the fire and the flames is one of th easyest Dragonforce songs to play

[ZellerMain]

nah heroes of our time is the easiest decent song they got. and ttfaf is not easy, but its not like impossible, just takes practice

[youngandinsane]

dude,he HAS TO play this without mistake,it's his own song for christ sake !

[MawBTS]

Who cares if he biffs a string here and there. DragonForce songs are really hard. If he can even play it at 99% that's good enough for me

[FiyahLiger]

Best live guitarist= Steve Vai

[jani14jani]

Well i think that you are kind of right.

He is hermans idol.

[jani14jani]

and greatest inspiration on guitar

[FiyahLiger]

I think herman li is an awesome showman no doubt, I will never take anything away from him, I liked his show alot and would gladly go see DF again live because they are waaay better then all the dumbasses online say, but steve vai not only is a great showman but his precision on the instrument is beyond compare lol unless you say petrucci but he lacks stage presence

[allof8death]

no hell no hes soo boring

[razorslice17]

Steve Vai is also my favorite guitarist period.

[XianXiuHong]

Is this at Bentley's Music in Malaysia?

[ojiope]

YA,,,

[Asakurafan]

lol why's he wearing his hot hand?

did he do heros of our time after this?

[b0b1919]

Herman Li could play it faster

[phooploid]

you must be a real fanboy to see zero mistakes there.

He missed a lot in the mini solos and a few licks.

He is a lot better than when i saw him live though. He might be able to play the song perfectly someday.

He's simply not good enough (yet).

[jani14jani]

ye i am a real fanboy, have been for 5 years (I HAVE BEEN Dragonforce fan BEFORE Guitar hero) when my friend played me Dragonforces song "dispicless of babylon" since that moment i have beeen a loyal fan. I have always defened my oppinion that Dragonforce is the best band ever, once i almost gt my ass kicked becouse of it. No one can change my oppinion about Dragonforce. Btw i am going to see Dragonforce live in 1 month. :D

[TRIVIUM94lAKEY]

That was awesome but there must have been atleast one mistake i know i saw some awesome that was amazing tho

[yamiimax]

yeah its a nice song but there are better i like more the albums before this song Valley of the Damned and Sonic Firestorm too bad i dont get this album Inhuman Rampage is nice too but i dont like there new one the first 2 album i like almost every song but Inhuman Rampage and the new album is ok too i like 5 songs and 3 of them are ok Heroes of our time is the best song on the new one

[yamiimax]

"but i dont like there new one" sry i realised that the new one is ok too like i said later than

[kinginsomnia]

wer the hell are the keyboard parts?

[greatgavin0]

What are you talking about, 0 mistakes? He played several parts out of tune from the recording.

[immarcus]

He also missed loads of the licks and mini solos out which are on the recording

[jani14jani]

Herman here plays his part of the song some licks and mini solos belong to sams part

[greatgavin0]

Well actually not out of tune, but rather in a different key (to be more specific)

[jani14jani]

i only Uploaded this video to show Those who think that Herman cant play his songs that Herman can do it EASLY

[drawnacrol]

Well actually Sam is the one who writes 90%+ of the music and has to learn both the harmony and lead guitar parts before teaching them to herman

Awesome video by the way,I was wondering if anyone got any videos of herman's guitar clinic and the fact that people now herman is an amazing guitar player

[ladiesman735]

nice vid this guy is a beast live.

[PowerMetalBeast]

The man is a god. O_O \m/

[jani14jani]

Don't stop reading this just because u just now realized this is a forward :)

2. Make a wish

3.Close your hand (fist)

4. Hold your hand at heart for 5 seconds

5. Send this to 3 more videos

6. Tommorrow will be the best day ever

it actually worked

Money- you will find a wad of $200 in cash

Love- Your crush or lover will kiss you or ask you out

[dredroot]

solo sounds retarded

[jani14jani]

you are retarded!

[xTiLkx]

Nice comeback.

[benmoonrocks]

sam sucks herman rocks

[Snakeof34]

You just can't say that, Sam is also a very good guitar player, and If you didn't know about that I remind you that he wrote EVERY Dragonforce's song (tabs and lyrics). He also have a hand problem due to the fact that he played too much video games

[benmoonrocks]

well I didn't know that

But at least he shouldn't be drunk all the time

[Snakeof34]

It's a lifestyle...

[lightyagarmi]

sam's actually way better than herman....

[benmoonrocks]

not even close

[jani14jani]

hey 12 year old brat who like's linkin park go grow and come back when you are 15 at least or when you have brains.

[lightyagarmi]

hahha your actually someone whos lame enought to spend over a thousand hour listening to one song....to me that sounds like a 5 year old listening to the oldmac donald song over and over again and not accept there are anything better....

[benmoonrocks]

Dude do u stalk me :S and no I'm not 12 anymore lol

And what if I like linkin park? Anything wring with that...? And it's a fact, Herman has wayy more spirit playing guitar while Sam... Sam just playes cod 24/7 and is alcoholic

[jani14jani]

at least he can handle the booze and he is not paris hilton and she is an awesome example of person who cant handle booze

[allocava]

lol 0 mistakes??? wtf i think you forgot a 1 and three 0 before

[DeadDeerMan]

LMFAO at all the annotations, that mAde my night, lol.

[XDisintegrationX]

ZOMG YOU GUYS LISTENED TO DRAGONFORCE BEFORE GUITAR HERO? NO WAY!!! THEY EXISTED BEFORE GH!!!?>!?!?

douche bags. kill yourselves. or die of cancer.

[jani14jani]

i fucking know that Dragonwas formed on 1999 and they released valley of the damned on 2003 and dispicles of babylon was my 1st song i had heard on Dragonforce and that song hocked me

[Zatumi]

Dude respect! I also started listening to dragonforce way before guitar hero \,,/

[Decorayahh]

fuckin awesome. Respect Herman !

[sephsnake]

I loved it! One more thing that proves that DragonForce rock live :D

[shaneboi1235]

great its a shame tha t only herman dose things like it would be good if sam and herman done it to gether

[jani14jani]

And i think that sam dont do things becouse he wants to party more and Herman is much more inrested and loves guitar playing and enjoys it realy much and likes to teach other guitarists

[Snakeof34]

I would add too that Sam is often drunk x]

[benmoonrocks]

yeah
