Dragonforce - Heroes Of Our Time

[xHoLLiNs95x]

It's pretty impressive how they make themselves seem 10 times better than they actually are.

[willeyg666]

How to write a Dragonforce song:

1. Awesome drumming, put the speed somewhere around the speed of light

2. Fast shredding with random sweeps and annoying use of the tremolo bar

3. Say "so far away" in power falsetto

[wackywaffleable]

Go DragonForce BEST BAND EVER!!!!!!!!!

[proshotknight]

since when did genre become a war? any why in the hell do i care about pop or any genre ill listen to what i like and thats all that matters

[hotchoclateism]

not a metal head just like this only song

[cliffjumper1984]

listen to the song "Silent Jealousy" By X Japan. They had this sound first. How many people heard of dragonforce BEFORE guitar hero? About 10% of their fans...

[ryanson209]

Dragonforce, when will you play a different song?

[Phantasmus]

@ryanson209 Why fix what's not broken?

[ryanson209]

@Phantasmus You got me there.

[bkuchiki697]

this is their best song by far

[twiztidkatt]

please! give iron maiden back there sound!

[LittleCrow18]

btw...even D&D players don't like them...that was their target auidence lolololol

[godsmackfan1]

@LittleCrow18 im a D&D player and i loves them o_o"

[LittleCrow18]

@godsmackfan1 they've grown on me since 3 weeks ago

[godsmackfan1]

@LittleCrow18 ive liked them since about '07 or '08 somewhere around there

[DiGiTaLmOd103]

FYI SAM LOOKs BORED IN EVERY VIDEO Herman Is ALwaYs Hype AND MOtivated And SAm IS ALWAYS LOOKIN BOred And DryeD OUT

[cloudfair13]

EPIC

[MultiXxDarknessxX]

This song is AWESOME

[RCGeek1]

So THATS how they play so fast... they've had experiments done on them at a secret facility, forced to blow themselves up.

[lucasman30]

2:41 what the hell is herman li doing?

[newticulz19]

@lucasman30 His hand is cramping.

[RsPker141]

@lucasman30 no. its not his hand cramping. its called a hot hand. it is like a whammy bar that you put on your finger and do what he is doing. newitculz has no clue what he is talkign about.

[TheSkyVenture]

@lucasman30 Using his hot hand wah/effect ring.

[bozzioisgod44]

John Petrucci plays faster than these guys. Well... he's God so...

[stuuffie]

Beiber's better

[YuTao3215]

@stuuffie nice joke xD

[Jbbme2810]

@stuuffie Wow, Frikin' Helen Keller has a better ear for music than you! <3

[strikingjoe01]

they speed up their songs in the studio........

OMFG i just got hit in the face by a bunch of comments calling me a justin bieber fan

who saw that coming -_-

[TheMerkWithTheMouth]

Hello metalheads.

Instead of a Metal rebellion I propose a new plan:

1. Don't bash other metal artists, we must unite! We cant fight against pop music if we arent even together

2. Watch more and more metal videos to get it to the top of the youtube vid list

If you like this idea, thumbs it up JUST so people can see it, and also spread it around if you like this idea

Lets show that metal kicks ass!

Copy this text in every Metalvideo you watch and we´re getting the power!

[legendsofAwesomeness]

@TheMerkWithTheMouth well someone missed the whole point of metal WE ARE REBELLIOUS.

[GdMABtch]

hey is that ring that herman li is wearing making sound effects too?

[aurahunter1337]

@GdMABtch Yes it adds distortion to certain rifts when put as certain distances.

[GdMABtch]

@aurahunter1337 really? where can you get one?

[aurahunter1337]

@GdMABtch They are usually custom order, I'd say the best bed is to order it online, though I don't know how much they cost. You could also check the Dragonforce website for more info on it since it is listed in his gear.

[GdMABtch]

@aurahunter1337 nice thanks!

[fuzzfire]

i thin this is there shortest song

[jytigirj2]

ive always wanted to play the guitar like that but that aint gonna happen any time soon well have fun ima start practicing

[ZachShaw]

dude....how is it that they aren't breaking the guitar strings mid-song...unreal

[MrGent35]

Awesome playing \m/

[manaray10]

the hair! the glorious, blowing hair!

[kain50144]

what guitar is hermon using in this vid?



[jytigirj2]

@kain50144 hes using an ibanez that was made in the ibanez factory just for him the reason y the cutout is so big is because they put paint on his hand and had him play and cut wood off untill there was no more paint then they painted it purple and then they made the grips the same way and they only made 100 of them

[CobraAssassin94]

singers gay...

[GAGHable]

what album is this?

[Tagger24]

lmao @ 1:36 xD

[60eightplus1]

I had respect for Dragonforce until this video, seeing the singer, wearing guyliner...

[lovelyrainflower]

@60eightplus1 if any guy can wear guy liner and be sexy, its this singer lmao!

[SeventhSandwich]

@lovelyrainflower

Did you know they fired him?

[ookami292]

@60eightplus1 and just what is wrong with that? i think it looks good. besides its not guyliner. its eyeliner. it is not just for girls. like pants aren't just for men.

[TheCalhounJohnson]

@ookami292

this comment would make a lot more sense if pants weren't just for men.

[ookami292]

@TheCalhounJohnson what are you trying to say? correcting my grammar or are you a simple minded guy who think that girls should be in dresses? i deplore that rule deeply. i mean, who made it?

[Dimundbac]

If you think this is good, try listening to Rhapsody or Nightwish.

[goninon2001]

the day herman li dies is the day all guitars dissapear from the face of the earth.

[aterseraph]

Two words.....Herman Li....holy fuck

[jaybollman]

herman... 0_0

[jsx6x]

holy fuck... EPIC

[Mess1410]

LOL Cyborgs

[FamGuitarist]

wow this song is awesome

[ThePituka111]

WHY DOES DRAGONFORCE HAVE A LOT OF COOL SOLOS I MEAN I KIKE THEM BUT DAMN THEY ARE LEGENDS MAYBE THE BEST BAND THAT HAS SOLOS



[sassygurl9000]

Dragonforce has the coolest guitar solos EVER! :D

[TheDrewfro]

I like how dragonforce can rock hard enough to blast themselves into space.

[TheSpiralOrder]

All Dragonforce songs sound identical...

[DarksideModerator27]

@TheSpiralOrder

Yeah they do but what the hell they rock anyway

[tosswartul]

@TheSpiralOrder What you don't like epicness? :D

[TheSpiralOrder]

@tosswartul Did I say that was a bad thing? It could be you can't improve perfection.

[IMNOTCRAZY1]

@TheSpiralOrder Yes. Because this totally sounds exactly like Starfire. /sarcasm

[dennis6666666666]

impossible!!!!!!!editted songs of dragon force

[666Brago]

Awesome!!! Great song. I've always liked Dragonforce and this song was great.

[DavidGillooly]

is this a beatles cover?

[TheMoSJoker]

@DavidGillooly I think soo

[Jormungrandrserpent]

actually if you ever played guitar (REAL guitar) for over a year you know u develop callouses. I'm guessing DF guitarists been playing for longer than a year :P so much so that they could kill someone with their fingers and feel no pain

[hodgy2316]

@Jormungrandrserpent i know how u feal

[slanderoushalo]

@Jormungrandrserpent Well, it happens really more over a period of months. They've been playing for a long time... but they're still sloppy as fuck. Flame me all you want, it's the truth.

[ShadowLancer128]

@slanderoushalo yeah. It's metal. Meaning there is inherent sloppiness. Now if Herman left the damned singer out of the band, and stayed instrumental, and followed the path of Steve Vai or Joe Satriani, we'd have ourselves a different story.

[slanderoushalo]

@ShadowLancer128 ...No. Not really. Metal doesn't mean sloppy playing. Herman just never really got his sweeping clean.

[ShadowLancer128]

@slanderoushalo Well when I watched him demo his Egen for the first time on camera, it seemed clean enough to me.

[hardwirecars]

@Jormungrandrserpent what are you talking about guitar hero is real guitar

[undeadzed]

unreal



[britdemo]

dragon force 1 ..guitar hero 0

[inthearmynow99]

I know I have heard this song before... but where....

[08EJH79]

!!! EPIC !!!

[Kapo465]

People like to hate because the guy doesnt scream... This is my first listen, and i must say i like it! Reminds of the old days. Good speedy!!!

