DragonForce - Young Guitar DVD

[slayr232]

I love how they have a mini-camera on every video of theirs to show how fast they're moving their fingers.

[Ercilio007]

@crisiscor

Solo of prepare for war

[crisiscor]

the one played by sam

[crisiscor]

someone can tell me what is the song they play in the demonstration #2?????

[MrSchwermetalle]

tbh i think it's a combination of the whole 'got no soul' yngwie malmsteen argument which is basically jealous guitar players, and also the fact that most 'proper' metal bands eg. thrash, death, black seem to have a tendancy to dislike power metal. i don't as a matter of fact and i'm a huge thrash and death metal head who hates all those poser nu metal and metalcore shit holes but i am just stating why I THINK ppl dislike DF

[2012comefaster]

I love Metal, and especially lead guitar. Why don't I like this? Sorry Jeff Loomis can take them both on with a hangover.

[varulv234]

Ain't got no balls. I want my Metal to have balls.

[quadcannon95]

does anybody have any idea what kind of picks they use?

[MrReaperGuitarist]

good guitarist both... but i don't like their style!

[simpleben09]

Am I the only one that prefers sam over herman?

[rebelcommando1]

Gotta admit, this video makes you respect them a bit more, the only problems I have is that you have the other instruments in the background along with the infamous effect pedals...

Either way, they're still badass :P

[360guitarfreak]

0:48 and on thats SICK AWESOME COOL powerful and sweet and you got to know what kind of sound they are trying to show off and actually its not all noises the singer is not annoying is just you fucking haters dont have the damn feel for that kind of music so GTFO OF HERE

[FiraaKeitake]

I think it would be better if they play their song slow... like starfire.

[cryan5280]

These guys have no melodic sense whatso ever. All noise.

[ADEZK]

@cryan5280 lame solos  -.-

[piginila1]

I very much respect these guitarplayers for their skill, but I think they are assholes, and their guitar licks sound lame, their music is music for mentally challenged people who like nintendo noises and their singer is horrible, simply horrible.

[RickyboyH]

After all those videogame sounds, i was expection Super Mario to join them mid-solo shouting: Itse mee, Marioooo!

They're technically great, but really don't care for their music.

[konothecook]

@willl923 no one said they were the best guitarists ever. People like you are whiney faggots and say that speed doesn't have any soul. Soul isn't a real fucking thing. Music is an art, not a feeling. It's a field of tonal patterns that people can use to customize and make a particular stream of sound. Meaning that someone who can incorporate more sounds and harder techniques are better at the technicality of music, and people that connect the sounds better are better at the feeling of the music.

[dirtypottertube]

@konothecook THANK YOU

I've been saying this forever to all these hendrix worshipping twats

[konothecook]

@willl923 how do you figure? seeing as how everyone shits on them no matter how talented they are. First it's "they suck at guitar," and then when they watch one of these videos it's "well they have no soul." You really can't please youtube cunt holes.

[guitarman813]

Hi this is Herman from Dragonforce...

And I am Sam from Dragonforce...

And now, we are gonna show you a shitty tapping intro! :-P

[snaeroketahi]

their pick holding form is wierd

[Junsq1]

Gosh that beginning was awful...they're really good at playing noise I think.

[Dreiko1994]

2:49 ?

[Chaz6993X]

They have soul in that speed. :)

[HemeHaci]

That should be the funniest intro ever. I wonder how they would look when they grow up..

[beawareofthedog]

in demonstration 4. what song is herman li playing before it goes to demonstration 5

[mingebag851]

Dragonforce sucks, kids. Just live with it.

[DanThornton01]

@mingebag851 instead of just saying they suck, why dont you put a reason why you think they suck? personally, I dont follow this trend of going to every Dragonforce video on youtube and expressing how much they suck, because i really like them.

if you dont like them, then thats fair enough, but they most certainly dont "suck".

[mingebag851]

@DanThornton01 They are sloppy and unclean studio players. They just can't play their own stuff live. I see you obviously don't know much about guitar playing, eh?

[DanThornton01]

@mingebag851 who the fuck are you to tell me i dont know much about guitar playing? i know theyre not the best live players, but they are still talented guitarists.

[Chaz6993X]

@mingebag851 They make absolutely beautiful music. You're a complete idiot if you can't see the soul and beauty behind the speed.

