[visualkeirockstar]

No outro?

[dabadguy4273]

i wish the audio in this video was better... i wanna here herman li pwn every bit of that hip hop shit

[mengalite]

The only reason DragonForce sucked at Grasspop is because the people that they hired didn't do their job in tuning Herman and Sam's guitar. And couldn't here anything.

[BlackDragon2712]

2:00 Sam crashed with Vadim xD

[UN1T3DW3C4N]

The guy in the crowd "oh my God" lmao

[dw9071]

noisy haha

[SliatXD97]

did anyone see the guy placing an acoustic guitar at the end?...maybe they were going to play through the fire and flames, due to the acoustic intro, don't you think? (2:38)

[SliatXD97]

[ZatchShowbiz]

I have noticed a trend with this band. They always do the exact same stuff on every performance (the keyboardist doing the windmill, the singer swearing every other word, etc.) And if you notice the people playing each other instruments, you can tell they are only playing on one fret but the crowd is all like "OH MY GOD OH MY GOD!!!" like a double rainbow appeared or something :P

[divierrevolutions]

2:16 omg!!!! what the fuck, is imposible!!!

[xpriestsxsyrinxx]

@divierrevolutions

Quite possible.

[NightGamers1]

@divierrevolutions that's bullshit they don't do that

[divierrevolutions]

@NightGamers1 mmmmmmmmmm u all right :(

[assassinscreed2671]

is Sam Totman GAY?!!!

[MichedRaud]

@assassinscreed2671 No... he acts gay.

[pawheetmeureund1]

@assassinscreed2671 no,,,

[84xennion]

wow this asian knows how to rock!

[ParadiseMusiic]

OMG!! Lol, funny how everyone was sayin that :P

[alexaxxem]

i see sewer rat sam totman back there

[MrExilete]

People think dragonforce is all guitar its not its mostly electric key board... and they thnk the guitar is fast as hell... its not either.. -.-

[ShaunyDragonForce]

haha, LOL @ Vad

also that scream at the start with the huge amounts of Reverb / Delay is awesome....

[danilo17031989]

tks god they kiked the singer out the band!!! xD

[JimiisAwesome]

awesome key-tar

[Savstad95]

@JimiisAwesome

Yeah, im sitting with it's younger brother right now! They are a dream playing!

[syuaizuddeen]

2.34 - 2.37 nice one .

[ShaunyDragonForce]

such a shame ZP was kicked out of band

[OsHead94]

not kicked out, he quitted

[ShaunyDragonForce]

@OsHead94 yeah, theres been heaps of different arguements about it

personally, i think it was a mutual thing, i dont even know why i posted that lol

[theaxelofrose]

man these guys get a workout on stage. running aimlessly to the left side, then right, then left.

[nenahelena]

It's just amazing! Really! They f*cking rule!

[ChumbinhoPL]

a voz do zp ta um horrror!

[theunoblackguy]

they dont suck thats for sure but there music is gay its the gayest metal music ever.

[MegashadX]

......well, dude, I gotta thank you for at least hating them for a LEGIT reason. lol

[theunoblackguy]

@MegashadX lol yea man ha its true they call them metal its dumb i think all there music is the same pretty much. it just is gay they dont suck.

[MegashadX]

Okay... lol, well, I personally am a pretty big fan of the band, but I totally understand if someone doesn't like them. Sure, the singer sings in a pretty high-register, the lyrics are pretty bland and lame, and... power metal as a whole is corny as hell. Seems reasonable, and everyone likes different stuff.

I just hate when people say they suck because they speed up their shit in the studio, or they suck live. 'cause it obviously ain't true.lol

[allof8death]

well atleast u know they dont suck and u just dont like their music and for that i salute u.

[DragonWarriorX99]

i LOVE how they play eachothers instruments (well they r just holding their guitar frets) by the end of the song.

Fking awesome song.

DRAGONFORCE RULEZ

[jikininki1]

i never knew how much they sucked theyve gone to far

[schwekkl]

is it only me or do ya think that all they can do is tapping and shredding and their lyrics sux?

[Pineapple177]

it's only you.

[guitarfanatic300]

um its only you. Listen to Reasons to live, heartbreak Armageddon, starfire, trail of broken hearts.

[vailmsteen]

man, seriously , ANYONE who plays fast shit with THAT amount of whamy sounds like lightning .

Herman Li needs to know the term " accuracy "

[jorgeut]

wtf??...leo rey on the keyboards??

[indoshakermaker]

Dont know y people dont like this.

[Malik82691]

they do, they just say that stuff because they here other people say it.