[anarchyantelope112]

Too bad all of their songs sound the same

[gook4202000]

it's def harder to play with 6 strings instead of one like G.Hero but that also means you can hit 6 notes with one fret hold by running up and down the strings, meaning you can play faster notes without moving your fret hand and fingers as much as you would in GH. but don't get me wrong real guitar is still harder to play. they could start adding an extra strum or 2 and more frets and/or mandatory slider bar spots in GH.

[GreatSirZachary]

the must ice their hands after every song

[mephisto4444]

@GreatSirZachary they are no where near as good as this video may make you believe, they spend hours editing these songs.

[TeamAirsoftBloopers]

@GreatSirZachary no if they did that there hands would slow down and wouldn't be able to play as fast, most guitarists put their hands in really warm water right before a show, especially when it's cold out

[PuppetB7]

I swear, when they have a guitar solo, I think their hands are going to catch on fire!!! LOL!!

[xXxgodshowedoffxXx]

dragon force make me jizz in ma pants

[snommistrebor]

can you say i must have arthritis from trying tis s#it

[theunholydeath1]

After that guitar solo their fingers must be in so much pain

[jayballa0]

@KianAlexina dude,it was a joke. get the stick outta your ass

[FKNhostile187]

I dunno, hate eternal has a sick drummer as well. he's underrated. Gene hoglan from mechanism and strapping young lad though... Gene conquers EVERYONE.

[lilbigtybo]

idk y everyone hates this band there fuckin beast

[NCOProductions]

@KianAlexina and I thought Lars Ulrich was a fucking badass....Top 3 drummers have to be Dragonforce, Megadeth and Metallica....Christ, listen to their tracks and watch some covers and the real shit..You'd be amazed.

[ecchiecchilol]

@NCOProductions can't forget slipknots drummer he's got world records n shit and all that remains drummer

[skkitzzo]

@ecchiecchilol All that remains drummer Shannon Lucas is now with The Black Dahlia Murder where he's allowed to do crazier shit, and throughout the whole song instead of just during the chorus or certains parts like he was doing for all that remains, its one of the main reasons why he left

[lucariololol]

@NCOProductions well i woulda chose dave lombardo and romain goulon as the other 2 but ok

[colinblack95]

@NCOProductions Believe it or not, Rise against has got some pretty dam good drumming... gives the band a powerful sound.

[rodney2yendor]

@KianAlexina lol, so true, without him, it would just be another justin beiber XD

[foamyserver]

id be cool with dragonforce if every song wasnt 7 minutes long XD

[jayballa0]

How come the lead singer is a chick but sounds like a dude?

[hotdog12342]

fthrough the fire and flames rocks on guitar hero!

[Randomdude214]

This is my favorite song by Dragonforce, next to Through the Fire and Flames =)

[SaltiCat0]

*what the heck is this* is the question that comes to mind as i scroll through the comments looking for, maybe, suggestions for other dragonforce songs and what do i find? a bunch of people arguing about politics and other stuff!?!!

unofficial rule of the internet: never (do you see that?) talk about religon or politics.

unless this has something to do with the song. then you may bomb me with insults and other such hurtful (like i care) stuff.

[SaltiCat0]

@SaltiCat0 oh btw the song was pretty good. of course.

[yippee14]

if you guys don't like dragonforce, u just have some serious epic fail.

[rodney2yendor]

the guy on the keyboard looks a little happy

[freaqydeaky]

what is on hermans finger?

[OHsick15]

Dragonforce KICKS ASS

[pokelord12]

@OHsick15 i agree

[CapnKeys]

I can't fap to this!

[Naturelance4]

this song as kick ass

[CutiePieHOneyzZ4]

u guys rock!!!!

[peanutbuttermybutt]

that intro guitar was sick

[luclfersangel616]

@peanutbuttermybutt yeah . . . It made me feel sick how bad it was!

[pokelord12]

@luclfersangel616 dude u wouldnt know good music if it hit u over the head

[spardaking]

@pokelord12 my favorite bands metallica, megadeth, iron maiden, led zeppelin and jimi hendrix . . . care to say that again?

[CL1793]

Real men wear eyeliner and scream shrill notes! Bow down to the force!

[nirad1606]

what is the name of that awesome blue guitar?

[mycarsadeadhorse]

@nirad1606 i think its purple and its an ibanez e gen its hermans sig model

[personworth3cents]

ive never seen an asian guitarist in a speed metal band before. THats sick. Also in 3:50 to 4:06 the pianist dances like hes mentally challenged or something.

[personworth3cents]

dam! their solos are epic!

[thief128]

the drummer sounds really good lol

[raiderskev72]

gimme some headphones playing dragonforce very loud and i could probably kick everyones ass haha epic shit

[weezybeast4]

all of their songs sound the same... it's pretty sick though

[emmaluvshinderandhim]

nice.

[TheAssassinSniper1]

dam

[doesyourgodcomeinaca]

Good lord the vocals are really gay.

[festeringfiestasteve]

this song really kicks

[John6verse47]

Manu_uel

I am what I am

[billyunc]

This song rocks , awesome guitar

[XxguitaraddictionxX]

i hate their vocals!!!! otherwise theyre incredible musicians.

[borntowrestle119]

this song kicks ass

[stefank687]

I saw them 3 years ago and they were absolutely awful live. Then I saw them ago about 6 months ago and they were actually incredibly good live. I think they've started taking live shows more seriously.

[AlexandsebStudios]

@stefank687 They got inner ear monitors so they can hear themselves better.

[SubmRich]

i love dragonforce!!! and yes they can play live!!! if they couldnt nobody would come to see them right? lots of people go to see them. yay score one for :)

[SubmRich]

ME*

[jordy1259]

yes they can play live, but the vocals am not too keen on, but the instrumental work is perfect

[mrjman2541]

THEY ARE ASOME

[secretk33per]

i just realized that they have a keyboard player. 0.o

[coffeymaker9]

oh and btw, learn to spell realize oh educated one.

[coffeymaker9]

son, dont go off about how we don't know history, you've never spent any time in an american history class, we learn all about everything we got from england, but is that supposed to stop us from having national pride? and england most definitely did not give us everything we have, did you give us the revolutionary war? nah we fought hard, and won every other war we were in after that, we're the most powerful nation in the world. i know im proud to be an american and to be free.

[mistersavage23]

@coffeymaker9

you said we've won every war sincethe revolutionary war. sorry, but i have one word. VIETNAM.

[atthepistol]

Part Four:

The pure arrogance of saying things like 'I speak American,because I'm from America'. . . Finally, you can fuck off if your trying to threaten me, mate. I really advise you to stop that immediately. Your whats wrong with America, 'deathbykilled'.

[mistersavage23]

@atthepistol

you do realize that by basically saying "all americans are self-absorbed and arrogant" and then also saying "americans know nothing of history. we gave them everything," you somewhat contradict yourself. i don't want to start anything, but im just pointing that out.

[atthepistol]

@mistersavage23 Well, It doesn't seem like a contradiction to me. To say that they are arrogant and self-absorbed *because* they know nothing of history would probably be a better way of putting it. The sort of thing I'm getting at is when you ask one who invented the lightbulb- most will say Thomas Edison, Thats incorrect. It was Sir Joseph Swan. . . That sort of thing.

[mistersavage23]

@atthepistol In my opinion, the  American public (in general) shouldnt be hated for the "arrogance" they display. the world sees what the media and the government wants them to see. the same goes for America. If a few corrupt politicians or journalists hate one country, all it takes is a few skewed lines to make a nation call for war.

[mistersavage23]

@atthepistol my computer screwed up so i dont know if the first was posted. 2.) so hatred towards other nations in general is pretty much unfounded in a way. the truth? there is no real way to tell. we are told what the media and the government want us to hear. great point with the lightbulb thing though. I admit that i didn't know that thanks to the brilliant education system in america. haha

[atthepistol]

@mistersavage23 I think my original argument, with whoever it was I was arguing with, may have been a little strong a few months ago. Please don't misunderstand: I am not the sort of person who thinks you can label ever person in a country (a bloody big country) as the same mentality. It is just the sort that go on youtube and know they can get away with any thing, people make up facts to strengthen their answer (I realise this could be seen as hypocritical in some ways)

[atthepistol]

Part Three:

I hate it how they think they invented so many things that they didn't, but the British did. e.g the light bulb, the American flag, the American national anthem. There are many many things that the British have done for America, and you lot turn around and make videos like 'America Rules, England Sucks'. That's so uneducated and without reason, that America is therefore one of the most hated places on earth. But a lot of them are too self- absorbed to realise that.

