Thumbs up Dragon Force

Has anyone listened to their songs.. Other than Though Fire and Flames on Gutair Hero. because that has to be the worst song out of all i have listened to. Here are some songs to check out.

Soliders of the Wasteland best gutair out of all
My Sprit Will Go On is great too
Lost Souls In Endless Time
Storming Over the Burning Fields
Vally of the Damed
and Starfire which starts out very diferent than most of their songs

I tend to dislike all bands with AC/DC syndrome - and they're no exception.

Soldiers of the Wasteland is easily my favorite. I thought VotD was okay, but for being that early it was pretty good. Fury of the Storm, though, definitely has the hardest (and coolest) guitar part of any of their songs. It was the first song of theirs I heard, and is second only to Soldiers in my mind.

Dragonforce is too generic to be taken seriously.

That, and all of their songs sound the same, they can't play worth **** live, and they have little songwriting capabilities.

What about the pictures? Pictures of them jumping around like idiots doesn't prove that they can play their own songs in a live situation.

I hate when people say this and don't realize that power metal exists on an incredibly large scale.

Meh, all their songs sound very samey, they're poor live, and the singer has really annoying voice.

Herman Li is a good guitarist, I'll give you that, but even then there are a lot better than him.

most of their songs sound the same, however, my favorite songs of theirs would be...

revolution deathsquad

and fury of the storm

they are pretty good. Although I think people hate on them too much.

You wouldn't put a part of their lyrics in your custom title if you'd just believe they're "pretty good."

The underlying message is that Dragonforce's ballyhoos are designed to spawn delusions of anarchism's resplendence. And they're working; they're having the desired effect. Contrary to the Rousseauian ideal of the transparency of the general will to itself, if the past is any indication of the future, Dragonforce will once again attempt to divert our attention from serious issues. I, speaking as someone who is not a raffish incubus, find Dragonforce's comments rather corrupt, don't you? If we don't do something soon, Dragonforce's mendacious machinations will rise like a golem with a million hands on a million throats to choke the honor out of decent, hardworking people. Are you beginning to get the picture here? Often, the lure of an articulate new pundit, a well-financed attention-getting program, an effective audience generator, hot new "inside" information, or a professionally produced exposé is irresistible to hotheaded fiends who want to set the hoops through which we all must jump. If Dragonforce is going to brandish the word "compartmentalization" (as it is commonly spelled) to hoodwink people into believing that you and I are objects for it to use then casually throw away and forget like old newsprint that's performed its duty catching bird droppings, then it should at least have the self-respect to remind itself of a few things: First, people like it make me sick. And second, it is legitimate to have misgivings about vindictive clunks who impose mealymouthed new restrictions on society just to satisfy some sort of high-handed drive for power. Why do I tell you this? Because these days, no one else has the guts to. I would like to go on, but I do have to keep this letter short. So I'll wrap it up by saying that Dragonforce profits from human suffering.

In a prior post, I identified a set of ideological premises as superordinate constructions that maintain the rhetorical context in which Fenor is able to introduce changes without testing them first. I will now elaborate on three of his most yellow-bellied premises:

1. Clever one-liners are a valid substitute for actual thinking.
2. The Queen of England heads up the international drug cartel.
3. Two wrongs make a right.

Let us note first of all that his anecdotes always follow the same pattern. He puts the desired twist on the actual facts, ignores inconvenient facts, and invents as many new "facts" as necessary to convince us that the best way to serve one's country is to impose directionless new restrictions on society just to satisfy some sort of intransigent drive for power. He claims to have data supporting his assertion that the best way to reduce cognitive dissonance and restore homeostasis to one's psyche is to reduce social and cultural awareness to a dictated set of guidelines to follow. Naturally, he insists that he can't actually show us that data -- for some unspecified reason, of course. My guess is that he's hiding something. Maybe he's hiding the fact that his encomiasts actually believe the bunkum they're always mouthing. That's because these types of insensate, insincere degenerates are idealistic, have no sense of history or human nature, and they think that what they're doing will somehow improve the world before the year is over. In reality, of course, at this point in the letter I had planned to tell you that Fenor fails to consider the consequences of his disagreeable jokes. However, one of my colleagues pointed out that several of his cringers, who asked to remain nameless, informed me of his secret plans to put frightful, appalling roustabouts on the federal payroll. Hence, I discarded the discourse I had previously prepared and substituted the following discussion in which I argue that Fenor's apologists believe that Fenor has his moral compass in tact. It should not be surprising that they believe this, however. As we all know, minds that have been so maimed that they believe that we're supposed to shut up and smile when Fenor says irritating, unenlightened things can believe anything, especially if it's false.

I am highly critical of those who tolerate or apologize for people who work with Fenor. That, in itself, will condemn us to live with haughty nincompoops by the next full moon. The unalterable law of biology has a corollary that is generally overlooked. Specifically, his argument that obscurity, evasiveness, incomprehensibility, indirectness, and ambiguity are marks of depth and brilliance is hopelessly flawed and absolutely circuitous. Fenor's minions are predatory at best, the downfall of society at worst. I trust that I have not shocked any of you by writing that. However, I do realize that some of my readers may feel that much of what I have penned about Fenor in this letter is heartless and in violation of our Christian duty to love everyone. If so, I can say only that I have no set opinion as to whether or not Fenor's capable of monstrous effrontery and infamous misrepresentation. I do, however, certainly allege that the facts as I see them simply do not support the false, but widely accepted, notion that we can all live together happily without laws, like the members of some 1960s-style dope-smoking commune. The bottom line is that whenever Fenor encounters a free-thinking individual who presents factual data that conflicts with his beliefs, Fenor doesn't know what to do.

yes I would. I happen to like that phrase very much. It sounds very good when they play it and stuff, so I put it in my CR. that simple.






...And Jodd, stop using such big words.
