ATTN: Dragonforce Fans
 
Please stop bumping every single thread that has the words "dragonforce" or "lame" (synonym to dragonforce in it) in it thank you.

OMG they are truly awful aren't they?!

TheDonald 01-11-2008 10:12 PM

They seem to PORTRAY a metal band than actually BE a metal band.

Laces Out Dan! 01-11-2008 11:44 PM

Far Beyond Driven 01-13-2008 06:33 PM

They can't actually take themselves seriously. Backstage I bet their like "dude, we are so terrible".

under 01-14-2008 08:47 PM

Fury Of the Storm is a great album to start with.

I started with Revolution Deathsquad but i still love them.

Dr_Rez 01-14-2008 10:46 PM

I personally do not like them, and think there whole image is corny and annoying. But there are 2 or 3 songs i dont mind, and that i feel actually have some music value to them.

ghostonstage135 01-17-2008 08:31 PM

I think their whole band is a joke... and after they stop making cash or they don't find it funny anymore they will break all their fans hearts. That will be epic.

under 01-18-2008 10:52 PM

i guess that they do seem to have but a few songs that really pop out to me. the rest are just annoying and Li just tries too hard. i wont be surprised when they break up. I mean i still really enjoy there music. But thinking about it. not as much as i used to.

Well, I would waste my time sharing my feelings about DragonForce, but it has already been done here.

1. Inhuman Rampage by Dragon Force

This is DragonForce.

If you can't already tell from their photo or name (which was either devised by a fifth grader or based on some horrible Nintendo role-playing game), DragonForce is a metal band. But they're not just any metal band. DragonForce is a living, breathing, walking cliché of such epic proportions, it makes Spinal Tap seem like an actual documentary.

To truly illustrate just how cliché these guys really are, I took a look at the lyrics from DragonForce's recent eight-song epic album, Inhuman Rampage, and here's what I found:
http://cdn-i.dmdentertainment.com/cr...ands/chart.jpg


Even with all the references to battles of steel and the burning of fire and flames, it's still pretty impressive that DragonForce was able to use the word "pain" an incredible 26 times in only eight songs (and that doesn't even count how many times it's repeated in the chorus). After listening to the lead singer's voice and watching their videos, it's most surprising that the word "pussy" doesn't appear once. That word was apparently not included with the Dungeons and Dragons magnetic poetry set the band used to write their lyrics.

I couldn't have said it better myself.

That said, I don't really agree with this being made sticky and causing the idea that a few peoples opinion are the official views of MB.

under 01-19-2008 10:36 PM

wow. never really noticed how many times they used pain until i actually look at that.

Halfa 01-24-2008 09:37 PM

Basically Dragonforce is 5 or 6 guys all jacking off on stage. Seriously there's no other way to describe it. The solo's require no phrasing whatsoever and the keyboard parts are really boring. If it was porn it would be the most boring unarrousing porn ever.

So really their talent seems to be wanking, which is really really boring. Basically, if you hear one song you've heard all of them.

GuitarBizarre 01-26-2008 01:27 PM

I love the way absolutely nobody here seems to get the whole 'humour' thing Dragonforce have going on.


Yes they're cheesy as hell. Thats the POINT.

Halfa 01-26-2008 02:31 PM

yea but i mean.....so many people are totally amazed by dragonforce and a lot of people i talk to who dont play any music take them seriously and think that they're "epic."

so it comes down to just a bunch of people liking the equivalent of bad porn.

and besides...didnt they get into G3 a couple years ago...? they're like the Red Hot Chili Peppers-only they're STILL a total joke.

I hate to break it to you but they actually take themselves seriously. They DO NOT consider themselves a joke band.

Wayfarer 02-19-2008 09:28 PM

That's a shame. Everyone else does.

Farfisa 02-20-2008 02:54 AM

yet people continue to make threads about them.......

ObiSobi 02-20-2008 11:51 AM

I seem to remember making a post a while back when I was new, something to the effect of "Bright Eyes sucks" on a Bright Eyes thread.

You bitches tore into me for that, and yet you are insulting Dragonforce and Dragonforce fans on what has become the Dragonforce thread.

tsk tsk...

Voice_of_the_Soul12,13,01 02-20-2008 01:40 PM

Well the logical solution is this; if Dragonforce would stop sucking, we would naturally stop insulting them. It's not our fault. The burden is on them.

Alfred 02-20-2008 02:06 PM

omg herman li is uber guitar playr eva

It is incredibly weird for you to say that, and then post one of the most amazing Dragonforce vids ever.

You play like the crazy Japanese guy and then we'll talk.

Rubber 02-20-2008 02:47 PM

That video leaves the taste of cheese in my mouth.

Yes, that's the point. It's one of the most amazing DragonForce videos ever, and yet it's a complete piece of shit. I'm not sure what's worse, the fact that the guitarists are playing completely out of time at the beginning, or the bassist's tongue flick at 1:40.

EDIT: Or the fact that people rip on the singer for having crappy teeth rather than his inability to sing live.

Rubber 02-20-2008 04:01 PM

Don't forget the guitarist sipping beer out of a straw while playing.
EPIC AMIRITE?

Blain 02-20-2008 05:17 PM

Haha
LOLOELZOR U R RITE


but srsly, Dragonforce suck and Herman Li is a funny name

That's because Bright Eyes are an amazing band,
whille Dragon Force are just horrible
That's all

Halfa 02-20-2008 10:43 PM

the sad part is....Dragon Force has the technical ability to be REALLY GOOD

but because they're so formulated and so...well....wanky
they're RELALY REALLY boring and not original in any way.

Muzak 02-21-2008 07:04 PM

what is the point of this thread? The mods like to use their powers to show their lack of tolerance of certain bands?

TheCaster 02-21-2008 07:31 PM

because at one point in time there were the 15 post groupies who made 6 dragonforce threads each.....

If there are plenty of threads about one band, we merge the developed ones and close the rest.

With Dragonforce it was even more extreme (haha) because we had random newbies coming along and bumping loads of ancient DF threads just to make inane posts.

Muzak 02-21-2008 07:49 PM

yeah but usually the tread isn't sticked.

Make an official Dragonforce thread and leave it at, that no need for this sticky.

But that's the thing... this is an extreme case because people either continually created new DF threads or bumped every one in existence, despite there being current ones already.

We might unsticky it and see what happens, but I'll have to talk to the other mods about that.


EDIT: Sorry, this post didn't make sense before I edited it. I can't think because my mate is playing Rhapsody of Fire at full volume and it's screwing with my head. :laughing:
