Herman Li Valley Of the Damned Solo (Dragonforce)

[lpqwerty1996]

the through the fire and flames solo is much better

[axel403]

parece marty friedman la forma de tocar xD

[jonrg77]

This bloke is one of the biggest BULLSHITTERS! on the guitar thats out there! how he and that other bullshit shredder, sam got out there is beyond me?????????

[malickmea]

me encanta este solo es buenisimo!!

[Futuristx11]

Sounds like he breaks scale a lot :/ I love Dragonforce, but whenever Herman plays solo like this you can see how fret accuracy is lost as soon as it gets fast.

[woodros]

soulless

[lizurdman2828]

Haters gonna hate.

Patotoes gonna potate.

Waiters gonna wait.

Alligators gonna aligate.

[apalmalarrain]

@lizurdman2828 Ahahahaha

[tykkimykk14]

it's not nice , it's COOL!

[humblejumpify]

nice solo!

[1234Dandyman]

Go see my cover of this solo on my channel @1234dandyman

[ldominic66]

i'm sorry but even though some licks have good melodies he fucks up a couple of notes and the sweeps are just awful and some even out of scale

[cynicown]

@ldominic66 By out of scale, I assume you mean out of key?

[NextSelection671]

Haters gon Hate.

[potatojuice321]

@NextSelection671 me specially

[NextSelection671]

@potatojuice321 you mad bro?

[potatojuice321]

[zevichico007]

solo un genio de la guitarra la hace hablar

[TheMrlive2game]

i've only started playing guitar, this is a long time away for me

[kungfudragon99]

@TheMrlive2game this guy's rubbish, if you want some real guitar inspiration lookup jeff loomis.

[rockonabc1]

@kungfudragon99 jeff loomis is rubbish, if you want some real guitar inspiration look up Nick Jonas.

[kungfudragon99]

@rockonabc1 wow dude you opened my eyes

[rockonabc1]

@kungfudragon99 are you implying that your eyes have been closed before i opened them?

[kungfudragon99]

@rockonabc1 yes. all this time i thought jeff loomis was a god, but now i knw nick jonas fucks him up. thanks man

[apalmalarrain]

@TheMrlive2game I assure you you will reach this soon, and in less than twice the time needed for this you will most likely be shredding already. IF you put your effort on it. ;)

[funnywords1]

through the fire and flames on banjo. WHO IS WITH ME!

[DcCoO]

he wants to be like eddie van halen, but unfortunately there is only one eddie van halen :S although not bad

[chancewasted]

0:38 really fuckin hit or miss move...

[sumerun333]

[IcoTheBest]

This solo is good, well composed but played really shitty.

[TheAnnoyingOffical]

@IcoTheBest play it better !

[celticwarrior222]

@TheAnnoyingOffical he didnt write the solo, herman li did, he should be able to play it properly especially sitting down not even playing infront of many people

[000trashcanhero000]

@IcoTheBest YOU

are a idiot, this is beautiful, and let's see if you can play better.

(i can't)

[WingsofRetribution]

He's good, but there are much better out there. Lot's of people can play stuff like this.

[mazingguitar]

I think it's best his solo. Really nice and well-composed

[LemonCrushMusic]

He should give playing in time a try :)

[Buyakaasha]

he isnt that good folks... wow im shocked but he sucks

[23taip]

[BruceLeeGuy1]

awsome!

[Dragonforcerulez1]

ahhhh.... 240p we meet again...

[rogueshadow12]

such a beautiful solo xD

[GuillermoSmyser]

I can't decide if I like the fact that they play a little differently live than on the album. I mean sometimes it sounds awesome, but other times you can just tell they aren't trying too hard to really nail the solos from the album, like they think we can't tell or something.

If Dragonforce had that Dream Theater type mentality where they are just perfect live then it'd be just amazing. And I think they are getting there.

