Buckethead vs Herman Li

[josepheminem]

i wanna see paul gilbert and yngwie's battle

[MaskMan131]

Posting comments on all my guitar battle videos and this is my first haha. I think its pretty obvious who is better... HERMAN! HA JK! Its too bad they have to speed up the guitar tracks on their records to actually get their speed. The only good member of the band live is the drummer and hes probably going to die from overdose on energy drinks haha xD Buckethead was an easy pick.

[IronPandemonia]

two people that i wanna see battle is Steve Vai and Joe Satriani

or Hedrix and Stevie Ray Vaughn

[TannerVideo]

im not a big fan of bucketheads sound. He may be fast but im going to vote for Herman, just cause i like dragonforce better lmao

[IronPandemonia]

u cant compare herman to buckethead..

[W4rStaff]

In my opinion is Herman Li the best guitarist ever! I love his solos!

[campkillyourself93]

Herman is a good guitarist but he just doesn't put as much emotion and soul into his playing like Buckethead. I consider Buckethead a guitar legend, and my personal hero.

[DChoundman]

what is the song at the end in the credits and is it by deathclock from metalocolypse

[campkillyourself93]

Yes it is called Castratikon

[SubAtomic15]

whats the song at the very start?

[marcoliveira0641]

I personaly don't like dragon force...They're too Dream theatre wannabee...Herman li is one of the fastest guitar players i've ever seen, but it's just for show off...I like buckethead but he's not an artist that makes me jump off my chair...Both of them are just too overrated, but soothsayer is playing all the time on my mp3 player!!!!!

[KSETyson]

Herman Li can even really play guitar....its all computer/studio generated......if u have seen them live you would understand

[mikolajek101]

Herman Li RLZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[timebreak95]

BUCKETHEAD FTW ANYDAY!!!

[MiddleGrounder]

No contest, Herman Li can play, but Buckethead doesn't need anyone else to support him to make his music godly.

[IanSparta]

Buckethead ftw!

[aaronaddicott]

buckethead

[markzero1986]

bucket head wins just because he can do everything on one guitar he doesnt need a china's man playing pack man sounds

[robriani]

twat

[Hammetallica92]

dragonforce is not a live band if you ask me

[guralainen]

herman li´s one string solos are so fucking awesome! OMFG!!!

buckethead is one of the greatest ever, as his teacher paul!

[Icantfeeeeeelit]

Buckethead make incredibly good music.. but Herman Li as guitarist, his solos are insane so I'm on his side ;)

[trevstyles]

Herman Li would be nothing with out his whammy bar so buckethead 100%

[SimmiTN]

you used sam's solo's too... -_-'

[metangking123]

buckethead ftw

[yoda125]

BUCKETHEAD KICKS HERMANS ARSE :P

[Hammetallica92]

Bucket is the best

[harleyman24]

I say Buckethead. He actually puts feeling into his playing and Herman is just a guitar robot.. Herman Li's stuff sounds all the same..

[WiltenTV]

Buket for sure.

[mfl2896]

herman li by a little bit he is just insanely awesome

[cooljohn12000]

4:02

[cooljohn12000]

4.02 XDLOL

[klinkdaddy69]

Buckethead by far

[gregfak]

this one buckethead wins by far... counting that the solos for dragonforce are b herman and sam together... buckethead RuleZ herman

[6y298]

Li's playing is like a wall of sound. Walls are cool and impressive in their function, but boring as hell.

[Hicki999]

There 2 different styles of music and they both rule just accept tht

[BlackMetalragnarok]

buckethead

[pulemand]

Herman Li (Lvl 5) used EPIC FAIL

The attack was ineffective

Buckethead (lvl 99) Wins!

Ps. Studioforce sucks ass @ live concerts.

The only way you can compare is by live show.

[jasonxdd]

get a life

[tankjan91]

you can't compare them cause they are too different... herman uses more soundeffects and buckethead has his own sound

[FightingChickenMan]

bucket head is just freakin awesome

[ukeman8]

Buckethead shit all over herman li. all li does is play fast he cant even come close to makeing his music sound the same twice its jus nonsence

[eddieq98]

buckethead is way better why would you even compare them?

[vanhalenfreak998]

you see buckethead can actually play his own songs

[killerwattt]

how do you know bucket head isn't asian to? rofl

[bosoxdanc1]

Because he's white.