[mingebag851]

@Chaz6993X Lol, that was the best joke I have heard in a week.

[Chaz6993X]

@mingebag851 Have you heard their song from their new album? Flames for freedom? there is so much soul in that song. Ok, so ZP Theart doesn't have the manliest voice, but he can sing a truly inspirational song.

[lolabunny112]

[juzzlin]

They are fast, but musically nothing.

[IceBlade2009]

Fury of the Storm

[diogomm1995]

which is that first song they are playing?

[RainbowSixVegasII]

@diogomm1995 Sounds like the beginning of the Fury of the Storm solo.

[Rocksoccer123]

This is pretty ace.

[nukuwe]

[yousee56]

Its Fury of the Storm

[OsHead94]

[RainbowSixVegasII]

@OsHead94 That's one of Sam's solos in Body Breakdown.

[MrKirkhammett666]

omg 3:34 great!!

[chrissyCowell]

How comw the majority of these clips have sam playing?

[hackr3d]

this guys have the most incredible picking techniques i've ever seen - lol -

Tiago Della Vega.

[cs16rlz]

this music is a bit too noisy, but they have amazing skills, it's not easy to play this style of metal... (i have a lot of friends who spent years trying to play dragonforce's songs XD)

[mpgotten]

I personally think ,the best musician in Dragonforce is the Drummer ..lol :D

but to say this, I'm not a big fan of Dragonforce (I'm a Thrash guy lol) ,BUT I personally think Herman Li is kind of funny guy lol^^

[vonzippa12]

i fuckin hate dragonforce. they are fast but they are horrible song writers

[cs16rlz]

if you fucking hate it... WHY ARE U WATCHING THIS..

ithis is power metal right? THE SONGS SPEAK ONLY OF flying dragons and ancient fights...

if you're gonna pull a critic that lame, don't even waste your time typing dude...

this guys have the most incredible picking techniques i've ever seen, plus they know how to use the pedals...

i'm not a big fan of power and speed metal, but herman li and "sam" (dunno his last name Xo) are incredible guitar players

[vonzippa12]

I know there amazing guitarist but every song sounds the same.

[BakaOnegati]

For one: you guys have terrible spelling.

Also, the Valley of the damned solo (imho) is amazing, both musically and technically

[ellinasethnikos]

teach us what?how to play shity music?

[RossGeller79]

why is this shity music? give reasons

[ellinasethnikos]

rediculous fast notes with no melody in them......

[RossGeller79]

you should liste closer.

this music is too high for you, so you can't see it

[ellinasethnikos]

i dissagree my friend but that's how things are......some like them some don't.......I DON'T

[razorslice17]

Shut the hell up. Listen to the Valley of the Damned outo solo or "Prepare For War" or "Disciples of Babylon" or even Starfire

[ellinasethnikos]

i hope u die tomorrow........

[cs16rlz]

IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT DON'T WATCH IT DUDE n.n is that simple..

and... some of you have a pretty bad spelling (i'm from argentina jeje)

[ellinasethnikos]

i have to watch it so i'll know that i won't like it......

[RossGeller79]

is someone able to tab this out .___.?

[bassface17]

I gotta learn all these solos!

[RossGeller79]

@bassface17

if you learn them, can you tab them,too? pls xD

[JamesOface]

sam has n00b vibrato

[DONEY10]

thats coz they are n00bs

[JamesOface]

haha yeah

[RossGeller79]

@JamesOface

do it better oO

[JamesOface]

no sweat. It's like taking candy form a dead baby.

[FireStaffSkater]

Anyone know what solos are in demonstration 2...

i really CBA to listen to all four albums just to figure it out..

[razorslice17]

2:47 - Prepare For War

3:38 - Valley Of The Damned (outro)

[filip4o15]

sam rocks

[razorslice17]

I've always found sam's picking weird

[filip4o15]

its not weird, its just homeshool...

[FireStaffSkater]

Naa its easy.

[iSammoXD]

anyone know where i can download the DVD?

[TwoGuZZup144]

Valley of the Damned ending solo is so Epic

[bronsonbaker]

i agree. it sounds really good too. not just like shred good.

[blackrosesman]

who know 3:37 - 4:42 what a title songs?? plzzz

[MIX1218]

its valley of the damned...its the ending solo

[aihema]

valley of the damned ending part

[PilotOfNorway91]

Valley of the Damned - Ending.

