@@THCLK I think it just depends on what you play. I can’t shred, but I can jam and play rock and pop just fine. Cause that’s what I do. I don’t practice what it takes to play fast
My 60-something year old neighbour surprised me the other week when we were talking about music and I told him I liked Dragonforce. Firstly - he had heard of them and secondly he didn't think I was weird for liking them. 😁
That was pretty good for being written in 5 minutes. I love how the chat is sitting there saying it sucks when they probably couldn't even write a song if they had a whole month to do it.
I don't know his chat, but the worst thing any streamer or UA-camr could do is take random internet warrior nonsense personal and serious. Just ignore them. Let the trolls die of starvation and let the bullies "keyboard-murder" each other.
Yeah I was reading it and holy shit, they just hate absolutely everything he says and doesn't say. I really don't understand how Herman can be so chill yet his chat is so childish, usually people like this express their hate in a hateful environment, not in some nice guy's stream.
Your opinion on metal guitar will always be valid. Your sick on the guitar and dragon force made a lot of guitar players interested in fast playing again.
Realistically, Herman knows that. The haters will hate and there will always be a little piece of us that doubts ourselves, but Herman certainly embraces the believer in himself. :)
lol good joke i heard once... How many guitarists does it take to change a lightbulb? 20... One to actually change the bulb, another 19 to stand there with their arms folded saying they could do it better.
Herman’s face while watching Bradley sing is killing me he looks like one of those master teachers that just gives you that look when you do something wrong
I have never been a Dragonforce fan (not because I don't like them or anything it was just a bit after my time in a way), but I always find Herman Li absolutely incredible in his musicianship and willingness to interact with the fanbase. Great inspiration to the musical masses Herman and thanks very much for this video. P.s Some love to Bradley Hall as well haha.
Geez twitch chat was unbelievably cringe in this one. They were living under a rock, Bradley Hall is a beast of a musician and massive in the youtube/guitar scene. Wanted to slap chat so bad.
I thought the missing lyric was “whoa.” Intro, verse, chorus, verse, chorus, bridge, solos, whoas, chorus, chorus but in a different key, intro again, Pac-Man and squeedlies. Love it. When he started doing these it immediately made me think of you and Sam writing songs for other bands.
@@griffinwarner7310 yeah I loved his old stuff but it's like he's trying to hard these days. Once he quit his job when he starting earning enough from UA-cam is when the quality control took a dive. I couldn't imagine the pressure of becoming a fulltime UA-camr though, its bound to play a part in your videos when you're trying to keep the views up.
dude "Humble Herman" These two seem like the very best round of beer and music talk to ever be a part of. Brad fuckin rips too. love this shit from both of you.
Yes! I also think Battlelore could make a great video game score, oh and let's have Odious make a Dark Souls OST if they made one based in Egypt because their songs that use a choir give me Dark Souls vibes for some reason.
I'd say a band like Machinae Supremacy is a million times more 'videogame metal'. Their Empire of Steel song for example. But they have literally made dozens of songs that ended up in videogames. Very good band actually.
lol I died at his power stance in the boxer briefs, and then he started going off beat, but still kept the power stance.. I don’t know why I’ve never seen this dudes page
I think it's so awesome that you do videos like this. I think if I were a good enough guitar player and put up a video like this and had you react to it, I would go crazy. Interacting with your fans in this way is wonderful :D
Someone actually said his timings off when he was doing the drums...... he's playing it on a keyboard and needs it done in 30 seconds. Apparently Hermans chat are a bunch of humorless arseholes
@@Jordo246 Right? It's not "writing a 5 minute Dragonforce song" it's "5 minutes to record multiple instruments in a single take while trying to have a song length just barely long enough for people to get which band you're parodying." The entire concept is ridiculous and supposed to result in a trainwreck every time, if anything it's wildly impressive how good many of his improvised first takes are.
Herman he cracks me up and the way that embraces the meme of DragonForce is amazing and I love it because once someone can make fun of something they love this shows that he has no ego surrounding the band but he does correct bas musical times and sounds but that is granted when at the same time to me is a guitar and musical god. He is a perfect force of amazing and funny and perfect and all this together keeps me coming back!
Herman I like that V shaped body guitar hanging in the background that is black with the green wall outside lines and green ☠️ just under the fret board it's sick
I missed out and they discontinued it before I could get one so I pre-ordered the hexed as soon as they went up on Sweetwater. I won't make that mistake again.
Dungeon Synth came from Black Metal.. « the trve kvlt elite. » People consider that genre « videogame music » now. Music is music.. ignore the support/media.
Bruh Herman’s chat is hilarious to watch, bunch of trolls who wouldn’t be able to write and record a Dragonforce knockoff if they had weeks and actual riffs planned out, absolute keyboard warriors
@DragonForce Don't forget the pause at the second to last verse with just the Slowed Rythmn (Now here we stand with their blood on our hands We fought so hard, now can we understand I'll break the seal of this curse if I possibly can For freedom of every man) then Launch back in to the ending...
I love how Herman Li has singlehandedly become DragonForce himself.
HermanForce
He's actually the best streamer in the band.

