Heis an incredible guitarist for sure, but just like Satriani/Vai/Malmsteen/Stump/etc those shred guys have limited appeal due to the simple fact that musicality DOES NOT EQUAL ELEVENTYBILLION NOTES IN ONE MEASURE.
On a side note, Dragonforce would be unstoppable if the dropped the powermetal vocals and harshed it up a bit. I grow tiresome of hearing hair metals singers that sound like they are mid-castration.
