Hip-Hop Head REACTS to DRAGONFORCE: "Heroes of Our Time"

[@jimmymetal]

When you react to dragon force try to rect to the album version of their song, on youtube they cut parts of thr song. Pd: good reaction do more

[@nickeicher9106]

[@flxrian.0323]

Yes, I just heared the spotify Version and the drumming is way better on yt

[@FlergerBergitydersh]

Dragonforce has multiple songs about Armageddon; specifically, the war between heaven and hell, angels and demons. This one is clearly from the point of view of the angels. Operation Ground And Pound is another one that seems to tell the story from the side of the demons, as they finally fall and submit to their enemies.

[@jaketaylor8176]

OGAP telling a story? This is a funny comment. That song makes zero sense to me.

[@lynetteharris2509]

I've never heard them b4, damn they play like lightening!!! I'm definitely going to look up more of their music--thank you for doing this video!!

[@Deakesy]

Revolution Deathsquad is another favourite of mine! But they have so many good songs. Especially the earlier stuff

[@thehunter7422]

Very awesome song . It also has the longest solo they ever did. About 3 and half minutes . Lol. Very epic solo.

[@SuperALXB]

@@thehunter7422 3 and a half minutes is a stretch it's more like a minute and a half, Soldiers Of The Wasteland is longer

[@thehunter7422]

@@AlphaXbot nope . I timed it . Its around 3 to 3 and a half minutes . The song is almost 8 minutes long. Soldiers of the wasteland is about 2 to 2 and a half minutes long . I have all the albums on Spotify and the cds and I listen to them 24/7 . I think I know what I'm talking about .

Alex, in regards to your fondness for Power Metal, you may enjoy stuff from Primal Fear, Gamma Ray, and Silent Force as examples. I think you'd like them.

[@calebhawk6868]

Ughhh, this song is so nostalgic XD I love all metal now, but dragonforce is what originally got me into metal, and I listened to this song way too much

[@smearygoregamer1982]

I was listening to Nightwish today and I know you have done several videos on them. Whats not to love, lol. But I saw under "similar bands to nightwish" a band called Battle Beast. And OMG some of their songs are amazing! Had to share them with you. Eden and King for a Day being my favorites. In fact I learned that Battle Beast opened for Nightwish once and Nightwish liked them so much they did a cover of one of their songs that night. Would be awesome to see you react to either of those songs I listed but they have several pretty good ones. Had to share them since they are not fairly well known I dont think. Some of their songs only have just a couple hundred thousand listens. Thank you and Take care!

[@L1FEL1KE02]

Check out Beast in Black. It's the original guitarist from Battle Beast's band. Pretty damn good

[@smearygoregamer1982]

@@L1FEL1KE02 You know, I was wondering about that the other day. Cause I saw Beast in Black a little while after finding Battle Beasts and noticed the names are similar, the lion warrior logo on the covers are similar, and the font for the spelling of the names on the album are similar and wondered if there was a connection between the two. Interesting to know.

[@hamimabd]

[@markdemars7044]

JDavid Rangel Exactly right. As a matter of fact, I even have to say that Dragonforce has not made a single bad album in my opinion because a lot of their power metal works on guitar are basically just amazing and they unleash all kinds of melodic guitar solos and soaring vocals in every song they have written. Even with Marc Hudson, they still have not made a bad album at all. That’s how good they are and how awesome to me because they just sound so cool to me.

[@RogerLaLoutre]

I'd like to recommend one band of power metal, that I don't see anyone reacting to : Holy Grail. Especially their song "My Last Attack". Got me in one fell swoop at the first listening. All right, they're a small band. All right, they aren't as gifted as Dragonforce, music-wise... But damn, Holy Grail is a band I can listen to 24/7 and not be bored with, especially their first album "Crisis in Utopia". Please, Alex and Hefnerds, if there isn't a reaction to it, I don't care, but at least give a listen to 'My Last Attack" and tell me what you think of it.

[@TheWiseGrif]

Descent Into The Maelstrom was my introduction to Holy Grail and I've been lowkey obsessed since

@@TheWiseGrif Descent Into the Maelstrom is awesome. Can't say I loved the rest of Times of Pride and Peril as much, but the album was good overall, and the band is still good power metal after all these years

Speaking of the drummer, last time I saw them there was a group of kids in the crowd and they were belittling his talent, based on how easy it was to "play on Guitar Hero"... I shit you not. I just calmly explained to them that they had no clue what they were even talking about. That if they sat down at a real drum set, they wouldn't even know how to position themselves properly.