Its not a Dragonforce song without those 2 words...disappointed... 😟
No "sands of time" = not a DF song.
@@blackcitadel37 hallowed be thy name is a df song now, sorry maiden
My answer was actually there are no "woah-ohs". Gotta have the woah-ohs.
Herman's chat makes Overwatch and League of Legends chat look like Animal Crossing chat.

"It's a Dragonforce song it isn't that difficult to do." Fuckin' killing me 🤣🤣🤣
It's not like a Dream Theater

This song is still better than mgk
That was pretty good for being written in 5 minutes. I love how the chat is sitting there saying it sucks when they probably couldn't even write a song if they had a whole month to do it.
They're the definition of keyboard warriors. Big mouth, nothing behind it. But really fucking annoying.
Guarantee you half of them have never written one in their life, yet they have such strong, unfounded criticism to give.
Most of the chat doesn’t even play guitar, they’re just kids who watch streamers and act like they do honestly.
90% of them have nevee touched an instrument in their lives, and the 10% who have suck
Man, I didnt realise Hermans chat was so damn toxic.. welcome to the internet I guess :(. Glad Herman himself isnt toxic and appreciates the video!
Was thinking the exact same thing, its a shame really 😭

Do you actually read those chat bars? I don't even notice they are there, I just completely ignore them.
Nah chat isn't that bad you are just soft.

He inspires me to quit
When did guitar players ever lose interest in fast playing?

Calling DragonForce "videogame metal" just makes me think about how much I would pay to see you guys score a video game someday.
Yes! I also think Battlelore could make a great video game score, oh and let's have Odious make a Dark Souls OST if they made one based in Egypt because their songs that use a choir give me Dark Souls vibes for some reason.
They already did. Guitar Hero and Rock Band.
I'd say a band like Machinae Supremacy is a million times more 'videogame metal'. Their Empire of Steel song for example. But they have literally made dozens of songs that ended up in videogames. Very good band actually.
I have heard my favorite band to be called "Disney metal" for couple decades.
They did for guitar hero and rock back yo

Herman Li is a very cool and nice person, and he has amazing guitar playing skills and he makes awesome speed metal!
Herman's such a pro he even warms up for reaction faces!
I think it's so awesome that you do videos like this. I think if I were a good enough guitar player and put up a video like this and had you react to it, I would go crazy. Interacting with your fans in this way is wonderful :D

Unban me😅
Lmao and I thought him reacting to Brad's TTFAF but backwards video was cool enough. This is awesome!
Quest for beans! 🤣 Hermans facial expressions, priceless! 🤣😂💀
My boi Herman here being so wholesome... I wish I could give both him and Bradley a big hug, you guys are so talented!!
Haha, you're ad for your dog hat is fantastic!
That solo from Herman at the end!!!! Great musician!

