@wowjunkie73 I'm assuming you mean the song "Introspection and the Loss of Denial"? I just listened to that song on their MySpace page, and the solo I was referring to (The one at the very start of this video) isn't in that song... at least I can't hear it anyways.
90 percent of betcha cant play this suck. chirs brodrick and john li are the only exeptions. the second i saw this guy play i was checking him out (in a non gay way) xD
his last name is "Li", how many non-asian "Li"s do you know?
and so what if he is? Im an asian metal guitarist too and its amazing how some people think that we are just tagging onto some white supremest fad or something or how ppl get surprised when they see azn or black metalheads. guess where the guitar came from, BLACK PPL! same with blues, and rock. Suzuki is another asian DM guitarist and hes 1 of the best, there are tons of asian metal bands. we are taking over this world, get used to it.
lol, sorry to upset you, but I didn't mean to come across like that. he's actually a friend of mine, and he's awesome. i wish i could play a tenth of what he could. as for the origins of the guitar, guitar-like instruments have been around for thousands of years. the acoustic guitar as we know it was designed somewhere around 200 years ago in Spain by the likes of Antonio Jurado. the BLUES came from African-American players in the south. i wasn't saying asians or blacks can't play guitar well.
I think he might be a little bit underrated. :P
