Dragonforce

Post by Emagdnim »

Anyone Listen to these guys? I'm not really a metal fan, but my brother introduced me to them, and I'd say they have become one of my favorite bands..

They're a power metal band from the UK, and are very very very musically talented, they play some of the fastest and best guitar riffs I've ever heard...pretty catchy songs too.

Yeah! Dragonforce is a great band. Their solos are totally nuts.

Personally, I'm into metal a lot, but it seems as though Dragonforce has taken a big turn towards the mainstream, hence a lot of people I know that don't listen to metal know about them and like them.

I agree though, they're talented and play fucking fast.

Dragonforce is really good, yeah. A few other bands that are sort of slightly neo-classical like dragonforce are Children of Bodom, Dream Theater, and believe it or not: In Flames.

I agree with you on that one.. Dragonforce is terrible, and to make it worse, the albums are so overproduced that when you see them live, it's a huge dissapointment. Listen to Opeth for quality metal..
Oh, the irony..

In flames beats dark tranquility... actually dark tranquility was the band that translated in flames' lyrics. they both have pretty cool music. and CoB is amazing. Alexi's voice isnt the greatest but they are fuckin kickass live.

Ugh, I hate this band. Matter of fact, I hate all of these epic, poppy powermetal bands coming into the mainstream. They're almost as bad as the emo bands we all know and love. (or don't)

Avenged Sevenfold and Dragonforce are the only bands in this genre I know of, and I hope I don't find out about any more.

:shock: Avenged sevenfold and Dragonforce arent similar. A7X makes songs that are more music, while dragonforce has the same Approach as dream theater (more super fast riffs displaying talent rather than working for the song).

Edit:

And another point, A7X isnt a poppy powermetal band. Infact, theyre barely metal.