That's actually an Alexi Laiho signature guitar, his band, Children of Bodom is awesome, you should totally listen to them
looks like about half of herman's twitch subs do not understand the concept of a joke.
I like how he showed the group pic with Stevie T. in it!
Herman has a great attitude. It is refreshing to see people shrug of criticism.
Bradley's speed runs are freaking awesome...............
He's got some beautiful guitars in the background. He should show them off sometime.
Lol you can see Herman really enjoying it. Bradley is so fucking funny!
Even as someone who's not a big fan of Dragonforce, I knew he was missing a "far away". My disappointment is indeed immeasurable.
And your day is ruined
You are a legend bro, from Tasmania Australia love your shit🤟🤟🤟🤟
I have that Alexi V in the background..Great guitar
Greeeeeeny!💚
i also have one.. in my dreams HAHAHAHA
I missed out and they discontinued it before I could get one so I pre-ordered the hexed as soon as they went up on Sweetwater. I won't make that mistake again.
Herman you’re too humble 😂 really said “he’s pretending it’s difficult”
You should react to him playing “Through the Fires and Flames Backwards”.
I'm so proud of you Bradley
Vocals, a minute left, SO FAR AWAAAY!
The best part of this whole thing is Herman's face while Brad is singing!
I like how he can just keep him self from teaching about how to compose through the flame and fire ahhaha
AAHAHAHAHH funny video and awesome you gave him a shout out... good shit man.
I applaud you keeping a straight face until 12m45 Herman. Well done. :D
And BTW i discover you band recently and ... ohhh my gosh you guys are awesome
The man's underoos are top notch. Let well enough alone Her;man!!
The most important lyric is "For Glory"
Herman bro what a humble man you are
Did this guy just get the world record speedrun for the Metal genre? Neat.
Toxic chat goddamn
It's pretty dope the extra lead you added. Try to mix it in their with "far away"
I love that Herman digs it. Awesome
Yeah, he's missing "far away" and blackened sky" for the vocals.
Bradley Hall rules and kick some a... 😂😂😂
Guys does DragonForce music*
Herman li: where the fuck is the far awaaaaaAAAAAaaaaaaaaY
Love the improvised solo herman li did at the end! Great video🤟⚡

Warming up properly for reaction videos is so important. Too many UA-camrs forget about this. 👍
What
Is like Weird Al Yankovic but with shreding abilities, nice video, both of you.
I haven't realized till now that Bradley looks like Sam Totman
I'm more interested in that sick guitar mounting setup in the back, is that magnetized and you just slap the guitar on there??? Gotta get one of those
Hermen smirked when he said A E F and G LOL 😆
I love how charming and constructive you are.
"It's not like he's doing a Dream Theater Song..." LOL
I get a chuckle every time DT comes up
8:40 when Herman Li admits his songs aren't overly complicated.
6:05 in and HL has me laughing my a$$ off. What a great man
I think you'll find he has already done dream theatre in 5 minutes.
"The key to the city has already been given away" got my sub. Haha

Speak for yourself, bub
I fucking lost it when he said he was missing far away I was literally thinking that.
Love Herman great player awesome person!!!
_Really high screeching about like mountains and fire and stuff_ 🤣
Bradley's tomfoolery has made it to DragonForce!
LOL with all the sillines and stuff, that was pretty good
Loved the warmup exercise
Awesome! Herman you kick ass!
"Far away" true enough. But it's definitely not a power metal song without "forevermore"!!
FAR AWAY
Couldn't help but notice that Herman has one of Alexi Laiho's guitars in the background
@DragonForce Don't forget the pause at the second to last verse with just the Slowed Rythmn
(Now here we stand with their blood on our hands
We fought so hard, now can we understand
I'll break the seal of this curse if I possibly can
For freedom of every man)
then Launch back in to the ending...
"how many swords on fire made of dragons on fire with fire on fire can we get?"
Hermanli then sets it on fire with a outrageous flamed lick
I'm commenting because Herman is my favorite metal uncle. You are a headbanger!