I had a friend that was the same way, and it went to his house and guess what i saw? he had Sonic Firestorm! lol

So some people are just saying that because their noobs, and their just saying what they think most people are saying..theri just trying to fit in the crowd. Little do they know, more people like DragonForce than hate them. =)

[lefflan]

Exactly, they are just saying what they've heard from others.

[Malik82691]

yeah man, their just "noobs" to metal music that are just trying to follow the crowd...its actually quite pathetic.

[lefflan]

Yeah, they are just jumping on the trolls "bandwagon" without any own knowledge of what they are talking about. Like the trolls saying dragonforce speed up there music etc are just a waste of mankind.

And I hate people who still bash dragonforce for there earlier performances 06/07 when they've obviously goten ALOT better 08/09. And the only reason for them performing bad was because they couldn't hear what they were playing, now in 08/09 they have inear monitors. Herman says it in a interview.

[Malik82691]

Yeah man, some people point out mistakes that every band has done...they act DragonForce is the ones that sucked live when and especially when thats when they were just starting out. They just will point out every mistake they make. All bands sucked before they were good. And yeah, dragonforce is better than ever at their shows now. They're sound is so original, im glad to call them my favorite band.

DragonForce IS AWESOME! FUCK THE HATERS!

[muldmike]

well said m8

[sirlespatterson76]

I Agree with this, Dragonforce are a great band, You hear the people in the crowd going crazy, that clearly shows, that they are loving the music! I love it to.

[Malik82691]

Hell yeah! Lol...i cant wait for the new album! Its gonna be fucking sick! :)

[Stevezftw]

I agree, well said

[theaxelofrose]

@sirlespatterson76 i agree with you, but i'm just going to say this, if it wasn't for guitar hero they wouldn't be as popular.

[sirlespatterson76]

Yeah, I heard about them before Guitar hero 3 came out... but yes Guitar Hero probably did help.

[lfcbenitez123]

@theaxelofrose Dragonforce were still playing sold out tours before guitar hero came into the picture. And they supported Iron Maiden before guitar hero .

[bibiranger]

@theaxelofrose every famous band has got into something that made them famous, and it was dragonforce than composed the song GH3 wanted, all credit should go to the band;)

[interstate15]

@Malik82691 I coudln't agree with you more! =D

[EPMdragon]

@Malik82691 Actually, they were much better when the were starting out ^.^ Their Sonic Firestorm tour was amazing. THeir Inhuman Rampage tour was horrendous due to lacking equipment, horrible stage and roadie crews, and lack of rehearsal time prior to the tour. The types of shows they started to play with the help thy had was too much too soon. They learned from their mistakes and are leveling out just fine now :D.

[ParadiseMusiic]

@Malik82691 & there English xD

[HuskeyCavelryProduct]

@Malik82691 yea its funny because they came to my town a few months ago and played this and it sounded exactly like the studio except the guiters were tuned differently

and the singer isnt wasted

[MajinVegeta997]

@Malik82691 Agreed :D

[eldestsucubus]

sounds just like the studio recording

[quagmire50]

dude all their songs sound exactly d same with different lyrics

[StorkReaver]

... learn some music theory

[headbanger888]

No they don't. Ever hear Starfire or Where Dragons Rule?

[Kryptik316]

There were a loooooooooooooooot of people booing when I went to Mayhem Fest. I dont really dig on Dragonforce much, but they are a cool band to see live. It was epic though cause it rained aaaaaaall day, but when Dragonforce started their set, the clouds parted and sun shone down on them the entire time. Once they left, and Disturbed came on, it clouded up again. Amazing show.

[schrooms00]

thys is good shit

[Yarukaru]

2:11, coolest, thing, ever.

[dylanmart93]

I Dont get it, what they did on 2:14 ? xD

Anywayz, rock on

DRAGON FORCE FTW!

[firestorm531]

at 2:14 they positioned their fingers for another guitarist's chords and still strummed their own. very hard and awesome, btw.

[DGKALLDAYskater]

dude..this made me fall in love with dragonforce all over again..i dont know why people say they suck..unlike alot of deth metal bands..these guys show their friend relationship when they play..they seem happy..

[andrew3479]

OMG 2:14!!!!!!!! CRAZY!!!!!

[rezboi457]

if you hate dragonforce dont watch thier videos you dumbass

[blackfirehell1]

oh great dude...that's it!!!

[IamTheLandolfo]

right at 2:12

most epic fucking audience reaction in human history. great job by the band and thanks for recording bro :)

[DMVCANTuC]

HAHA luv the end OMG! lol

[DARKREGIS]

Lol agreead! XD

[cbingxuan]

Why are they jumping?

Vocalist is out of tune man.

Guitar, not bad

[ABTNT]

i hate this band, the vocalist is horrible

[headbanger888]

You shouldn't be watching their videos if you hate them, creep.

