Thank you for inviting me to Shred Talk Herman! I had a great time talking with you and jamming together 🙏🎸👽
Alien recommendations. 🤘🤘🤘
Love you Lucas man. Been a long time fan.
This was awesome, I've always had your back man. People can just be really shitty. Gonna have to go on Twitch and watch the full stream.
Btw: I can't understand why so many people didn't know how a backing track works🤣. Glad you're back bro🤘.
Can’t wait to see you on tour agin your show at gas monkey in Dallas was literally the best show Iv ever been too!
You're a bloody legend mate, fuck the haters. Jared Dines is a jealous idiot, and mega cringe.
Lucas Mann: *Gets accused of being fake*
Herman: "First time?"
Lmao true
But for real, Jared was an absolute dickhead to Lucas. They were (not sure if they still are) good friends, so I really don't know why he'd throw the poor guy under the bus. There was no reason whatsoever for him to make a full-blown callout video - they could've at LEAST talked it out first, but nope, Lucas lost an endorsement and even got death threats - but Lucas handled the accusations perfectly. Jared's now-private apology was so half-assed, and the follow-up DMs shown in Lucas's debunk video reeked of narcissism. "Don’t lie to ME. That hurts more than anything.” Gross.
The only fake thing here is Jared's personality. What a loser.
@@DRDynamyte_ They're all good now
@@DavidNwokoye They are? That’s nice to hear I guess, but it doesn’t undo what Jared did. If I were Lucas, I’d never forgive that asshat
@@DRDynamyte_ Way more people than Jared were calling it out. Lucas put up a video of him playing a guitar, except he clearly wasn't playing it, it was all background tracks (you hear the picking but Lucas is tapping in it). For whatever reason, you can't her Lucas Mann's guitar at all in that video. The whole thing was really weird, Lucas admitted it was weird but he just uploaded the video and didn't look too much into it and people kinda moved on...
@@njl4515 Right, but Jared was the one who escalated the situation to a whole new level. To send your audience as an angry mob towards someone else without proof that they’re actually faking is the lowest you can go. It got Jared nowhere, it really damaged Lucas’s reputation, and it made them both bad, especially Jared, since he’d stoop so low to bother pointing it out
This stream was recorded in half time
Great video. Hearing you both open up about your negative experiences and how it has made you both stronger! Inspiring!
I may not listen to a lot of Rings of Saturn. But I gotta admit. Lucas is a brilliant guitar player and a really nice guy that isn't afraid to show those haters/elitists how wrong they are about his play style.
Herman and Sam are both brilliant as well. Always have been one of my favourite duo's in metal.
I have literally backed up Lucas when he took a break even messaging him and letting him know I'm a fan and he is a legend in my eye's. I love Lucas he is legit as a person and should be treated with respect just like anyone else should be
Good on you🤘 Before all this shit happened, we were chillin with him before a show and he was showing my guitarist how he plays some of his most gnarly riffs. No amp or anything. So I always knew it was BS. Also it trips me out that people (especially those involved with music and playing live gigs) don't know how backing tracks and a silent stage work in a smaller club setting. Depending on where you stand, all you may hear is a backing track. As soon as I saw that video I just laughed. It's just really shitty how people treated the guy, especially supposed friends whom are also musicians(wont say any names). They of all people should have understood what was going on in that video, but I think most of them were just being disingenuous and trying to get those precious drama clicks. Anyway, Im just glad the guy is back and doing what he loves.
@@xenophagia 🤘🤘
🤘🤘Nice job man!
This really hit home with me. There's always going to be nasty petty people in the world who need to tear other people down in order to feel better about themselves. Keep shredding, keep kicking ass because both of you guys are what the world needs right now even if we don't always deserve you.
4:30 Lucas did exactly that to me. His playing has encouraged me to practice more complicated techniques with efficiency, like sweeping, tapping, etc. I legit would not be the player I am today without Lucas so thank you Lucas for passing on the inspiration to me and many others 🙏🏻
Is in the middle of deep conversation:
SUDDEN SHRED
Herman Li joins Twitch/UA-cam to shred the trolls to pieces and then ends up helping bring together the entire guitar community ❤️❤️
Agree
Idk, Lucas barely played. More like exposing "over reliant on tech" shredders.
@@Don-jh4fp Might want to watch the actual stream. UA-cam videos are trimmed and edited for time.
@@BigDatsquatch still won't matter. I also shredd and I shredd really well especially with my obsolete equipment. Take their gear away and let's find out who can really shredd is all I mean.
@@Don-jh4fp If gear has nothing to do with it.
It seems you're trying to prove or overreach on something here which is a bit sad.
