[dragon7896]

0.48-1.07

the true way to play a keyboard :-)

[Haddockxyz300]

Most awesome keybordist of all time...

Hail DragonForce!

[KeyboardGH]

1:10 - 1:13 Simpsons Intro ashuahsuahuuahsuhauhuasha, Vadim rulez, \,,/

[TimeeBombe]

Lol simpsons song

[NORALEBALE94]

Awesome SOLO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[johnjohn123456777]

great player but needs some rythme in his solos

[xan2xan3]

i do not dislike it but it doesnt sound serious, the have to organise the music

[Kiewicz92]

epic :D

[dragon7896]

VADIM! VADIM! VADIM! VADIM! VADIM! VADIM! VADIM! VADIM! VADIM! VADIM! come on everyone, cheer it on so all can hear about how awesome he is!

[OmegaWeaponX2]

PIMP :D

[mysteriouser]

cool. vadim pruzhanov is the best keytarist in the whole world. it sounds like disco but i like it LOL

[Theannihilatorguy]

2:40 lol xD!

[ShaunyDragonForce]

lol, at 2:37

he's firing his keytar like a gun lol

[Er1nyes]

This kicks ass, i want to see them live sooo bad.

[sickspastic]

i've seen them. and met them ^^ back in '04

[randomvidz94]

fast but the notes are all over the place , so no good really . sry to shatter your dreams.

[antillon56]

realy then u do it and if u cant dont talk crap DRAGONFORCE

[randomvidz94]

@antillon56 trust its garbage.

[MiyasmaTube]

Vadim cheats in this one! He's using a monophonic, re-trigger synth. He can easily cheat just by tapping a key while holding another one - each time he lets go it re-presses the note he was holding, making him sound blazing fast when really he's faking it.

[countfuzzball]

What that'd do is create a 'trill' effect, which is exactly what vadim isn't doing here.

Though I must admit, it is difficult to discern what is playback and what isn't. :P

[MiyasmaTube]

No, that's exactly what he IS doing here. It's not just for "trilling", if you turn off the portamento it sounds like you're pressing every note. Like the beginning, he's holding the root note and just pressing three notes - pathetically easy, and a 7 year old could do it.

[sickspastic]

no it isn't! you must be fuckin Tone Deaf or something if you can't tell lead from backing. jesus

[DarkOroron]

its just the gear...just because you aren't smart enough to think of that don't try bringing someone else down because you can't do it

[MiyasmaTube]

Bullshit. I could easily do it, that's exactly my point. You could do it, I could do it, your friend's dead great great grandmother could do it. I'm not smart enough to do it? No, I'm not lame enough to do it. That would be like saying I'm not "smart enough" to use training wheels when I know how to ride a bike. But keep being a Dragonforce fanboy, that's okay. I'll go listen to a REAL band.

[ShaunyDragonForce]

every friggen hater says this! Look, this video is OBVIOUSLY intended for "fanboys" and your obviously not one. So, instead of trying to sound big and tough, go comment on your "real band" videos, and stop wasting yours AND our time here!

[tekkentool]

surprisingly talented considering the rest of dragonforce

[FraBoes24]

what an awesome keyboardist! DF rulez

[MelinaCena564]

that's pretty sick

[MelinaCena564]

I know I'm lucky

[AJSOLO666]

One of the coolest keyboardists in the metal world today!8)

[metalhead6777777]

most of you retards dont even play an instrument so you suck. Theyve improved live big time. So shut up and go screw yourself.

[MelinaCena564]

Oh my gosh I love vadim met him b4 he's like the nicest dude

[LambOfGodSabina]

haha. he's hilariously fucking awesome.

definitely stage presence! i so wantto see them again!

[bRADnaptime]

ugh, his solos sound like noise, no melody, its just like, ohh look how fast i can play. lol he sounds great on the albums tho

[stormvit]

and that wasted 3:08 minutes of my life,. he fucking sucks

[iKeyboard15]

AWESOME

[Minibowen]

OMG!

I just say: Janne Wirman, Jens Johanson and Jordan Rudess

[darmen13]

im a dragonforce and so far this is one of the best solos ive ever herd

[interstate15]

wicked

[Luvinhas]

best musician in the idiotic band dragon force..

[lucasguitarrist]

I'd say the only musician in Dragonforce....

And Fred Declerq is a really good bassist... but then...

Why do they ply like that in the albums if they cannot do that live??

[kalla933]

because it sounds cool

[BlackJackv3]

honestly i hate dragon foce but Vadim makes me want to listen. they actually can play it but they need every pedal ever created.

