    Dragonforce's greatest hits album. A must buy!!

    Funny videos. Also funny how Petrucci makes a guest appearance. It's strange though that despite them supposedly being so fast, that Marty Friedman, who hasn't really been into shred lately, beat them in playing hammer-ons and pull-offs in Marty's show a while back.

    Symphony X meets the LOLZ craze

    Hugh Syme reused the artwork for Rush's 'Vapor trails.' Hugh Syme rules. Btw Lepond's LOLZ is funniest for me.

    FYI. The background in the Neil Peart picture originally came out in Megadeth's 'Cryptic writings.'
