Herman apologizing for putting Stevie on the spot like that. Man you all are epic people as far as I am concerned.

This is the first time i watch Steve being serious for 6 minutes

“Exasturbates” - Stevie T, 2020

Man Stevie is really on his way to overcoming his anxiety

These guys are really showing that the people who weren't always cool end up being the coolest

I like that Stevie naturally just screams into the mic. Not just for his videos but even in conversation lol

Jared - The Dude Stevie - The Nerve Herman - The God I know.. Best names ever

these guys are so sweet how they are like giving therapy to each other

I remember back in the day around 2005 people used to say that Herman was fake and they speed up his solos because there wasnt many live videos of them and his solos seemed humanly impossible! 😂

I take back any negative thing I've ever said about Steve Terreberry. I've never said anything negative against him personally, more the character. To see them as real humans versus the character they play on KZfaq is sobering. As viewers it's easy to forget that there are real people behind the camera putting themselves out there, just to entertain us. By putting themselves out there, they open themselves up to hateful remarks. Some remarks are from jealous people and some from people dealing with their own demons that use bashing KZfaqrs to feel better. Thank you for this video Herman, and thank you to Jared and Steve for being so open about such a sensitive topic. Going forward I'm going to spread positivity. If I have something negative to say, I will just keep it to myself.

Herman is absolutely nailing it on what he says about performing helping with anxiety. I'm a part time Twitch streamer with high anxiety and at first it was really hard for me. But after doing it off and on for three years, I've really found that it helps me face my anxiety and helps me do better outside of streaming. And his apology to Stevie is great.

Herman... beautiful speech, like I’m stunned even if those world could make Steve get out his shell, metal community will earn another great musician. What a down to earth guy..Herman!

“Do unto others as you would have others do unto you” Herman totally done that. What a wonderful person .

True musicians genuinely talking about their own share of anxieties and overcoming it, giving each other a helping hand. I hope this vid also gets to those who say that people who got nothing else good to do end up vlogging on youtube. I'd like to think they just don't have an idea of how this platform helps some of them to become more of who they want to be and none of what others expect them to be.

Nice job guys. Super cool to see. I have dealt with PTSD and social anxiety/panic attacks since I was 16. I'm 29 now. I've had multiple incidents of freaking out thinking I was gonna die and then almost passing out, and sometimes actually passing out and waking up in a hospital. Anxiety is a very intense sensation. I've gotten a lot better since then, and even though I may have my off days, it's nothing like in the past. If I could offer anyone reading this any sort of advice, it'd be this: Remember nothing lasts forever. You may feel you are dying or about to pass out, but it's gonna pass, and you'll eventually be fine. Don't fight it, or avoid it. Let it come, accept it, and then let it go. Understand it's just anxiety,. Also, get exercise. Once I got into Martial arts and exercises years ago, it helped SO much. That and walking. Go walk a few miles a day on top of some regular exercise, and you WILL feel better. Again, cool video! Cheers guys.

Love the honesty of all of them. Damit guys, you have no clue how much you help us „normal“ people with what you are doing. Much love to all of you. ❤️ 🤘

It's really good to see public figures like these talk down to earth about the nerves and challenges they face; I think many people will benefit from this message. Key thing I'll say though is don't think you can fix anxiety just by pushing your body into anxious situations - that's not how anxiety works; work with a counsellor, do CBT, to retrain that reaction

It’s relatable to hear Jared saying how he’s pushed himself through into situations to the point of being unwell to experience opportunities. I’m not one to talk about this kinda stuff usually but that really hit home. I was so shy as a child and it never went away. I’ve always done what Jared was describing to make sure I get to experience life and opportunities and it’s so exhausting. Especially the socialising side of things when you actually love to socialise but for some reason your brain just makes it so complicated and tiring. I’m just grateful I’m able to live through it, despite the discomfort. I really feel for people with severe anxiety disorders. I don’t imagine they often feel they have the option to “try to push through and just deal with the consequences”. Thanks for talking about this guys :)

"I identify as a KZfaqr" KZfaq is now officially a way of life.

it’s cool stevie and herman are still talking. herman, you’re the man!

Definitely need to hear more of this, it's actually made my day.

Great video guys. Love the way you openly talk about these actually common issues. There are many people out there who benefit from your experiences. You should do more vids like this. Thx ❤️🙏🏻

For some reason, I get nervous just playing in front of a couple of people. But when I did it at a music store, it didn't bother me as much, even in front of a dozen people. Hell, some of them even asked if I gave lessons. I've been playing for 31 years.

No one: Jared:"Right!!!!!!"

