In the Inhuman Ramage era they were also completely shitfaced every single show, any comments I've seen about them from that time were extremely negative and old live footage isn't great. They did pull themselves together for that live album before they fired ZP and they sound great on it. Well maybe not great, but it's a fine live album for 2010 DragonForce.

I wanna go to a DF show just to see if Herman Li is really doing all that cool shredding. I assume he is but I've read the debate online so many times.

Confirmed.

The first time I saw Dragonforce -- the only time before last night that I'd seen Dragonforce -- was in 2007, and the band was terrible...with the exception of Herman Li. ZP is, to this day, the worst live singer I have ever heard. I can't even describe it, I've never even heard karaoke that bad. Herman Li was and remains loving amazing though.

Here's a couple for Devin fans. These guys remind me of some of musical motifs, especially the vocal style. Listening to the album now and it seems pretty awesome.

Yeah when I saw them live my only real complaint was ZP, it felt like he really struggled to keep up with the band. But it didn’t actually matter, they were still an absolutely ton of fun to watch live. Trampolines and fans blowing back their hair? A good time.

I saw them in 2009 with Sonata Arctica after they'd blown up from Guitar Hero fame and it was a solid show but also the biggest concentration of nerds that I have ever seen.

Ha I must’ve caught them juuuust before all that as I remember I went to see Children of Bodom in London on the Thursday, Dragonforce and the righteous Edguy on the Friday in Manchester, then got up early Saturday morning at home and bought an Xbox 360. I think the game came out a few months later.

This crushes and I feel is actually better than any of their main bands' recent output. Usually those "supergroups" feel trite and are just wasted potential but this feels like it has all the best elements of their bands combined in a fresh sound.

It was our first concert since covid hit so it was especially meaningful.

This was a sorta throw-away comment, but it hit me too recently. Had my first show mid-March and for some terrible sounding opener I could not have been less interested in, I had to fight back emotions for a bit because holy poo poo. Live music!

I don't follow their line up changes... The "current" version?

I think they're referring to how there are two bands using the name now, after an acrimonious split.

Immutable is out and it's absolutely crushing. Was worried that covid troubles and a long production time would lead to a subpar end result but it's one of their best albums, Phantoms is an immediate favorite.

I wasn't that into it initially but the more time I've spent with this album the more I'm enjoying it.

Ligature Marks and They Move Below in particular are incredible, when they slow things down it's just amazing, really reminiscent of Nothing.

I'm watching that Metallica 40th anniversary concert, and it's super cool as they have a great stage layout and they seem to playing a good range of tunes but all I can hear is

SNARE

and holy gently caress it's killing me. I have a pretty decent speaker setup but no EQ designed to notch the poo poo out of this goddamned relentless loving snare drum. Good to know the engineer behind Justice still has a loving job I guess.
