Dragonforce String Torture Test

[Bagels108]

now check the tuning of the guitars -.-

[austinfailz]

Vinnie Vincent wants his damn schtick back, kids!

[L3G3nD0001]

Tourture lol... It's spelled Torture, silly peps.

[DeHaarbal]

Wicked!



[jlebesis]

Fuck that's painful to listen to :( God I'm glad I have better taste in music these days. Ps. Not hating on dragonforce..good Band. Just it gets a bit much. Its music for the ego and head. Not the heart.

[mojoefly]

no one tortures strings like vai!!!!!!!!!!!

[jacobparasite]

Face palm.... why not give it ten years and be able to play it for real..... way better :P

[Dragonforce55valley]

Daddario strings are one of the best.

[DanielTCGuitarist]

Whoever says this video is a fake obviously hasn't seen them live, contrary to popular belief, they are flawless nowadays, I've seen them several times.

[coasterfreak5928]

It may be fast but it sound terrible. this is why i dont like dragonforce.

[afrolessnova]

I only break strings 4 times a year, and i generally play 2-3 hours a day. You are doing something wrong if you break a string a day.

[JackTarJakst3R]

They really sped it up, that's so fucking embarrassing...

[TrentLikesTacos]

"It sounds like you are strangling your cat!"

[marker792]

at 0:50 

[allxtar]

this guys only do crappy pentatonic licks and people who nderstand nothing of guitar think they are great lmao

[DreamWeaver1988]

@allxtar Yeah brah your videos are much better!?

[SebaChannel]

oh shit!

so D'Addario its a good label?

finally something good in my guitar set XD

[Daver869]

@ 0:49 WTF??? I don't believe they didn't break

[imadey0utube]

@Daver869 The strings were way too loose to break.

[HellsHighwayTrooper]

cant even spell torture

[sumakabob485]

Just because you can't play guitar and you listen to Eminem doesn't mean this video is fake. Get a life, fucking posers.

[ned2one]

holy crap chck out the strings flopping about at about 45 seconds

[Wackjackso]

The whole point was to be a string torture test, so shut the fuck up and stop complaining.

[ASLbearmod]

Don't really care much for Dragonforce but I'll admit that they're both really good players

[guitarplayer9090]

SAM SUCKS!!!!!!

[101Crimbo]

MrDerek0915 im with u dragonforce suk Slipknot FTW

[soniknynja]

they should make another one of these cuz imma say it...u can hate me if u wanna but idc i AM a dragonforce fan and they should mak another one cuz sam and herman are awesome and hey, haters can hate

:I

Nuf said...

[theaveragekidsTAK]

why did they speed it up?

[MrDerek0915]

@theaveragekidsTAK well you see son, they speed it up BECAUSE THEY FAIL AT GUITAR.

[Shazeen82]

D'addario crafted without gloves on the employees hands.......

[Rafs879]

you can easily see that it's fake by observing the others as someone play, other that it can even be fast, BUT IT'S SHIT ANYWAY

[whoodabom]

shit...absolute shit...

[cycoturkey101]

fucking drop C hahah look how jiggly those strings are

[kickalion]

RIP Dimebag

[Fluffypopcicle]

@kickalion

im not quite sure where that came from, but yes, R.I.P. Dimebag. i did a forensic science project on him. it was awesome.

[mattdd05]

lmao herman has the same guitar strap as me.

[TheEurasia23]

you guys don't like him because you guys can't accept the fact that an Asian is better than an American..

[Rhezor12008]

of course that is sped up

[SoadOwnsUrFace]

You guys know you can easily speed stuff up without pitch change right?

Dragonforce is ass. Even if they didn't speed it up, it's still terribly written.

[Fluffypopcicle]

@SoadOwnsUrFace

big words from a system of a down fan. a good 85% of system of a down songs are poorly written, generic garbage. take prison song for example. it sounds like something i would have made 4 months into guitar playing.

[SoadOwnsUrFace]

@Fluffypopcicle

Lol, fag.

If it's so easy, you do it. Make something as good as SOAD's worst song.

I haven't listened to System of a Down in years, but they still beat the hell out of Dragonforce.



[Fluffypopcicle]

@SoadOwnsUrFace

that won't be a problem. by summer i will be able to use my recording system (i can't right now for stupid reasons) and i'll show dragonforce and system of a down what it's really like to make a good metal song. soad does beat dragonforce, but a lot of their stuff sucks ass.

[venom6611]

wow there hands are fast ;)......teehee

[jpltrip]

What a pair of assholes

[Totenschrei]

i bet they had to cut out a million takes because they broke so much strings :D

[wickedwizardofspeed]

why is every video sped up? this is stupid.

[callumWLB]

@wickedwizardofspeed

it isnt sped up dude. there is no pitch change, and plus why would daddario strings speed up a video?

[TheWhocares233]

@callumWLB this is obviously sped up... look at 0:06 and say thats not sped up...

[callumWLB]

@TheWhocares233 its not sped up...when you speed up a video there is a change in pitch because it changes the frequency of the sound. Lots of guitarists can play that fast dude.

[darkais776]

@TheWhocares233 stupid. that is not sped up otherwise there would be a change in pitch

[epic576]

what guitar is Sam using?

[joey1364]

lol at the end "sounds like your strangling a cat"

[Aquaboy99]

it would have been funny if a string actually broke and hit one of them (or both) in the eye...

[akgbassguitarkidmsc]

Every time Dragonforce touches strings... they torture the strings... and our ears. :/

[djosephj]

Herman is a funny name.

[7SethMurrant7]

@djosephj Best comment ever.

[Protcall]

0:50 Looks like spagetti

[bullaggroxpipe]

suck Live they stink xd Live they commit many mistakes

xd

[malanade1]

you know...the only reason people say they speed their stuff up is cause they cant do it themselves...herman and sam are slow shit compared to some other people...go look up rusty cooley, chris broderick, jeff loomis, and chris storey...i think that will shut a lot of people up if they saw them...(rusty cooley is the fastest of the 4 btw)

[ElGolemista]

@malanade1 well i saw only a couple videos but... that guy does not play than harman ri :S

[2scrimble9]

Herman Ri is bad

[asharma78901]

wow, look at all the haters, I dunno if that is melodic, or musical, but there is no denying they have technique and ability far greater than anyone commenting on this video, you know, unless paul gilbert is here.

[pivotguy196]

0:51 lol the strings are flapping about like crazy!

[TamiToob]

I HAVE THE SAME STRAP AS HERMAN LIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!  lolololololol :D

[Kyrzak12]

That is reageae, however it's spelled

NO SHUT UP it is Pahwar Maytawl

[IwarnU1617]

damn fucking epic ass bends!!

[guitaristguy20]

Thats hardly a string test ....all strings will hold up to that. Cool playing tho!

[JamballsDeluxe]

why not get some good guitarists to test your strings?

[gibbsies]

@JamballsDeluxe exactly lol

[bilbomarks]

Ernie Ball it is then.

[1108boy]

retard! elixir is better



[1108boy]

retard



[MustaineIsGOD23]

herman is such a slow guitarist

[User22845]

woa, shit 0:50

[dbzaddict444]

@User22845 ikr

[Twiggyay]

These guys make D'addario strings look bad...

[jamesprototype]

@0:03

[Guitarshredderguy777]

They cant handle the fame

[LessthanJake14]

I now want Ernie Balls after seeing this video...

[flatpikinguitar]

haha "sounds like your strangling your cat" haha lol yes it does

[JohnChaosVirtue]

I can think of only one man that could torture his strings and he was killed while doing it.

R.I.P. Dimebag

[Jeudaos]

@JohnChaosVirtue not only that. he made the strings LIKE IT! r.i.p.

[gatta124]

he means ear torturing test.

[Deathz0r94]

D'Addario FTMFW

[kokipWnZ]

i bought elixirs 10-52 and it sais it lasts 4 times longer,and they only lasted me 1month and like a week and they just snapped...i used the factory strings for 2months+ and they didnt break lol,now i use d'daddario's coz they sound awsome and u can trust them

[rockerpenguin1129]

This is more like an ear torture test

[Fluffypopcicle]

@rockerpenguin1129

@tacky183

you guys might be surprised at how good herman li can be. i thought he sucked for a long time too, but there are a couple of videos of him jamming with joe satriani and he was pretty damn good. he could play his tuff too... when he is sober lol.

