DragonForce - Reasons to Live (Live Graspop 2009)

[TerminusCOBHC]

At 0:53, Sam is modding. On a side note, the "people" in charge ov filming this were incompetent (to say the least). "Let's go ahead and focus on absolutely everyone else during 90% of the guitar solos because no one who listens to DragonForce cares about guitar solos." What utter stupidity. Good video, otherwise.

[Kevingast]

people are always saying df sucks live.

No they are AWESOME!!!

only zp cant sing live

[DragonforceFan73]

@Kevingast marc hudson new singer hits most of the notes clear.

[Kevingast]

@DragonforceFan73 i know 

[DragonforceFan73]

Who's this guy sitting in the Background 5:16.

[souleyes11]

@DragonforceFan73 pay more attention to ZP at that time

[boat3568]

@0:18 R.I.P Bass drum triggers

[foroke1]

I just got done watching Disciples of Babylon from around 2000.... They've gotten so much energetic since then.

[foroke1]

Dave deserves so much more credit....

[SpiritHardDrive]

@foroke1 I disagree ;D

[foroke1]

@SpiritHardDrive go fuck yourself ;D

[SpiritHardDrive]

@foroke1 Well played :)

[BurcolDBZBT4Returns]

UNLISTED.

[pipe19121994]

3:39 - 4:49... GREAT SOLO!

[max2icey]

LOL RANDOM At 0:52 seconds that was weird how he just did that.

[darkshredder95]

this is why dragonforce DO NOT suck live. i have all their albums and have seen them live and am seeing them open for iron maiden at the O2 in august.

dragonforce rules!!!! \m/

[homunculous100]

uh-oh looks like zp spotted a troublemaker @ 5:03

[homunculous100]

OMG dave is my idol

[kevinsayahofficial]

why is it unlisted?

[ShadowTheBedhog]

When me n my gf saw them a second time he pointed at my gf n said "your space!":D

[MegaPrincess1998]

DRAGONFORCE ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[thenyappymaker]

i've heard three of their songs, and they all sound the same...

[SkullXII]

They looks fucking WASTED! xD

[Savstad95]

How i would love a vocal lesson with ZP!

And keys with Vadim!

Those two are my idols!

[lazyguy1393]

BOO DRUM TRIGGERS.

if they werent there, you wouldnt be able to hear the bass drums from how soft hes tapping. GAY

[wagsbass]

its amazing they get invited to Grasspop. They suck very badly

[ShadowTheBedhog]

@wagsbass Fuck off

[musicftwh1]

this song is like th ecomplete opposite of operation ground and pound. it's like their making songs for everyone out there. nearly every song has a different beat to it...

[mykolassss]

Everything about this band sucks. EVERYTHING!

[musicftwh1]

@mykolassss come again? did read that right? if i did, u have some serious problems with ur brain or ears or something. your comment is as bad as if it was filled with swear words. i am that offended. and i know i'm not the only one.

[mykolassss]

@musicftwh1 I think it's you who has problems if don't realise how crappy this band is. However, this is just my opinion and there is no point in getting pissed at me like some clueless cunt. Just listen to your freakin' dragonforce and don't bother me with your stupid accusations. And don't even bother commenting back 'cause I just don't give a fuck.

[CrimzonAE]

@mykolassss

If you hate the band then just leave the video and fuck off. This band is fucking awesome and that's mine and many others opinion.

[mykolassss]

@CrimzonAE Trust me, I really don't care.

[ShadowTheBedhog]

@CrimzonAE I agree Dragonforce is fucking amazing n the people that hate go watch something they like instead of wasting their time

[ShadowTheBedhog]

@mykolassss Howabout u stop wasting your time here n watch something u wanna watch

[ooberpwnage]

Haters gonna hate so fuckem. DRAGONFORCE FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[elliottking1]

i love listenin to dragonforce but i hope they find a new singer soon but still nobody compares to zippy

[121709HGR]

not bad

[TheOldSpirit]

bassist is so fucking funny

[RockFan9927]

Dragonforce has gotten better at playing live

[DanMeagher]

I read an interview an interview with herman. They couldn't really hear themselves for this gig. Thats why they don't sound tight for this gig.

