Dragonforce Cancel Tour

2009-11-13 by Prophet178 | 91 Comments
Dragonforce have canceled the remainder of their 2009 tour and all of their 2010 dates in order to write a new record.

The band stated: "The reason for this is that at the end of the 2009 UK part of the Ultra Beatdown World Tour, the band will start writing a new studio album scheduled for release in 2011. They will need to focus totally on this, and unfortunately this means all live shows for 2010 have been cancelled."

"to write a new record"

What the fuck is the point, they already have 4 CDs of the same song.

As to why they can't write while on tour- it must be pretty hard to write while they're drunk off their asses the entire freaking time.

My guess is they just don't want their "fans" to realize how badly they butcher and bastardize their own songs live.

If I had to buy a GH episode about bands that are technical for the sake of it I'd rather have a PsyOpus or Behold... The Arctopus game tbh.

Sam Totman turns up drunk (well actually, all of them do). At one point he attempted to play the guitar with a can of Jack Daniel's in his hand. Needless to say he failed epically.
It is one thing to do the solos in the studio where if you fuck up you get as many chances to retry as you want. Live its a different matter, and they often miss notes and screw up entire sections.
To make things worse they are out of time with the drums and each other. Making the entire show a complete and utter shambles.

No, I don't think he's possible of that kind of thing. He can't even remember to cut his hair after all.

I saw DragonForce with Between The Buried And Me right when Alaska was coming out, and DragonForce played everything spot on perfect, and was more fun to watch than BTBAM.

(Note: I like BTBAM, and I think DragonForce is boring).

How can they take so much time when they've never written two different songs?
