Better guitarist. Li vs. EVH

wait.... are you saying li is better than eddie at tapping solos?? eddie was well known for his tapping... i havent listened to dragonforce that much so you migh tmean PURE tapping solos.. but eddie is definately a god at tapping...
 
Who do you believe is the better guitarist?

I believe Herman Li because he plays faster than basically every guitarist alive, and he plays by far the hardest material. Van Halen is really good too, but he's just got too big of an ego. Sorry Van Halen marks.
 
You need to get your facts straight.

Jimmy Page never tapped, ever. He didn't tap in Heartbreaker. Learn the difference between hammer ons and tapping, they're two completely different techniques. EVH credited Pages hammer ons as an influence on his tapping technique, but its not the same thing.
 
I feel the same way. What was so good about dimebag?

And as for Herman Li live. Well he messes up all the time during Through the Fire in the Flames. Also, as someone said earlier, all Dragonforce songs sound the same.
 
I don't like new Eddie, I liked him when he was playing the hard rock stuff like Running With The Devil and Really Got Me, the new stuff I think is just garbage to me. Eddie is still great either way, but I just don't like his new stuff much. If he went back to that I would say that Li is better then him.
 
How on earth could someone compare the two?? Eddie Van Halen >>>>>>>>>>> Herman Li. Herman Li would not be playing the way he does if it wasnt for Eddie Van Halen.
 
point discredited to the fact that you are just merging bull**** together. isaac newton was the one who said 'If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.'
 
Do you like metal? Because if you do, list your favorite metal guitarists, I'm sure more than half of them are influenced by Eddie Van Halen.
 
Point taken.

However, when you consider the fact that a computer in two seconRAB can replicate what a 'technical' guitarist has practised his whole life to be able to play, technical ability on its own doesn't appear so glamorous. And this is why I find it hard to believe that anyone could truly base a musician's credibility on how technical he/she is.
 
Dime is a martyr, just like kurt kobain.

They both were alright in their own light, but their death volleyed them to cult status. it is similar to how when someone dies that is just a regular person, everyone who never knew them tells stories of how great they were and how they will never be forgotten. tis bull****.
 
Are you serious? DragonForce wankery is simple chromatic and minor arpeggios, scales, and hammer ons played really fast. Nothing technical about it. Learn what you're talking about before comparing Herman Li to one of the most inventive guitar players in the last 30 years.