[MaiDeNrock11]

nah man, believe me, this may sound wierd but it's the recording. The camera's mic is bein well overworked and everything is 'booming' this makes it sound wrong when he goes for high notes

[IamTheLandolfo]

and Fury of the Storm, and Reasons to Live, and Heroes of our Time, and actually TTFAF. i've found great videos of those songs played live

[PraxiisizPRO]

they actually surprised me at Mayhem.

better that i would've thought live.

but Disturbed IMO was the best live.

[xXBCARLXx]

ZP sounds like a little kid

[nanoladdiesman]

INSANE I dnt know why pepole say dragonforce suck theyre really good and have great guitarist HERMAN LI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Wiiownz16]

The funny part is the only reason people think they suck is cus there 8 year olds who are still watching Grasspop. DF rocks now! DF forever.

[GeneralBlackNorway]

@Wiiownz16 actualy I liked grasspop 2006 dragonforce even with all their mistakes. Just made it more funny to watch and more original. The mistakes made the show better in my opinion. it shows that anyone can make a mistake. Especialy at such bad timing like on a concert :)

[Dragonforcerulez1]

@GeneralBlackNorway couldn't agree more :D

[XRonald1996]

@Wiiownz16 I dun even know what grasspop is.... but Dragonforce is way better

[assassinscreed2671]

@XRonald1996 grassppop is a place in europe where bands perform....

[StorkReaver]

how did you get so close =)

[jordyrulesurface]

push, shove and knock people out xD probs just moshed and ended up there

[moosefranco]

Niiiiiiiice!!! That last part was freakin amazingly flawless =D See, DragonForce CAN play live. 100% awesome. and i keep hearing they suck "big time."

[IamTheLandolfo]

This sounds pretty badass, even though i prefer seeing them in smaller club venues personally.

Dammit i wish i had Herman Li's hair :)

[juani2929]

he's awesome xD

[juani2929]

HQ camera =D hehe

people say that dragon force can't play live, they're assholes

[IWRESTLEDHISMOMONCE]

THEY CANT THEY SUCK DONKEY BALLS LIVE

[juani2929]

shut up and go listen to your katy perry or what ever you "like" listening

[PowerSlaveAlfons]

Did you even watch the video?

[1ponyplop]

omfg! that last part where all 4 of them play each others instru. was awesome!!!

[1ponyplop]

they actualy sound good live! its a first! i love dragonforce!!!!

[elpacto76]

Exelente como suena Dragonforce amigo!!! saludos de Hannyballs.-

[juani2929]

[Kensylevania]

The thing they do at the end is crazy!

[Noxus007]

[juani2929]

hahahaha lol "orgy" ahahaha thar was awesome

[K3v1n11R0cks]

yea,if u never heard of wireless then why do they have schools!and dude i cant believe u actually caught that on camera,IT WAS FUCKEN AWSOME!!!!!!

[markusjaa]

guitar sounds like playback. My opinion

[WenchesandMead]

you stubborn fuckwit.

[dragonforce525]

Can it not just register in your head that Dragonforce can play live now?

[firm1234567]

they used wireless

you stupid

i bect you can,t play that

[Zachy6297]

i bet u cant eather!

[remazor]

where are the guitar cables?

[fabianz03]

they used wireless

[dragonforce6666]

acctually if you look close enough at the input socket of herman lis Egen guiar you can see the lead.

[armaggeddonflame]

their cables go up around back to a box attached to their guitar straps. Box transmits data to the receiver; in turn to the amp.

[Blackbeast123]

Great solo and Great guitarrist

[Simogun2]

agree!

[giraffeman3705]

vadim is keboard

[Boliviolino]

OH MY GOD!!!

AMAZINGGGGGGGGG

[BloodyTenchi]

the end was awesome ^^, and a live album/dvd would be kick ass

[jorgeut]

leo rey???

[DjAchillies]

Sam is the shit!

[sushigod101]

poor dave

[sushigod101]

lol i rolled out of my chair!!!

[DespairsRox]

Fred always gets the hardest part, he has to hold the keyboard chord lmao

[robthomas05]

:O

0:14

is that tom araya from slayer!?!?

[Teddy944]

no :O, frederic leclercq, bassist from dragonforce.

[robthomas05]

haha

well it kinda looked like tom

[25ThunderbirdIV25]

If I was there, the camera would have been watching him the entire time, GO BASS PLAYERS! Duh, I'm a bass player.

[AnimatedFPSgames]

Ofc not!

[G15UNIT]

they were about to do through the fire and flames next! OMG!

[UN1T3DW3C4N]

whats that powerranger ring herman has?

