yea, it's hard for me to find anyone that doesn't find it annoying when I start blasting "Cry for Eternity" or "Body Breakdown" :lol:

i have to give those songs a listen :D (open windows included^^)

they are probably my favorites, along with the track after that. I think its called spirit of youth, or something like that, I can't remember.

[QUOTE=unknownsoldier12;13432795]is it the singing?




it's the singing, isn't it?[/QUOTE]

Yeah mabye I just don't know what wankery means then because im not seein it.

It just means playing really fast with no melody or anything, just shred shred shred. Obviously this is his own opinion but that's what "wank" means.

Dragonforce is about as much "mindless wank" as you'll ever hear.

I like Dragonforce :(.

I like Children Of Bodom. Lets get this thread on topic!

The new DVD/CD is out or leaked. I downloaded the cd and Alexi's tone is utter crap. I've seen them twice live and it was way better! Why was cranking the gain required for that show?

Not really. Their cd solos are very good. It's just a shame their live solos are the complete opposite.

[QUOTE=MRDuCran;13437851]Not really. Their cd solos are very good. It's just a shame their live solos are the complete opposite.[/QUOTE]

From correct (sounding) GP tabs, their tunes aren't complex at all. Sam plays a power chord at 250 bpm. Herman plays ultra simple leads, except they're at blazing speeds.

yea that's what they do man...haha
although some of their solos are quite difficult

It depends on which ones you listen to.

And theres somthing wrong with that? I quite enjoy it.

Did I say they were complex? I said they were good.

[quote=Shadows Within]And theres somthing wrong with that? I quite enjoy it.[/quote]

There's nothing wrong with it, it's just some people don't like it. Personally, I enjoy it too. Same thing applies with people like Rusty Cooley. Some people think it's totally boring, others think it's super impressive and they love to watch/hear it.

Nope, but we can argue over opinions if you'd like!

"Shredding" is a novelty. Yes, it is fun to watch. Yes, it's kinda neat to listen to for a while. After a while, it gets very boring. The fact that someone can alt pick @ insane speeds doesn't make me think ultra highly of them.

There's more to writing music. ^_^

I honestly can't stand solo guitar stuff. It gets so bloody boring, it's just nothing but extremely high speed playing for the most part.

WTF. People use the word "shred" to much. It simply means playing fast so don't go saying "shred is boring" because Alexi plays fast and I'm sure we can all agree he writes so great solos THAT ARE FAST OMG.

i prefer the synth

Alexi plays fast with a purpose.

There's a difference between speed adding to the music and just playing at extreme speeds for the hell of it.

DragonForce is better than CoB and writes better songs even though they "shred" more. It's tr00f

No, it's not.

I know. I'm not even going to bother discussing it, so pointless.

It's my truth. :p

Your truth is wrong lol.
