DRAGONFORCE Shredder HERMAN LI Lists His Ten Favorite Guitarists

October 14, 2010

Herman Li, guitarist, songwriter and producer of the Grammy-nominated metal band DRAGONFORCE, is known for his speed and precision as well as his light-hearted attitude when it comes to shredding.

To learn more about where he's coming from, Roadrunner Records caught up with the axe-wielder to ask him what guitarists are on his personal "I'm not worthy" list. See who he called out among his favorite players/writers at this location.

DRAGONFORCE earlier in the year parted ways with lead singer ZP Theart "due to insurmountable differences of musical opinion," according to a statement released by the British extreme epic power metal band.

DRAGONFORCE's latest album, 2008's "Ultra Beatdown", sold 24,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 18 on The Billboard 200 chart.

DRAGONFORCE had its first two studio albums — "Valley Of The Damned" and "Sonic Firestorm" — reissued on February 22, 2010 via Spinefarm Records U.K. Both titles were made available with updated packaging and bonus audio/DVD content, some of it exclusive to these releases.

Portugal's TuGuitarras conducted an interview with Herman Li when he made a stop in Lisbon, Portugal on March 23, 2010 as part of his European workshop tour. Watch the chat below.
