Shaq: They're known for their fast drumming
Me: *Waits patiently for the guitar duel*
Same
same BRO
haha! me too
Although drummer is pretty bad ass i saw them in concert twice.. once when i wasnt even going to see them and they were there with lamb of god..
I literally spit my drink out
My hands are having PTSD flashbacks from guitar hero
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Me and a mate got to the point we could 98% this on expert every time never managed to get 100% many drunken nights of playing it over and over again for hours for about a year of weekends 😂😂
@@benllewelyn98 I used to get 97% bro , and my brother used to get 98%. We played Guitar Hero forever.
Try soulless 4 dog 😂😂
@@quincymccourt8422 Soulless 4 is so fucking hard lol.
If I was at my prime, yeah, I'd be able to pass it. I did for the first three and at high percentage... but Souless 4, is on another level of unholy.
Lol
'Them boys had a friendly competition, inside a song'
You got me man😭🤣
Im dead😂😅😆😁😄😄😃
He's like "hold my beer". XD
herman li is chinese he was born in british hong kong and later as a child moved to england. #FreeHongKong
光復香港時代革命
@@jai9587 what?!
@@siddhantjadhav83 It means Hong Kong revolution
@@jai9587 two sticks over house and gun with dad hitting mom next to triple x
He ain’t Chinese then. He’s Hong Kong.
Little does Shaq know the song is originally 7 minutes and the solo lasts much longer
Yeah.
True it’s 7:28 minutes and second long
yeah, but they put ALL the solo anyway
Allegedly took like 5 years before they could actually play the song live.
I think they just cut the bridge out of the video.
This is the first time I've ever heard anyone analyze the lyrics to a Dragonforce song. God bless you Shaq
Bars are Bars. Baralogy
i haven't watched all the reaction videos for this song, but this is the 1st time i see someone mention the singer's awesome vocals.
@@SapiaNt0mata I miss ZP Theart. He was a decent singer at that time. A good frontman too
@@WASP87 live he sucked, in the studio tho..... zp theart was amazing. I think it was smart to replace him, their current singer actually sounds good both studio and live
Heavy Metal Rules. Gotta wonder if he was as wasted as the rest of the band how he would sound if he was sober like they are now.
When he sees herman's fingers move at the speed of light his reaction is priceless. This song is playing at my wedding I don't care.
Don't forget Candy Shop by The Dan Band. Thank me later and rock on!! 🤙🤙🤙🤙
.....invite Herman...... You never know.
Fr whenever I get ready this is the only song I'm making a requirement and not the short version I want all 7 minutes of this musical goodness
"Is it me or does he look Chinese?"
Not only is he Chinese, but, he has the whitest name next to the dude who played Black Panther(Chadwick).......HERMAN!!
His last name is super asian though (Li)
The song is not Herman li possible to play flawlessly
He's definitely a fukn Chad
@@rahmanhakim944 2 months later just to let you know that I respect the pun
And has won several guitatist of the year awards
I feel like I've been waiting for this reaction video my entire life. And I'm 51. Shaq, you are the GOAT, my guy. Love you, man.
i never thought he'd do it..now lets get him on the devil went down to Georgia
@@ailm3ntrx658 the devil went down to Jamaica haha
Get him on some kalmah rust never sleeps
what the fuck does it mean to be the goat
@@iamconnortheandroidsentbyc2859 The Greatest Of All Time
Where all my expert mode hyper speed guitar hero boys at? 🤟
Hi! :D
All about the hammer ons
Alex Morera you already knowwwwwww
What up we here
And girls 😅
6:38 the face a man makes when he realizes the shear difficulty of what he has just witnessed
Truth 😂
Dragonforce is an English Power Metal group formed in London England in 1999 by British-Chinese guitarist Herman Li, and British guitarist Sam Totman, best known for their Retro Video game influenced sound, Long and Fast guitar solos and Fantasy-Themed lyrics 🤘
the devil went down to Georgia...
i never see this request,lets get it done no life gang
Metal or original version?
Metal version, love the original but the metal just steps it up so many notches
Helll yeahhhh
The guitar hero 3 version???
Metal!
"I heard they were known for their fast drumming"
you just wait....
Bro I read your comment then he said it on the video. Moment he said that I was like you have no idea that your about to witness a complete shredding of the guitar
fast drmming is cute but they are known for their fast guitar battle solos haha Shaq had no clue what was coming
@@joshuasnyder357 honestly the drumming in this song was better than the guitar imo. In this song specifically tho
Am I the only one that's noticing how Weird Al is totally blowing up those vocals???
lmao that hair had me thinking the same thing
OMG!!!! I was about to comment about that! He does look like Weird Al, but only from the side!!!! Fawk you for commenting on that before me!!!!! Just kiddin'...I love you for that!
fuck now that you say it
First time putting Eagle Rare through my nose while laughing so thanks for that.
