I like Dragonforce. Why do people criticize them, when other 'artists' are in the studio doing digital effects to their voices, like Akon, and Kanye West?

I kind of like DragonForce. I've listened to Hammerfall. They're awesome, but Blind Guardian and Sonata Arctica are where it's at.

I, personally, prefer Dream Evil, Primal Fear, and, to a lesser extent, Hibria, for my power-metal needs :)

With a band like the Force, who play long and fast songs (purposely not saying technical in case I get jumped on), that require very tight harmonisation, any mistakes made are very noticeable. This is emphasised by the fact Herman and Sam really don't give a toss and prefer to jump around on stage (very) drunk. I haven't seen enough of them to really give any real statistics, but let's assume for ever 4 gigs they play, 1 is bad. This is recorded on a crappy camera phone then recycled countless times on YouTube. A lot of people who claim they can't play live have only seen these random videos from the comfort of their homes. I'm not saying the Force are perfect at every gig, that'd be naive, but to say they're bad all the time is equally daft.

no, im comparing digital studio effects, to, im guessing this is what people are saying about DF, someone who sounds better in studio compared to live, with the assumption being that DF makes their music better via studio editing. :lol:

If you watch the Making Of DVD on Ultra Beatdown you'll see how they do record. It's really funny, the vocals are recorded in Herman's kitchen and most of the guitar work is all done in Sam & Herman's bedroom. They do the rest in a studio, and it has to be watched for the sheer insanity of Vadim alone.

I hope your not defending them as being good live.

Heres a good of example of a good band live, not a comaprison between the two bands.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQBNH3UFEC0&feature=related - Studio

Notice very little difference? I actually prefer them live.

Another difference is that Dragonforce's stuff is much harder than Disturbed's. Honestly, they just play chords over and over. Even Dragonforce could play Disturbed's stuff live.

That is true, but id rather hear something simpler but good, than complicated and sloppy.

Plus its not just the guitarists playing, the vocals and drums sound much better imo.

rapping? Your linking them to rap?

mmmmk.

Ever heard of the Red Hot Chili Peppers there pal? You think he's rapping too?Also, you oviously don't know much about drumming.

The drumming is oviously not like that of andy baxter http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1xi18laNNY&feature=related --actual song not a solo

but not basic by any means.

He does rap sometimes during choruses. But his growl is just annoying. And the only drum beats I heard were the kind of stuff that just consist of a cymbal and a drum.