[Tsubaki50]

Sounds cool :D

[Blackbeast123]

Its one thing to say a band sucks becuse you dont like them but this aint Dragonforce playing. Its Herman Li and Sam Totman from Dragonforce and no matter how you look at it they are incredible guitarplayers who can rape you everyday in a guitarbattle.

[MetalyourMom]

dud edont defend em they just sucks, i mean they are not bad guitarists they are good but they suck live and when they are stand up

[Blackbeast123]

They can play live. Its 2009 not 2006. I have uploaded a DVD quality clip from and Dragonforcehdtv has many great livevideos.

[MetalyourMom]

well thats true i have heard humors about that, maybe you are right :D but i dont like it anyways

[iSammoXD]

@MetalyourMom - DF dont suck live at all, i saw them last week at wolverhampton, they rocked, seriously!

[MetalyourMom]

@iSammoXD well maybe they have improved their live now, but u have to agree they sucked before :D

[iSammoXD]

@ MetalyourMom - I Know...Graspop 2006 was an epic fail for DF....

[kakashihatake1321]

there good live now, but they used to suck

[MienB0i916]

yessir..HAHA..gotta love sam,herman,and their ibanez guitars

[kfobert]

I can't believe people actually think these guys are good. They are SOOO sloppy

[MIX1218]

i wanna c u do wat they do fagget..there good, everybody fuks up we r only human asshole

[kfobert]

what they do isn't very hard. All I'm saying is that there are so many more people out there that are a lot more talented than these guys. And they are fucken sloppy, ask decent guitar player will tell you that.

[xMasterxRazorx]

Actually I know several great guitar players that were blown away by these guys. They aren't the greatest in the world but they're quite good.

[allof8death]

will u pretty much fail at the english language completely :D. and im a guitar player and i think Dragonforce really is a badass band one of the best up there that gives hope for power metal cuz honestly i have never heard music as catchy as Dragonforce. Sam Totman and Herman Li, Zp Theart, Vadim Pruzhanov, Dave Mackintosh, Frederic Leciercq, You sirs are fucking AMAZING muscians and all the fans of Dragonforce are looking foward to thier new album and u can never change it haha.

[riseagainstrul33]

amen

[satchboogie111]

take zp off the list and you got it ;D

[gehtdieser]

@allof8death most of the shit they play sounds great but this gay voice singer is just terrible and destroys the awesome guitar sounds

[RossGeller79]

your brain is sloppy xDD

[apurdy69]

so do u dude..bet u cant do it faggot...dont hate..good people fuk up but here its sound on...

[dimi0990]

they suck

[TheUnlimitedCovers]

Someone tell me the song at 2:47 please? People have said it's Prepare for War but i've listened to that countless times and that solo isn't in there.

[viperking001]

that's Prepare for War. in the song it starts at 4:36. it could be strange, because the pick tapping sounds a bit different.

[TheUnlimitedCovers]

Yeah, turns out some files i have are incorrectly named, Prepare for War is actually "Soldiers of the Wasteland" on this PC i have no idea why but i found it and have learnt it cheers :).

[otherrandomhero]

Did they seriously steal the chord progression from Canon in D at 3:38

[DARKREGIS]

alright just so you know chords are made to be repeated they don't belong to one person that's why there are so many I found alist wita hundred or so chrod progressions it was intense!

[Coatul]

It's not stealing, it's just playing.... Do you ever sing a song by anyone? You must be stealing it then.

[lunchbox342]

does any one know if there usin some sorta effect to get that sound on the guitars or is it just there pick up settings an such

[synsystem]

man those guys rock!!!

what song is the second demonstration?

[MienB0i916]

prepare for war

[AimshotPwnage]

Amazing guitarists!

What song is the first demonstration?

[TorrentDLL]

That is the solo from DragonForce-Fury Of The Storm

[ARodYankFan]

Fury of the Storm

[MienB0i916]

fury of the storm

[Madhouse255]

hahahahaha I laughed so freaking hard from 0:06-0:012. It just looks funny

[Slashings]

What guitar is sam using in this vid ?

[MienB0i916]

i dont realy know..i thought he only used icemans and that other guitar thingy haha

[otherrandomhero]

It's some sort of RG hardtail, and judging by the look of the fretboard and pickups, it's probably one of ibanez's low end ones.

