I just went with the
Wikipedia page, but it could be a lie, or a different power-metal-singing-Marc Hudson, I guess? If I'm wrong, my bad.
There is noone participating in the AINA album by the name of Marc Hudson, there is no character even in the story named 'Wolfgang'. I own the album and it lists every single person involved with the project in a thick booklet.
Plus as Michael said, Marcus would have only been around 15.
I guess my problem is following your style vs. stagnation, the latter of which I think the Force is really coming close to if they haven't hit that mark already.
Concerning Vad... I really hope he doesn't use that DJ equipment he bought last year on the new album! I miss his look circa Valley of the Damned/Sonic Firestorm, when he was just another longhair
I agree with alot of your points Michael, especially the ones you made over at the DragonForce forums as you went into more detail.
i remember him being very arrogant about his singing against his competitions and to other youtube comments.
I'm glad someone remembers this besides me and isn't just eating up the 'niceties'.
Not surprised one bit that a Dragonforce thread has flared up a few past grudges and played out sentiments. A knee-jerk reaction but perhaps not one totally without justification. I've certainly become disillusioned with the band.
Many have over the years, I hold no grudges against the 'band'.
As an old DF fan who doesn't really care for anything past Sonic Firestorm and barely listens to them at all these days...I still get a bit irked by the 'harsh' comments of Shredgirl et al because it seems so prejudice and judgemental when we're talking about a new guy trying to bring something new to a band which desperately needs it.
Well I make no apologies for my opinions and thoughts, no matter how anyone takes them, I am blunt and have a razor sharp tongue, I warned everyone of this.
Maybe judge him on his own merits
I have.
before dimissing him as a 'jackass' or contributing nothing to DF's current/future sound. Unless I'm missing something about the guy, based on his performance in that video alone, I think he's alright; did a good job.
I was being polite by calling him a jackass, you are indeed missing alot, just read dreamchaser's comment and speculate it for a minute.
Studio enhanced? That's a bit naïve; welcome to music production!
Yes, I've been around musical production long enough to know the ins and outs, but my point was the blatant use of the extra production that didn't even sound natural. Albeit, only a demo recording, it shows his flaws.
Maybe the next album will just be more of the same but it seems odd to berate him for not being ZP and then at the same time wanting something different from DF.
Well I have not berated him for not being ZP, I have voiced my opinion of ZP on the DragonForce forums that he was always the "weakest link" in the band in my opinion. :Smug:
Tough crowd is right, DF fans or people who still care enough to follow their news, want to have their cake and eat it too.
I don't eat cake.
