Thats the way it is, it only works out for very few.

Yep, got it in one.

Maybe so, but there's videos of him playing it at the correct speed, with no mistakes. To do it even once, and never get it right again, still means you're a fucking shit hot guitarist.

ah, i bet he just fluked it.

can you link that video though? im not gonna be able to beleive it til i see it

To fluke it, you have to be a pretty shit hot guitarist.

I shall find links tomorrow.

There was a link on there for a tutorial for a guitar magazine that was something like "Betch cant do this" where they show off their widdly skills, the best bit about the clip was that they couldn't do it.

To play it good once and to fuck it up every other time doesnt really say shit hot guitarist to me

yea i linked it on the previous page! they really can't do it can they!
...and! herman doesn't have a clue what he is talking about "It's an A major arpeggio with extra notes hammered in" ...Idiot!

He's better than you.

Also, Sonata Arctica are by far and away the best power metal band ever, they make Stratovarius sound really fucking boring in comparison.

This, only Vanishing Point are so much better. They're so good Sonata covered them. It's just a real shame they're not very well lnown outside of their homeland of Australia. They've really got around down there, supporting Nightwish, DragonForce, Helloween, Joe Satriani and even Iron Maiden. They're touring Europe with Sonata in November, no UK dates yet though, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

Alot of this sort of power metal makes you just want to puke everywhere at how sickly it is.

Freedom Call!? God, I felt slightly ill when I accidentally caught a bit of them at Bloodstock last year.

Power metal is just silly! No one should listen to it! Bad for you.

I hate Dragonforce. It's just shit. I wouldn't even call it metal....... I'd call it shit.

Gayforce Dragongay Faggotgay Gayfaggot Shitpiss Pissshit...

thats why Herman Li said
someone told him he's crazy when he first want to start playing Power metal in UK
said that Only Germans and Finnish can sell records
play Power Metal in UK aint work....

they got so many haters from UK! lol

well,
I think that
Power Metal Bands, mostly sucks
and especially those featuring "Dragon" on cover art,
in lyrics/album title/song title
they all are certified sucks

They really all are certified sucks...

Well,now you're just being daft.
They are not better than;
Blind Guardian
Angra
Kamelot
Twisted Tower Dire
Doomsword
Stratovarius
Virgin Steele
Savatage
Black Majesty
Primal Fear
Running Wild
Helloween
StormWarrior
Metallium

and another twenty or so I could dig out of my "big bag of power metal bands that you've never heard off".



Oh,and Judas Priest.