[kiwi5slayer]

@GuillermoSmyser But then it would get boring and repetitive, if they played note for note every time on stage

[000trashcanhero000]

damn. i think that proves pretty wel that he is not fake to the haters, great solo :D

[SplinterX]

out of everything ive heard from him, there are parts in this that i actually like. I think he gets too flashy in a lot(by lot, I mean every single damn one) of his solos. I like that there are parts in this solo where I can actually hear the changes in pitch. It's great he can play arpeggios at ridiculous speeds but, honestly, who cares it's not fun to listen to?

[6project6nightmare6]

@SplinterX Dont listen then?

[Cheesy2CheesyTaco]

I dont see the pick of destiny...

[mweaver187]

@Cheesy2CheesyTaco its because he is the pick of destiny \m/

[zoroark30]

you call that know how to play good solos!!! GREAT HERMAN LI!!

[NNgmbh]

that is the best solo on earth!!!

[badboy867]

@pableterg350 por que no intentas hacerlo wn????

[Dragonforce55valley]

This song reminds me of my YouTube username.

[Disturbed4everlive]

@Dragonforce55valley lame-o-

[MrCoolGuy443]

i came

[pableterg350]

Como la mierda. improvisa como un niñito de 13 años wn

[NaMeLeSsBOS]

His hands are so small.

[lawdactyl]

this solo makes me hard

[Chingobongo]

best guitar player on the universe

[Slapflip]

@Chingobongo HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHAHA

Your amazingly stupid comment amuses me.

[bricedelanice]

some solos of DF are to technical but in some tunes, its beautiful and this song is a prouve that DF is not just technical but makes sometimes beautiful solos :)

[Hermanligreat]

推弦很大力

[Khoanz]

i got to admit that i m not a big fan of DF but i really got to admit that i really like this solo :)

[fredsassy5]

Herman Li is my biggest inspiration and a legend:)

[ShadowDante58]

I loved it. Until he started doing the tapping. I think the fast licks he began doing really halted the beauty of the slower section.

[ItsmeFrederick]

20 people are fucks

[Metallicafanatic74]

@ItsmeFrederick Now it's 41.



[secretbowser29]

@ItsmeFrederick make that 41

[Furui93Shin]

The thing he always play that solo in different way >.<. The other one is that it's NOT the thing to copy one of his ways, but to play it your own...

[nemogre]

dreadful...sorry guys...this guy need practiceeee....

[pipsqueek14]

people can say what they want, but i think herman is an awesome and inspirirng (wrong spelling) guitarist. his technique isnt that good, and sometimes he plays sloppy, but i like it.

[markthana]

i jizzed

[FiraaKeitake]

This video motivates me to keep playing guitar because that's how my pinky looks like when playing guitar...

[DANIL2990]

i love this solos <3

[divierrevolutions]

simply beautiful, the best solo of this song

[dethpress]

shit

[xanado74]

Not saying its good or bad (mostly I like them very much), but their music always reminds me of video games...

Nintendo Rock, is it?

[trollzillalolol]

@xanado74 most old style like 80's metal sounds like old video games because of the 8 and 16bit sound

[xanado74]

@trollzillalolol

Sorry, but I have to disagree.

Iron Maiden, Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, Anthrax, Judas Priest, Ozzy, Motorhead (and so many others) sound NOTHING like this!

[trollzillalolol]

@xanado74 i must be thinking of something else then :P i remember hearing my dad playing some music when i was younger which sounded very similar to this style of metal

[ZackyVengeanceXD]

@trollzillalolol Could it have been Helloween??

[xEkyx]

This make me cry everytime i listen to. So FUCKING awesome.

[yossarianXful]

dou ya have any tabs?

[captainchrist1986]

This is the best playing I have seen from Herman Li, very tasteful at points (which isn't what dragonforce are about) he had to ruin it by putting sweeps/scale runs in there which he can't even play sitting down. bah.

[kalimayaish]

he's my id0l..

[alfoluke]

no good..bleahh!