Lol 😂
This video is just an excuse to listen to this song for the third time in a row
Sorry buddy, it's been wayyy more than 3 times lmaooo
oh you mean the 300th time?
Third? That’s rookie numbers
Thats so true lol
@@iitstre_4550 more like still new to the song lol
"A friendly competition in the middle of a song while drinking a beer" is probably the perfect description for this music video.
Through the fire and flames: 2005
TH-cam's Rcommended for you: 8 Years later
No Life Shaq: 14 Years later
Ahhhhhh the algorithm at its finest.
Damn it's already been 14 years
Not everybody can fit on the train at the first stop. :D
The best thing about good music is that it surfaces again every once in a while.
Hey man, this song is great. If you disagree that's your problem.
@@TechToyTinkerCompany i love the song dude im just saying how late his reaction was
Okay, now find a complete version of the song, and just listen to everything, including the buildup to let you know that ridiculous solo, which is actually much longer, is coming.
SHAQ: “You can’t top that!! You can’t-“
Dragonforce: ***Tops that**
Pretty much how Dragonforce works.
Lmao his face. He was enjoying that
This song destroyed my head in Rocksmith. :D
Cytraxi that’s why I play bass. I tried playing this song on Rocksmith on a guitar. It’s damn near impossible.
@@slovak4life1991 well thats not the reason i play bass :D i play bass because its much more fun for me! :D
First time I’ve heard someone say “Listen to the drums” while listening to Through the Fire and the Flames 😂
Texas3Percenter facts😂🤣☠️
Drummers are often overlooked, even by me, but man, if you really put your ear into it - dude fucking rocks
Just Like The Dude On The Comments Said....
"Best Shampoo Commercial Ever"
Bro Herman lee the Chinese guitar player is a legend honestly in my opinion he’s definitely one of the best guitar players ever he’s actually top 10 on the lists
I love the hip hop head bobbing to the metal songs. That cracks me up so much haha
It’s a whole new mood and I’m all for it. I thought Dragon Force was a novelty metal band until I saw them play this shit live. No backing track
Sounds like an hour long show of wannabe Dream Theater and Pac Man noises intertwining with Scooby Doo chase music
@@neilpatrickhairless Not even close. Please don't compare either of the two bands.
@TruMusic89 You really thought I was dissing Dream Theater? I made the comment because Dragonforce doesn't even come close to Dream Theater in any way and rightly so, because they are very different in style/genre - power metal vs progressive metal.
Dream Theater is the reason I started delving further into metal.
I have everything from ice cube to Metallica, good music is good music 👏😂✊
Me: Seen dragonforce; clicks instantly
Ik did not expect him to react to this. Specific song
Haha likewise
same here xD
I was waiting for him to throw the headphones off 😂
Lmao same bro
5:32 as if this part wasn't a total dead giveaway, yes, this was "the final song" in one of the Guitar Hero games... lol
Ahh I LOVED that games! We wasted MANY a college Friday skipping business studies, drinking and perfecting this song, beast and the harlot and Jessica the top gear theme! 😍 This made me want to dig it out! Haha 🤣
"Hey Dragonforce how many learn guitarists do you want"
Yes
I haven’t heard this since guitar hero! Man I’m getting old, shit was crazy hard on guitar hero too 😂
That was the first place I heard it too. Could never get through it though. That shit is hard!
only ever seen one person play that song successfully at max difficulty back then
haha i was just about to say that. good thing i scrolled down. it was like throwing a bag of skittles at the screen playing on expert.
My friend still brings up me casually getting him that achievement. Practiced that intro with a rubber band holding down one button lmao.
wtneely1 I uploaded a few terrible quality videos that should still be on my channel back in high school, I was decent at guitar hero but not so much on that song lol
Flashbacks to trying to merely beat this song on Expert difficulty Guitar Hero 3
Same!!
Shit gave me a heart attack first time I tried
93% expert hyper speed 5 right here...
*[EDIT]*
...
I tried to sound cool right now but when I read it again I realized im just a huge nerd -_-
I always saved this song for my last song to play. If I played it early, I wouldnt play too long. I remember my first time beating it on hard, i felt so accomplished...lol. Never did beat it on expert
@@F1rstWorldNomaD no, you are a true hero
Shaq: "You can't top that!"
