"To be big on KZbin, you've got to be a stupid troll. " /Herman Li/ So true. Look what happened to Davie. When he asked his viewers what he should do in his videos, they chose "cook spaghetti" over "play bass". His vids when he plays bass get way less views than cooking/memes/war. He is a meme channel, not a music channel, otherwise he could close the business.

[@altered1]

bullseye!

[@SidusBrist]

Like PewDiePie, it's no more a "gaming" channel but he's just doing entertainment, Davie will slowly become like that unfortunately because most people it's not interested in music but just watches his videos because are funny lol

[@supersandwich8967]

@@SidusBrist well Davie just did a video to see if people want to hear just music

[@son3mendo]

the music only video racked up 1M views in less than 2 days. It's still a respectable result.

[@danielwey]

His last music video has more views and likes than the previous one filled with memes.

Herman you are a class act, sir. Way above all this madness and still a true Gentleman. RESPECT to you sir.

Very much so

[@abiseniyya]

No, Herman. You can't recruit Charles, he's already picked (although it's illegal) his side. It'd be more ePiC if you and Stevie T join force against Davie and Charles.

[@ravager700]

I propose a 3 v 3 Herman. Stevie T , jared dines vs Davie Charles and Nathan Navarro All 6 are beasts of their craft and would gives each side more of a fight

[@guascamsb8138]

pick is not illegal anymore, have you not been watching the latest videos from Davie?

[@flashlightmanila01]

Herman Li and Stevie T is a brilliant idea.

[@opiumized]

i am loving all this back and forth between these gents. hope to see some awesome collaboration.

No Body: Herman Li : "He should be in the boy band"

[@GinoongVince]

Go recruit Charles, he's completely sane that he's challenging himself as Davie503 to a bASS battle. Go ahead and team up against Davie504, this is so cool, I like this war.

[@ElNieves]

We need a 3 way tag team match. Herman and Thedooo vs Davie and Charles vs Two Set Violin

[@myongpark]

Bringing up Guitar Hero 3 with you is like saying, “Shut up Meg” to Mila Kunis. Hey man, did you know you’re on Guitar Hero 3?

[@PsRohrbaugh]

I think it's wonderful that you guys made a band around a guitar hero 3 song. I love KZbin. 🤣🤣🤣

[@emaheiwa8174]

This KZbin war gets more complicated and amazing weekly lol

[@tulleuchen]

These wars are just collabs in disguise.

@@gimilkhad8169 yuh.

[@ninjanikingrextv3919]

I agree

[@ShuKatashSam]

Play a tune with Charles, you both are crazy rad musicians, large KZbin followings etc. Nice back and forth riffs, add a loop with the rhythm guitar and the bass groove tracks, add some drums, synth etc, or play those parts on a guitar and bass as well on the looper. Be a great idea and add great content.

[@ashleywootton7931]

I swear Herman’s hair would be able to flow around when a fan that cools a baby down would be on

[@20subswithnovideochallenge69]

I really love the Dragon force,TwoSetViolim,TheDoo,And most of the all Davie504 they are really the best musician in the world even if the are not friends

Dude they are all friends, this is just a big drama, not sure about Herman Li but Davie and Two Set are friends for sure

It's so cool you are doing this. And how you broke character to appreciate Charles' playing. You are awesome dude, keep it up!

Never thought that this day would come...where the best youtuber would be a Metal Guitar Player. Welcome to the future! lol

[@ElizondoAbelardo]

As a DragonForce fan, I think that, although the band has remained famous from "the guitar hero song", they have actually released really good albums since Marc Hudson joined the band. Sure, their first 4 albums were great, but they have since added a healthy dose of experimentation and kept things fresh. That said, with all of this situation in which bands struggle to play live, I am just happy to see that DragonForce (specially Herman) is succeeding at this and keeping the band relevant.

[@stepitupandgo67]

Good lord that dude shredded the bass!! Get him in dragonforce, Herman!!! Even if you have to have 2 bassists...

[@djangomaxfield]

I love you Herman! You're a legend I love these videos, I love to just practice my scales along with the music! very fun vibe

I don't know what it is about the Chinese / English accent but I feel like it's one of the cooler ones to listen to out of every accident I've ever heard. Especially when it's spoken by such a show down to earth person like Herman Lee.