[MrGuitargod54]

0:53 the guitarist in the back round "WEEEEEEEEEEEE" LOL

[seppe8340]

@MrGuitargod54

LOL indeed XD

[BandofAsians]

@MrGuitargod54 LOL i cracked up at looking at that thanks mate

[JuulYT]

@MrGuitargod54 Sam: ZP, Help! Im getting chased!

xD

[TheReagentX]

Everyone knows that listening to Dragonforce makes your penis grow 4 times its normal size.

[Connor6c]

They definitely redeemed themselves.

[shuttervox]

Self parody at it's best.

[femoman]

@shuttervox OH damn straight. Dragonforce are one band that do not take themselves seriously! Their songs are based around video game philosophy, and he regularly changes the lyrics as a joke, such as changing "Now here we stand with their blood in our hands" to "Now here we stand with our cocks in our hands"!

And that's why people love them: They are not serious. They are a cross between speed-metal, power-metal and party-metal.

[loblit05]

@femoman well, i like the video game lyrics. but i didnt know they changed their lyrics like that. thats freaking stupid.

[guitarcrazy0597]

niceee

[timsb2004]

damn i love this song

[aanbeka]

MAntap Coy>>>>>>>>>>

[Fuki385]

Guys, does anyone know of a T-Square, a Japanese band. The part from 3:39 to 4:33 sounds like a copy of their music. But who knows, maybe Herman Li is a big fan :D

[Fuki385]

Guys, has have anyone heard of T-Square, Japanese band? The part on this song from 3:39 to 4:43 sounds like a copy of their music. But who knows, maybe Herman Li is a big time fan :D

[slagemo]

HAHAHAHAA 0:54 awesome!

[DragonForceFun]

herman li and sam totman are fantastic!!!!!

DragonForce!!!!!!

[Allen666666666666666]

OOOO my god thei suck =)) i fucking hate these full of shit loosers

[xHeArLs0x]

ahahaha sam 0:55 no manches yeaaaaaaa dragonforce loveeeeeeeeee

[petewentzfucksmen]

HAHAHAHAH 0:53

[warpme11]

0:53 sam's like shut up ! im in a hurry

i guess dave uses triggers ?

[DragonWarriorX99]

"erase the past of........your space" lol and on the actual song sounds like "erase the past of myspace" lol

that performance was funny like sam running backwards and the singer's like OK near Dave lmao

I LOVE DF!!!!!

p.s y does Dave have 4 pedals??? i know 2 for the bass drums but why r the other 2 for???? i dont get it, dave is awesome tho.

[iKeyboard15]

ya vadim solo!

DRAGONFORCE ALL THE WAY!!

[brmoore18]

@DragonWarriorX99 well its a cheater pedal...but he only uses it on the like insane fast shit because its impossible to double bass that fast and long without getting tired. there actually kinda cool. and it doesnt mean that dave is a bad drummer : ) but yeah cause you wanted to know im am telling you. DF rules

[FunkMasterGodOfRock2]

It isn't impossible, he just can't do it.

[supermanakasean]

im not sure about the 2 pedals that are close together, but his bass drums are just for show, hes always used triggers live.

[fireninja242]

is he using a tripple bass pedal or what?

[mynameisbricktamland]

@fireninja242

Yeah, he's got 3 feet. No, he isn't.

[brmoore18]

@fireninja242 yeah he is

[Premdus]

Dave you rock !!!!

[razorslice17]

xD 0:53 i pissed myself Sam just flies across backwards!

[animedude107]

and yet u go on their videos

[Magicquel567]

@bollwerk94 your the last piece of crap I would ever listen to. :-)

[burroughs334]

Wow. These guys are complete, overblown horseshit. That drummer is a doofus.

[PowerDaso]

reasons?

[rkochamp07]

This is my second fave song from Ultra Beatdown! My first fave is "Heroes Of Our Time"

[Gabbekuss]

At 0:54, What was Sam doing? xD

[longlivemetal666]

lolz

[PowerDaso]

An special dancing he and Vad do all the time. Consists of running backwards like a freak trying not to do one of his legendary stage falls xD

[ShadowRaptor95]

Oh gee, I'm sorry they're not playing perfectly, asshole.