Hermin is such a legend, such a nice dude

I feel like how Herman is in this conversation in every conversation I'm in. The spectator

I have stage fright too even when I was performing at my school my heart beats so fast and I start to fill vomiting but doesn't vomit

Wow, Herman Is such a class act. So humble of you to apologize and to asses yourself. You really are a good example.

Herman seems like a chill and down-to-earth guy.

Jared include Herman Li and Sam Totman in shred battle

Steve, herman and jared this is really cool, i wish the video was longer

btw dragonforce is becoming top1 wholesome channel since quarantine

I love Twitch! It's like I got to eavesdrop on a candid conversation amongst colleagues. I really hope he figures out the Twitch thing, because it's kinda like YT, but the comments come at you faster, and you learn to power through your mistakes and practice working past the nerves. And, your viewers in the moment are all rooting for you to succeed. That's the gift you get when you are live. I wonder if he realizes that. Shrederrific Metal Trifecta!

Before I knew I had anxiety and depression, I went on stage with the first band I was ever in. All the way up until the first step on stage as a vocalist, I tried to stay cool and collected but man. When the lights hit and the first note gets played, I was TERRIFIED. Its cool to see people I look up to have had the same issues and talk about it

Herman. You are such a cool dude. I was a ball player in Highschool. But a white guy in Detroit. If you were here I would of been your wing man. Later on I learned Jazz and joined the Jazz band. Although I am not at your level I hope to be. And I wish I could of helped you through the anxiety. You seem like a genuine person, I hope you worry less about what the world thinks of you. Stay cool and great bro. 💪💪

I actually haven't really listened to Dragonforce much, but I can already tell you guys are super genuine and really awesome to share this video. I'll definitely be checking out more of your music. > u

Imagine this kind of pep talk would let steve to be actually live with dragonforce and also helped him so DF actually save two people

Man after this. I hope Stevie T will get his balls up. And when that opportunity DF calls him again that would be a great show.

Like if you want Djent 2020 with Stevie Jared and Herman

Wow that makes me respect the effort everyone made to get where they are, so cool Stevie could learn real life lessons from you guys

They have to call The Dooo The guy just never shows his face

Hey guys! I really admire you as creators or musicians and you have motivated me to buy my first guitar this summer. I am a complete newbie at music, thus, I would appreciate some advise!

all of you are killing it, just being on camera for twitch with a live audience is huge in itself

Finally, the three most popular shredders talking face to face Vitually!!!

Jared is gonna make Steve re-join DragonForce

DRAGONFORCE CHANGED MY LIFE😭😍THANK YOU

Nice to see that my words got to you about Stevie's anxiety!!! :D I'm happy for StevieT! (And I feel supportive af) C:

4:43 makes me remember the old video of Herman getting his hair stuck in the bass players tuning pegs haha

Good for you Stevie confronting your anxiety and Jared for being a good mate and making you feel comfortable with it. You’ll get there and soon enough you may have the courage to dive into those big moments 🙏🏼

Steve-T, I am sure he already has but see a psychiatrist for anxiety and he (YOU Steve-T) have been taking the same medicine for ages, there's definitely new things to try that would be worth a shot. Worse that happens is you go back to what you were taking. ... I guess this goes for anyone who could improve any condition and has been on the same medicine for years. You don't have to accept that as "as good as it gets". Check to see if and what new options are available. Make an appointment to talk about it with your doctors, specialist etc.

Herman smart my man. Call literally every stronger guitar/music KZfaqr and do a vid with him/her. You will get milions of subs, just keep it going. Non-Stop. Everytime when you have time. It is all about the Algorithm. It will "suck" you into that $$$$ vortex, just continue to do it. You know this your-self... You are VERY intelligent. So am i. So trust me on this1.

People get so caught up in the persona that a musician takes on while on stage, and they forget that a lot of these metal musicians are actually super supportive of their fans and fellow musicians.

I wish I could hang and maybe take affordable lessons from the KZfaqrs, I think Herman would be way too advanced for me and have too much going on for frequent lessons. I appreciate the honesty and openness here. I want a hug.

Stevie deserves to play in front of a large crowd, I hope he can overcome his anxiety in the future to play live. We all love him, and the haters will always hate. Don't worry!

love ya stevie sorry for your struggles, you are amazing. i my self have a touch of social anxiety, i dont think to the same extent but just know youre amazing. all 3 of you are great.

Stevie T: Im socially awkward and have anxiety about performing live. Bucket Head: Am I a joke to you?

You can tell in this video Herman is still struggling with the fallout of Graspop 2006. 😊 Yes, the internet is merciless, because it's forever - one drunk live gig, at least five years of trying to regain everyone's trust, constantly having to convince the audience that you're actually perfectly capable of playing that fast live.

