Something all of us Dragonforce fans can enjoy.[/QUOTE]
i don't understand why all the channels are getting the name of the song wrong :confused:

meh, i don't care. going to see them in just over a week :). Edguy and Sabaton should be awesome as well.

I like when bands offer a song or two for free download on their websites, that got me into alot of bands that were just random names to me.

and this thread got me into alot of bands i also never would have heard (big thanks to Riva for telling me about Galloglass)

that's how i got into DragonForce, i downloaded My Spirit Will Go On and Black Winter Night off their website, then you got the albums and lent them to me. eventually i bought them.
i'm trying not to borrow too many cds now, i want to buy the ones i don't have genuine copies of. only 180 or so to go.

I still haven't bought a DF cd yet. Yet again, I can't find them anywhere. :mad:

i got them for a good price off amazon.co.uk, but i obviously you'll have to use amazon.com, i don't know what their prices are like. they should stock it though.

Ive had 3 of ollie's cds for like 2 months now :D

[QUOTE=Josh]that's how i got into DragonForce, i downloaded My Spirit Will Go On and Black Winter Night off their website[/QUOTE]

Yeah thats how I got into DF too.

So I think I'm going to [URL="http://www.progpoweruk.com/home.html"]ProgPower UK[/URL], mainly for Therion, and to a slightly lesser extend Freedom Call and Pagan's Mind. Line up looks pretty good, anyone else going?

he won't need cds any more though, he has a girlfriend now, he can just ring her and talk to her.

Freedom call are the only band i know from the line up

Dude, he's got [I]Images and words[/I]... she loves that album, so we can listen to it together :)

He?

I think it has something to do with the arrangement being shortened/altered.

[QUOTE=shadow_stalker]He?[/QUOTE]
You have that album. (unless you're secretly female, then she would be right) and My Girlfriend likes the album.

I am not a regular in this thread, actually I have never posted in here but I figured as I am listening to more power metal, Dragon Force, Blind Guardian, Helloween I figured I would start some discussion. And I just picked up a special edition Demons and Wizards "Touched by the Crimson King" on vinyl, it was a pic disc.

The first track is my favorite, some cool vocal stuff going on there.

I really can't get into Demons and Wizards. They're just one of those bands, I guess. Maybe it just isnt cheesy enough, I like my PM as cheesy as can be.

Heh, kind of like the Immortal of Black Metal?

[QUOTE=Deconstruction]Heh, kind of like the Immortal of Black Metal?[/QUOTE]
The cheese was my main attraction to Immortal. Have you seen their video? I posted this in the BM thread, but since you mentioned them...why not...

To me both them and Iced Earth are the most mediocre Power Metal there is. I think it is just becuase my personal taste doesn't really appeal to Thrash, I know a lot of other people here like them tho, and they are definately good, I just like most other Power Metal bands better.

That's probably the exact same thing I'm thinking. Yes. Yes, it is in fact.

[QUOTE=shadow_stalker]Freedom call are the only band i know from the line up[/QUOTE]

Technically not the first post, but man, that looks like a sweet lineup. Stupid Englishmen. :mad:

Iced Earth = Good.
Blind Guardian = Good.
Demons And Wizards = Meh.

Hansi's voice is excellent, like always, but the music bores the crap out of me. There's more to music than Eb triplets and fingerpicked clean parts.

I'm listening to Jag Panzer. I like it.

Anybody who hasn't seen the video for Immortal's The Call Of The Wintermoon has not truly lived.

One thing though, galloping isnt triplets...You probably know that but just used the word triplet like many others do. Just wanted to point it out.

But you can have galloping triplets!
And how can anyone think D&W are meh?? Probably one of my favorite power metal bands...But then again I am not a huge power metal fan... :(

I really like D&W. The debut is the superior album and Fiddler On The Green is one of my favorite songs ever.

I cant see how triplets can give a galloping effect...How ? Sorry, im just not understanding :p

And Demons and Wizard are definatly not meh for me.

See: The Trooper by Maiden

[QUOTE=Deth]See: The Trooper by Maiden[/QUOTE]

Ah okay. I opened the powertab. The place with 16th triplets and then the eigth note, right ? It makes sense. Not the galloping i had in mind though but yeah that does it.

yeah, it's not straight, but it's certainly galloping.
