Title: Dragonforce
Post by: BLS-Pride on May 19, 2006, 12:08:38 AM
I'm pretty new to this band. From what I heard its pretty kick ass metal. Very 80's influneced which is done quite good.

dragonforce.com has tracks up and from what I heard they are pretty good..

Anyone know about these guys?

Yeah, and they're "extreme power metal".  :hihi: They're fast as hell and they have amazing guitar solos, but I find their songwriting repetitive and lacking at times. It's basically what you get from cloning Yngwie Malmsteen and making a whole band out of him. It's great in small doses, but I don't listen to Dragonforce too much. It's cheesy, fun, guilty-pleasure metal that I enjoy occasionally.

Ah yeah.. I like the guitar work. I don't think they won me over to the point where I will buy a CD from them. Small doses seems to be right for them.

They are.....well, boring

It all ends up sounding the same - might be good from a technical point of view but its rather emotionless stuff, maybe the first instance of a band thats better to watch than hear!

Yeah, Izzy i agree. Its all a bit samey to me. I do like a little, mainly because i enjoyed watching the video and the guitarists facial gestures whilst getting all twiddly on our asses.

BLS touched on "Small Doses". Spot on! With that being said, ill probably watch em on the Sunday, as ill be stoned!

i think they're a great band but like most power metal bands that write about dragons and ancient kingdoms and lords and that kinda stuff.. it gets really boring.. such a shame seeing as how the guitarists are amazing

They're great fun.  Saw them live already and will make sure I see them at Download.  Herman's a great guitarist, wacky as fuck.  They have some cool chorus'  :hihi:

Get the 1st album first, its outrageous fun.

Yeah I've heard them and I agree with Izzy i've heard that kinda play before, is not that bad, but is nothing too good to buy a record and sutff, 5/10 for me.

These guys were probably the worst band I saw on Gods of Metal.

Awful look and style, type of music they play is nothing new, it's already heard million of times.

You should see guitarist's stage appearance. At first I thought guy is a retard or something.

Stay away, stay away from this band.  :nervous:

WTF? STFU.

I saw Dragonforce for the 2nd time at Download yesterday, they are cool as fuck.  I hope to hell you're not slating Herman Li mate, that is one hell of a guitar player.

Calm down, boy.

That's just my opinion.

I donno if that's Sherman or Herman or whoever, but the fact is - guy is funny as a shit.
