Herman and Sam

Sam doesnt suck, he is just out of his depth. Sam is terrible at improvising, hence his "betcha cant play this" being sloppy as fuck. on record Sam spends hour after hour writing and rehearsing his solos.
Herman is a much better improvisor, all his solos on the last two DF albums were improvised

They were pretty great when I saw them live.
A bad recording or PA doesn't change the pitch of the notes. That was one of the most sloppy pieces of live guitar playing I've ever seen.
I was talking about the overall badness of the recording.

wow those guitar and keyboard solos really sounded like my ass after a curry.

Whoever blamed Hermans "sweep" on bad recording
...

I hope you're right and he does actually play better than this because in this video and a live video I've seen, his guitar sounds like a jammed pencil sharpener.

All the other videos I've seen of the Dragonforce guys playing are just fantastic. It's not really my thing but it's all cool. They're funny as fuck too. Like in the big interview in this months total guitar with Matt and Corey and Kirk Hammett etc. It's a hilarious read.

Saying 'all his other solos' hints to me that he's actually wrote a solo that doesn't sound the same as all the other ones...I doubt that though.

QUOTE(DrSalvador)QUOTE(dmsdj5)I will agree,Sam's is very sloppy.
I think thats probably because he never warms up and is almost always pissed out of his face on stage

Very true.


Sam is a good player, but a lot of people think he's better than he is.

He's a good player hangin' down westside.

It's funny for a while, but Sam repeats himself... Talking about wanking and beer is ok for few questions, but for the whole fucking interview? That ain't right.

Maybe, but you can clearly hear both guitars horribly out of tune with each other.
