Members redqueen Posted December 17, 2006 Members Share Posted December 17, 2006 It's a non-stop shredfest all of "Inhuman Rampage". Corny songs, but it's awesome none the less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ThrashmetalErik Posted December 17, 2006 Members Share Posted December 17, 2006 Originally posted by WarriorJames so is it true that DRAGONFORCE sucks balls live? I watched that video that someone posted and they sounded horrible. SOunded like one of the guitarist was out of tune and off time. At ozzfest they sounded bad because they had no soundcheck (at least the one i was dragged to), ozzfest has become a bad joke anyway. I saw them at their own show and they sounded fine, their fun to listen to and even if they took themselves completly seriously their show is still entertaining and epic. Disturbed had a better show because the sound people or whoever it was in charge actually gave them a proper soundcheck, and they had more fans at ozzfest, no suprise to me.

Members OverDriven Posted December 17, 2006 Members Share Posted December 17, 2006 I love one song by Dragonforce...Fullmoon. Its so incredibly cheesy that I listen to it and end up laughing uncontrollably. Its seriously a great song, but its hilarious. Anyone know what I mean?

Members XspiderfingersX Posted December 17, 2006 Members Share Posted December 17, 2006 That band got old really fast. Obnoxious vocals to boot. Being that i play in a death metal band, what i am about to say is a bit preverse, however: I HATE PEOPLE THAT THINK THE GUITAR IS A SPORT. Its not athletics, it's art. What people like Vai, Petrucci, and Malmsteen do to the instrument only dilutes it. That's why people make parodies of them on youtube. It is impressive that they can play fast and clean, but its an instrument which is meant for use in creating SONGS, not running fretboard marathons. There are fast players and skilled players who still manage to be artistic about playing guitar and make listenable songs: IE Eric Johnson, Satriani, and even guys like Danny Gatton could be thrown in there because he was just as fast and clean as any of the above. Scale studies shouldnt be the focal point of a song. Who the {censored} is with me? ...commence ibanez owners hate thread.....NOW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LithiumZero Posted December 17, 2006 Members Share Posted December 17, 2006 Originally posted by adiohead argh, you need to stop listening to the technical aspects and start listening to the songs. songs about lightning and mountains are gay +10000000000000!!!!!I would have thought that they were cheesy 20 years ago.

Members Chudanez Posted December 17, 2006 Members Share Posted December 17, 2006 I still think of the word shred as a bad thing Hate shred music unless it's original. Yngwie's first album was great, all of Steve Vai's albums i like (cause they're musical), all of Dream Theater's albums i like (cause they're musical), but i could never listen to albums or artists that advertise themselves as the fastest in the world, or the fastest this or that... It just means they have to replace music with skill, and if i want that, i'll play some exercises.Some things i DO consider good are musically advance and technically advanced would be:Guthrie Govan (t3h rular)Allan HoldsworthShawn LaneThose 3 guys some people would consider shred, but if you listened to a Guthrie Govan song, and then a Chris Impellitteri song or something...Well, one of them is a song, the other is an exercise workout.

Members indespise Posted December 17, 2006 Members Share Posted December 17, 2006 Originally posted by Sins_&_Shadows well, i hope i'm wrong, because i {censored}ing hate dragonforce. but even you must admit that most of the newer players couldn't touch people like malmsteen, petrucci, satch, and vai. Most of those "newer players" are in bands, not shred albums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Romanian Reaper Posted December 17, 2006 Members Share Posted December 17, 2006 I just think there comes a point where people are trying to shove too many notes, fast drums, and medivel lyrics into a song. I tried listening to Dragonforce the other day in the Borders store and I just couldn't get anything out of it. I like old thrash and faster stuff but the newer stuff is almost too polished and perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KoaFreak Posted December 17, 2006 Members Share Posted December 17, 2006 Anytime I think about hating them, the sympathy begins. I mean just watch that "candid" instructional video.

Exactly! Everything sounded fine to me live. perhaps not note for note but close enough to the point where i say who cares this show is {censored}ing cool regardless, if it sounds good, its allright in DFs case.