[TheFarlio]

omfg!!!!

[chanjunshan]

lol zp know how to ply guitar.....

[joniiboy]

ZP can play guitar aswell, but the one playing with Sam and Herman is Fred, he is quite a skilled guitarist aswell

[D4K44R1]

yeah. ZP just plays guitar on stage to back them up or to mess around....

mostly to mess around

[typioe777]

this dudes insane

[M15577]

Emerson > Pruzhanov

[FurbyParade226]

I saw them yesterday. I go to the show to see Dragonforce..enjoy their music..and enjoy their hilarious entertainment. Vadim is obviously not the best keyboard player of all time..nowhere near it..but, he is still amazing and he fits the band. He started making out with girls in the audience O.O hes a pimp

[HabboUniversal]

Definitly hes a big pimp

[AmericanWerewolfDH]

Preach nigga PREACH!!!!!!

[bRADnaptime]

theres NO way his solos are inspired by video games NOT A CHANCE! lolz!!!!!!

[kikiubovilla]

dragon force keyboard solos sound like gameboy colour games music

[FerchitoCZ]

@kikiubovilla Yes, sure, various of her solos are inspired at techno music and the videogames music

[SegamenXp]

@kikiubovilla that's why it's awesome :D

[assphinktersaiswhat]

it was awsome when the bassist *fred* took sams guitar and these 2 had a guitar vs keytar battle XD

[berko555]

16,000 views.

Thanks. :D

[jaedcapo]

@berko555 thanks 4 what? you didnt make any effort in this video at all...

[beccamacey]

Ahhh you gotta luv Vadim

[joniiboy]

this is awesome :P

[X5092X]

The keytar is a customated Roland Ax-7

[RanzAlton]

hahaha. cool.

[80selectro]

Errrr.. Roland, rather

[80selectro]

The keytar is a Yamaha AX-7 with a custom paintjob.

[gamorrean]

Korg x50

[gamorrean]

erhm, next time i'll watch this movie first before answering,, it's a keytar, and god knows which one !

[RanzAlton]

well, yeah, I know its a Keytar.. but WHICH one?? Its... RARe.. customized rather..

[FurbyParade226]

I got to touch it yesterday LOL I shouldn't grabbed it =D!!! haha

[RanzAlton]

Whats the name of the keyboard he's wearing on his neck?

[silverzombie342]

one word: awesome

[emmajaynewhitfield]

its revolution deathsquad solo as well as mario i picked up on it haha

[joniiboy]

and the simpsons intro :P

[RichyCrAcK007]

Sorry I had to brake the 111 comments but its for Dragon Force!!!

[countfuzzball]

whoah, Vadim's lead sounds like a mixture between a square wave and an accordian! WIN! Brillantly crazy solo!

[KaraLovesApo]

haha someone played too many video games as a child....and now too probably.

i love him. this is absolutely amazing.

[LusterPurge94]

he is amazing.

[Rober2]

FINALLY!!! a video starring dragonforce where i don't have to see (much) criticisms from assholes. THEY ROCK!!!

[triviumduderocks]

there was vadim on keynoard, herman and sam doing solo's, but who plays the solo after hermans second solo, it cant be sam because he's underneath hermans legs (lol), so it was either ZP or Fred, and none of them can play electric guitar can they?

[Arrinao]

well actually both of them can play guitar. In ZP's case I'm not sure if it's electronic but somewhere I read that he can play guitar actually quite well.

[triviumduderocks]

ah thanks, so it is true that you learn something new everyday =]

[Arrinao]

np man :) oh one more thing - zp can play acoustic guitar not electronic;)

[joniiboy]

looks like fred, but im not sure

[scodaboy]

fred's actually an electric guitarist; he just plays bass for DF.

[cancerxofxpassion]

0:11 - 0:46 = EPIC!

[LusterPurge94]

so true

[djpunk555]

so what? Herman and Sam also have solos, but their solos are actually in songs

[guitarshreder2]

its not any song, just a solo lol -  for fun

[berko555]

djpunk555, it's not a song, it's a keyboard solo.

[djpunk555]

what song is this?

[rectalbomb]

for the most part its awesome except when vadim just does slides on the keyboard, cuz technically anyone could do that

[Pojkenutanframtid]

everyone is insane playing their instruments in this band, only ZP, he dont play any ^.^... rly good band.

[IamAnoob44]

he plays acoustic guitar...but his vocals are awesome..i don't knw how he can do all these things

[69KRAYZIEBONE69]

herman li just messed all of that up the only good ones in their band is the back-up guitarist and Vadim

[GeebusClaws]

targetpwned how do you even know he's hitting the wrong notes? do you know what he's trying to play? if not go join all the other cob drooling fans that don't know shit about music.