This video is a pretty good commentary on the fact that metalheads and metal musicians are *nothing* like each other.
Bring Dean from Archspire, Chris Broderick or M. Romeo :)
Michael Romeo!!!!
Dean is such a cool dude
@@kraterkop totally and a monster on guitar!
Seconded for Dean Lamb
Please bring Romeo on, that would be fucking epic.
For every 1 asshole you deal with, there’s 1000s of fans who love you. The bad stuff might make you step back but always remember millions of us respect your god level skills and music which has motivated so many people to pick up their guitar ❤️
I love how you can see the genuine joy on Herman's face when Lucas mentions that Herman and Dragonforce was his first concert plus a huge influence.
By Haters do you mean Jared Dines.
Lol right.......... U mean hater. ;)
Because he can't play like Lucas, jared sucks
There was more than just him, but he's the one who took it to another level for clicks. Out of everyone, you would think he would be the one to understand what was going on in that video and had his "friends" back. You would assume he would know what playing with backing tracks, on a silent stage, in a smaller club venue can do to the sound depending on where you're standing. I think Jared was just being disingenuous though. Those DM's he was sending was some disgusting and manipulative shit. I'm glad the issue is dead now and people have a better understanding. The best part is that Lucas is out there having fun again.
Nah Jared doesn’t suck. He’s better than most at several instruments. He’s just not a virtuoso like a lot of these guys
@@KylePBass Jared reaaaallyy improved over the last 5 years. Pretty impressive actually!
I remember I posted a video on UA-cam of me and my friends playing a song. Everyone was commenting on how fat I was. It sucked. I was only 14 years old. That kind of stuff sticks with you for a long time. People online are real people! Be kind!
Yeah, people can be shitty. Just understand that they are trying to make themselves feel better about their own shortcomings. For every asshole like that, there are tons of others who see your talent and appreciate you for you. So just keep shredding and doing your thing. Don't let other's pull you down, no matter how hard it can be🤘
Get over it and be better
Have loved DForce and RoS since the beginning. Props to both of you.
I went to that same tour Lucas is talking about, I believe HORSE the band opened for them both.
Haha I loved Horse the band.
Cut. Cut. Cut cut!
@@thanebear Horse the Band are finally releasing some new stuff! They are pretty active on instagram.
Lucas Mann is such a talented guitarist. It is amazing to see two incredible guitarists just chatting when there’s so much talent
The best guitar player’s is someone who can play and who can create a hook that pulls people into your beautiful art and work and songs
50 seconds in and giving this a huge thumbs up! Nice to hear a pro even notices how volatile the guitar world can be. Herman is a breath of fresh air with this channel, nothing but good vibes and fun!
It would be super easy for us all without haters we’re facing them each and every day.. let’s just ignore them!! cool video Herman!!!
Rings Of Saturn is so sick live!! I saw them at a really small gig in Philly when they just released their second album, ‘Dingir’, and they were opening for Jungle Rot, Exhumed, and Suffocation. They friggin’ rocked the house AND they had a bassist playing with them at the time! I met Sean (the bassist), he was a really cool guy to talk to. Awesome stream, Herman!!
Really important stories here, thanks so much for sharing!
Agreed. Dali isn't better than Picasso. Entirely different styles. Is Maiden better than Bach? To simply ask the question misses the point by a long shot. It directly translates to music as far as comparing art forms. I suck at bass like a toddler sucks at water colors. It's open to interpretation, but only to an extent. Pro photographer vs. someone with an iPhone. You can tell the difference, especially when people pay good money for one and not the other. Fascinating.
If Herman Li dosent get invited dis year to Jared's yearly shred Collab....I'm quitting UA-cam
Lucas' facial expression 9:48 onwards I can't cope ahahahahaha
I really could hear the dragonforce type of sound with the new gidim instrumental song, where it's almost sounds like a stream of sound rather than individual notes. It brings a whole new meaning to crazy sounding guitar once you reach those levels, and I really appreciate that we could get back to that level with more than just dragonforce
You two are great musician, and also has good personality, respect for you two man
i took acid at a rings of saturn show at the trocadero in philly holy shit dude lucas gave me a shout out for being maniac
I love lucas mann, I got to talk to him for a hot minute after a show in my place, and he has inspired me more then anyone else, I hope lucas sees this I love you man
THIS SHINING CITY BUILT OF GOLD
A far cry from innocence
There's more than meets the eye around here
Look to the waters of the deep
destroy in an hour
THE BEAST AND THE HARLOT
Love both the bands!
Hope to see them live again in the future, unfortunately I've seen Rings Of Saturn last year without Lucas.
