Im with you guys.
I hate this band.

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

lets all have a non-faggy-guitar-wankery-power-metal hug

 

[AsModEe]

bought one album that I listened like 10 times before realizing it was all the same. Meh I approve of this thread.

 

[Ryan VH]

i think theyre alright. only a couple songs i like. im going to see them in concert next week to see how they are live

 

[NeonBlack69]

Yea, they blow.

I'm not able to listen to the whole album at once but I don't think they are really bad. The first 2 tracks from Inhuman Rampage kick ass. The rest are good too, except for the power ballad at the end. I can really only listen to like 3 or 4 songs of their's at a time.

If you want to bash power metal, besides that there are worse bands like Helloween, Kotipelto, Dark Moor, Gayngra, Crapsody etc, bash the obligatory power metal ballad. Every band has one and they always suck.

Nevermore, Evergrey, Tad Morose, Savatage etc, the real powerful metal bands, all have those ballads because they really feel the need for it. Not because some faggy power metal kid needs one. That's why the latter bands' ballads kick ass while the earlier ones sound gay and shitty.

jeff loomis said that nevermore is not power metal

 

[Metal head87]

They aren't, they are powerful metal. I don't call Evergrey power metal either (dark-prog is what I would label them), but they are very powerful in their sound. Iced Earth, Jag Panzer, Metal Church, old Savatage, Manowar etc too.

 

[Ryan VH]

ah i see. i mis read your post, my bad

I enjoy Dragonforce and will be the first person in the venue Sept 16th.

 

[Ryan VH]

im seeing them the day i get back from this backpacking retreat im going on with my school. going to be all tired and shit but the concert will be worth it. i shouldnt be going on this trip though because of my shoulder injury. im gona have to care 40 pounds on my back for 5 miles everyday

 

[Lies and Perfidy]

Dragonforce is probably the far edge of cheesiness for me - they have this sort of complete sincerity that lifts them above the likes of Hammerfall, Rhapsody, Sonata Arctica, and such bands. Plus, they're fucking incredible musicians.

You're inciting war here, Max. I'd watch it with these threads.
