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

the worst band ever who's music is terrible, overrated and kills me to listen to more than even Hannah Montana. and to the millions of people who are obsessed with them, well i don't really care. there music probably wouldn't be nearly as popular if guitar hero 3 didn't exist
Dragonforce stinks.

A band originated from London that epic fails compared to Firewind. They lack the ability to think of any new songs, so they reuse the same tune and words every time.

An extremely generic power metal band that sounds like many others, and doesn't have anything else going for them besides playing fast. The majority of their fanbase is composed of morons who live off of all of the popular mallcore metal, and believe that "fast" means "good" when in fact, bands such as Dragonforce lack almost any originality and creativity whatsoever.
Metal poser: "Hey, you've heard Dragonforce right? The guitarist is so great!"
Odin: "No, he's fast."
Metal poser: "WTF? You must be emo, you don't know anything about metal."
Odin: "You fucking poser, have you even HEARD UneXpect or Wintersun? You and Dragonforce fail at being tr00 and epic. Get the fuck out."
Odin: "No, he's fast."

(A kid walks in a room wearing a Dragonforce shirt)
Kid 2: "What's Dragonforce, some stupid band?"
Kid 1: "Yeah right they rock!"
(Kid 2 plays Guitar Hero II and walks in with a Dragonforce shirt the next day)
Kid 1: "I thought you said Dragonforce was a stupid band?"
Kid 2: "I heard them on Guitar Hero II, they rock, I'm gonna get all my anime friends to wear the shirts!"

Shitty band made up of shitty musicians. All they ever do is play scales extremely fast, and throw a few thrash pieces in. They are only popular because of Guitar Hero 3 Legends Of Rock, released in 2007. all though they were asked to be inserted into the game, they still have no talent... unless you call being a douche-fag a talent, then yeah... but if you ever listen to more than 3 of their songs, you will notice that all their somns are exactly the same... 23 sweeps (all the same), a pattern of 5 power-chords, and more sweeps... so if you are ok with listening to the same stuff over and over and over and over, then i recomend dragonforce.
"Oh my gosh! Have you played Guitar Hero 3?"
"Why yes i have..."
"I love the last song by Dragonforce"
"That song sucks"
"Oh yeah!? Well i can beat it on expert with 99%"

Used in the context of a fight or competition of any sort.
"Dude, you were up by 16 points near the end, but then he went Dragonforce on your game."
"If you don't quit pissing me off, I swear to God... don't make me go Dragonforce on your scrawny ass."
