The Official **** Dragonforce thread

Trollheart · 05-02-2017, 06:10 AM

Look, we all hate them, and I'm guilty of being one of the ones who once said "I don't get it, what's wrong with them?" I listened to, I think, Inhuman Rampage and thought it was ok. Then some years later I heard Maximum Overload and I thought "Hang on a minute! These are the very same runs, the same solos, the same riffs, the same sound effects ... in fact, the same everything!"

And lo! The (dragon) scales fell from my eyes and they were opened to the banality that is Dragonforce, and I saw them for what they were: cliche-ridden, teen-friendly, bandwagon-jumping talentless wankers who were the very parody of everything that is bad about power metal.

Praise Dio, I have been saved!

So come on, my friends....

No. If you've been following the "you love Dragonforce" accusations in the Music Banter Survivor thread, you'd know that it's actually the right time to start such a thread.

Hey, if someone can start a "**** Lars Ulrich" thread, I can start a "**** Dragonforce" one.

Let's get Chula in on it too

**** songwriting that only focuses on uninteresting masturbatory guitarwork.

Songwriting? Well, that's very generous of you!

I like the first record - solid power metal with flashy guitar acrobatics. Everything has its place.

They have been writing the same song ever since though.
