Herman Li

Herman Li: the worlds only living paradox. The lead guitarist for the speed-power-metal band Dragonforce. Shreds notes that do not even exist on a guitar's fretboard, able to hit 103.5 nps (Notes Per Second), only to have ever been beaten by Jesus himself, with an average of 105.6 nps. Along with Sam Totman, they create solos that have actually been recorded to launch multi-dimensional black holes from the top frets of their guitars. On one such occasion, Herman's pick actually started melting somewhere around 00:37 seconds into their track "Fury of the Storm" He then quickly ripped the zipper off of his fly and continued playing for the rest of the song. Unfortunately, half way through their solo, despite the zippers rest by Herman tapping, it started to spark,
actually igniting a fans hair. Nevertheless, he continued playing. At around 5:16, when Herman performed a "dive bomb" effect, the croud noticed the guitars strings to have actually "bent" into the top 20 frets. The croud suspected they were just seeing things, but by around 5:32, the bend had become bigger, and Herman's own hair started getting sucked into what seemed to be, -quote- "A mini vortex of awesomeness" As the solo continued, the hole got larger and larger, but the headbanging got stronger and stronger, until a little child was actually sucked out of his mothers arms and launched into the hole.

Other uses of the word "Herman Li" can be used as following
-"I just so Herman Li'ed the song" Meaning you hit absolutely every note in a Dragonforce song while being drunk.
-"You so just got Herman Li'ed" Meaning as in a guitar duel, you got absolutely annihalated by Herman Li or Jesus.

The word Herman Li cannot be used by many, as it is almost impossible to play anywhere near half as fast and good as him.

Herman Li

Guitarist in the power metal band Dragonforce. He was born in Hong Kong and is the person who started Dragonforce. Herman Li is a self-taught with the guitar (and is extremely fast.) Although Herman Li is left-handed, he uses a right handed guitar; Li is known for his amazing signature guitar solos, where he switches his hands (right hand for fretting and left for "shredding." He also uses a Digitech Whammy Pedal and Wah Pedal To create some of his signature guitar sounds.

Herman Li is one of the best guitarists that I have ever heard. His solos are amazing. If you haven't heard any of Dragonforce's songs do a youtube search NOW for "Dragonforce" or "Dragonforce Stepmania" NOW!

Herman Li

The best guitarist ever who are criticised by people who can't even play Come As You Are by Nirvana.

Love or hate Herman Li, you gotta respect the amount of work and effort he puts into his songs and to hit the correct notes so fast

Herman Li

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.

Herman Li is one of the two guitarists in the band Dragonforce. His guitar playing on the Dragonforce records is known for being quite fast, but he is regarded as not being able to reproduce his solos well live. He is also known for making music inspired by video games, such as Pac-Man, and Super Mario, as well as being able to reproduce other odd noises in his guitar. This has sparked many over-dubbed parody videos on youtube.

Herman Li loves t3h A Major 7 LOLKATZ!!!1!one!!!11@@222twenty-two@2

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.
