I really don't think anyone takes them seriously. How could they? It's silly tongue in cheek music. It's just fun.

I'm sorry guys, I liked Helloween a long time ago and that's where my power metal era ended for me. These guys, Dragonforce, is the funniest thing I've seen and heard in a long time. It's like a ADHD Donald duck-freak kid on steroids and I can't say I think it's good. I find it quite horrible to be honest and the solos are absolutely horrendous. Fast but really really bad and those guys need to concentrate a little bit on their "tone" as opposed to speed. They got the speed nailed down for sure!
This joke has been played on the metal scene so many times already and I aint laughing no more. Do you really think this is "metal"?? Maybe you're right, but if you are, I want out!
Shrug....!
Cheers guys

haaa DAM FUCKING STRAIGHT CHRIS!affinityband said:They just sound like a fat middleaged metalers wet dream.
AHHHHHH my god if he's talking about Symphony X then I wouldn't be too happy about it!Benighted1 said:Hey Mike
I gota say I agree with you on most of your comments about Dragonforce, but when you say your power era ended, does that include bands like Symphony X? Im not sure if they are what you would call power metal but I've always been curious to see what you think of them as a band & wether you have heard them. Personally I think they are brillant & Michael Romeo is an awesome player. What are your thoughts on these guys?
Thanks
