Sorry dragonforce fans, all thier songs sound the same, all the solos are speed driven messes, and who can say taht EVH's ego is bigger than Li's?!? The man should switch bodies with the governator jsut so his ego can fit...
No, Li does not have more skill. This isn't a subjective topic either. If you listen to what both men have written and played EVH is by FAR the more versatile and skilled guitarist. DragonForce is simple musical phrases played really fast (and it's up for debate if they can accurately recreate it live too). I even like some DragonForce from time to time, but besides the speed and some hilarious lyrics, they bring nothing new to music.