[mav6771]

HOW IS THIS TERRIBLE?!?!?!? Its pretty much perfect!

[danielrrjd]

no need to do a shred version of it

[bizooo123]

THE reasons to Live = listen dragonforce

[M00seFish]

So happy he changed the lyrics from my space to your space. My space sounds like myspace and thats just gay.

How did Sam do that at :52 ?

[MegashadX]

lol, I think the "myspace" reference was on purpose...I mean, come on, "erase the past from my space...

Images of loneliness sent far across the land"?! XD I think he just says your space at the shows, to the fans for some....reason.lol

[GuillermoSmyser]

I thought about that too: like posting too many pictures of yourself on myspace just shows how lonley you are and it sends this message all over the internet.

[DE4life]

the crowd here sucks. the crowd was better for their 2006 show where they fucked everything up .

[Aeilegs]

they walk around a lot....

[0verlord1841]

lmao @ sam @ 0:54

[ShaunyDragonForce]

haha, just imagine him going "VROOOOM"

[0verlord1841]

ROFL!!

[williamgag]

CAPITAIN JACK SPARROW

[alejov315]

canta tan mal el wn en vivo xD

[ZOMFG102]

fucking love the solo , so medolic!!!

[GuitarRulezMeh]

I think they are really good to be honest, but I also think that dave mackintosh's drummin sounds outrageous. he is just fast on the bass pedals but it soudns radge

[groovybassline]

(it's because he's wearing converse shoes, official drumming shoes)

[lefflan]

Was that something negative about dave or something good? I didn't really understand what you were trying to say

[groovybassline]

It's kinda weird how the way they are is nothing like their music and I think Sam is balding and that Zp looks like a Mexican pirate

[RossGeller79]

somehow he reminds me of jack sparrow XD

[wesker888]

:54

lol

November 14.... I must be there!!!

[GojiraFan15]

im seing them 24th november

[weezurblue]

sweet solo

[mightymasochist]

operation ´´revenge graspop 2006´´ completed. way to go dragonforce!

[foroke1]

revenge raspop 2006? it was more like totaly redemption of every sucky performance

[Hellsadvocate]

Read the interview on ultimate-guitar.

Their techs hadn't even tuned the guitars before that show rofl.

[HurricaneTBag]

Sam's like the best dude.

[Luigifan2000]

Is Sam stealing the spotlight around :54?

[BuckQue]

This song really sounds like one of the songs they've already released

[DeanForce]

alotta ppl say they suck live, well i say fuck off.

this just showed u how good they are, i think they are awesome live!

[kalla933]

i say they are better than before

[darpiii]

0. 54

[EaSkateVideo]

Wtf, how does Sam do that? xd

[HurricaneTBag]

Where is everyone here to say that Dragonforce sucks? I've waited for these asshole to put up videos of them playing their balls off live like I've seen many times (Sam if you're reading this I still have pictures I need to send you of us hanging out at the bar), so I can shove them down the throats of the haters.

[lalamik]

WHY ? If you say that... it's because there's surely a reason... then go i'm waiting for your explaining...

I Saw Them live and... it was just awesome... every member of the band then... shut up

[GuillermoSmyser]

What color is Herman's guitar here? At 3:03 it is glowing too brightly to see!

[Rocksoccer123]

It's his purple Ibanez EGEN18 signature model.

[GuillermoSmyser]

You should watch the video before you comment. It's platinum blond according to the official website. I have the purple Egen and it certainly doesn't look like that.

[Rocksoccer123]

Oh, sorry, my bad. :)

[merander9]

yellow

[JamesHazBeHaiTyme]

Yeah its his "platinum blonde" (gold) EGEN. He uses them both live now. I like the purple better, but the gold is pretty cool too ;)

[Noxus007]

why does he have 4 bass pedals?

[Malik82691]

I love it how people say DragonForce is a poser power metal band...thats the most ridiculous thing i've ever heard, and because they have video game influenced sounds in their music??? thats just makes them more original.