[SomethingIm1]

Herman Li Because he just kicks butt

[xJohnxAnarchyx]

Buckethead wins. Live and in the studio his playing is clean. Go watch some Herman Li stuff. He's only clean in the studio. Live or video taped, he sounds like shit. So does Sam Totman.

[Southerntredkill]

Alright who is **d's name put Tom Marrillo on the list? Who ever you are, you should **** yourself! First of all! Who ever made this picked the wrong songs for Buckethead! Jimi Hendrix (no lessons). Another, Joe Satriani (The original shit!)and the apprentice Steve Vai. Yungwie Malmsten, young Alvin Lee, and my favorite Darrell Abbott. (NO Ball-zack Wyld.) Only Dimebag and Buckethead have the balls to play country music, to show people just how shitty the Country musicians and their genre is!

[cockcokc]

just to tell you, a lot of people out there like country, and yous houldn't hate on them because of what you like, and a lot of people hate this kind of music. yous houldn't care whatpeople like and don't judge them because i'm sure they could find a lot of stuff to say about you

[RidleyPhantom]

lol

"Is it Buckethead, the 8th fastest shredder in the world? Or is it Herman Li, the Asian guitarist for Dragonforce who can also play damn fast?"

in MY OPINION, herman li

[ckyvick666]

buckethead is a better player overall, herman li can play fast, but hes not talented like buckethead is..and he ALREADY WON this thing...go check out a buckethead record like monsters and robots or giant robot, instead of listening to that trendy dragonforce crap because everyone else listens to them...

[PezCasper]

Buckethead

Simply because of the multiple styles and the not computer edited.

[dragonforce9098]

herman li is well awsome

hav u eva seen his guitars

[GobBass]

Yeah...because expensive guitars make you a great player...NOT!

Buckethead is a very melodic player,Hermann can play fast..using computers.

[TheMaskedPianist1]

Buckethead hath raped this little pimple. Herman Li is an insignificant little pube on the toilet seat of the guitar world, and shouldn't even be compared to Buckethead.

Beaten by a chicken... how embarassing. Maybe people will now see the true shittiness of TTFAF.

[AnalyticalAvenger]

Herman Li is a funny guy and does some cool stuff, but all his music is totally bogus power metal.

[57u91d]

Big Dragonforce fan. Herman Li is great, but musically Buckethead would win this. Hands down.

[metallicurt]

bucket head only because he can play all styles of guiltar and play it well. herman li is good for what he does. bucket head is good at it all even bass and banjo

[penguin1therapy]

its debatable on whos faster but i think buckethead is a better guitarist i believe that he could play anything and he even has multiple versions of each song he plays look at his live shows compared to his albums and herman li mostly sticks to that one style although both men are amazing at the guitar

[stengah01]

buckethead,hands down..herman li is nothing compared to bucketheads epicness. haha

[fromundaphil]

To be honest both are awesome, but I like the sound of this bucket head feller best. Sorry if you were biased toward the asian feller. this bucket head just seem to have more.... I dont know what you call maybe feeling into what he was Playing. I vote for this bucket head feller.

[Impsters]

Herman Li just shreds.

Buckethead can shred and play every other genre of guitar music very well.

[ralphie900]

no competition...herman li is a joke

he will NEVER be has good a BH

buckethead is an amazing guitar player i hope that one day i will be half as good as he is

[dtarockerdudes]

Whether Herman Li has pedals or not, he's still bad ass. Look at his flippin fingers!

Buckethead is awesome too and easily just as good. His sweet riffs stun me even after listening to them 4 or 5 times. Pure guitar would go to Buckethead, Futuristic/Effect guitar gos to Herman Li

[frostbiteofficial]

both great

[ScreaminyellowStang]

Theres absolutely no competition. Herman Li is just a fag using an array of pedals to make his music sound decent. He cant play anything good live.

[NoHeckingWay]

Both have unique styles. I like both equally xD

[BitDog79]

herman li also has a partner in the dragon force solo so its not just one guitar playing, but both are good.

[luiehiy]

go buckethead! wait who was the other guy? herman ri? never heard of him

[rokr35]

proff got a great point.... research.. i did it

[macster428]

herman li!