This is fucking heartwarming. Love ya Herman, keep spreading the positivity!

Man such good people,such love and respect. I'm still looking forward to Stevie playing with DragonForce. It'll happen

i also agreed 100% on what StevieT says about anxiety and stuff but I did saw something behind Steve and it is his Little Stevie-T and that mess!

I genuinly got excited when i saw 2 of my favourite youtubers streaming Herman Li. What a dream come true.

This was great to watch. All 3 awesome individuals.

Had the pleasure of meeting Herman in Nottingham years ago when they supported WASP. He was a really nice guy.

YOU CANNOT MISS THOSE OPPORTUNITIES!!!!! I DID IT ONCE AND I REGRETTED IT TOO HARD SO NOW I AM MUCH BETTER AT GETTING UNCOMFORTABLE.

These guys are so supporting to each other, my guitar friend who just a bit better than me says I am not ready to play guitar...

That's why i idolize herman

Steve's first live performance should be during the superbowl halftime show lol

Been waiting for this Steve

This was an awesome stream, Stevie T is a real one ❤️

i wish the video is longer... I really feel what they are going through I'm getting goosebumps... This is a good video, a really good video that really helps us to understand...

1:30 Stevie's voice sounds like wall-E 😂

I think putting stevei on the spot is a good thing like a wake up call. Stevie might start taking the baby steps. You can do it stevei.

2 djent warriors with Herman Li

youtube finally notified me about something meaningful

Elvis Presley was the biggest entertainer in the world, he was the first person to do a worldwide satellite broadcasted concert that went out to almost every nation in 1972, hundreds of millions of people saw that very first satellite event, that is his "Elvis: Aloha from Hawaii" concert where he is wearing that beautiful American Eagle suit. Elvis was just as nervous playing that show as he was playing a show in Des Moine Iowa in front of 10,000 people!! Before EVERY concert he would have an upset stomach, threw up several times, he wanted to back out of the concerts, his breathing would become erratic, he felt like he was going to pass out - but he pushed through night after night, year after year and he said that as soon as he hit the stage and saw the audience, all the fear and anxiety went away and now he was just singing to some friends. Steve needs to push himself to play in front of an audience and even though the fear may never fully leave, it didn't for Elvis, it will only control him if he allows it.

This videos lead me to suscribe to Dragonforce... Herman Li is a humble man, and that's the most important value for me

Love this topic something we all struggle with as musicians at one point or another! ♥️

Stevie hasent been taking baby steps. I really cant see him playing live ever. Not wishing that upon him, i'd love to see him live, but I just dont see it in the near future. Huge shout out to Herman being a great moderator and apologizing for putting Stevie on the spot.

Good topic man..ive been dealing with anxiety for years....this really helps...

The more I hear Herman Li the more I like him. Very cool.

Stevie's a real nigga He just let's it all out for the world gotta love em

"i'll definitely ruin this song" -kurt Cobain- he did it nobody cares, still one of the best covers of all times

I went to school with stevie. He was a very shy guy. People take him too seriously cause of his vids. But hes a cool guy.

3 of my biggest inspirations in one video, this was a good find :)

Whenever I listen to DragonForce I remember SteveT's story, and get a little sad. I do hope he gets the chance to redeem himself. My advice: from experience I noticed you can control your anxiety to an extent. The more you "give in" and accept you're anxious and don't go out, the worse it tends to get. Kind of like you're rewarding your brain for bad behaviour. As Jared said, the baby steps do help to get out of your shell, and will help you to eventually overcome.

Hermanli *from inside* : These guys are awesome.

A 6 minute therapy session.

Love you so much guys

I really enjoyed this

I'll never forget when I met Herman in 08 after a show, and he shook my hand like he was the Queen of England. Like a dainty English lady he placed his hand limply into mine. It was so terribly awkward... but the whole band signed my jacket so it was an overall win.

Ya I too am struggling to fight nervousness, i thought it was the problem of the sound guy,that in one show ,my guitar was mute and I m playing while the people can't hear me..I started to sweat and shiver and my heart was thumping high and my hands froze even to play some baree chords... In one show there were lot of smoke and light and I didn't see the audience well and I was playing just how I was playing perfectly in my bedroom... I hope I can overcome this fear..

I think Steve should join DragonForce full time 👍that would be amazing. It would be cool to at least let Steve help record the Dragon Force Albums

This is gold.

Herman li sage of the six guitars

The best crossover doesn’t exi....

When your first show is a show opening for Maiden... uf

Stevie being serious for six minute😂

This is awesome 🤘🏻

Love that abasi guitar 😍😍

Look at herman.he got nothing to say between great legends. Impressive
