True facts about Dragonforce!

I don't get Dragonforce.

The only peopel who listen to them are those guitar hero'ers. They can't play live at all. They just play a bunch of notes really fast.

The worst part is that every single song sounds identical. That singer is god awful.:scowl:

I figured it out, its cause the singer sings the same rhythms!

Listen to that video and try humming Through the fire and the Flames.

I know people who loved them before guitar hero and that confused me.
 
This one time I was noodling in the school courtyard on my baritone ukulele and my (emphatically non-musical) friend comes up to me and says, "Yo I gotta go in like 5 minutes but can you teach me how to play 'Through The Fire And The Flames'?"
 
Thank you for mentioning this awesome band, I've never heard about them but I saw this this and now I'm a dragonforce fan.
:hiding:



Oh no,

That was at Graspop. :hmm:
Our national and international respected yearly metal fest.
I was there that year, but didn't saw them.
(I saw Nevermore though, that is always awesome. :bassist:



Yeah, belgian standards are low.

Just listen to our nationally "famous" alternative rockbands.
I wanna emigrate. :help:

Why can't we be more like Germany, Scandinavia and deliver decent metal bands. Even the Netherlands and Italy are proud to have some metal pearls.
And I admit that even the US still have 1 or 2 decent metal bands these days. :D
 
My dad, on Al DiMeola:

"If Al DiMeola was paying me to see him play, across the street from my house, not only would I not go see him but I'd probably walk a couple of blocks in the opposite direction just to make sure I couldn't hear him."
 
Dragonforce... HAHAHA, I HATE DRAGONFORCE!

Nooo no one wants to play REAL guitar, they wanna play through fire and flames and go have crazy homosexual butt secks. I hear that song and i wanna shoot myself. My friend's had competition's to see who could play that song on hyper mode 5 on expert (if you dont know its the fastest hardest setting), sitting there, listening to it.. OVER AND OVER.. my musical brain box couldnt even drown it out! Then when I express my feelings towards the song (which is a REALLY bad idea when youre in a room full of the Dragon-Fan-Force), i got my head ripped off pretty much.

Dude, don't hang out with 12y-olds and you will never be in such situations.
You expressed your opinion on Dragonforce the way they play music...