[idunoleh]

wow. i didn't know the bassist could be so good on the guitar.

[targetpwned]

This is just fast, not impressive...he hits a bunch of wrong notes and the tone is absolutely hideous.

[targetpwned]

@ the keyboardist.

[thePENANCE]

K, do you even know what hes trying to play, its his own solo

[NikaPika011]

Okay, write your own absolutely spectacular solo and perform it in front of thousands of people and blow all of them away, and THEN tell me it sucks.

[SKareKrohX]

okay! =D

Although, I'd really rather just do the first part and continue liking the solo...

Do I have to tell you it sucks? Is that a requirement?

[NikaPika011]

XD

No, if you like it then why say it sucks? :)

[SKareKrohX]

Hey, YOU'RE the one throwing out perequesites here!

=P

^_^

[NikaPika011]

My bad, I should specify. :)

ALL HATERS, write your own absolutely spectacular solo and perform it in front of thousands of people and blow all of them away, and THEN tell me it sucks.

Better? :P

[SKareKrohX]

Oh yes, MUCH better, thank you.

^w^

[Firecast01]

that was fucking insane lol

[Gulli05]

Did I hear the simpson theme in there?

Fucking best vid of Dragonforce ever!

[RandomRosemary]

Yeah, that was in it :D

[iwillfindacenterinu]

hahahahah razor did the mario theme I think, or something from a video game! FUNNY, also uhhh I've never heard him sing...

[iwillfindacenterinu]

Go razor, Go! Yes, I call him RAZOR and John Garcia ver. 2

YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT, KICK BUTT YOUNGER VER. OF JOHHNNYYYYY BOYYYYY!!!!!!

[alexanderkumdorne]

fred, the frech is the sickest in the band...he rocks...but sam is, in my advice the worst freakin player, fast, talente and inspired. vadim is now showing us what are his best skills on keyboards...but he still hadn't showed what he can do on guitar...but i believe he's bettr on keyboards...ONE OF THE BEST BAND

[bRADnaptime]

alot of people have started calling them "StudioForce".... those people need to watch this video. it only makes since that their songs sound better on CD, i cant even imagine the endurance it takes to play like that. live, there playing song after song, you would expect their fingers to break off by then, but their still frikin playing. but on CD they can take all the time they need to record a song

[PrimusSucks626]

The point is, if they can't perform the songs live, they shouldn't be recording them in the studio in the first place unless they plan on being a studio-only project.

[marnon95]

Vadim is awesome! Herman and sam are also awesome, but the best is Fred! he fucking rocks!

[WritherInSilence]

Well, I'd name a Jordan Rudess or a Rick Wakeman @ mot5

[everlastinglight159]

Sweet solo, this guy is the best guy in dragonforce in my opinion

[djpunk555]

what song is this

[mcrkidx6x6x6]

EPIC FUCKING WIN!

[mob210sa]

haha that is so insane. it almost seems closer to a guitar than a keyboard lol. but hes goin offf

[IanMnotP]

it sounds like a nintendo theme its so good

[berko555]

Glad you all like the movie ;)

[jtichi]

Jordan Rudess is the best keyboard player

[grandconman]

neh !

ether vadim is

or mustis , dimmu borgir's paino player

he is fucking awesome !

as is vadim =]

[xXStockHausenXx]

Janne Warman is the man!

[mot5]

Truthfully, if you'd have to find the best keyboard player in the world, you most likely won't find him/her amongst rock or metal musicians

[Anon5111605]

Where's all the kids who claim DF sucks live and all this nonsense.

They seem to be strangely absent.

[Kistarcsa]

They probably found some new band to hate.

Thank God finally...

[partyboyjohn]

seriously. they just hated dragonforce cause people like them, now that theyre starting to like them themselves i doubt we'll hear anything else from em'

[Kistarcsa]

Yeah let's hope

[Kistarcsa]

That's just Sick!

[FESS143]

he plays crazy and its awesome when he gos insane

[jaaabb444]

1:51 was a sick introlude

[Traumatizedbyu]

He plays with his togue in other videos=]

[lpdude72]

dude, that is insanity at it's best! LONG LIVE VADIM!

LONG LIVE DRAGONFORCE!

