Sam Totman of Dragonforce...

[pagemalicious]

that is ridicululously ugly, and the risk of sounding heretical....


















DRAGONFORCE SUCK !!!

They are without doubt one of the most boring monotonous bands i've heard in a while. If they stopped widdling pointlessly for like even a few seconds it wouldn't be so bad, but they don't and they just sound like early 90s happy hardcore rave music..their singer even does the chipmunk vocals perfectly...

now i know a lot of dragonforce fans, but it seems all of them like dragonforce for the widdly factor, which is great, but i've heard far better people widdle, and do it far more interstingly, vai satch, becker, friedman, etc etc.... its not original and it certainly isn't that interesting...i mean seriously...

i'm sorry i just had to get my rage out there..i can't stand boring bands who make it big based on novelty factor...

abso -fugging - lutly!

[Snoogans]

It's unlike Ibanez to make a really fugly guitar, (That is ESP's job ) but that thing is an abortion! Reminds me of the old Gibson Corvus.

I disagree, they may not be YOUR cup of tea but they certainly don't "suck"..no fuggin' way!!

a little too "Happy" for my liking as well but you can't deny the talent in that band..

They are NO trend..that music has been around forever..their from the Helloween school of metal..not the Dream Theater school...even tho there is prog influences in their soup..there is alot of power prog bands that sound like this for a VERY lond time "underground"..they just put their own spin on this..and took it up a notch IMO!!

I discovered Dragonforce over SIX years ago..and supported them ever since..even tho they are not excatly my cup of joe, ..I support talent/metal in general..because I'm completely obsessed with and appreciate both!!

if you don't support real metal bands..we'll get Limp Biscuit/Korn/Rage against the Bill Z Bub back, and call THAT "metal"..I don't want that to ever happen again..because THAT shit fuggin' "sucks"...IMO!!

I don't know about you guys..but I'm all wiggered out..I'm glad it's just about gone..blessed be ..GODDAMN!!!

Dragonforce is just one out of 10,000+ anthemic powermetal bands like Rhaposody, Skylark, Dragonland, Dreamtale, Sonata Artica and ect..it's their style, you may not like that style..but it's real and it's metal.

After 15 years of NO guitar solos , scratching records, making fart noises in your hands, and gettin' jiggy wit it...Dragonforce should be a breathe of fresh air..just because you didn't see them on MTV until now..it's a "Trend"..???!!

So when MTV/VH-1 starts to play your favorite metal bands for the first time in a decade or decades ..will that be a "trend" too..I guess so..

Dragonforce is NOT a "new" band..they have a demo and three records under their belt and been around since late '98..when Rap and NU ruled my world!!!

It's certainly refreshing to me to see guys that can play better than I in guitar world instead of some fag that makes ~wiggy~wiggy~wiggy~ noises on a guitar..SOUL POWER my ballZ!!

whether this resurgeance of metal is a trend or not..I don't give a damn..I'm just glad I can turn on my TV and watch a guitar solo I can't play instead of watching white kids holding their dicks dressed in FUBU wear..

HAIL to ALL true metal bands and shred..because true talent will never die, but TRENDS will always die!!!!

Rev. B. FUGGUMS..defender of metal and all that shreds.

[horns666]

Yes that guitar is FUGLY..Totman is always drunk..but the motherfucker can play better than anyone on this thread..

and that's coming from someone who can play like a motherfucker!!

Rev. B Fuggums..defender of shred.

Eric Peterson's Dragonlord kicks ass!!! Oh, wait, wrong band. Carry on.

[Zerberus]

I didn't find a V Blade, but I did find this ugly as fuck guitar.

The "V Blade" will probably never be for sale within the US as IbeenHad would get sued straight into the ground, and rightly so..

[Bandersnatch]

According to the dragonforce website the V Blade comes out in january 07.
I think it's in the gear section.

[AfterForever]

Here's a video where he uses his new Ibanez V

[Jacksonite]

yeah
its coming out at NAMM

[horns666]

Oh Yeah...these guys fuggin' suck!!!!

Get the fuck outta here..

[StukaJU87]

I had never heard these guys until this morning. I was listening to XM and heard "Through the Fire and Flames"? I think that is what it was called. It did have a "happy" sound to it but I really did like it.

I'll take their vocal style over the "screaming baby Jesus in a blender" vocal style any day.

[DTP]

I listened to the whole Valley of the Damned CD and the music was ok, the vocals were low in the mix I couldn't understand anything he sang and that drummer needs one of his feet cut off. His drumming was very annoying, all the double bass stuff, god give it a rest. :/

[bonghits]

Oh, I play a few Ibanezes too... Am I bad now?

I own a couple myself and I still suck! At least with my Jacksons I still suck but look damn good with 'em!

[Davey]
