Very good power metal band from London. Their songs consist of fast-paced guitar solos, fantasy-based lyrics and electronic sound effects to enhance the video game influenced music. Dragonforce is made up of vocalist ZP Theart, guitarists Herman Li and Sam Totman, bassist Frederic Leclercq, keyboardist Vadim Pruzhanov and drummer Dave Mackintosh. Produce excellent music such as "Through the Fire and Flames", "Heroes of Our Time" and "Black Winter Night"

A Power Metal band who are often criticised for their rise to success ironically after the appearance on Guitar Hero III. Some people hate them because they're too fast but metalheads show dislike to them due to their staged guitars. Herman Li has admitted to editing studio sessions and synthesizing notes.
Due to this, various Power Metal fans are arguing whether they "deserve" to be within the genre.

When performing live they are considerably worse than in the album. This infers that DragonForce do alter for better sounding.

Me - "Have you heard of Symphony X, Blind Guardian or Dark Moor?"
Moron who watches MTV - "Are they like DragonForce?"
Me - "Yeahh....except imagine competant song-writing, better themes, no whammy pedal, and sloppiness reduced by 100%".

Ok, now I'm going to approach this from a different angle than most people who dislike DragonForce. Yes, I've heard many of their songs. I don't care about the lyrics (even if he does sound like a 12 year old) but hey, it works. People seem to worship this band because it has fast instrumentals, but people please! Every song I hear by them is EXACTLY same as the last song, they change about 5 damn notes and give it a different title. Yes, they can play the guitar, and very well, but it's all just repititive power metal which makes the whole metal genre look bad. If you want to hear a kick ass super fast guitar riff, go listen to Terror Train by Demons & Wizards.
On a side note, Blind Guardian kicks DragonForces ass. Sorry it's true.

DragonForce fan: "Man this is song is awesome"
*30 minutes pass
DragonForce fan: "Wait didn't I hear this 30 minutes ago? ...WTF is going on here!!!"
Me: Told you so.

The most overrated band of all time whose lyrics are all about dragons and mystical knights and things that a 3 year old could think of. Their musical influences are the backround music in video games and they can't actually play the shitty music they write so when they record albums they play it at less than half the speed and speed it up with an accelerator. When they try to play their songs live, they end up sloppy and get many complaints from the audience. They aren't true metal in any way. They guitarist also can't reach far enough with his hands to play some of the songs so he has to put them over the neck rather than under.

A good but overrated power metal band. Usually overrated By Stupid American Teens.
They have great potential to achieving more if they got out of the "fast" power metal scene.
Though 2008 They Have IMPROVED their live Performances.

Example: They are so fast. Herman Li is the Best EVER!
Sam Totman : LOLWUT? I guess I'm not part of the Band.
Smart Dragonforce Fan : Alot of stuff is Similar, but still good and overrated. Thank you for that Guitar Hero.
