Dragon force albums sound a bit too perfect, then you hear them live and they can barely keep up in their own songs. Not to mention it's a bit sloppy live because they are running around the stage instead of focusing on the tricky parts. Herman Li can play well, I"ve seen video of him playing and he's got chops. But all the live vid I've seen of them is really bad.
The end of the first vid is spot on as gabe said, it's more about putting a bit of soul in and having fun. That tornado of souls solo is far from perfect/clean, there is some 'stank" in it as he says. But people still love it cause it's a killer solo that works with the track.
Drums have fallen victim to this in extreme music. Guys using drum triggers and replacing all the drums with midi drums so they can be perfectly quantized and played faster than any human could pull off. Bands feel they have to push it to be more extreme than last years music

Hm that does not make sense to me, you can't quantize sloppy notes to sound good (quantize just fixes timing issues).