[MrTheguyudontknow]

they suck

[backsideheelflip1]

@MrTheguyudontknow correct

[dnssvc]

@MrTheguyudontknow are you insane!!!!!1

[dnssvc]

@MrTheguyudontknow are you insane!!!!!

[MrTheguyudontknow]

they didn really start gettin famos teel gutair hero 3

[TheMysteriousSage]

@MrTheguyudontknow your point?



[TombDavid]

wonderful solo but sounds a bit like the loner from Gary Moore

[rholle2]

actually its not the solo but outro, still this is one if the masterpieces from Herman Li

[bullmoose1969]

That run at :25 sounded horrible

[liavd125]

@bullmoose1969 fuck you

[bullmoose1969]

I think it's sloppy. I don't think he improvises well. I love dragonforce and this is my favorite song by them. I agree with some of the others. His intonation is bad in a lot of things I see him play.

[Bless1995]

Alright you all think they suck and his tone sucks? Then you pick up a guitar and play better if your such a close minded idiot

[slayerdude18]

@Bless1995 that tone that solo all those songs of dragonforce are fucking epic

[kingv911]

sounds like music to the credits of a crappy 80's movie or sitcom.

[FrederikEngelmand]

@kingv911 wtf have you been smoking!?

[kingv911]

@FrederikEngelmand Reality.

[FrederikEngelmand]

@kingv911 well thats your perception of reality

[charangourbano]

horrible.

[mazingguitar]

@charangourbano

compose better...

[bboymaster14]

@charangourbano why is horrible??? LOL!

[omeganukestrike]

@charangourbano Pick up a guitar and play better then twat

[Hotdog40404040404]

Old Dragonforce=GODLIKE

New Dragonforce=Fake and Gay

[XxTreceZxX]

@Hotdog40404040404 what do u mean by the old and the new?? o_O

[spartftw]

His tone sucks and this sounds like some cheesy japanese anime shit

[gobersiak]

sounds like crap

[hatsumomo535353]

@HenriSirkus1 ı think this is better

[edimran99]

@HenriSirkus1 accually this is better

[patrickwh]

@HenriSirkus1 through the fire and flames is nice but it isn't just about crazy solo play the sound and how it is put together i mean just listen to this is sounds amazing.

[HenriSirkus1]

@patrickwh

Yeah I Know!

[oshi1000]

wow this is definitely one of the beautiful solos i have heard in my life...herman took me by surprise...

[Haddockxyz300]

This wath's happen when music comes from your soul,Perfection and Beauti

[omeganukestrike]

Per-fucking-fect

[Krisiun111]

very nice but how come the video does not match the sound??

[goenisse]

I wish they could make more songs with a outro like this one.

[HardRockGaby]

I Do better that him

[sanjinator17]

[TheWinFailure]

[Metalfeak3]

@edimran99 In 2012 you're dead! Just kidding dude.

[edimran99]

@Metalfeak3 haha :D

[darkcastle9]

OUTRO SOLO!!! AMAZING!!

[Scottmaster84]

Of all the guitarists who have made themselves a name as "great plays" I think Herman is by far the sloppiest and least creative player of all! I know - who am I to say that, but still... zero feeling, zero musical content, hectic vibrato...

[jillicious21]

nice but ray toro is still the best

[J10NN]

Really Impressive!

[cobuslegend1]

@demonbird lol its hermen li hes doesn't do this mostly he is a shredder the guys u mention just play the guitar

[whitelotus808]

he should ditch dragonforce and do a solo career like vai . hes nowhere near as good as steve, but sams playing wont drag him down and people will actually see that hes a damn good player.

[edhammerforce]

one of the most beatiful solos i have ever heard

[Thalos66]

@edhammerforce Omg... Have you ever heard a guitar solo ?

@Thalos66 Believe me I know lots of guitar solos...but Herman brings so much felings in this...most guitarists make the mistake to play a solo as fast as they can and forget tha playing guitar is just a way to show how you feel...And from this point, this solo is great