[mistersavage23]

@atthepistol don't get me wrong in any of this, but i don't care either way if you like america, hate it, have issues, etc. you share an opinion with much of the world. in many ways i agree, and im american. originally, i was just pointing out something that could possibly hurt your argument. im glad you cleared it up and makes your stance better.

[atthepistol]

Secondly, I've been to America, I know what there are like over there. Some of them are the nicest people I have ever met, however there is a lot of shit in that country, so denying that is outrageous. Thirdly, The reason I get quite angry with Americans is because they know nothing about history, and how the British practically gave them everything they have.

[mycrimsonregrets]

@atthepistol agreed. look at how fast people turn to looting during a riot. i'll admit there are a lot of benefits living here in the u.s. but there are still plenty that is very messed up. i have heard france, germany, italy and the uk are great places to live as well. i have only heard that edison made the light bulb as we know it today as that's what i was taught. there are definitely things off in all aspects of life here including education.

[atthepistol]

Part one: Firstly, Who are you, and why on Earth did you comment on my video, opposed to PMing me?

Americans, on the hole, come across as arrogant people. That's what I have come to realise. There are many reasons for this. I'd say one of the greatest reasons has to be the way they are brought up. Being made to pledge allegiance to the flag, raise the flag, always hearing people say 'God bless America'. . . It's brainwashing from the start.

[1Kinkiekath1]

gotta love the song though <3 :P

[andreboy1]

these guys suck ass live, big let down

[ryosuke4life]

Lmfao i never saw Herm kick the guitar up ahaha thats some sick shit.

[shoulderkolibri]

@ryosuke4life

You you never will again, cause Herm will never be able to replay the same shit he records, so most likely he'd be too busy trying to be accurate, rather than do cool stage moves while he's at it. People have to be so apologetic towards them when they listen to them live and find out that they actually can't live up to their own music's high expectations for technicality.

Oh and wtf is up with the rest of the band all wearing tight jeans and eyeliners?

[ryosuke4life]

@shoulderkolibri

Yeah i know they suck live. I was just pointing out he kicked it up lol.

An the tight jeans an eyeliner shit i have no clue i guess trying to live like they are still in the 80'a

[nejikid]

@shoulderkolibri they just wana be with the new style. its stupid. at least herman li still wears the same old western buisness attire he rocks out with!

[mav6771]

I love this band, I love this song, I love this bands songs!!

I love Dragonforce!!!!

[LemonanLimeCinima]

Watch me strum notes like a faggot is what the ching chong chink guy is thinking

[mav6771]

If you don't like it then why are you here?

[mistersavage23]

@LemonanLimeCinima the "ching chong chink guy" happens to be using a wag ring. its an effect that changes wah frequency by waving your hand. so hes doing exactly what the effect is inteded to to and how its used. but congratulations on pulling off complete racist and total retard in the same sentence. props.

[ManLadyChildBoy]

bunch of fags right there

[mav6771]

If you don't like it then why are you here?

[xxxYugooxxx]

I only rate recorded music if the artist can play it like, Especially when it comes to fast guitar playing. Dragon force cannot plat this live

[nick7397]

lol, so true, they suck live

[penguin2k6]

<3 it

[ttumoeg]

i just love the way this song makes me feel. i get a smile on my face everytime i here it. i think its the pitch of the vocals!

[ATKilllZ]

hope you enjoy your music, this is what they'll be playing in hell

[iiTJS]

to everyone that says they suck......they are still better then you and li herman is said to be 1 of the fastest shreders of all time so suck it

[mycrimsonregrets]

@iiTJS i think they are very talented but i am not a big fan of over technical guitar playing. at least me me it gets old kinda quick. solos, sweeps and shredding are cool but if it makes up 70% of the song it just loses its edge.

i bet if they would just slow down they might be decent musicians...

saw them live...not that good.

most unoriginal voice ive ever heard..hell most unoriginal sound in general to be honest..

fast doesnt equal good necessarily...

they need to learn that the silence between notes or parts is just as important as the notes itself.

musicians are suppose to paint on silence, not just splash shit all over it. but i guess the shittiest painting will still be b