Sam&Herman: "Hold my beer"
When your guitar sounds like a wind instrument...from mordor
I had Guitar Hero flashbacks of putting down the controller and crying in the corner this songs soo fire, lol! That's tough
This video brought up a lot of pain this song gave me on that game lol
took me 4 days straight of constant practice to get 92% on expert xD i cried so hard lol!
This song killed my fingers on expert level of Guitar Hero 😂🤟🏼
I miss playing that on GH3... the beginning is straight tapping lol.
Ugh. Expert hyperspeed 5. Makes me not even wanna hear this song anymore haha.
First time time playing on hard my wrist fell off.
It kills my fingers on guitar
same
First time I saw one of your videos and absolutely LOVED IT. I love the amazement on your face....peace, my brudda!
"How high are you?"
No Life Shaq: Yes.
Guitar Hero 3 Fans Remember!!! 🤣🤣
I think this song is responsible for giving me arthritis
@@peterpatron4822 or carpal tunnel...lol
This song on GH3 gave me temporary stiff muscles
I played GH 1-2-3 with gamepads... every song on expert level (5*) except this... I cant did over 3 star.. :D
4 guitar replacements later haha
It’s called a “guitar duel” when they go off like that...fun to watch!
Jonathan Underberg aka a shred off
Synitster gates and Zacky v. Best guitar duo
Braydan Brown lmfao no chance they make pop music
@@braydanbrown8067 u r making a joke right? Lol
@@llMau5 have you listened to avenged sevenfolds music? 😂
Been watching your stuff a bit lately. Love your genuine new reactions to metal. Impartial and from a different viewpoint. It's great.
I love when I remember a song my first thought is “shaq must have reacted to that!”
Lo and behold. Never disappoints
I love how shaq can appreciate lyrics and talent even when its not his cup of tea. Props
The guitar duel is why I recommended this to you months ago. The look on your face was so worth the wait! 🤣 I love you man! Your reactions are the best ever! Realest dude on TH-cam right here! Now go watch Extreme “Play With Me”!
If we go to Guitar duel/duet it has to be Ascendead Master from Versailles.
This song just convinced me to start listening to rock.
"He said hold my beer, literally!"
Yall can see he is into drums and shit, but do you guys think he is ready for meshuggah - bleed?
Ainda não
He'd be able to do whatever after watching Mudvayne, but maybe he is not 100% ready for that specific kind of metal. lol
Either that or Fleshgod Apocalypse - The Violation
He aint ready he needs baby steps
Nope
Through The Fire And Flames was, and probably still is, widely renown for it's nearly impossible guitar riffs
I mean, it's gotta be edited for the studio version and is probably impossible to play the same solos as the studio recording "legit" in a single take. Even in the video, Herman and Sam's hands don't even vaguely match up with the sound.
@@auracle6184 Check videos from live
@@user-su7gd7fq6q yes, live is not exactly the same as studio; it's simplified.
@@auracle6184 I can agree with you. But if i would go to concert of this group, i will do not pay attention on this. This song was written +/-12 years ago, so it's okay + Changing vocalist and every lil thing.
Yeah, i understand that studio sound of music is different than live
I've attempted these riffs before but my hands cannot handle 195 time with 75 percent of the music being 164th notes
Played this shit back in the rock band days on drums my hands bleed after words
I get so much joy from watching Shaq pure happines and enjoyment.
The rock and metal mosquitos stung Shaq and now his doomed forever!
Welcome to the family dude! Love your reactions!
I think you should react to all metalica songs, all the classic rock and metal songs.
Guy started the “hold my beer” lol
I believe it
@@Lightning_Lance Nope. Michael Jackson's "Beat it" did. >:)
@@Lightning_Lance yeah I believe it too tbh
@@ObsidiaBlack1 please stop ruining jokes
The members of the band Dragon Force must have sold their souls to Satan because, from Stevie Ray to Eddie to Zac Wylde, no mortal man plays that fast without the Pick Of Destiny.
That's fucking awesome!!!....hahahahahahahahaha
I knew it. Hypothetical verified
Who said Stevie, Eddie or zac were mortals?
My thoughts exactly. The most recent holders of the title: “Demon lords of the pick”
Should have played Master Exploder.
So glad I came across this... even if 2 years late. I love DragonForce and I love your channel so this was a great topper to my night.
Your reactions were amazing I love it. Keep up the great work man👍
We’ve now reached the Power Metal stop I see.. next stop Symphonic Metal with Nightwish. And my man, you already know we’re proud of you!