[namonamonamonamo]

buckethead,... all the wayy

[bakerdalton]

Herman Li blows...if he didnt have all those pedals and gismoes he wouldnt be so fast... and another thing betcha he cant play all of that shit on his back pickup fags!

[takemahockey]

wouldnt be AS fast?

lol?!?!

pedals make it sound better not enhance speed..

[loislane110]

takemahockey, orangeblud21 is right. If you're using reverb, echo, etc. the echoes make it sound like you're playing faster than you are.

[malefera]

BUCKETHEAD!!

[Orangeblud21]

well bucket heads sound is really diverse and hermana li's is sort of the same and he uses gimmicks like over using effects and going fast(which alot of it is just the keyboard playing behind him and I think a chorus pedal making it seem like hes playing much faster than he really is.)

[proffsetjohan]

Well buckethead acutally owns herman li. The pedal is just making the sound better, tom morello is using it to get these "techno sounds" if you know what i mean. Make your research to not look retarded.

[Sparten1992]

Buckethead is just genuinely better than most guitar players. Especially Herman Li.

[jacob30000]

im going for herman li he is the greatest guitar player in the that's what im thinking

[hugsithebear]

all of herman li's stuff sounds exactly the same...once you've heard one song you've heard all of them plus buckethead has a bucket..what more do you want

[lime991]

Herman Li is way better

[xIMaJoRIx]

Herman Li, that stupid asian sucks dick compared to Buckethead... Dragonforce needs to learn how to play real music, first of all not speed up there music before they can ever COMPETE with a strand of Bucketheads hair!

[eddieq98]

your stupid all of herman lis shit sounds the same.

and hes only really fast thats it hes just a fag

[frybacon]

Buckethead is better, by far. He doesn't use studio equipment to speed up songs like DF.

[ThugNastyBoi]

didn't everyone know? herman li crimps his hair and puts on stilts and becomes buckethead, silly fucks.

[HEAVYMETAL71]

ooopsy i meant thumbs up that cause ya they both sound the same... and both cant play at all

[DChoundman]

what is the deathclock song at the end??

[xXEsPLoVeRXx]

herman li is fucking crazy his riffs are insane.. but repetitive.. almost all the songs dragonforce has it sounds the same. buckethead is insane and he throws in the most random tones and just idk weird noises but it sounds good. so overall i think bucket head is better

[ermac210]

Buckethead Rules :D

[Darkslayer143]

i think thier both good. but people keep saying li's stuff is computer generized. well every artist nowadys uses that. all he dose is add those other lil effects but he dose his ow solos. so if you think he sucks. i want to see you play one of his songs because i know half the people who think he sucks have never picked up a guitar. hes pretty much one of the better guitarist of this time you want to accept it or not.

[tiggxtreme]

The only effect Buckethead uses in most of his songs is a Digitech whammy, he can play his songs lives. Now Dragonforce sucks so hard live that it isn't funny.

[Darkslayer143]

ive seen him play live and he doesnt suck. if anything maybe when they started but right now he plays the same.

[VidGameProductions]

my opinoin is... they both suck equally, to digital and if you want some real music listen to metallica guns n roses black sabbath led zeppelin, being a good guitar player isnt about speed its about chords riffs fitting pieces into pieces.

[thisismesoshutup]

Uhhh....mentioning GnR...I do believe he was in GnR. He replaced Slash, if I can remember correctly?

[alex3330606]

wat

[90XxjmoxbxX90]

ok every1 that said herman li is better, heres somethin 4 u, ur all full of shit. Buckethead doesnt have a band of his own and yet he still sounds better than dragonforce, just so u kno herman li cant play guitar fast, its all done i the studio mixin shit, why do u think all the excuses dragonforce has is that their guitarist is drunk?

and no dont say buckethead does the same thing cuz he doesnt, just listen to nottingham lace live , its exactly the same as the album, not sped up.

[Manmeat05]

buckethead owns..dragonforce can suck a dick

[Morphia90]

they are both great but in my opinion li is just shredding with no feeling,on the other hand buckethead is pouring his soul into the songs,buckethead wins:)

[Ner0xDragoon]

buckethead is deep shit :P

herman li is better in studio...

[HulkWhenAngry]

li sucks live

buckethead is amazing live and in the studio

[ishy245]

herman li wins but bucket head is awsomme aswell

[Carnifex1992]

Nowadays Dforce haters are just a bunch of people following the herd, both are awesome shredders but Herman has the edge!

