He also has a good sense of humour and doesn't take himself too seriously. Though when you're in a band with Sam Totman thats probably a necessary survival skill. 😁
Hahahahaha. OMG Herman. I didn't think anybody could be as goofy as our Steve. You nailed it. Love the facial expressions. Glad you were able to colab with Steve. Really enjoyed this video. I also really enjoyed the Twitch episode with you and Steve. Much respect.
@Laurie Terreberry Herman Li is a funny character. I have the Herman/Stevie blinded folded guitar thing downloaded on my phone. That was quite enjoyable! Have a great weekend Mama T!

I loved seeing Herman here.. But what makes everything more epic is his hair blowing in the wind 🤣 I need some tips, cause my hair is a mess... 🤣🤣 Now seriously, I love seeing you guys interacting 😀 Please do more collaborations like this.. although I can't think of someone equally funny now 😂
Herman's hair blowing in the wind adds so much to the 'epic' factor!! I'm jealous!! Haha! If I keep growing out this Covid hair, I'll be able to do it too! 🤣 I hope to turn this into a series. But no one will be able to outdo Herman in terms of playability and sense of humour! Haha!
My hair blowing in the wind annoying me when it was long(past my butt) was one of the reasons I shaved it off, besides washing + drying time. Although I did love it at school when it was similar length as Herman's and the wind blew it. I guess I should've just cut it instead of shaved, alas, too much hassle growing it again 20 years later.
Herman is a real class act to spend time making Silly videos with a fan and former bass prospect for Dragonforce. Hats off to both of them for entertaining us. Both are excellent guitarists. Thank you guys!
Glad that Stevie's relationship with Dragonforce is paying off in some manner. Maybe one day we'll get that legendary tour, but its really nice to see them just having fun with one another.
The difference between TH-camr musician and "professional" musician... One has 50 guitars on racks like weapons, the other Spongebob plushies and peewee Herman doll. This was awesome!

Well Chad kroger did say in an interview in total guitat magazine "I'd go head to head with any shredder", well stevie you need to put him to the test.
I love to see you and Herman playing together and I would love to see you two collab again in the future!! 😍 I must say, Herman did pretty good with the PMS challenge, facial expressions included! Does he have a special fan that blows air while he’s playing guitar to increase the epicness or what?! 🤔😂 Thank you for another great video Steve, definitely a nice little break from work! 😉
Thanks Redox! I'm sure we will work together again! Absolutely CRAZY that I'm friends with Herman Li now! Like WTF!!! 🤩 He definitely pulled off the faces too! I was surprised! Haha!
I have, many years ago. Dragonforce toured a load of smaller venues across the UK and just chilled out with us for a few beers. Well, Herman did. Sam was off doing laps around the block pissed out of his mind. That was the night Herman clued me in on his Babymetal secret. Still so happy to this day he wasn't lying to me :D
Does Herman keep a fan in his room just to make his hair fly in the wind during guitar solos? If that's true, then I can't decide if that's awesome or lame...
This was cool to watch. Herman really seem like one of those friendliest of individuals, but don't piss him off 😂😂. Much love Herman. Saw the Inhuman Rampage tour in Houston in 08. Best show I've been to.

@@monikavarro2020 No worries. And my answer was just about the fan, it's a sort of running gag. By the way, you do not have to sign up for Twitch, and a recording of that stream may absolutely be still available! I'm keen on re-watching it myself!
how audacious of you to assume that he has a fan blowing in his room, when the truth is that he actually has real wind blowing his hair any time he plays the guitar.
This was the coolest thing ever - what a great idea!! Herman Li was the perfect choice for the first PMS challenge! I've loved DragonForce since the Guitar Hero days. This was so much fun ! My biggest laugh came from your Wonderwall and Herman coming back with Nickelback 😂🤣 Cassandra mentioned Nik Nocturnal as the next one to challenge and I think that would be a great match up. 😁
Thanks Andrea!! I figured Herman would be the only shredmaster that would be willing to have fun with this! Pulling off the faces and such. Herman is just the best!! Nik Nocturnal is a TOTAL shredmaster from what I've seen. Perhaps I will have to PMS!! 😉
I like the video, both of you have fun making this vid. This video remind s me of your old video "guitar faces" . You're both are my guitar heroes. Keep rocking 🤘
You just didnt put Slipknot to Djent right? You didnt. Oh boy. And thats was way more Megadethish riff than Metallica. Metallica doesnt plays those sort of hard stuff you know.
I absolutely adore this. Herman is just a ball of cuteness, packaged in a box of confidence, taped up in sexiness, wrapped up in talent and topped off with a bow of fabulous hair. Seriously did you see those looks he was serving?
Who should I face next!!?
Sinister gates? That would be cool. Or Tom Morello. Also good job on the vid. Your amazing

