Of course, they play that fast because they record their parts at a slower speed, and then play them back at a faster tempo in the studio...

Well, I don't think anyone is debating whether their music should be taken seriously. After all, the name of the band is DragonForce.AngraRULES said:
If I saw them live, I'd probably be totally into them. But on disc, I find myself reaching for something else two tracks in. As I always say, to each their own.

Im sorry but they do not play the faster than anybody. Though i dont agree with mr. zod about the tempo's, i surely do not agree with you. Listen to some CRYPTOPSY, DYING FETUS, or HATE ETERNAL. Check out FLO MOUNIER extreme metal drumming 101 dvd. Or KEVIN TALLEY, if it wasnt for his attitude maybe he could stay in one band, currently filling in for diff. bands after leaving CHIMIARA, but his best work is def. in DYING FETUS.
I will def. be checking out DRAGONFORCE at the NEMHF, as i am new to this band.
There's a difference between playing fast, and playing something challenging fast.
I saw Hate Eternal. Nowhere near as shredalicious as DF.

True, although DF's drummer can't carry Roddy's jockstrap, at least from what I've heard - not that he's bad, just that Roddy's that good. HE is pretty boring, though, despite being excellent players. Composition is important. (Of course, that's one of the things I don't like about DF, either - I think their writing is rather weak.)
Weak, or cheesy and cliched? I kinda dig their songwriting, but they certainly have a predictable formula.

To me, there's not much difference - to rely totally on the formula is to be a weak writer. Kamelot uses the same general types of cheese and writes much better songs, since they don't rely on the formula to do their work for them, IMO.
Hmm.... okay... yeah cuz you can have all the cheese in the world. As long as you've got lots of different flavors, everyone's satisfied, right?

Exactly. I don't have a problem with DF existing - or being popular - but I like people to know why I don't like something, instead of just saying "that band sucks, man."
This thread has gone all over the place, yet stayed on-topic. Pretty cool.

hmm... Cleveland? and people are coming? perhaps I'll make an appearance... the main reason I hardly ever go to shows here is because I don't know anyone, and there's really never anyone here worth talking to (and believe me, I've tried)... the metal scene sucks around here for the most part, and the audiences are no better. We could use some visitors.
not that I'm any kind of Dragonforce fan, but I have to admit I've only listened to them once. It could be a pretty fun night!

They seem to play very cleanly live to me. <shrug>

I'll tell ya right now that it's a studio track layered and synched with a live performance video. Too much mastering, not enough crowd noise, and where is that backup guitar part coming from when they're doing the harmony part in the beginning?
Clean or not, nobody will probably be able to tell. If they have enough money to travel overseas, they have enough money to get a soundguy to mix them to make them sound good. That having been said, I think they'd probably play clean live anyway.