FU*KING LEGENDS! (independently if you like them or not)
Thanks for sharing your stories, Herman and Lucas.
Could you make a video with Thomas mcrocklin?
Hasn't he lready has McRocklin on his program?
How do they manage to play together? I imagine the internet delay would mess things up.
I have this question also
His twitch bot says they have some proprietary software, my theorycrafting has that as a piece of software that synchronises the backing track on both of their machines by referencing an atomic clock somewhere (or some other constant). If the backing track is in sync, it wouldnt be hard for the players to play together
Lucas is a good dude. Just keep doing what you do . You are an inspiration to a lot of players including me. Mad respect man
I've been play guitar for 20 years, I know what you guys are playing is being played, also people don't understand I technology it is used, including lag and which guitar their hearing and so on. I have seen you guys at venues where stage is one foot or two foot high so you're right up there in the front and any video I've recorded of your shows is obviously you and the band playing. If you look at Tosin Abasi, everybody was saying that he couldn't play that clean which obviously isn't the case either. The shit needs to stop with this. I seen other bands and I won't name them where it's obviously sampled over. I think you should repost this video again because the sort of stuff doesn't get better so I appreciate you putting something out like this. 🤘
Awesome Herman and Lucas you guys rock!
you are fantastic!
but how do you both play synchronized to the base? there are no latency problems?
They're too good to suffer that kind of issues
This was awesome. Both guitar players should be admired for their skills and all the people accusing them faking their music... they're just so damn ridiculous. I don't know what the accusers were smoking :D But you know the words... haters gonna hate. Jealousy is and will always be a powerful feeling and also a powerful "asset" to let out their negative energies and unleash those on others.
Btw I love both bands, I've listened to lots of DF several years ago, but a few years ago the melodies (of DF, RoF, and mostly, Helloween melodies and riffs) just started repeating in my mind... which actually hindered me in my work :D I'm a translator and for some reason, the guitar and vocal melodies were always going on in my mind and I could barely work. So I had to give up on melodic music and that's when I found Infant Annhilator and then Rings of Saturn. RoS is what saved my job :D The riffs and the faster melodies are very catchy for my ears, but not so much that I can't work, so I'm really grateful.
Not to mention their lyrics, I totally feel what the songs are about - and I'm not talking about the "primer" lyrics about aliens but about the deeper layers about the devastation the humankind created in a blink of the eye and being a pain in the ass for the planet and the environment due to our destructive nature. These stuff kick ass and bringing in the aliens to solve the humankind-issue, it's epic.
So, thanks Herman and Lucas and all the other guys in the DF and RoS!
Thank you guys for the positivity! Its really horrible how people can be.
i love you and i really appreciate the positivity that you spread we really need it in this community
You are both great players. Just keep rocking and ignore all the negative shit.
we need videos like this one !!!!!!!!!!!!!
More videos like this please. its very inspirational
The music for the final fight with K Rool in DK Country was straight up power metal. i remember just pausing the game and listening to that song over and over when I was like 10 years old
Both cool ass dudes! Take their advice!
Two great Musicians and Two Great Humans!!!
Lol when Lucas Mann was shredding, Herman Li was like "wtf is this, it's so fast, it doesn't match up with my fast melodic solos how".
The stream was streamed at half speed
Lucas is amazing!
"You are always no1 for you" this is excatly what i follow in my life..
I haven't seen herman shred a PRS before! Sounds great on it!
EXCITEDLY!
I guess untalented jealous people just can't appreciate great guitarists... sad. These guys are huge inspirations, respect! \m/
you seem like the nice guitarist ever, great work love what you do. subscribed
MY TWO FAVORITE GUITARISTS IN ONE STREAM
Oooo Herman Li You are great!!
this guy is on another level... Lucas one of the best guitar players ever. 2 legends here.
For every bad person there is a good one who will bring y'all up
it must be a full time job to keep al of herman's guitars set up
shoutout megaman x
Lucas you're awesome, man. Herman, great show!
Herman, you should try out Berried Alive, please and thanks! :)
So messed up how some people can be, it is lonely at the top since everyone else is trying to bring you down but props to you both for rising above the 🐂 💩
On just a personal level, I hope you're doing well now after taking the break you needed, Lucas.
Holy Shitballs that’s a. 9 string :0 holy fuck!
Now with Charles Casswell from Berried Alive :D
Hell yeah! 🔥😁
4 dislike might be the 4 who called herman's house, the guy who tried to pickup Herman's friend, the guy who tried to burn Herman's hair, and the other might be just a pure hater coz his life sucks
Get Caputo in the Spotify pic, c'mon! :) Two good people talking the good stuff.