FCK YES! Nightwish 5ever \m/ We are the Edema Ruh!!!!
Tucker Brady gotta get some spiritual healing from 'Death' up here
Nah, next stop Dream Theater
“Ghost Love Score” by Nightwish live at Wacken 2013
YES! Nightwish- the Poet and the Pendulum
Shaq: these metal songs are mind-blowing
Dragonforce: hold all of our beers...
Have you ever heard of parkway drive if you haven't listen to it please do
Much respect to this dude for broadening his horizons and not being close minded.
Love how much you enjoyed this and how you were fully into it. Riding the wave.
Shaq, I'm an old metalhead and you turned me onto a new band....Bridges crossed sir!
Well done!
They are an amazing band. I hope you check out their other albums. If I can recommend a good new-fan track list to check them out in, I'd say check out their music videos but make sure not to miss Fury of the Storm; and Valley of The Damned as well (no videos for these two...)
@@GuillermoSmyser if I may complete, the fire still burns, flame of youth, scars of yesterday, Revelations, Dawn over a new world, body breakdown and revolution deathsquad
👏👏👏✊
I have been loving this metal reactions!!!! Keep it tough!! Deathlok-bloodrocuted trust me coach put me in!!
It's your boy, it's your homie, it's your: Reaction Video King
I gotta say, I love your energy and positivity. New subscriber!
Not gonna lie Shaq, I love your reactions but kind of mad I haven't seen any Tenacious D...you must react to Tribute
I wish I could thumbs up this a thousand times!! He’d love it!!
Super Jess Right?!?!
Master exploder ftw
I second that
YES! TRIBUTE!
Yo! You should add to your classic rock with ZZ Top’s “La Grange”. Ted Nugent’s Stranglehold.
J-Rock G. -- I would love to see him react to both of those, especially stranglehold though.
Absolutely!
Throw in Dire Straights - Sultans of Swing, too!
Man, you made the best metal reviews ever hahaha! Salutes from Costa Rica!
Been a subscriber for almost a year now watching reactions for em and stand ups and this is my first time seeing your reaction with this song. My love for you just leveled up man. Keep it up! Kudos from the Philippines!
Thy amazing DragonForce. They will always be amazing. This song never gets old.
This is power metal! Check out tonight we ride by Unleash the Archers next! Lesgooo coach!
He ain't ready for Brittany's vocals...
Nobody is ready for her vocals. You just have to take the dive and let it happen.
Yeah! That chick has one of the most powerful voices I've ever heard and the rest of the band is on point. I bet the fans in the front row of a UtA concert can feel Brittney's voice rattling their teeth. If you do Unleash the Archers, do Tonight We Ride (her best song) or Awakening (everybody's best song).
I've randomly stumbled across this guy's reactions over the last couple years, and all of his reactions are priceless. Sorry for not subscribing sooner, but you always give me something to smile about haha.
I guess I’m a little late on finding you. I was searching for first time metal reactions, and within the past two days I watched your videos. I enjoyed watching you evolve into your love for metal starting with Metallica. Much love man. I enjoy and respect your reactions to all Genres of music
I'm mad I'm 10 months late to this reaction lol
No life shaq: you can't top that
Herman to sam: OK mate, let's turn it up to 11
And then left gobsmacked after XD
Shaq needs to hear some Amon Amarth Twilight of the Thunder God or Deceiver of the Gods pure Viking Metal
Yes! I so want him to see Devin Townsend too, throw some Strapping Young Lad up on there!
Thousand years of oppression, runes to My menory
Loveing your videos keep up the great job
love your reaction my man! keep it up!
Guitar hero insanity 😂 ....yeah that's literally how I heard this song for the first time🤘🖤
Ditto. And it's brilliant!
I think that’s the case for most people
And hard as hell to play !
Welcome to Dragonforce the land of a billion notes 😂
And most of those notes are the same(if you're playing on an actual electric guitar)
@@Akmenos6576 ya if every single note is played 600x like this
You ain't lying 😂 when my leg was healing and I couldn't go anywhere guitar hero was my salvation and this song gave me life bro. Just listening to this my heart is racing like I was just playing it. 😂
this is my favorite reaction one love my guy!
6:38 Shaq had his face melted by them guitars. Loved this reaction!!!
YESSSSSS DRAGONFORCE !!! I love this, thank you coach, keep up the great reactions! :D
you should do Buried Alive by Avenged Sevenfold
it is A7X's Stairway to Heaven.
