The meeting between the two famous guitarists took place more than 10 years ago, during the Mr. Big show.

“I went to see Mr. Big at Shepherd’s Bush Empire [localizado em Londres, Inglaterra] in 2011, and Brian May was there. Everyone wanted to talk to him, everyone was watching him, and I thought, ‘Obviously, I don’t want to piss off Brian May.’ I know what it’s like to be a guitarist at a show, with people pulling your ear.

Then all of a sudden he came up to me and said, ‘Hey, Herman, how are you?’. What the hell is that?! Brian May came to talk to me! He likes Dragonforce! That was a shock to me!” revealed Herman, who in the same interview talked about the game “Guitar Hero”, which helped popularize Dragonforce.

“‘Guitar Hero’ was very important for metal – not just for Dragonforce, but for all guitar music. With guitar music, waves come and go; it’s popular, then it’s not popular, it’s hard to say for what reason. But ‘Guitar Hero’ definitely got a young generation to listen to guitars and gave them a choice, really, between what they hear on the radio and what they don’t hear on the radio. Tim Henson is an example of that generation ; he played Guitar Hero when he was a kid and now he’s a guitar hero.”

Dragonforce’s most recent work is “Warp Speed ​​Warriors”, released on March 15th.
