I have been told by a mate that Dragonforce a band that are really hard to get into as they make most the guitar solos up on the spot as when they play them, its really good and they cant remember how they did it!

[kiltarlity]

Almost right!, many metal fans have questioned if the band can actually play their studio material, some say it's multi-layered and sped up when recorded.

Live they have played some damn awful gigs. This is down mostly to bad live sound mixing, a big problem if their onstage monitors are not cutting it, and onstage drunken-ness. As you can hear (without having to like them) their music is highly technical and fast. It is very very hard to play.. and unfortunately they are not seasoned pro's like Dream Theatre and on a much lower budget equipment wise. Live they are now supposed to be much better than a couple of years ago.

Unfortunately their previous problems have led to them being nicknamed Dragonfarce and Studioforce by some.

I'd never come across them until there was a track of theirs (Last Journey Home) on a free compilation CD that came with Classic Rock magazine recently. Thought it was pretty awesome guitar work, but I can see how they'd struggle to play it live.

[DornochCaley]

Frabbit will be my first time at the Iron Works and looking forward to it. Only thing im worried about is that they dont have many songs that would be really good for gig. But i have been told they are great live :D

[Joonya]

would this be the same dragonforce that appears on guitar hero? :D

Not convinced I like much of their other stuff so debating weather it'll be worth seeing them or not...

The Sound quality was pretty poor but the gig was great. There was two supporting Bands who were good (sabaton and another band who i didnt catch the name of) and my mate got Herman Lee's (Lead guitarist) Guitar Pick