[OsHead94]

i think its a standard ibanez RG

[1vayolett]

to crackss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :):):)

[otherrandomhero]

3:40 sounds cool because it's the same chord progression as Canon in D, you retards. I find it hilarious that even when dragonforce has multiple takes to play their songs well, they still suck.

[EduardoMexTroopers]

3:36 cool!!!

[razorslice17]

I like Sam better than Herman.

On a side note - i hate the way they sit in this video.

[Guitarism300]

Hey! i've been taking herman's advice and i didn't even know it!

[123454321qcat]

damn theyve gotten better since their "betcha cant play this" video

[Guitarism300]

yes they have. they've gotten better even after this! they are amazing now!

[641522]

[FurbyParade226]

5:27 - 5:50 My Spirit will go On

[dforceman]

Body Breakdown start should be 3:13

[FurbyParade226]

my bad..my head was in the clouds lol

[dforceman]

Don't worry about it. It happens to all of us sometimes.

[FurbyParade226]

Let's see. To start..that's your opinion =] and nobody will care because we all luv DF here. "I sat down and figured out"..because I'm a fan, I knew the songs off the bat (just like other bands). And uh..it's "Power Metal" dude..get with the program. If you don't like it listen to something else. Thanx =]

[gullagullagulla]

if he knows the music, he wouldn't have had to "figure out which was which"... he most likely just recognized them

[redalert375]

5:05 SONG?

[PilotOfNorway91]

It's above, and it's Storming the Burning Fields.

[gullagullagulla]

1:40 harmonicfail lol

[SaintNate1]

it was there just quite :D

[MrEllinaras]

Sam's Part is as always a big big big big shit

and his solos a  crap...

[soadilias]

ellinaras???MrPaparas eprepe na valis...

[SeeMePassYou]

The pinch harmonic @ 2:54 is fake.

[redalert375]

how is it fake?

[hellrazor665]

lol the Studioforce with big Herman lie and that other idiot lol

what a guitar n00bs... omg-i just can't believe that some1 can admire and appreciate these 2 idiots...

[samguitargod]

finally some one who really sees the truth! you rock hell razor665 :D

[SaintNate1]

i would love to see a demonstration of your fasterness than DF

[soadilias]

When ou beleave something try to prove it with acts and no with words..

When someone sees that a band is faster or better than hes favorite band starts to say bad things for other bands...

i have only one thing to say to you:you don't like it? dont watch it...STFU and go to an other video...

oh..and if they are idiots and you are smart-boy i guess you can outspeed them very easy,right??

[hellrazor665]

dude any guitar n00b can outspeed them-and i am dead serious about that....

[soadilias]

OK...you say it...now prove it if you can...

[ARodYankFan]

I want to see you prove that because anyone can be stupid enough to just talk and prove absolutely nothing.

Plus, unless you're blind, those 2 proved in this vid that they can do the solos. In case you didn't know, especially Fury of the Storm, uses a ton of pedals and they did all this without them to show you that it's not Studioforce. Way to point out nothing smart boy.

[SaintNate1]

that's why there all sponsored by ibanez and there sweeping is pretty good

[dforceman]

Prove to us that you can. I definitely can't, and I'm maybe half a level up from some random guitar n00b.

[bassface17]

Wow. Do you understand that these guys wrote around forty songs. All with really complex solos. They are even playing most of them daily around the world and have been since the release of their third album. They also have an enormous fan base of loyal fans. I don't think any guitar noob can say that.

[Tordah90]

im also dead serious your an asshole for sayin that

[dusty6161]

ohhh youtube tuff guy over here

[snajpir]

Oh txs

[zebaxtiantd]

you are fake lol

[snajpir]

what is the song ?

from 3:38

[ARodYankFan]

Valley of the Damned. One of the best outros in the world.

[Sweage92]

dude why should they fake it? xD they can play so thats what they r doing. stop say they suck they own.

[moulingoff]

gods

[Xmalibur]

Their Vibrato is so weak

[MegashadX]

It's not fake. It's easy to get this kind of sound. Besides, explain the mistakes. If they were cheating, why not simply edit out mistakes?

[LedKenji666]

Hewrman Wree

[elliottking1]

ok then how come i play it on my guitar the same way to see if its fake why does it sound the way they sound

[AeroAcdcFan07]

i love how herman plays the only solo that he DOESNT redub for this dvd. hilarious