I'd say that "save me" is more of a stairway to heaven kinda song Haha
@@alaincharbonneau747 that's true but I was quoting M. Shadows
Buried alive. Yes
Dragonforce are unbelieveble ! Love love love them! They are a force! The guitarists are beyond this world! Just look at the live shows 😊🔥 Your reaction are great as always Shaq! 💯
4:58 man my first love just broke up after 3 years I needed to hear this
🍺cheers mate 🍻
Coach.... I'm here for the bars
ANTHRAX "I'm The Man"
Rap/metal fusion (old school)
Make sure it's the uncensored version.
Omg yes this
Anthrax should be a metalShaq reacts series.
Idk man the censored version is pretty funny.
The only thing harde is the smell of my feet!! NOT!
I haven't thought about that song in *years*.
I just wish the drummer and keyboardist would have been featured, too. So good!!!
This video makes me happy. So much joy!
I literally had to come back and watch this again because I loved the reaction so much. It's like watching myself refall in love with music.
"he said hold my beer.....
...
..
literally" - No Life Shaq Circa 2019
Sadly the beer is why Dragonforce are actually pretty awful live. The singer routinely would just get blackout drunk and just stumble and slur through the song, and the guitarist (not Herman Li, the other dude) just could not keep up because he was too drunk.
@@smward87 I saw them live years ago. I would love to see them again now that they have a new singer and are sober during live performances.
React to crazy train by Ozzy Osborne love the vids keep up the good work 💯🔥
Gotta ride that crazy train
Live 1982 along with mr. Crowley. It really shows Randy Rhoads talent.
So I’m sure someone already mentioned this “on the end” . They were having a friendly sort of duel on the end with hold my beer and they knew how many bars it would take. The super impressive part is that they played a dual solo on the end that was completely harmonized, which is beautiful. The amazing part is that they played it at speeds that most players have issues playing it clean by themselves. So playing it at the speed they did in perfect harmony and nobody missing a note LIVE is, well, I’ll let others elaborate on that. Even in a recording booth, it would take almost anyone several takes/runs. It’s quite astounding because of not only the synchronization, but the speed, at the same time (timing), flawless (or good enough to us mere mortals). It’s FUCKING AWESOME!! Lol
I saw them live in 2006 and it was fucking incredible start to finish. They literally do all the tricks and shit while playing live and its bananas.
Seeing your reaction got me so emotional. I used to love this song but then starting thinking of it as over played. Seeing you think about the lyrics reminded me why I love it.
You need to check out some Killswitch Engage - The End of Heartache live.
Howard Jones Has a very powerful voice
Howard is amaaaaaazing! Loved Killswitch w/him
You gotta listen to Soothsayer by Buckethead! Best guitar solo I've heard
I second this
I don't think mans heart could handle it
Its got to be the "most emotional" live version
@@jarondail809 not necessarily the live version is great but the studio version is longer and also amazing
th-cam.com/video/dyQJH615KwA/w-d-xo.html
It's always a pleasure to listen to you power metal
I can't believe I missed this one🫢😱 what A great reaction! 🤣
His reaction to the solos was my favorite thing ever
The 'chinese' guitarist 😂, Herman Li, he one of fastest guitarists on record... Do Slash ft. Myles Kennedy, Anastasia, Live in Sydney please 🙌
Studioforce
@@Nightwalk444 thats the biggest bullshit ever. they can play live just fine. you must be stuck in 2006. Time to move on. th-cam.com/video/pLcPxXN_QsQ/w-d-xo.html
Iridescent Noise this song came out In 2005
@@DiscontinuedChannelOne what's your point? My point is that they can play their stuff live.
Iridescent Noise they can DragonForce is good but you said
“You must be stuck in 2006”
According what you said to TTFATF
They had a friendly conversation... The winner? Everyone listening
That's the Power, the power of metal with the melodies Take your soul fly highly 🤘🤘🤘
512 lamb of god... Like it come on Shaq ain't bout that Life metal head shaq
Yes! More Lamb of God!
Ive requesting this song for a while now!! 😭
sabaton - primo victoria
a song that would make you proud to be an ally even if you're in the axis
Someone Crazy LIVE!!
Your energy is awesome
Thank you man, every reaction I've watched for this focuses on the badassery of the guitarists. Finally, at last, somebody recognizes the brilliance of the drummer.
Every time I hear this song I get serious guitar hero flashbacks. But having played it on expert (admittedly with no fail cheat on) that even though its not real it makes you appreciate the song and the speed way more
