[beamerdylan]

@MrTheCrescent

@deeppurge wtf

[deeppurge]

@microkorg100 i know, my life sucks!!!

[Dy1anandLouis]

wow



[06a09]

no1 fucks with killerbuckeye. end of ;)

[tanvo93]

guitar player isnt bad but dragon force as a band are jsut very blane simple uncreative..but it aint as band as that deathcore stuff thats out

[LeVictoriaLovesJosh]

@tanvo93 I laughed. Here, I'll help you out a little bit. "But it ISN'T as BAD as Deathcore." There. Now, You're saying that Dragonforce is better than the entire Deathcore genre? Is that because "shredding" generic solos is cool...? Or are you just completely stupid. You're one narrow minded, possible one-track minded, person. Have you heard every single Deathcore band out there? NO, so don't bash it. Dragonforce sings about retarded random shit. While most Deathcore bands talk about God...

[tanvo93]

@LeVictoriaLovesJosh ok typo..no i fucken hate dragonforce they are uncreative generic and recessive..i fucken hate deathcore 2 cuz its fucken generic uncreative and recessive..yes ive listened to a fuck load of deathcore bands and as a result its the new pop..n yes christian deathcore thats fucken awsome rite?fuck no its just bullshit its how all scene kids are they wanna be hardcore but also care what others think about them.im not simple minded i listen to a shit load of music

[tanvo93]

@LeVictoriaLovesJosh (read other comment) also a day to remember isnt cool creative or good music..all deathcore is,....is riff breakdown riff all in one key of course o yea and guess what the vocalist sings in one key that makes for a real creative tune right?i listen to from hardcore metal classical jazz n rock (mainly, as well as some foriegn influences) u cant tell me im simple or narrow minded but i pick up the most creative thought out bands from every genre

[LeVictoriaLovesJosh]

@tanvo93 A Day To Remember is also a Pop Punk band Mr. :) You know shit by the sounds of it :P

[tanvo93]

@LeVictoriaLovesJosh yup yup pop punk its ridiculous..haha green day actually think they are non conformists haha i laughed my ass off when i heard that shit..like dude they are pop..if ur tryin to be dark cuz everyone else is doing it then ur just conforming..idiots haha

[LeVictoriaLovesJosh]

@tanvo93 Green Day isn't trying to be dark. They just write music with meaning. I hate them but, they're also not "pop punk" They're like... Emo/Rock or Alternative. Lol. Keep up with the dates.

[tanvo93]

@LeVictoriaLovesJosh same thing write? and making emo rock is tryin to be dark..but trendy dark

[microkorg100]

@tanvo93 : ( i like adtr

its fun music to me

[igormegasxlr]

[aaronisdank]

@aaronisdank shut up

[J03Y13]

I like how any given one of the judges has more views on their videos than this contest got. lol

[synysterwylde627]

i hate how musicman1066 is a judge JUST because he put out his own song. his songs alright and hes good but i dont think he should be a judge

[jackfenderrox]

Perfectly agree, hes good, but standing next to jack thammarat hes in way over his head.

[Guitarmajster]

@synysterwylde627 I was just thinking the same thing, I mean 4 yrs of guitar experience isnt much

so what time tomorrow can we expect the results? we talking midnight, just to keep us all in that extra little bit of suspense??

I really want to know who the judges think is the best, and I hope I agree with them.

there have been a some names mentioned alot in peoples top threes who i think only score in one of the the 3 required fields.

I do hope someone with melody, phrasing and character wins.

if a scale grinder wins then all my hope for humanity will be lost :(

[2pacdragonforce]

fletcherbarton

[TheVymroth]

wow so many comments marked down and marked as spam..

[Tomastheskater]

did anyone else notice that herman li wrote with his left hand but plays guitar right handed?

[viddelt]

yes, hes a lefty :)

[187Guitarplayer]

i commented that here a few weeks ago.. but i'm writing with my left an playing with my right, too..

[musicman1066]

Just to let people know: having an Ibanez won't actually influence how you do judging wise!

[arpeggiosfromhell666]

what songs are playing in the background??

[AnguiheroSolo]

apparently, you do not know respect

and well, finally after all this is a contest for guitarists, and problems should be arranged well here, with guitars in hand.

perhaps you may seem immature, but I incite you to a duel

can be two videos, in which each choose their conditions and prove if your ego is bigger than the unchangeable truth.

and so may not stay as just a braggart. thanks, and please learn to respect a country.

[buffhockey47]

lol wow that guitar playing by herman in the begin actually didn't sound like total shit

[bubblewrap38]

Does any one know if there is a tab or anything to play the fucking awesome riff at the start of the vid?? i love it so much :D

[DionMarinos]

do you mean the first 10 seconds or?

[bubblewrap38]

yea the first 10 seconds, with the sweep picking and pinch harmonic at the end

[RapWorldz]

I took a look at almost every entries out there. There's alot of VERY good musicians! But personnally, my favorite is the entry by NeoGeoFanatic , by far. If you havent looked at him , please go for it lol.

[MrLeedsman]