[MrPangulo007]

hahaha lovely.. sounds like ur strangling ur cat hahahahah.. he bent that string a lot HAHAHAHAHAHA.. and he fucked up the strings.. theya re trying to brake it lmao

[8000cheese]

Ernie Ball Regular Slinky

[OneRing19]

herman sounds like bruno in the start LOL at 4 sec

[Darkmetroid134]

Herman can play his shit,so go fucking shove it through your ass

[ACmetalfaceDC]

Dadarrio fucking sucks i went through 2 sets in a week and said fuck it and bought DM's THOSE are some sexy strings

[H3xxl0RxXx]

What talent!? holy fuck they seriously speeded it up! That's the most embarassing thing I've probably ever seen. How comes that these dudes can't play their own songs correctly, then instead of playing it slower speed the video up to make it look like they can play it... and still get credit for nothing more than deceiving their fans. I wouldn't want to build up my reputation on a lie, these guys have obviously no problem with that, sad to hear the people call them a "metalband", sad story...

[Digitbig]

@H3xxl0RxXx They probably sped up a few parts of the video for dramatic/comedic effect, but not in the studio. Have you seen them live recently? They've really cleaned up their act since the Inhuman Rampage tour.

[H3xxl0RxXx]

@Digitbig I have never "seen" them live, just videos and in most of them, their playing sucked, especially solos. I haven't seen recent videos though, good for them if they got better, but I tell you what:

From what I saw and heard, Herman Lee was not able to nearly play the solo of fire and flames live. He *played* only half the notes and half of those sounded inaccurate. Maybe he does it right today but he couldn't do it in all the video and I tell you he couldn't in the studio. No way mate!

[oykheidi]

@H3xxl0RxXx Herman really plays better in live performance compare with the live in the past, I have seen his guitar clinic a couple months ago! He has improved a lot! I agree people say that Dragonforce sucked, but just in the past. By the way he is Herman 'Li' not 'Lee'

[imadey0utube]

Hey I'm Herman from DaddarioForce.

I'm Sam and I'm from DaddarioForce too.

[tacky183]

yeah now give us the video of them doing it at actual speed

[jadarr1]

@tacky183 prove they arent doing it actual speed? :P

[nebel50]

@tacky183 herman and sam are not fake

[fcbtim]

@tacky183 thanks for pointing that out... didn't even notice that. which brings up the question... why are they doing that in the first place?!!??! aren't they fast enough alrdy!? (too fast, IMO)

[Username93611]

@tacky183

So much hate for Dragonforce... they're just a band, people. They didn't make you suck so much you couldn't pass their song, much less FC it. It doesn't make you cool, just because you've joined the counter-movement to hate. Why don't you go post on Mystery Guitar Man's channel and tell him he sucks because he doesn't make his videos in real-time too.

[chidorikakashi]

sams tone sucks

[Maxamilieon]

1:10 what a wuss

[mmmpro12]

Since when was Herman Li any good?

[imadey0utube]

Well atleast they put some humor in here\, lol

[widerecieverjake]

I wanna see them play some animals as leaders... oh wait they can't.

[ryan9312]

@widerecieverjake yes! so glad there are people like you out there

[moodo123456]

oh herro im herman ri

faggot

[TheSybredMachineHead]

@moodo123456 Best comment ever :'D

[90sRockWhore]

man i hate shredding, but i respect the talent.

[Lukeblueslover]

this is much like an "ear torture test"...and it works.

[thaustin14]

String torture test?

ill tell you what's really being tortured... my ears...

[siegfried4245]

at 0:50 look more like rubberbands,i do that to and they do SNAP!

[Caconymic]

@siegfried4245 That part made me laugh my ass off, it looked so ridiculous.

[kierandoyle1992]

if they wanted to torture the strings they should have been doing big bends and their shitty little hang the guitar from the whammy bar trick

[tegolin]

The only test was 1:10 .

[JuiceofVM]

Lol at 0:50 that was stupid.

[Sebbo89]

i guess he has a lucky girlfriend...^^

[DB73093]

Are these guys retarded? hi, my name is herman REEEEEE

[gunsproof]

sorry but i've been endorsed by Ernie Ball Strings 52

[JuiceofVM]

@gunsproof Who are you?

[gunsproof]

@JuiceofVM

Lol it was a joke mate but i use Ernie Ball strings 52 all the way....

