If it were Sonic Beatdown it would get confused with the Death Angel song though.. (Im already getting them confused)
Looking forward to this- only DF could get away with an album title like that
Bring on the Manc Academy gig!

This will be awesome. Can't wait for this, and then the gig in Leeds with Turisas, and hopefully another 2 top quality metal acts. Bring on the ultra beatdown!

Please say goodbye?

Sorry but i have to say, Dragonforce are ballocks!

I saw them live on the Black Crusade tour with Trivium and Machine Head. They were the worst band to play the night! And as for the albums, people only like em cos of the guitar.

I don't deny both of the guitarists are good but they are WAY to repetitive.

The tour this autumn, if i was going it'd be for Turisas not Dragonforce.

And i stick by what i say; i think Dragonforce should just give up. They can't play a live show; i mean Herman stopped the show while he restrung his guitar. So please; stop putting hype behind something that is going to be mediocre and people are gonna forget about in a few months.

Dragonforce WTF?!"£1

These dudes can play guitar realllyyy well but the shit they put together is realllyyy bad. I cant help but realise it all sounds the fucking same, and their image really piss me off, does anyone find them even slightly amusing? Cause with a band name like fucking dragonforce im finding it hard to take them seriously

Please ignore the troll dragonforceblows. While it's true that there are better, much better bands out there, the guy is just trying to cause an arguement. And yes, Hendrix rocks, much beter than DF =]

Going to Newcastle Carling in October. It's gonna rock! I just hope to God that the new album will be better than the shambles that was Inhuman Rampage. I can't believe that everyone likes it so much. Or is it just the new fans, jumping on the bandwagon from GHIII? Oh, and Dragonforce have improved ALOT when playing live lately. Download was great.

Wooo I'm awesome

I have managed to convert so many people into liking Dragonforce it's unbelievable! And before you freak-accident asscandles disrespect Dragonforce, have you actually seen them live? They're are NOT shit. They weren't amazing at Download in 2006, but I've seen them 12 times now and everytime I've seen them I've left the venue and I have made a cummy shame in my trousers :-)

The people that disrespect Dragonforce are either:

Jealous of their skills
Don't appreciate Speed-Power Metal
Listen to shit like Usher and Black Eyed Pricks
Scene kids that think it's cool to slate bands that are fun and sing about happy things, and bands that are much better than Aiden and MCR

The list could keep going but I'm too lazy.

Anyway I CAN'T WAIT to get my hands on Ultra Beatdown (in fact, I'm going to pre-order my copy now,) and I'm also just about to buy me and the wife tickets to see them in Southampton (she used to listen to... Grime... at least that's what I think it's called...)

To all you Dragonforce fans: Respect.
To all you Dragonforce haters: Kill Yourselves for being so shit at life.

(BTW I'm only jokingly nasty, I just think it's a pretty cool trend to be a bitch on the internet to the rest of the cock-hand loving dweebs with their ears up against their parents bedroom door at night, listening to them fuck, and wishing one day another person that likes Star Trek, participates in Warhammer games and collecting Magic Cards, would come along and they can be equally pathetic for the rest of their lives forever in... well... a room with a single lit candle in corner, acting out scenes from The Terminator.)

Dragonforce are the best band on the planet, end of story.

Anyone wanna argue about it?

I listen to both Dragonforce and MCR, i got into Dragonforce before mcr though.

People say they can't play, maybe the power is too great for the amps to handle live.

Respect to Dragonheart and Sabrewolf, but I think Sabrewolf needs to see Dragonforce live for himself, or he has already seen them, see them in a better venue :-)
