Their is no need to bash the album art, the album title, or the lyrics, because they laugh at it themselves and even joke about how they screw up live, for them, it is just about the enjoyment of the music, and that is how it should be. Don't get me wrong I think Dragonforces first two albums were great. On Inhuman Rampage though pretty much every song sounded the same and had exactly the same structure. This was twinned with them not being able to play it live. They go around with a "we are amazing and don't need to practise" attitude. If they don't care about creating a good show live then I don't care about them. I don't care about their lyrics, never have. But the new album name and artwork is just beyond embarrassing. Dragonforce are getting stuck behind their gimmicks and are moving further and further away from the good band they once were. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

An example: Sonata Arctica's guitarists, former Jani, and now Elias Viljanen.. Both of them could reach amazing speeds if they wanted to, but they had no problem playing slow songs. In fact, I love their slower songs more than the fast ones, because I can feel their emotions <3 I used to really love Dragonforce the first times I heard Through Fire and Flames, but now as I've seen that they only care about speed, and all the millions of 10 year old leet-kiddies that love them (which makes me worried about the next generation guitarists :S ), I can't say that I'm a fan. I still like some of their songs though, like Trail of Broken Hearts, because it's one of their slower ones. I really love both Herman's and... That other guy's guitars, though You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content! Don't miss today's free blues, jazz & country licks.

I think it was an effect that has something to do with midi. On the song as a whole, sound similar to their other songs, even the solo sometimes resembles to the solo from Through The Fire And The Flames.

I think it was an effect that has something to do with midi. Well said indeed. I've learnt and can play up to speed on some of the solo to Through the Fire and Flames and I've only been playing guitar since January of this year. DragonForce is a fantasy/power metal band with lyrics based on hope. If you read the lyrics, it's all about trying to defeat evil and how you're a hero whose been beaten down but manages to save the day type of thing. It may be an acquired taste, but I really love the lyrics. Sure it's nice to have lyrics like Fade to Black and The Unforgiven II, but it's also kinda cool to listen to "happy metal" lyrics.

They have nice vocal melodies and insane but too long solos. It would be ok for me if the solo would last a half. The most amazing thing is the way they use the tapping. I think that Lian could do a lesson in the style of Dragonforce. Thanks for sharing. Are all their songs as fast like this one? I mean do they compose complete albums with the same tempo ?