[thePENANCE]

youre a fucking shit, he can play better that you can in your fucking dreams, maybe if you showed some balls, you would have tried to say it to his face, or learn the solo yourself, so fuck off will ya, cuz he is THE BEST keyboard player in the world

[alexanderkumdorne]

plays the simpson and with just one hand...; is an expert and he goes insane...he plays with his forhead..... he rocks^^

[alexanderkumdorne]

so fast...he's got his place in this insane band......he rocks

[KAEMELLI]

Vadim is the best!!

[jcmcgeekster]

ROCK ON! I just looked at these comments. I'm glad other people think synthesizers, sequencers, et cetera are just as fascinating as a guitar's distortion effects. It can do equally cool things, and solos are still fun! RIDE ON! <-- LMAO!

[RishiBhaskara]

this wasnt in Leeds met for the first strike in 2006 was it? looks just like it :)

i guess the band members would be in the same place and what not, heh.

so where was this video taken then?

[berko555]

This video was taken by a family member in Sweden.

[RishiBhaskara]

ah fair enough.

i guess they'll do the same sorta things for each one.

[berko555]

Yes, i've had numerous PM's asking if this was played in so and so, so I guess they do the same in every show.

[break09]

is their any way to get a download of a cleaner version

[berko555]

Don't think so.

[GIJOEY777]

When I went to see these guys Vadim played a his only solo for a few minutes and he stopped in the middle and shouted, "PLAYING GUITAR IS FOR FAGGOTS!" Not that I agree with him, but Vadim is pretty fucking cool.

[berko555]

Personally, I can't play guitar for my life. But Vadmis is pretty fucking cool, yes. :)

[Pojkenutanframtid]

rofl =D he is....

[kingkongster]

Fuck yeah DANCE INTERLUDE!!!!!

[sixsixsix4life]

vadims keytar is dope as!!

[NEKOYASHA616]

was this at second strike birmingham? caus i seem to remember this exact solo

[NEKOYASHA616]

VADIM UR MY GOD!!!!!!!

[HawkBuzz]

AMAZING. you guys should just stop fighting and just enjoy the music! and MupNaz, techno is not lame, you just have a poor choice of music.

[Trystaticus]

Where they just jamming in this video? it looked improvised. Vadim gets a little carried away at some points, but still pretty cool

[NitendoFan1]

I believe this is an intermission. Vadim is known to play keyboard solos when the band is switching instruments or during an intermission.

[EDDER2315]

yes sometimes he plays well know tunes like the simpsons theme like he did in this video

[berko555]

This was when the band were having a break. They obviously finished, since they come out. But yeh, generally he plays in intermissions and instrument-switching.

[DUNGE0Nman]

Meh, I don't care if it sounds like video game "noises". It's still amazing

[AnaraxAngel]

He sHold Be a tEcHnO DJ instead of Joining Dragonforce...Well , he made the wrong choice...With this Skill , He CaN KiCk DJ Tiesto ass off....

[MupNaz]

Dragonforce is nothing special, but techno is fucking lame dude:b Nexus faggot.

[ctwolf]

u just have horrible taste in most things in ur life apparently...

[MupNaz]

I do? Seriously, DJ Tiesto? Give me a break :/ I don't hate techno in general, I like lots of electronica like Ellen Allien and The Knife but DJ tiesto is just the typical lame mainstream ecstasy "BOOM BASSSSSS!" crap. (Dragonforce is pretty much the metal side of this, but it's nowhere as bad.)

[kainan1324]

im more of a "speed doesn't account for lost melody" kind of guy, but that, oddly from me, was just amazing.

[Alboid]

man this dude sucks!!! the solo sucks sound like shit!!

[berko555]

It would be nice if you stop arguing. I put this video up for people to see how good Vadim Pruzhanov is. There is no point in calling each other names, cause you don't know each other and you both have different views. Noobcakes.

[Hateandhatred]

agree!

[azandi]

lol, wow, nice. I love it when Dragonforce kiddies get mad about their precious band, so fucking hilarious.

No, keep going, this is hilarious. You have no idea how badly you're perpetuating the sterotype right now. This is just comedic gold right here.

[DZDeadly]

ur gay mcqwerty lol:P JORDAN RUDESS ALL THE WAAAY..by the way this solo is very good:D

[mcqwerty666]

First, Off this solo is amazing

Second It's the simpson's and nothing remotely simliar to mario is even played. Although it does sound alittle like Sega that only makes it cooler! If you didnt like the video then dont watch it assfuck

I don't recall saying anything, even remotely comparing this to Mario, so its beyond me why you brought that up.

And yeah, it sounds like a Genesis soundboard, thats the whole fucking point of the band, to make goofy videogame noises. And I'll watch any video i want and say whatever the hell I want without the need to ask for your permission fucker.

Have a nice day.