Hmmm I dont know...
Hah, got to reply on this comment
Let us appreciate Herman, a very talented and respected guitarist, respects and even plays with other guitarist while being real damn humble
I thought Herman Li was mocking Steve throughout the video.
@@Thunderfang777 No Stevie said to play it like him. That means the faces too. IT'S PART OF THE CHALLENGE!!! (Stevie T. Voice)

This is why you don't mess with the triangle boy
@@fenderstratocaster4426 IKR
Herman Li literally has a ventilation system to fan his hair that he takes along with his guitar set anywere he goes
Steve Vai also had a fan on his pedal board when he was touring when he had long hair.
Omg! I really thought that he could move his hair by using the finger gestures system installed on his picks. But, your theory just makes more sense.
No, it’s just always perpetually blowing in the wind
ah the vai fan
*farts*
“I asked you to play Wonderwall, not Nickelback” 😂😂
🤣
XD
**dies**
That's where air blowing fan comes handy. Blows away the farts smell xD
Next episode, Herman challenges Stevie to play live on stage with Dragonforce.
I think Herman won that challenge.
You cant do Stevie like that lmao.
On a serious note tho, I really hope that Stevie will one day play with Dragonforce live onstage.
one day davie504 is gonna slip cocaine into stevie t's coffee and then stevie's gonna be stagediving with dragonforce
With triangle
Too soon, man
6:52 Herman’s fingers are insane! They look like they’re teleporting. It might be his camera quality but it’s still insane he’s that fast.
literally looks like hes throwing naruto signs his hand just instantly are there its crazy
To think Herman Li is left handed!
I feel bad for Herman because every time he walks into that room he can only play one of those guitars at one time.
Well, he is the only one to blame for being Herman Li and not Michael Angelo Batio.
False. Herman can play more than one at a time.
It's Herman Li, he probably can play all of them at once, or has them trained to play on their own 😅.
You underestimate herman.
Me after seeing the title: expects some serious shredding

Couldn't agree more my friend
Hold on. Have you SEEN Nick Jonas play a solo? You’ll eat your words, sir.
Steve t already done the solo 9 years ago lol
actual title: Herman flexing all his guitars for 10 minutes and 15 seconds
You forgot his hair blow
I love when he starts jamming he cranks the fan on high 😂
Shows Herman doesn't take himself too seriously and knows how to have silly fun.
The real question is:
Can Herman play Smoke On The Water?
Good one :D MR Herman! WE CHALLENGE YOU!
But can he play "Free Bird"?
Of cors nel
No
How about this th-cam.com/video/8V3dq6Hmp4Q/w-d-xo.html
Came for shredding. Got a stupid meme video... I love it.
I have new found respect for Herman. This was awesome.

Next time get John Petrucci we would love to see that one.
The psycho exercises Petrucci of course.
Too bad his shit doesnt stink, isn't it?
It won't even be a warm up for Petrucci
Most of this is just Herman looking like he’s having a stroke
As a stroke victim (no meme!), I approve this message.

That's how you know he's opened the console and is using cheats, his hair isn't blowing.
Haven't seen a guitar battle this good since Steve Vai took on the Karate Kid
If that Herman guy sticks with it, he’ll be pretty good some day.
Who knows he make become a real life "rock star" and not just an internet sensation.
Might even get featured in video games, who knows?
