Some shred-head who plays in dragonForce along with fellow guitarist Sam Totman. Neither guitar player can actually pull off the songs live and when you listen to their studio work the guitars wreak of protools, That is why i call them studioforce. They use the studio to make it seem like they have talent but live they simply can't deliver

Guy 1: Hey man don't you just love Herman Li, he is incredible!!!!

Guy 2: Ok now watch this live video on Youtube!!

Guy 1: Shit so they can only play decent guitar in the studio?!

Guy 2: Thats right :) so if you really want true talent go Listen to Paul Gilbert Instead.

Get the Herman Li mug.

herman li

Lead guitarist of DragonForce. Can't play his own songs live without missing 3/4's of the notes. Don't believe the live videos on youtube, those are just good ones, where you can't even tell how much he is messing up. The guitar is sped up in the studio, and corrected to the appropriate pitch so it sounds like he is playing that fast without the chipmunk sounding effect you get from speeding something up. But still sounds different than if you actually play that fast.

Even if he could play that fast he still isn't a good guitarist. He is ok, none of his riffs are that great, most attention doesn't come from his skill but his "speed".

Newbie Metalhead: OMGZ HERMAN LI PWNZ!
Metalhead: Shut the fuck up.

herman li

The most overrated guitarist in the world. He shreds sloppily and he sucks. Kerry King could kick his ass back to La-La-Land.

Herman Li's just another Chinese product that fails.
