Dragonforce! What's the big deal?

[The Heartbreak Kid]

1. Also a worthless argument
2. Age doesn't have jack shit to do with this.

True

Unless AM starts acting very immature I don't see the point in bringing up his age, etc etc.

It's so funny when a band becomes more popular around here, causing the boo-birds to come out and start putting the band under a mega microscope (Hellloooooo Opeth).

You can like em, hate em, who cares. They're selling a load of albums right now, they're playing their own headlining shows to decent sized venues, and selling quite a few of them out. They've always done the same thing from their EP right through to their latest album. They are what they are, they don't care what jack rod opinion givers think.

They're in Hot Topic stores too...oh yeah, Slayer junk is sold there too, and didn't Slayer have an exclusive Hot Topic CD or piece of merchandise? Let's start hacking on Slayer now, for all the same reasons.

Go!

 

[Vacant_Planets]

I get the point, and yes it's true, and it's true on other forums I've been on. However I dislike Opeth, popular or not.

You are now my Hero. No joke

Seriously, what the fuck was up with that HT-exclusive EP? It was one fucking song! And sure it had bonus footage, but most Slayer fans already own one or more of their live DVDs. I just don't see the point. Could Slayer be a sellout? *gasp*

I never really liked Slayer all that much.

 

[Vacant_Planets]

Slayer is okay, nothing special.

 

[Oblivious Maximus]

I like them. Every song on Inhuman Rampage gets stuck in my head. My only complaint is the lyrics. Like every song has a line thats something like "through the fire/flames/rain", and something about reaching for a "day" and the "distant sun"

I agree. Also, the second line of "Operation Ground and Pound" is "storming through the burning fields", which is the title of the previous track. Real creative, guys. I don't listen to them for their lyrics, though. They never struck me as being too dynamic with their subject matter.

 

[Blinded By Blood]

Dragonforce songs all sound the same imo

 

[Hatebreeder]

I wouldn't go THAT far, but yes, they seem to follow a certain template for songwriting. Their previous works had more of a variety of styles whilst their new one focuses mainly on their speedy playing.

2. you are 16

o rly?

i was convinced he was like my age and just really really sad... guess that's less sad... not rly...

 

[MetalBooger]

the only thing i dont like about DF is hermen lee or li, whatever the fuck his name is, he reminds me of this azn trash dude at my school, his face is makes me distrust the band, anyways, DF is a good power metal band, if you doint like power metal i can understand why many of you think they suck. Also, because they are a generally flamboyant band, if you dont have rather large balls you may feel insecure listening to them, most power metal listeners have huge balls the size of meteorites, so we dont really need to worry.

 

[Vacant_Planets]

hahahaha. That's great.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

seriously, put me in there to sing and they quickly become 2x better.

 

[A1a23]

Probably true. The vocals in DF seem to turn down the majority of metal heads.

 

[Hatebreeder]

Yeah, his voice is rather unremarkable for the most part. But to me it fits well with the music, so I enjoy it.

 

[Teh Grimace]

enjoying something that you admit is unremarkable just because it doesn't get in the way is lame.

 

[Evil?]

Krig, imagining you singing power metal, Dragonforce songs in particular is hilarious. I'm not doubting that you can, I am just saying the image is hilarious.
