That is Herman Li - and it was the whammy bar he picked his guitar up by. The other guitarist is Sam Totman. They wrote the guitar arrangements for a song called 'Road of Resistance' .... for BABYMETAL. They also played on the studio album version. They said they wrote that to be possibly faster and more technical than a lot of their own songs thinking they would never have to play it live. At an awards show in London in 2015 they were asked to play it live with BABYMETAL, so had to practice hard before that happened. If you can get it past the blocks, 'Road of Resistance' live in Japan is a great performance (you may have to obscure the video with a watermark or logo or something) czcams.com/video/zTEYUFgLveY/video.html or there is a good version (not nearly as spectacular but safe to use) from Rising Sun Rock festival in 2016 czcams.com/video/pT5Sgi_hm4w/video.html or you could watch BABYMETAL with DragonForce at the Metal Hammer Awards (but the video quality and sound isn't great) czcams.com/video/CvTQAlQ6w2E/video.html
Herman li the guitarist whom you keep pointing out his bridge on the guitar was designed with him lifting it up in mind it’s called the zero g bridge the ring on his finger is also called a hot hands ring it’s for his guitar effects like wah and stuff it can be set for big motions or smal picks during there song hero’s of our time he pulls his hand way from the guitar shaking it to create his wah
11:27 he knees it to try to break a string. He said it never worked. In the studio recording at that part he broke a string and you can hear it, it sounded so amazing and perfect that he tries to break it live at that part too by kneeing the guitar but as he said it never worked, but he still tries.
Now im awake and ready to start the day! Thx to you reactors for discovering so many for me new bands! Rediscovering of Nightwish and thereby Ayreon and Avantasia. Through their guest vocalists to Blind Guardian and others! Sadly this kind of music isnt plaid in the radio.
The ring is called Hot Hand and it is a tremolo device that adds extreme vibrato to whatever notes/chords Herman Li plays! All he needs to do is shake his hand vigorously and it automatically adds the vibrato to whatever he is playing at the time. Also, BOTH Sam Totman and Herman are using a floyd rose locking nut and bridge so they can grab the whammy bar and get those insane screams or do outrageous dive bombs without worrying about guitars going out of tune or strings snapping! Also, if you DO wanna see what the Hot Hand (ring thingie lol) sounds like then here is one of their other totally EPIC songs called "Heroes Of Our Time" where you can clearly see when Herman Li uses the hot hand by shaking his hand vigorously and the sound that it creates when he does so?! Enjoy guys!!! :D DragonForce - Heroes of Our Time (Ultra Beatdown Official Video) - czcams.com/video/lRt54xjIq7w/video.html
If u want to him use the ring, see "heroes of our time" or "the last journey home" thats two of the most ring used songs (sorry if my english is bad, i native spanish)
make sure to give the original version with zp theart on vocals a listen. dont get me wrong, marc is an amazing singer, but the song imo is better with thearts more gritty vocals.
This used to be one of my favourite songs. Unfortunately I saw DF live at the RockHarz Festival a few years ago, and they were totally out of tune, through the whole gig. Sad. :( They can be great though.
DragonForce is the final boss in Guitar Hero
Couldn't quite keep at it in beat saber either...
no one notices the drummer who was constantly summoning earthquakes.
Gene... what a thumping drummer
How many awesome solos does this song have?
All of them. Literally, all of them

Thank you so much for the info! This helps a lot!
The thing I hate about this video is that Marc is taking all the attention away from Herman an Sam's epic soloing.
Agreed. Fury of the Storm (from this same set) is the one to watch for the solos. Marc takes a back seat during that one!
yeah but in this version we at least get all the epic solos
such a fantastic performance but I never understood why they had to do the crowd participation during Hermans epic solo in the end :(

Thanks for reacting to the live version in stead of the official version which is 100% less epic. Also how many solo's you want? Herman Li: yes

Please react to Dragonforce - Heroes of our time... It has a really uplifting beat

The ring is used by herman to manage the lights in the neck of his guitar
Please react dragonforce - fury of the storm live .. will blow your mind
That’s all the convincing I need to react to more dragon force.
@@JimGames still waiting
Check this one : Junna - through the fire and flames / dragonforce - drum cover reaction .
The ring is a wah wah ring.
How can the drummer still alive? My goodness..
If u want to him use the ring, see "heroes of our time" or "the last journey home" thats two of the most ring used songs (sorry if my english is bad, i native spanish)
bro that ring is called hot hands you can play without touching the frets cause it reads the fingers movement in the air.
you should react to TheDooo
Whammy bar yes😉
Heros of our time the ring is used a lot
If u want to see way better guitar skill performances from Dragon Force, u should be check out " Cry Thunder " Live performance 😊
He use the ring in heroes of our time
He uses a floyd rose guitar
make sure to give the original version with zp theart on vocals a listen. dont get me wrong, marc is an amazing singer, but the song imo is better with thearts more gritty vocals.
I will! Thanks for the heads up!
That is tremolo technique
Tina S does a cover of this one... just saying, do not miss it 😉
Try FURY OF THE STORM Live
REACTO TO FURY OF THE STORM LIVE
This used to be one of my favourite songs. Unfortunately I saw DF live at the RockHarz Festival a few years ago, and they were totally out of tune, through the whole gig. Sad. :( They can be great though.
BTW: the were called the United Nations of Heavy Metal: Musicians from New Zealand, China (Hong Kong), Ukraine, France and the USA.
BTW: had seen them serveral times live before and they can be really good live! RockHarz seems to have been a sad point in their carreer.
das ist ein WahWah Ring