[JuiceofVM]

@gunsproof Aw damn I thought you were like Willie Adler or some shit.

[gunsproof]

@JuiceofVM

i wished

[Rhysthic]

now ppls wonder how they get their strings bent so easily ... presse whammy does the trick and no one notices ?

[BiollanteSpawn]

The playing looked sped up >.>

[amast3rMind69]

0.50 was pretty funny the strings

[Rooboner117]

Fake ass guitar "players" I say

[pleadguitar]

i like dadderio...but dunlop is just as good and feels nice n smooth

[Slacker887]

British asians are retarded

[neronium64]

[neronium64]

@Slacker887

[hunterjackkelly1]

@neronium64 dude just listen to these guys they fucking suck look at paul gilbert compared to these guys. he isnt obsessed with the gay fucking pac man noise haha

[neronium64]

@hunterjackkelly1

[lockofthedeath]

[killswitch731]

@lockofthedeath elixirs r the shit.

[LeWolfgang]

LOL "ooh lovely, it sounded like you were strangling your cat"

[BassRorro]

No Armony

[Racheengel665]

pure fucking noise :/

[madman3247]

Oh no, the host removed my comments :)

I shall reiterate once again then!

Stop whining about Dragonforce, they're a very good band....blah, blah blah.....the only reason your whining is because you can't play these solos yourself.....I can't remember what I said last time, but I'll check up on a regular basis to repost comments about this video.....if they keep getting deleted that is o_0

[metalupurass247123]

your no different then all the other fagots that listen to dragonforce. u talk like ur some king of fagish wizard or something. get a life loser

[madman3247]

@metalupurass247123 Really? A wizard? lol, w/e you wanna believe man, lol.

[mx4l91]

metallica wasnt always bad. everyone likes em cuz there so well known and anywere u go if u bring theiir name up ppl have at least heard of them. thats wat makes them overrated. and their not the wordt band.. look at how many years they have been a band.

[team322]

0:50 OMG

i don't understand how the bridge don't break

o.o

[LOSEADRUID]

@team322 what is he really doing at 0:50 ^^ I mean

[REDWING9871]

he like killing a cat... just saying

[xXCALLZXx]

wow, they seem to have improved

[wareaglebabe11]

:35 hey sam lets play some video games

[mx4l91]

o yea by the way any one ever hear of Yngwie Malmsteen.. Jason Becker... Marty Friedman...Paul Gilbert... Dimebag Darrell..need i go on? and im not some dude looking at this and not knowing anything about guitar been playing for years now.. and ive never heard Heramn play the same thing twice.. solos are always different live..

[mx4l91]

wow... more like ear torture test... y do people think they can play? like starting at 1:08 really pissed me off... idk i guess its just my opinion..

[Unearthing]

The strings look extremely like Spaghetti at 0:50. xD

[Ihatecoldnnnirror]

@Unearthing xDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD­DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD­DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

[sammemqandil]

Why must they speed up everything

[guitargeek1998]

Lol "God, it sounds like you're strangling your cat!'

Sam Totman :P PHAIL

[ridehonda107]

the problem is people hatin on dragonforce is the bandwagon effect. they do a few mistakes from being trashed live and then a couple people point out they suck live. then so does everyone else without knowing what they are talking about. i definately don't think they are the best guitarists in the world but i can gurantee they are better than anyone who commented on this video.

[metalupurass247123]

there always drunk live cuz if they played sober theyd still suck dick and they just want people to think that that suck live cuz thier drunk all the time but in reality they just suck live period, drunk or sober

[Sevenxsnroses]

Dragonforce is late on thier time if they wouldve came in the 80s they would be great although they are good guitar players they dont mesh well now days hence y thier always discredited

[lucasmoua09]

These guys are as cool as guitar hero!!!!! :D. Go listen to some fuckin divine heresy or something

[BOT210A]

or morbid angel XD

[Kurtalicious1]

"oh yeah he's from dragonforce too!" XD lmao!!!

[PiratePancakeMJ]

Yeah....... Their little "torture test" isn't that bad at all. When you play fast using tapping or scale runs, it actually puts very little tension on the strings.

[XJoshXHeox]

@PiratePancakeMJ whammy bar was used 50% of the time...

[Raefreaky]

@PiratePancakeMJ Yeah but them bends!
