> Speaking of asian virtuosos(spelling) anyone ever watch the one dude from dragonforce play. Im not into hair metal or people that play every solo like its the last thing people will ever hear them play but he definetly has some speed and chops.

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.
