The Black Album? That's where you're going to show Metallica's mastery of metal? How old are you, Sally?Wasder said:
That being said, I do listen to Dragonforce, but the same way I listen to Type O Negative, with a sense of humor.
Dragonforce: unable to play live.
Look around YouTube, there's absolutely tons of videos comparing their live and studio performances.
Also, it's really not that hard to play as fast as that guitarist does. You just hold a shape and pick really fast. He misses half the notes he plays anyway.

Saw them live, wasn't mimed because they wouldn't have screwed up so much if it was pre-recorded. I actually got bored while watching them though. Everything sounded identical and their set was far too long.jamesc said:
Well other than Load, Reload or St. Anger any Metallica album. The Black album just happens to be the firat one I thought of.KungFuMaster said:

They seem like another generic speed metal band to me, with an egocentric guitarist and all.
People shouldn't judge them by youtube videos. I saw them live last year and they were pretty good. All the videos we saw of them from the same concert sucked. So don't bash them if all you've seen of them is some stupid video.
I'm sorry to say this, but you all suck. I have seen them twice live. They rocked both times. They can play their songs, good sirs. I know this from experience. They are mental and insane and so much fun to watch, you can jump around like a lunatic and wear a samari headband without looking out of place. Their lyrics are good old fashioned, irrevalent fun. I am not a huge fan of protset music, as I can get depressed by watching the news. Music is my fun time. Bring me tales of dragons and epic heroes, with silly guitar solos. I enjoy that, I really do. Also, popularity is a good thing, because it means less people will rag on me when I put on their record. I'm not posting a video because no video can do it justice. Youtube videos=crappy sound and video. Why the hate, I don't know. Maybe you refuse to listen to them because they are popular and you want to be different. You know, like everyone else. And don't go stomping on my parade and yelling fanboy. Those of you with that thought flashing through your mind can frack right off. This is my opinion, I like them, and this is why. Good to give the other side of the argument. Everyone else seems adverse to this.
i saw them live, and they definitely do not mime their songs because i heard them alter their songs, and make mistakes at times. your friend is just jealous of their awesome godlike powerjamesc said:
Seen 'em live twice (once as a part of the Inhuman Rampage tour, once at Download),
They were good live - no noticable mistakes (apart from the singer neeting about 9lr of water every song), the music was pretty much studio-quality (my only gripe was they got the balance of the insturments wrong for the accustics of the venue, and at times all the guitar playing caused the sound systems to sorta pack-in) and, above all, they had the best, funniest mosh pits and crowd participation of any gig I;ve been to.
I think they're the "cool" thing to "hate". People tend to give you a lot of stick for likeing them in public, then admit to liking them later on when no-one else is around to hear.
Maybe one or two gigs sucked, maybe I got lucky and saw 2 good gigs - either way, they can play some good gigs, so don't suck live 100% of the time like some say - personally, I think that now they've developed a haibt of playing live they are better performers than a year or two ago, but they're not a bad band.
