Found a ticket on Craigslist and I am excited for some METAL on Saturday. Who else is gonna be there?
For the record, I have no idea how most of the board feels about Dragonforce.
-
GOD DAMNIT I NEED A TICKET TO THIS.

Personally, I think Dragonforce is one of the finest cartoons currently on television.

stratovarius a much better band (and dragonforces influence) are playing Sunday at Jaxx...and it's not sold out......I don't know, Dragonforce just sounds like every other power metal band...some people are busting nuts about them but listening to power metal for a long time, I just don't see what the buzz is all about...I mean good for them it's sold out...

It's completely overhyped flavor of the month garbage, where were these dweebs when Ronnie James Dio played the 9:30 a couple years ago and only drew maybe 300-400 people at best (and fucking rocked btw)? And that was with Hammerfall (a fruity band in the same vein as Dragonforce) and King's X opening the show.

I'm there.

they were in middle school

if you're excited for metal this weekend, you are going to the wrong show. perhaps some other members of this board can direct you to metal bands that don't sound like they should be on a video game soundtrack. Snailhook...your musical knowledge is required here.
-
the show's at jaxx this week are so sick...spend your money there....Dismember, grave, vital remains, demiricrous on Monday, Arch Enemy, soulless, municipal waste on Wed.
Soilwork Thursday....Sat. Destroyer 666, gravewurm, bethledign, inverted crucifix
-
On Wednesday the 4th, The Sword are playing Recher Theatre. The Sword are so much cooler than Dragonforce -- these guys sound like the Darkness with a cartoon version of Slayer on guitar. It's goofy, but not in a good A.W.K. kind of way.
-
with Trivium....right?
-
Weak. Say what you will, but I am expecting this to be an amazing show.
-
i'll be at the club tomorrow night... for Rakim and Brother Ali.
-
horse the band probably won't be playing.
their singer got arrested.
The singer of HORSE the Band was arrested on charges of pointing a gun at a woman and suspicion of robbing a gas station in Toronto. You can read a message regarding the incident from the band below:
At 5 am Lambgoat received the following email from group keyboardist Erik Engstrom:
Nathan our singer was taken to jail tonight after our show with Dragonforce in Toronto on suspicion of robbing a gas station and firing a pistol at a woman. Nathan has been reading Lonesome Dove by Larry McMurtry and got way into it, thinking he is the main character, Gus.
-
Dragonforce is a band in serious need of Cajones..
Sorry man I was done with shredders back in the 80's I prefer my music to have some depth and not sound like Super Mario brothers Nintendo.
Now props to the dude who mentioned Soilwork, I saw them back in Towson when they were playing with Darkane, SYL (woah that was cool!), and Fear Factory.
I didn't stick around for FF cause I had already seen them before and wasn't that keen on the new album.
I am still waitng for Opeth to come back to the 9:30 club, I am kickin myself for missing them back in the day.

OH MAN that is so ridiculous.
Edit: They played their show last night in NYC, so I'm assuming they are playing tonight...?
-
i'll be there, i'm gonna have to wear like 50 pairs of socks
-
Dragonforce isn't listen in the time schedule. Is this a mistake?
-
anyone know why dragonforce isnt listed on the schedule for the band times tonight?
-
they've got it all fucked up, cause there is two hours between the first and second band. i think it's
HORSE - 6:30
ATR - 7:30
DFORCE - 8:30
-
That's what I'm assuming as well, I hope you're right.
-
What a brutal show.
-
dragonforce will be forgotten about next year just like the darkness.

Nothing like that? Nothing at all? Are you sure? High, falsetto-ish vocals? Check. Lightning-fast guitar scales that have nothing to do with the melody of the song? Check. Lyrics like "Full the moon and midnight sky, Through the dark they ride
Warriors of forever will sacrifice the night"? Check. I only heard 4-5 songs by them, but they all featured these characteristics.
Please post an alternate description if you wish.
-
my fault. I thought you were describing "The Sword". Yeah Dragonforce is pretty cartoonish. so is Buckethead. and Manowar.
-
the sword > dragonforce
-
Ahh, sorry for the mix-up. I was describing Dragonforce. I'm a big fan of The Sword and I wish I could make it to the show this week. Hoping for a DC show soon.
-
Rumor has it they're headlining in Bmore w Clutch and Wooly Mammoth on NYE at Boar's head (?) or some such. Nothing's confirmed yet.

It's up on the Ramshead site, and WM has confirmed it. Should be an amazing show, and a real education for anyone who thinks dragonforce is metal.

anyone here willing to 'fess up to seeing buckethead last night?
i'll start: i did, and it was an interesting show. from a technical point of view, i've never seen anything like that dude (and yes, i've seen/heard a number of 'guitar gods'). strong element of performance art (or acid burn-out, you chose) to the show, which ran about two and half hours. "bass player" played this home-made single-string contraption made out of pipes - weird, and he was good at it. drummer was a retarded man-child. over-all, very surreal... yes, the bucket is dorky/stupid/whatever - it was good music, which was what i came for.
-
where did you see him?
I saw him at Wetlands about 12 years ago w Bernie Worrell and a few other PFunk ex-pats. Buckethead was clearly the center of attention and deservedly so. pretty phenomenal guitarist.
-
I go to Birchmere for the food.

The Sword is just as much of a joke as Dragonforce, a bunch of alternative music douchebags who discovered Black Sabbath a few years back and think we should give a fuck, William Elliott Whitmore is the only act worth seeing on that bill.
-
So what's the story with all the ridiculous band names? Do they give themselves these stupid metal names on purpose, or are they for real?

Well I was at least curious to ask the question....so I guess that I care. Are these bands being trying to be cheeky and ironic with these names and the music they play or are they serious?
Touchy touchy touchy....
-
They're serious when the money is good, $50 says the twats in The Sword were trying to be the next Foo Fighters or Fugazi back in the 90's when there was no money to be made playing metal.

maybe ... your post became part of the blur of tiresome "this band sucks" and "that's not metal" crap. there's just no need to hate on a band that much unless you let them crash at your place and they ended up drinking your all beer, eating all your food and ran a train on your girlfriend (and she really really liked it).
-
Sorry, let's all sing kumbaya, emote and jack off together to shitty Atreyu records.
-
Is this testosterone fight still going on?
-
Just watch out for the 14 pubic balls.

hee hee ... or you could go back to saying "Thith thucks" like Butthead.
