wow really?
even though they are fake and newest album sucked wang?
Should’ve been Mark Morton/Willy Adler…
WTF IS THE WORLD COMING TO
how could they win when slipknot and lamb of god are nominated
i agree with jingee, wrath album kicked ass and the log guitarists own
iv got nothing against slipknot but they hardly shred,
i think mark morton and willy adler should take it.
I love DragonForce, but even I acknowledge that shoulda gone to Morton and Adler… Wrath is awe inspiring
Mastodon hadn’t been nominated
meh slipknot didnt deserve this although i love dragonforce lamb of god should of fuckin won
[...] The Dimebag Darrel Shredder Award! [...]

its gotta be lamb of god anyone except dragonforce
EITHER Johan Soderberg/Olavi Mikkonen (Amon Amarth) OR Mike Akerfeldt (Opeth)
or testament as well..
the rest fucking suck
HELL YEA!!!
I am so fucking happy that Herman Li and Sam Totman got The Dimebag Darrel Shredder Award
Well done guy’s
what about alexi…
mike should win (opeth)
Ive got a big problem with this, I can see Herman Li/Sam Totman being nominated for being able to shred, but they don’t play very “riff” oriented music
i think that Mark and Willy deserved this one
Mike (opeth) shoud’ve won! One thing is shredding, but doing it with feeling and so that it makes musical sense is something else!
I don’t know but they should let other bands win
they are great but the latest album is medicre
i love DragonForce
i like them but…. congrats anyways!
heh heh heh
I think they deserved to win and i’m so glad they did..
hell yeh Hermin and Sam, i figure they’d win, it would either be them or Mark and Willy, but its a shredder award so of course its gunna be hermin and sam Hell yeh!
Herman and Sam can shred, they have the fastest, most complicated shred out of any modern band. they do harmonies together, most people cant physically do. they deserve it.
Go dragonforce for the win ;D
and noobpotato stfu, if they were fake they wouldn’t have won the award. Just case they use effects it doesn’t mean they are fake, comon wake up people, it’s the truth you like it or not, Dragonforce are REAL stop blaming them
What? Mikael Akerfeldt DEFINITELY should’ve won!! Opeth’s music is so amazingly complex and deep and intelligent…and the dudes from Dragonforce won??? I mean, just ’cause they’re fast, doesn’t mean they’re INCREDIBLE…
yeah man dragonforce kicks ass, they have amazing rifts an in there songs the guitars are alive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
THEY DESERVED THAT BEST DUO EVER!
all you haters gotta come to understand! only a few of you morons hate on DragonForce, they fucking rule! so get over it.
Johan Soderberg/Olavi Mikkonen should of bloody won this!!!! the dragonforce boys are only good when there not wasted. opeth guitar is amazing, slipknot and LOG SUCK!!!!! and testament boys are jsut awesome but every album amon amarth have released the guitar work has been AMAZING!!
