A truely great power/speed metal band. people who don't respect them are usually the dumber (no offence) breed of metalheads. People who do respect them usually play instruments themselves or are metalheads with a true understanding and respect for music. Even if you don't like Dragonforce, you must respect Herman Li for his talent.
Dragonforce completely took the show at ozzfest and I think bands like Dragonforce, Sonata Arctica, and Cellador are the next step in metalution.

A flomboyant, but mariginally talented hair-metal band that attempts to disguise poorly written music with fast tempos. The guitar players are regarded as very good players, which is false. Their playing is characterized by modern day trickery drawing the attention from the actual playing, and meaningless to the actual sound such as wrapping the left hand over the back of the guitar neck. The singing is uninspired and lacks power. Anyone who likes Dragonforce is sadly shallow and un-informed when it comes to all things music and ass kicking.

Metal band with an infinite amount of potential, however, Due an unfortunate accident at the age of 8, the vocalist sounds like a little fag and this ruins the entire music. However, most people that are new to metal see their extremely talented guitarists and claim they are the best band ever, Even though there have been hundreds of guitarist that have outperformed them. These others, however, were not markeeted and commercialized as much as Fagonfor...excuse me.. DRAGONforce, thus all the newbies think they are the best.
"Hey dude, dragonforce has THE BEST GUITARIST EVER because that song is SOO hard to play on guitar hero!! XD"

Uses Accelerators to make them sound like they can play fast. They come to concerts drunk and forget words songs(if you dont believe me go on youtube). Also if you watch the music video for ttfaf you can tell he is not actually playing the amoount of notes that it sounds like he is. Also he needs to get off the effects pedal. And keyboard plays more of the song then guitar.

If you dont like dragonforce you must be one of those emo fags that needs to get a hard kick in their tiny balls and listen to some actual music.

Exerting the force of dragon, the hardest force known to man, (see "Power metal") onto the strings of a guitar. Can be determined using the equation, DragonForce = DragonMass * DragonAcceleration, which is currently believed to be part of the aleph continuum hypothesis, or dividing by 0.
"Dude, I couldn't divide DragonForce by 0."
"Not even the Large Hadron Collider can reveal information that the DragonForce can."

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
