A Power Metal band. Most people that hate DragonForce have only heard their 1 popular song and don't actually know anything else about them, but just NEED to hate them. People that have actually seen them live and not on videos, would probably all agree they're great. And they are.
DragonForce is great.

The act of creating music when you don't have even a faint trace of musicality, aesthetics or humanism. Writing music so stale and forced only adolescents who are blind to the fact you have nothing whatsoever to say or offer society can listen to it.
"Did you hear the latest song by Soulja Boy, Man he's taking DragonForcing to a whole new level!" or "Man, Even Paris Hilton DragonForced out an album!"

Dragonforce is a band that sings about dragons and likes to play the same cord over and over again and throw in a couple of gay notes and call it a song
1. dragonforce is gay because all they sing about is killing dragons and then chopping of their nuts and then stuff the left nut in the dragon's mouth and then eat the right nut for breakfast the next day
2. wow if there were no words in this song i could not tell if this is "through the fire and the flames" or "operation ground and pound"

Dragonforce: THE Dragonforce. Every instrument in the band has been known to play so fast that they create their own hyper-dimensional vortex. So fast that the human brain cannot process the speed at which the notes are being played. Even though they sound fast now, many scientists and researchers actually believe that the music is processed by the human mind 5.7 times too slow than it is actually played.
If anyone ever heres anyone say that Dragonforce is not Epic or speed metal, you must follow the instructions listed below:
-Crazy glue headphones to their ears
-Turn on the long version of soldiers of the wasteland
-Crank it
-Proceed to throw victim into a flaming pit
If the above is executed with precision, the victim will no longer be alive, but will have listened to the most amazing song right before they died.

a shitty power/speed metal band from england. they have gained a large following due to the fact that their song made it onto guitar hero 3. before that, nobody had even heard of them, and for a good reason. well several reasons.
none of their music is original. the asian dude prolly just said "oooh rets write shitty music about castres and dragons and pray rearry rearry fast to hide our rack of tarent" after playing dungeons and dragons for 10 hours straight. ill give herman li credit for his ability to play fast, but any guitarist can play power chords and broken arpeggios.
and just to clarify, herman li is not the best guitarist ever. that goes to jimi hendrix, closely followed by clapton. even in the metal genre, guitarists like rusty cooley, paul gilbert, and even yngwie malmsteen are better. and i would have to say that if you want to listen to a guitarist who can shred but still play softer, more soulful music, listen to john petrucci, steve vai, or joe satriani
their singer sounds like a 12 year old whos balls havent dropped yet, which doesnt fit the music at all.
they have a keytar. dont get me wrong, keytars are awesome. just not in metal
they cant play live. just watch one of their performances on youtube. you cant tell me that it doesnt sound like they are on the brink of falling apart, crashing, and burning. idk how they do it in the studio, but their sound engineers producers deserve some mad props for making off-tempo power chords actually fit over an uneven drum groove.
and finally, all of their songs sound the same. and all of their variations of the same 4 songs suck. if you want good thrash/speed metal listen to slayer, early metallica, testament, exodus, hammerfall, or rhapsody of fire. and please get a decent taste in music

dragonforce fan: dragonforce kicks ass. i saw their show last night and it was so epic
me: and by epic, you mean 5 minutes of erratic, off tempo power chords repeated several times, with the two guitarists barely keeping up with the pace of the music, not able to play the solos on they recorded in the studio and heavily edited to make them sound at least slightly musical?

A band which originated from London with the members Sam Totman, Herman Li, ZP Theart and some drummer and bass player (Who cares?)
They combine fast playing with upbeat lyrics to give a feeling of power to those who listen to it. Their lyrics usually contain stories of myth and legend. Herman Li was given the chance to play with the world's greatest Shred Virtuosos. (Paul Gilbert, Sitriani, Vai, Satch, Malmsteem) He played.
Herman Li speeds himself up with a computer in the studio and is a sloppy player. Sam Totman writes their music which is ALWAYS in the key of C major. Both Herman and Sam both fall off of the stage regularly and lick balls at their own solos live because they can't play as fast as their studio recordings because they're sped up. Their solos are also comprised of simple scales with small variations. They're also out of tune in many of their concerts
Their drummer's good but that's about it.
Herman Li once appeared in a video lesson of how to "Sweep Pick" He failed miserably. It was like hearing a cat being raped by a sharp ice stalactite
