Dragonforce
in Music ·
It’s honestly kind of a bummer how out of tune they are... I was watching some clips online of them playing, and man, they just can't stay in key! It feels like there are so many bands nowadays who don't seem to grasp the whole idea that recording stuff in a studio is pointless if you can't even come close to recreating that sound live in front of a crowd. Plus, a lot of their tracks follow the exact same formula—same arrangements, and the lyrics? Not exactly groundbreaking either... I mean, unknown and Herman are both killer guitarists (if that's how you spell it...), but maybe they haven't quite reached that level where they can actually pull off what they nail in a controlled studio environment once they step onto a stage. On top of all that, they’re missing that certain *something*—you know, that spark most modern metal bands lack while the old-school legends have mostly lost it... that edge, that grit, that specific philosophy they push through their music... Regardless, Dragonforce is still a great band to me; I love listening to them because that polished, high-speed precision somehow makes up for all those other flaws.
