Poll: Why the hate for Dragonforce?

[Trifer420]

They are a great band until they became uncool when they gained a ton of fans through GH3.

TTFATF was from their THIRD album. I loved them long before that. When they performed in small time areas.

same, I liked their first album, (mostly because of Valley of the Damned) I think that's my favorite song out of all of them.

Through all their skill, they have no talent.

*PS. I hope they die.

I liked "Through The Fire And Flames", but so does everyone...

Thats all I've got really.

I have no idea who they are. Where's the "I don't know them" or "I'm indifferent" option? Please add either.

Thats usually the "Don't Vote" option.

Take away their effect pedals, and you'll see how little talent Dragonforce really has.

I'd take Rhapsody of Fire over them any day.

 

[Lexodus]

I love Dragonforce. That's all I have to say about that.

Really now. I must torture you.

Alot of there songs sound very similar and they do have a bad repuation live. When ive seen them they where nothing amazing but it was medicre at best. A very over rated band to say the least and i think if they got alot better sound equipment for there live shows i think that will probably help them out a bit as everything seems to drown out everything else live so its impossible to hear much of anything except for noise and lyrics.

Its also very annoying to see there rise in popularity when people refer back to guitar hero all the time.

Power metal, (and symphonic power metal) is, IMO the absolute peak of musical quality.

Thats usually the "Don't Vote" option.

But... but... that wouldn't result in a representative poll!
Thanks for adding the option, crazyhaircut.

 

[skcseth]

I like them. Never thought to use the word repetitive but that's a good way to put it.
Then again, if it ain't broke, don't fix it I guess.

 

[The Riff]

I don't hate them, but their songs are pretty repetitive and i am so sick of that "Through fire and flames" song.

[SecretTacoNinja]

I don't take them at all seriously but I don't hate them...

 

[Mrsoupcup]

Well for me I like classic rock and metal has never been my thing. Drangon forces music sounds more like people playing instruments at the same time really loudly over each other, competing to see who can be the loudest.

 

[dumblydore16]

Mmm. I just think they're boring.. Their lyrics are really cheesy and meaningless, and I can't even tell their songs apart because EVERYTHING SOUNDS THE SAME!
I'm not really biased genre-wise either, considering that I WILL listen to any genre of music.

goddamn it now if i didnt quote you i would be caught for plagiarism

 

[Mr0llivand3r]

who cares if they are a little repetitive? that just means their music is awesome over and over again

 

[thisaccountisdead]

ok BUT..... there repetitive and r they fake???

 

[Panken]

DragonForce is nothing but guitar solos. Kick ass guitar solos are fun to listen to when it is only the guitar playing, but when you get a drum beat, singing, and another guitar trying to play along with it, the song gets cluttered and annoying.

 

[rockingnic]

This is why Dragon Force isn't as good as they sound...

1) They play their music then speed it up for their albums.
2) Because of #1, they can't play at concerts even if their lives depended on it.
3) Almost all their songs are the same, just mixed up a little bit and each song only has a couple of "original" parts and even those sound almost the same as others.
4) There's Dream Theater, they play music just as fast as DF but they can actually play their songs. Avenged Sevenfold also has a song called "Burn it Down" that songs like DF but I like it alot better because it DOESN'T sound like their other songs.

I don't hate DF but I think they're decent, good at most. There's better bands out there.

no that's Slayer. there's like 20 seconds in every slayer song where the sound recordists just say, "ok, everybody just do something. anything as long as it's really loud and obnoxious" and that's what it ends up being
