Dragon Force, Mayhem fest, through fire and flames 7/15/08 fresno

[MichedRaud]

The drummer looks like he was invisible! I think I'm the #1 DragonForce fan in Fresno, California... but i was to young to go to this concert though! Damn! Maybe next time...

[COBWEBOWNZYA]

dragonforce havent improved, they where always good, if you look up there 2006-07 tour there technicians didnt tune there guitars and drank alot of alchohol. in other words shitty tuning bad effects, it gave them a bad name, but they couldnt fire him until the end of the tour. this proves they can play, cause until i heard some of these newer live songs i thought they sucked and were digitalaly enchanced, but now you can tell there not.

[NazoZero]

Actually, and there's a video of Sam and Herman saying this themselves... They can play the way it sounds on album, but they don't play live the same way. You'll see Sam say, "This is what you hear on the album... (does a solo) and this is what you hear at the live performance. (does a solo). I think they play it differently, with SLIGHTLY less notes to be able to play all the way through.

[EPMdragon]

@NazoZero Actually that's not entirely true. What Sam means is they add some things into the live performance (like most bands do) so the performance is worth while. I believe you are talking about the TTFATF tutorial video. They play one of Herman's solo harmonized for a tad bit live.

[EPMdragon]

@NazoZero The reason why DragonForce may sound lacking live is because of harmonies. On Inhuman Rampage, there are so many layers of guitars and almost every solo is harmonized. They can not duplicate this live because they only have two guitarists. They pick and choose who plays what harmony and where. If they got two more guitarists to help out with rhythm and backing and maybe harmonies...THEN you'd hear a BIG difference live with the supported help :) They are still amazing live though <3 DF

[lazycrazybastard]

DF have improved a lot live. I saw them at birmingham it was increddible. my guitar playing style is very inspired off herman's but i am nowhere near as good

[muldmike]

dont feel to bad, vary few people are

[G15UNIT]

guess who the first guitarist would say he skrews up. anyone? this one is an easy one! no one still?! herman li! it was obvious! wow! people, for all the bad comments u put about him u still cant guess? i saw them live! they played for the first time in 9-10 years they played in winnipeg! they were awsome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sssdfrfwrgr]

i might buy sams new guitar because ibanez are great and they have improved so much live.

[antoniown]

do you mean dragonforce has improved?

[sssdfrfwrgr]

yeah.

[Cky3333]

i totally agree. and do you mean the ice man. its like the wierd shapped guitar??? cause i ordered it and it plays so nice. i advise you to get one

[sssdfrfwrgr]

yeah i might. only thing is i heard the tremelo isnt very good on it. could get a better one on it though.

[madmadagain]

Considering how complicated there music can be... sounds pretty fucking good!!

[fuoridellatesta]

seriously, Dragonforce sounds great live now. Sam is no longer drunk and falling on his ass. Dragonforce is seriously fucking amazing live. Fuck you assholes that say computers make them sound good, that is bullshit. They are now AMAZING live. DRAGONFOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORCE!

[pimorules]

i agree

[xboxvinny123]

i fucking agree!

[nextjimmypage]

this sounds great playingwise theyve really improved

[TheAlmightyWario]

Wow, it's true, the recording equipment DOES suck ass. I saw them live in Mansfield and they sounded even better than on the CD.

Can't wait for Ultra Beatdown.

[HelloDollyw]

I went to Mayhem Fest in fresno and everyone fucking rocked. does it really matter who was on the main stage?

[ComeAsYouAre23]

i agree with you...i thought machine head should've been on the main stage not dragonforce i was at the one in Phoenix

[SOLANUM992]

They actually preformed really well. Dont be so quick to jump on the DragonForce Hate Bandwagon.
