THE MOSH PIT (metal section of this Fourm)

[Rune]

Who and what did I just witness? Sounds like either Iron Maiden or Nocturnal Rites.

[Asch]

Damn, for a moment I thought that was Blind Guardian.  Fucking awesome.

[Moss.]

Like I said, Symphony X > *

[Malson]

The Odyssey is honestly one of my favorite songs of all time.

Dragonforce is better then Metalica!

Valley of the Damned contains 6:55 min with Metal and good Text!
Trough the fire and flames is also good!!!!

anaway.....Wintersun was also good

Dragonforce sounds generic to the point of it being painfull. They're literally the Ratt of power metal. I don't understand hw anyone can listen to them and not think they're hearing a rejected track from Helloween.

[Malson]

Helloween's a bad example. If anything, DragonForce is most similar to Blind Guardian simply because of the speed metal influence.

[SexualBubblegumX]

But you still got my point that they sound too generic.

[Malson]

The same could be said of a lot of power metal bands.

[SexualBubblegumX]

Yes, there are many that sound generic but can still be enjoyed. Savage Circus is coming to mind. But with Dragonforce I literally have a hard time telling who it is when I hear them because all of their songs sound like rejected tracks form other bands.

Hence my point, Dragonforce = Ratt.

their not in the same league as Blind Guardian

[haloOfTheSun]

You're right, they're actually better musicians.

[SexualBubblegumX]

I disagree, Blind Guardian has their own sound. Dragonforce does not. Thats like saying store brand cola tastes better than pepsi.

[haloOfTheSun]

I like Blind Guardian more than Dragonforce, but that doesn't mean Blind Guardian are better at playing their instruments.

And yes all of Dragonforce's songs (or most, not all) are very similar, but so are Iron Maiden's, yet they are popular and widely considered one of the best metal bands of all time.

I didn't say they don't have ability, it would be igroant of me to say that. I think if they lived up to their potential they could be great band. But as we've both pointed out all their songs sound more or less the same, which I feel holds them back harshly. When Dragonforce gets their own sound, honestly I'd like them. But because they sound like ten other bands, they don't live up to what they could be.

[Nightwolf]

The Odyssey is honestly one of my favorite songs of all time.

Also, Death Of A Balance/Larcymosa.

Symphony X rules u c
