My official "Dragonforce blows" thread (Video inside)[views:12643][posts:55]___________________________________ [Aug 11,2006 11:58am - Cecchini ""] Yea, so I saw this band at Ozzfest and I was hoping that they'd be awesome, but they are such shitty musicians live... except the drummer. Their guitar players blow (I have always said they were flashy, not good), their singer can't sing for shit and they can't write a song for shit. I don't know why I am venting about this now, but i found this video that basically sums them up live: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ubv4m5ylXBw thats basically how they sounded at ozzfest haha. |
| ______________________________ [Aug 11,2006 11:59am - pam ""] Fuck yeah! I hate this fucking band. |
| ______________________________________ [Aug 11,2006 12:00pm - sacreligion ""] considering the ridiculousness of the music they play that isnt too bad the singer isnt sucking at all...the guitars sound like they're a little out of tune, some of the notes in the solo were off, but they did pretty good with the rhythm shit which is retardedly fast as well |
| ________________________________________ [Aug 11,2006 12:01pm - hung_to_bleed ""] Can't say that I am a fan myself. Don't get me wrong, they are as talented as you could possibly get, just not my cup of tea. |
| ______________________________ [Aug 11,2006 12:05pm - pam ""] I consider talent the ability to write a memorable song, not tapdance all over a fretboard while jumping on trampolines. |

| ___________________________________ [Aug 11,2006 12:07pm - Archaeon ""] they're out of tune or something that doesnt mean they suck live |
| ___________________________________ [Aug 11,2006 12:09pm - Cecchini ""] they stuff they play isn't hard, they run through patterns that are pretty natural for your hands which makes it even worse that they fuck everything up. |
| ___________________________________ [Aug 11,2006 12:10pm - Cecchini ""] Archaeon said:they're out of tune or something that doesnt mean they suck live this thread is about how i saw them live at ozzfest and how bad they were, the video is just funny. |
| ______________________________________ [Aug 11,2006 12:12pm - sacreligion ""] ill agree that the leads aren't as good as the polished recordings, but that's the only fault i see with it i still think they're pretty good, to me it's refreshing when compared to pretty much every metal band that comes out nowadays |
| ______________________________ [Aug 11,2006 12:14pm - pam ""] WHAT? When I saw them I hummed along with every song, songs I've never heard...how is that refreshing? |
| ___________________________________ [Aug 11,2006 12:15pm - Cecchini ""] haha yea dragonforce is power metal at its most generic. |
| ______________________________________ [Aug 11,2006 12:16pm - sacreligion ""] if you start reading my mind im going to have to kill you they're different than all the bands that come out trying to be uber br00tal |

| _________________________________________ [Aug 11,2006 12:24pm - VoidExpression ""] I'm glad someone else totally recognizes the suckassness of them live. When I saw them it was a huge muddy clusterfuck that made that video sound awesome. The records are fun to listen to just because it's prety catchy, but they can't play out for shit. |
| ______________________________ [Aug 11,2006 12:26pm - pam ""] Power-metal-by-numbers. bowwwwing |
| ______________________________ [Aug 11,2006 12:28pm - mOe ""] yea, i'm sure Black Label Society kicked so much ass, though... |
| _____________________________________________ [Aug 11,2006 12:28pm - watchmaker666 nli ""] They have a fucking keytar player! How is that not awesome? |
| _________________________________ [Aug 11,2006 12:30pm - Abbath ""] power metal, i just don't get it |
| ______________________________ [Aug 11,2006 12:30pm - pam ""] BLS is horrible, too. ...I must admit the Keytar is pretty excellent. |
| ______________________________________ [Aug 11,2006 12:36pm - sacreligion ""] i had a keytar when i was 5...it was awesome |

| ______________________________________ [Aug 11,2006 1:03pm - BlackoutRick ""] HAHAHAHAHA!! Yeah, I bought their new cd and the individual photos of the members are like them jumping and it looks kinda gay. |
| ___________________________________ [Aug 11,2006 1:05pm - contagion ""] dragonforce is gay. listen to cellador. |

| _____________________________ [Aug 11,2006 1:09pm - mOe ""] you know me all too well you wanna know why because i've waited here for you for so very long waaaoowwwwaaaoohhhhwwooooooawww |

| __________________________________ [Aug 11,2006 1:13pm - Cecchini ""] i think your just mad because there are no semi-emo vocal lines in BLS like FASW has. |
| __________________________________ [Aug 11,2006 1:16pm - Cecchini ""] wait wait wait, this anger stems back to Raising Kubrick doesn't it? someone who cites FASW and the deftones as two of his favorite bands should never bash what somebody else listens to. |
| ______________________________ [Aug 11,2006 1:18pm - blue ""] dammit, you figured it out. |
| __________________________________ [Aug 11,2006 1:20pm - Cecchini ""] i want you to have my child blue, we'll name him oswald. oz for short. |
| _____________________________ [Aug 11,2006 1:27pm - mOe ""] i'll put it this way and hopefully end it FASSW - dudes who make honest music and care deeply about their fans BLS - headed by zakk wylde, some dude who thinks he's god's gift to metal and wouldnt piss on anyone on this board if they were on fire |
| __________________________________ [Aug 11,2006 1:30pm - Cecchini ""] boy, i would agree with you. but when i met zakk he talked to me and my g/f for a good 20 or so mins when he didn't have to with a line of people waiting to meet him, and to top it off, he bought everyone beer. |
| __________________________________ [Aug 11,2006 2:34pm - brian_dc ""] That video is very amusing. I think they couldn't hear. I saw them in Poughkeepsie a few weeks ago, and no they weren't tight as hell or anything, but they weren't bad. I do agree that they are flashy, mindless stuff. But it is fun. Anyone who asked me, "Were they good?" I'd say "no, but they were fun." Fun isn't such a bad thing. |
| __________________________________________ [Aug 11,2006 2:35pm - TheGreatSpaldino ""] contagion said:dragonforce is gay. listen to cellador. hahaha yeah... because they didnt start playing music to sound like Dragonforce or anything... |
| ______________________________ [Aug 11,2006 3:21pm - Yeti ""] Dragonforce is grotesquely overrated. |
| ______________________________ [Aug 11,2006 3:32pm - nick ""] this band is gayer than anything. |
| _______________________________________ [Aug 11,2006 5:36pm - Y_Ddraig_Goch ""] You won't be seeing much more of dragonforce after the year is over. |

| ____________________________________________________ [Aug 12,2006 7:50pm - babyshaker not logged in ""] wow i expected more from this band live...i enjoy there albums although most power/progressive winds up all sounding the same to me after awhile except for BG. |

| __________________________________ [Aug 13,2006 12:05pm - cavnli ""] when i saw them at metalfest and ozzfest i was kinda thinking that if they just stood there and played the parts they could probably be a lot tighter but they are running around trying to put on a show too. i dont blame them, but yea that video clip sounds like ass. |
| ____________________________________ [Aug 13,2006 8:15pm - PatMeebles ""] Vocal Rhythms, Melodies, melodic climaxes, etc. all sound the same Guitar riffs, melodies, chord changes, Movement from the relative minor to the relative major key, are all the same. They write with a musical stencil. "Power-Metal-by-Numbers" is right |
| _____________________________ [Aug 13,2006 8:16pm - pam ""] I only speak the truth. |