[ITGZachATTACK]

last I checked he used a s series...

he has the sabre!!!

(lol, lame ibanez joke there)

[Giok8]

herman is the BEST!

[Dragonforce20089]

Naw herman li is better!

[Dragonforce20089]

Both r awesome but bucketheads better!

[Fuzion013]

If you can't play your own songs well live, there is a serious problem.....cough herman li cough......

[BUMAGEDON]

Buckethead is obviously the better guitarist.

He has more variation in music styles,

where all Herman Li does is shred.

[PatronSaint210]

Thats actually not true. Herman isnt always shredding, hes just playing fast as hell. Shredding is just going up and down picking super fast, hes actually playing a song.

[gautski1]

no, shredding is just playing fast.

anyway my vote is deffinitivly for buckethead. Just lissen to the solo in jordan! amazing!

[holidayave]

herman lis solos are computer generated, he shouldnt even be mentioned in the same sentence as buckethead

[Punisher3129]

They are not computer generated. He makes all the sounds. A lot of bands use sythesizers, and thats what you are hearing. But he can make a lot of weird sounds.

[austinj75]

herman li owns him like nothing

[TheNewsTeamAssemble]

FUCK BUCKETHEAD!

[connortius]

herman li is a prick, buckethead is obvi better:D

[zZ6754Zz]

did u no red hot chili peppers auditioned him 4 there band. didnt get in tho. cant say im suprised coz hes not reely there style. fucking amazing guitarist tho. bucketheads solos r more passionate than herman li's. man luv this arangment

[vpxxx]

wait I couldnt catch any meolody in herman li's playing. that doesnt seem good. buckethead ftw!

[bobmonky]

Why Soothsayer first and Dragon Force songs have 2 guitars playing, and Herman Li is not even ranked on any national level of shredders.

[megababyhottis95]

Jimmy Hendrix was god, then there is Steve Vaai and Jimmy Page.. herman li is just litle clown

[Kaboose98]

u guys must be more stupid then u sound. listen to all of dragon forces songs and then listen to bucktehead. Herman Li would kill buckethead if they ever had a real guitar battle. HERMAN LI RULES! Herman Li + guitar = Best guitarist ever!

[Downfall93]

deaf right???

[Timitzii]

I see you don't know anything about guitar... Herman Li has no special techniques, he just shreds and edits the songs in studios... Buckethead has real technique

[NextSlash69]

Buckethead eat hermal for breakfeast :)Buckethead is way, way over above herman li!

[creation23]

Buckethead wins picking up the guitar and not playing anything.

Herman fails.

[fuckingfishfood]

whats the song in the intro?

[fuckingfishfood]

Herman live = shit

Buckethead live = like Studio

[guitarmen66]

BUCKETHEAD, herman can't play live

[Stiffkilla0]

Buckethead all the way son...BUCHETHEAD IS A BEAST!!!!!!!!!!Herman cant play his shit live its all studio work...Buckethead CAN play his music live and it sounds really good.

[naruchiha2323]

herman li sucks dick

[ravenartic]

sure

[EliteSquad01]

FUCK YOU

[RandomoviesAreFun23]

they are both good but i like buckethead better simply because dragonforce is retarded and buckethead is awesome

[MrWiFii]

why people ahte on dragonforce go play one of thier songs thanks

[olefagerli92]

yaeh because dragonforce is really the best band live?

[olefagerli92]

!!!! WTF! herman li is a litle shitty lollipo if you set him upp to this big guitarist!!

[leadguitar625]

dude dragonforce isn't fake your retarded how could they be fake if i saw them in real life

[siimpatiko]

Studio songs don't count

BUCKET HEAD (LIVE) = AWESOME

HERMAN LI  (LIVE) = FAILURE

SO... BUCKETHEAD OWNS.

[leadguitar625]

how do you know dragonforce sucks live

[NXNskater]

lmao... theres this thing called youtube

[leadguitar625]

no i mean live like in real life

[Pol3x]

yes and

BUCKETHEAD (STUDIO) = STILL AWESOME

HERMAN LI (STUDIO) = LIL' COOL BUT FAKE

[siimpatiko]

agreed

[KrnBlackWannabe]

Face it, they're both really good.