[mongrale]

its called the hot hand, it lets you do a lot of effects and stuff w/ movement/position of ur hand

[ktonmu]

engineers use that 2

[Zarag0d]

Does anybody else notice more and more how Herman Li is starting to be like Steve Vai? See... 2.5k Ibanez sig. with some sort of unique hand grip. Fan on stage blowing the hair up. He does all the tremolo tricks Vai does. I don't blame him Steve Vai is awesome-Herman Li is awesome.

[HammnerFall1993]

xD Vadim and Sam 2:01

[diabeticmonkey]

They really did sound better when I saw them on mayhem fest. It was far better than on the 06 ozzfest.

[AbortTheBabyJesus]

All the people shitting on them and saying they can't play their own songs are strangely absent from this video.

[riskytim]

Because they decided to write songs they could play live on the new cd.

Or they finally decided to practice.

They did suck at it, now they don't suck so much.

You suck a lot though.

OF PENIS!

[AbortTheBabyJesus]

The Ultra Beatdown tracks are just as off the wall as their older stuff.

Also, regardless of whether or not I do suck said penis, it would not affect the validity of my claims.

[riskytim]

Hence why I said or they decided to practice.

And you're right it wouldn't make a difference on the validity of your claim.

But you do still like penis a whole lot.

[ktonmu]

there was only 1 vid prooving they play bad i was on their concert and i changed my opinion. u probably never were on their concert

[riskytim]

You're right, I was never on their concert.

However I've been at one of their concerts and it wasn't good.

You're also very wrong about there only being one video of them being bad.

I have seen numerous.

[tiemyrope666]

how long ago did u see them

[riskytim]

at ozzfest.

I don't remember when that was.

[Mastermagiciangeorge]

Since when did Dragonforce become the only band who arent allowed to mess up live?! ALL bands do! -No matter how pro they are.

And yes i know there are times where Dragonforce played bad live, but seriously, all the 2008-2009 Videos have all been good! -Haters still linger on the old 2006 graspop videos and judge their live performance from there!

DRAGONFORCE FOREVER!!

[riskytim]

You're straight up retarded.

I said they don't suck anymore.

[sam0n0toby]

absolutely dude. i was reading an iterview with fred leclercq and they might be releasing a live dvd

[Tordah90]

this was the glorious time of DF

well its valley and sonic firestorm i think :p

ultra beatdown is great too!! inhuman fucked them up

[PrepareToPie]

They need to release a live album now that they don't suck

[SimmiTN]

i have heard somethings about they planing a LIVE DVD now in 2009! That would be eaven MORE awezome ;)

[GorbulasGrubb]

sounds perfect here :D gj guys :D

[TheKaiserOXC]

GOD THAT CONCERT BLEW MY MIND!!!!!!!!

[G15UNIT]

vadim, the one with the tiger striped keytar used an orange and green wavy striped keytar

in winnipeg. lol!

[bobtheatog]

lmfao i saw them.. i sadly live in winterpeg but it was sick

[oshyria]

Holy shit they have a shit load of energy how the fuck can you not like them.

[drumminsteve]

I like music for how it sounds, not how "talented" or how much "energy" they have. I do not like dragforce. Music is alright, cant stand those high vocals though.

[playgroundlove91]

ahahah sounds like the guy from troll 2 is in the audience... "oh my gaaaaaaaad"

[Skerdingur]

thats evil! they play so nice, and (withal your camera sound) it sounds great!

[tylerlove78]

at 1:49 it shows the drummer twirlling his sticks and then herman and sam doing 360s-PURE FUCKING EPIC!

[Cryptopsy666]

"OH MY GOD.." hahaha! That's classic.

[massentertainment]

insanely awesome

[akumaexorcist87]

That was fuckin awesome!!! Dragonforce kicks ass XD That video gave me chills...I get to see them live in November, I'm SOOOOO EXCITED!!!

[CheezeFox]

lol... Vadim has got to be the most energetic Keyboardist I've ever seen.

[leelem122292]

if u think dragonforce sucks lts see u do beter then

[wavefreeko]

I couldn't stop laughing at Herman Li's hair blowin like that in the beginning! And what was the next song they played?

[Corster77]

probably through the fire and flames because at the end of this video you see the roadies bring out the acoustics and when i saw them that was the only song they brought out the acoustics for.

[Glidbo5]

They...didn't do the ending solo...so cruel... :(

[wwbbcg]

there are 2 versions of the song

[Karanu]

DAAAAMN you got close seats.

[szullecc]

people who say they suck, are fuckin idiot :) I love dragonforce :) Peace from Poland :)

[bobert59]

LOL! CIRCLE JERK!!! lol Jp.

[antireeses122]

awesomeness, y does herman li have that ring on his right finger?