I personally can't believe how stupid some people are that they hear something like rings of saturn and how amazing every damn song is and they have to basically deny that it's real and try and outcast someone like Lucas Mann when they should want to be near him and learn and at the very least let him know how fucking mind blowing his playing is. Any other reaction is unacceptable. I remember being a kid and seeing people that are so good at there instrument was what made music so special to me, the mind set of seeing greatness and having to deny it and put it down is a disgusting horrible human trait and anyone who does that should be the ones ridiculed. How dare they have any affect on my favorite band. I'm super passed off cause I heard rings of saturn was playing in my tiny little town in oregon like 3 days after my birthday and I thought yeah right, like that would ever happen. Then I saw tickets for sale and I lost my shit! More stoked I could not have been. Then on show day I see Ian and Aaron and holy shit miles Dimitri baker (being a guitar player myself I have watched countless hours of miles and Lucas on UA-cam and love every min) I can't belive I'm seeing this in my shithole town, but I keep looking for Lucas, finally I buy a round of beers and shots for the band so I can work my way into a conversation and hopefully an autograph on my many pieces of r.o.s. merch. I sadly find out Lucas won't be playing that night, I was bummed but hey I still get to see rings. It was epic show epic night and If those assholes that talk shit about Lucas was the reason I didn't get to see him that night then man they all owe me big time. Just thought I would share that. Anyways love what you do Mr. Mann I hope to see it live one day. Thanks for making my life better with your madness and If I ever hear anyone talking any kind of shit about you or the band then I put them in there place and I'm a pretty big dude. I got your back.
The thought of that guy trying to pick up the girl by saying I'm a better guitar player. Girls don't care about guitar nerdery haha.
Ikr🤣 Dude would have just looked like a drunk jackass.
I do think there are girls that are impressed with a guy that does some fine guitar playing, or just about anything, if the guy does it well.
If she a music chick maybe,
How did hermliy do the flame and fire the guitar got throw his body
Extreme Power Metal with Tech Death yehea.
Brendon Small would be awesome on the channel.
Lucas seems like a really genuine guy and I always agree with a lot of what he says. Negative reinforcement is much more effective for me as well. I think positive reinforcement is only really effective is you have trust in the people giving those compliments, whereas it doesn't matter who is spewing the negativity.
Also, goddamn Herman, someone tried to light your hair on fire?!?! Like Lucas said, where the hell is the common decency? Take care of your mental health people!
Lucas needs to practice what hes preaching those who actually know him know he is an evil person.
I will add that most haters can't even play a guitar!! or any instrument lol
I would die for a ttfaf cover by rings
lol the thumbnail got me, i thought it was sarah longfield
2:39 I love that subtle dig at Davie504. Here's another band with no bassist :)
He is talking about Tosin Abasi there, not about stupid davie.
🤟
I'm surprised you don't have a reaction to "DragonForce - Through The Fire And Flames (Cover by RADIO TAPOK | Евгений Егоров - Эпидемия)" it turned out very good and funny clip. Video itself starts from 0-53, before that advertising integration
I must say: musicially i'm not into rings of saturn but lucas mann is truly an inspiration -as a human being. honestly I do remember your reaction video back then, your approach after all the shit with jared, being able to be the truly bigger man and still cooperate with him and still not being bitter ,angry or sad but you were so calm and addressed every issue so lucas mann - i wish i was a bit like you...
You should featuring MATT ZULEGER from SHADES OF BLACK :)
awesome 😊
If There Are No Obstacle On Your Path, Its The Wrong Path ;)
Good video.
Look at that FUCKING PRS 😐🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Let's not mention in flames, killswitch, all that remains, unearth and ect.
Maybe sprinkle in some overcast, shadows fall and dream theater.
Shredding faces !!!!l😉🤗
❤
Great
skip to 14:40 if u want to hear musiuc
My man sounds like John Petrucci
Should have broken out in the "Tornado Of Souls" solo as the chord progression was the same.
🤘🍻🤘
Remember how a certain Jared was doubting Lucas Mann's integrity as a skilled guitarist? Yeah, that happened.
Yyyep, I remember everything. Jared’s a dick.
He did the same to the main guitarist in Unprocessed, saying something like "hands don't move like that" in regards to his fast/percussive picking style. Jared needs to lay off the hater/jealousy sauce a bit. I heard him and Lucas at least made up but that doesn't erase his pattern of behavior still.
Exactly. I’m surprised he still has a huge fanbase because the Lucas ordeal went pretty big. He’s an idiot.
Nice
