DragonForce

[Scrythe]

All I'm going to say for now is that DragonForce is a good studio band, and whoever their producer is deserves an award.

Hell, he's probably the same guy that makes teen pop stars sound so robotically good.

They only became 'worth listening to' after Guitar Hero came out... thats what irks me the most about how popular culture works. I get people to listen to some of my music, thinking they will like it. They haven't heard of it, its not in the mainstream, so they decide its not good... if it was good it would be popular right?

Then guitar hero comes out and its like one of my friends' favourites. But... why didn't you like them when I got you to listen to them?

Also in a hilarious coincidence I got out of them before they even were in guitar hero and became popular, so now I'm stuck disliking them while other people rage about how great they are.

Also, if their songs aren't all the same explain this to me... [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MIleK5CRcjo]

Pay special attention to how the music video fits all those songs, and also how similar they all sound... oh and come ON! Look at these song titles! Through the FIRE and the Flames, Star FIRE BLACK FIRE, BLACK Winter Night... and this isnt across an immense library of songs or anything... this is TWO ALBUMS! TWO!

I don't think they're bad per se but thats kind of astonishing to think about... also I don't much care for them anymore

That video explains it all pretty much. I tried getting into them at one point because my best friend was, and then i realized that they completely blew. The repetitiveness is certainly quite a drawback as well. The only song I like from them is "Dawn over a new world" because it has an almost 80sish solo in it. I think they got caught up in Through the Fire and the flames mania, wrote all their songs exactly like it, and turned into drunken bastards who don't deserve to sell another album

Dream Theater is way better, at least they can play their music.

Exactly. DT Plays with 100 times the passion that DF plays with and JP is 10 times the guitarist that Li AND Totman are. Not to mention Portnoy can actually play his drum beats and Labrie can keep his pitch the same live as he can on the albums. Dream Theater FTW!

How the hell could you say that without comparing John Myung to whoever the hell DF's bassist is, AND Dream Theater's keyboardist knocks whoever the hell that other guy is out of the water! I said hell too much in that sentence, you'll have to excuse me.....

I don't like DragonForce because they're incredibly immature to me.

I mean, I can't take a band that would have this [http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/0/02/Dragonforce_-_Ultra_Beatdown.jpg] as an album cover seriously.

Their whole image seems a tad immature. And Dragonforce sounds like a Power Rangers spin-off

 

[TerribleTerryTate]

Surely it's up to the an individual's opinion as to whether two songs (or all of them) sound the same, right?...Please? Just because you, yourself believe they have talent, and/or originality, doesn't mean everyone will.
They do nothing for me, personally. Nothing at all.

Except that Through the Fire and the Flames was on their 2007 album, long after their 2003 and 2004 albums had already been released... with similar sounding songs.

Nice try though.

This man is a genius.

 

[Chiddy]

I like their music, to bad they cant even play it ahahahah, they are good but no where near as good as the album versions, all the computer editing

 

[Salem_Wolf]

I like Dragonforce, the kind of speedy guitar sound that they do can't be easy in studio, let alone live. Everyone expects epicness but it's fact, bands CAN and WILL mess up their own songs in a live performance, some singers even LIP-SYNC to their OWN songs! People keep complaining they aren't that awesome live, but I highly doubt a single one of them could perform like they do. I will never be a good guitarist like that, hell my drums will be lackluster compared, but they have talent.

They have some damn hard songs to perform, not everyone likes them, and I respect that, but if you're going to trash them because they're a mess live...then 1up them and show us your stuff. No? Alright then.

Scratch that then: they wrote all their songs EXACTLY the same, and they got lucky with TTFATF, then they turned into drunken bastards who don't deserve to sell another album. Excuse me for not knowing my "Suckiest bands of the 00s" trivia.

HA!!!

Your Studioforce against my Rhapsody, lets see how they fare then.

Take away Herman Li's effect pedals, and he's not worth a mummer's fart. Playing fast doesn't make you a guitar master.

Not once have I heard Herman Li claim "I AM TEH GREATEST EVAR!!!"

I see what you did there.

And you weren't lying either. Someone get this man a toffee!

[Xbowhyena]

Every band has there specialty, for Dragonforce it's their lead guitar. Don't say you think they suck, you just don't like their music.

He doesn't, but plenty of people do.

Aye, I don't like their music, which leads me to believe they suck. XD

My Mistake. I figured I didnt need to explain that since everyone should know Myung is better than the no-name DF bassist and Jordan Rudess is on the Keyboardist Mount Rushmore with Kieth Emerson(ELP), Rick Wakeman(Yes), and Rick Wright (Pink Floyd). Didnt think they needed mentioning.