[mav6771]

i dont quite understnad why people say stuff like "Fred's useless you cant even hear the bass" I could hear the bass perfectly throughought the whole song...i dont understand why people hate dragonforce...why do people look up Dragonforce just to put up a mean comment...It doesnt make any sense! They know DF fans are gonna be mad at them, so why do it?! ...

-Dylan

[HurricaneTBag]

I hate when people think that they can lock into a 210 BPM grove just like that.

[Malik82691]

Lol id play the triangle just to get in this band, they fucking rock! haha

[Cryptopsy666]

I stopped watching after they didn't film Vadim for ANY part of his solo, but managed to film him running back to put his keytar away.

How does this get away as professional? fucking weak

[Drocks0]

Since they obviously had multiple video cameras I'm sure one of them caught him playing they just chose not to use that camera angle for some reason.

[Cryptopsy666]

Vadim gets no respect! haha

[GuillermoSmyser]

Vadim is awesome! He didn't mess up even back in the day. I'll bet he takes the least time to record for the albums.

[beatmaster8000]

Probably my favourite guitar solo in this song. Just so melodic and happy sounding haha.

[yawgmothfluffy]

reminds me of the amazing breakdown in disciples of babylon

[Cryptopsy666]

Hell yeah

[wcpelle]

They sound sweet @ live !!!

Dragonforce FTW from Finland \m/

[exilimtw]

why did dave use four bass drum pedal?

[madonnaisafag]

he doesnt use his bass drums at all there jst for show he uses electronic pads

[Dtyler171]

I don't know where you get your crap from, but Dave definitely uses the double bass pedals.

[madonnaisafag]

ye he uses bass pedals jst not the drums if u look at the close up ull see hes hitting dwn at the ground

[mav6771]

My favorite part

0:00 - 6:32

[PokeParadox]

Got to agree this is my favourite song!

[redracoon]

none of them live within 1k miles of a barber

[mav6771]

5:16 - 5:18 ZP dancing!!

[liladrianabc]

lmfao! 0:54 fucking hilarious...great song :)

[woodnic]

never heard of this band...man they rock

[redracoon]

lol i gotta say this is like there best live video have u watched like this heall popular one they all look stoned with like hangovers

[MATTandJED]

is this actually live ?

[mav6771]

yes it absolutely is =D

[JamesHazBeHaiTyme]

yup it is, just instead of the idiots using mobile phone cameras, they rip the audio straight from the amps as its being played live.

[MATTandJED]

ohh, cuz it actually sounds really awesome, I dont get why ppl think they suck live, the friggin own !

[JamesHazBeHaiTyme]

They never sucked live on the whole, great in 2004 (look up Black Fire 2004) , great in 2008 and 2009.

Only thing people say that for is cos they fucked up real bad in 2006's graspop =P. All the storys about them failing live come from that one show, which they happened to fail at.

And in The Last Journey Home 2009 graspop vid they talk about that =P.

[Stratocoaster08]

what is up with the bass pedal at 0:18, its like not hitting the bass drum? anyone know about that?

[MiguehCISV]

lol Sam at 0:54

And ZP looks like a pirate

Still they rock my socks off 5*

[mav6771]

0:54 - 0:55 HAHAHA

[cartoonmarc]

They've gotten so much better since graspop '06

[nikkerlas]

Zp gets cooler for every time i watch the him :) Nice hat :) hehe but a shame he removed his "jewelry" he was wearing in the "last journey home" music video

[slackerdude313]

LMAO sam at like 0:54 or 0:55

[ShaddixDakota]

hahahaha lmao xD

[Kubax230]

Wooow !! the best quality on youtube. !!

[Void105]

omg sams funny in this one lol

[MarkBonszai]

im soo glad tht I never doubted Herman's and Sam's skills ever since I saw the 06 graspop vid

[bassface17]

I know, right. Now that they are a big name band they get proper setups and sounchecks, which is really important for their complex style of playing. Even tho I am sure that their guitar skill has improved because obviously its been 3 years. The deciding factor was the care that went into setting up their sound.

[sephiroth952]

wait you mean nine right?

[bassface17]

3 years since their Inhuman Rampage era I mean.