[talenstorm]

mhhhhhh! scelta difficile! Forse i solo di herman li sn meno rompiballe di quell'altro ma cm velocità sn uguali!

[0ldcheez]

buckethead wins by far. herman li is good but not as good as buckethead

[chaferboi]

herman rules

[BucketSerj]

Herman can play fast. Thats it. Almost random sounding. Buckethead is the GOD of guitar. He pwns over all.

[DMCMaster550]

Herman can barely actually play any of the fast stuff he does, check out how DF is live they completely suck. And Buckethead is damn good but John Petrucci still stands above the rest

[ReFleash]

Herman Li's solos maybe sounds very good, but when it comes to live show, he cant play one note of the solo! Their songs also have alots of efects in it, many Pedals are being used. So dragonforce cant play their songs live... Thats VERY sucky. Like Through The Fire And Flames :P.

[ChipmunkForEver]

As if Buckethead didn't use pedals :P But Buckethead pwnds Herman

[jcall7]

so tom morello uses lots of pedals and can write a good solo

[RaabBlog]

without pedals, all songs would have the same effect and sound the same. pedals arent a bad thing at all.

[heroforce4]

Buckethead is the gayest guitarist ever who the hell needs a mask and a bucket on there head he probably has herpies on his face.... GO herman li screw bucket-queerbag

[6j6o6e]

You're such a fuckbag.

Grow up.

[petreamurg]

BUCKETHEAD! nothing against Lee but buckethead is just another league.

[usa884]

dude its herman li not herman lee and herman is whey beter

[gotnoodle]

get the fuck out dragonforce boy, you cannot compare herman li to buckethead.

[KIRAyagami610]

word buckethead is awesome!

[BigBrothersWatching2]

wow, idiot. do you know anything about guitar?

[led167]

...seriously who the fuck compares Herman Li to Buckethead...

no contest Buckethead FTW

[hummerh2dude]

Dude what the hell! Buckethead should not even be compared to Herman Li, if u think Herman Li is better or close to being as good as buckethead, than u dont know **** ,to a lot of you u should listen to buckethead more.. ur missing out hundreds of great songs

[USERNAMEKLEMPTOR]

they are BOTH GOD

I JUST CANT CHOOSE WHO

[tapoutbones94]

Buckethead!!!

herman li is cool to

but still Buckethead!!!

[NUJester]

herman li sucks monkey balls

buckethead plays way cleaner and faster

dragonforce just sounds like power rangers music and they just edit their sounds hard as hell and cant play shit live

besides herman li messes up 2 much

[Panchito7485]

BUCKETHEAD IS GOD.

[superomegaG]

DUDE Herman Li is a guitar god he play through the fire and flames where bucket head is a rebound guitarist or trash that was picked up.

[Royerskater1015]

Stop embarrassing yourself by making fun of Buckethead......

[Surferdud50]

dude u fucking have no clue what ur talking about herman li is shit he cant even play is own songs, he just plays as fast as he can to cover up his pathetic guitar playing. buckethead fucking shits over herman li any day because he can actually play guitar

[TheBombFactory]

You don't know shit about guitar herman li is god at swipes and he does play his own songs you dumb fuck his songs are TWO Guitarist you faggot bitch learn your facts

[Surferdud50]

Have u fuckin even heard him live you get ur fuckin facts straight herman li is shit full stop. i reckon buckethead could play dragonforce songs better than herman li so dont go off fuckin thinking herman. Buckethead plays music herman li plays shit so fuck u, u faggot bitch of a fucktard

[yogurtmonkey]

wow harsh words do you suck your dads dick with that mouth?

[sgtck9]

your just jelous your not asian and have mad skillz

[cultofbluezeppelins]

hahahaha i think im part asian and i hate herman li so...

[monzamago]

Herman is the best... the best... he... the best

[AlexCharlier805]

umm..herman li sucks

[CrazyStuffStudios]

Absolutely not. Every Herman Li solo sounds like TTFATF.

[intodusk]

exactly, power rangers. incredibly gay, need more be said? herman li is terrible haha, and at least buckethead can demonstrate his material.

Dragonforce vs Buckethead? WHADAFUXUP. lol...this vid is ten times worse than the bucket vs slash vid, both buckethead completely takes the win.

[Elvon98]

buckethead is the best... the best... he... the best....
