Still can't believe you reacted to my song! 😂 Thanks again, love you guys!

[@dolihaniwiyanto6045]

Congrats bro!

[@symphonyofshred]

You guys fucking nailed it! Plus scary how Sam was able to pick out the progression and lead with just one listen.

[@quatreryukami]

YALL KICKED ASS I was wondering if they'd see this and I'm glad they did.

It's a good song, and the solos were sick.

"Dragonforce is not the way to boost your career, you know..." -Herman Li, Dragonforce Guitarist

[@dragulia_venaro]

it's not the way to boost anyone's career.. but, it is the way to blast their career up..

[@zrevival3818]

We need a book with Herman's quotes roasting his own band. Among other jewels like "You're very picky with the lyrics for someone who plays in Dragonforce"

[@dankgameplayz7709]

Make a parody song named 'you sound like dragonforce'

[@soccermastax]

that would go viral

[@ZakairSevenfold]

Just in case you guys missed the point of the song, it’s literally a tribute to Dragonforce. Their lyrics reference multiple Dragonforce songs throughout, and the chorus changes from “Stop saying we sound like Dragonforce, okay? They used to be my favorite band.” To “Keep saying we sound like Dragonforce, okay? They’ll always be my favorite band.” This is pretty much a love letter to Dragonforce that was missed by nearly everyone in the chat cuz they were trying to find the key throughout most of the song.

[@cactussmitho9875]

Is it C#?

[@st3llarmemer111]

@@cactussmitho9875 Key progression of the song is as follows: E major > F# Major > D# Minor > C Minor > Eb Minor > C Minor > D# Minor > C Minor > D Minor > Eb Minor

They only say "fire" once in the whole song, it's impossible to say they sound like DragonForce.

Personally I find “you sound like dragonforce” one of the greatest complements someone could say to me.

[@mkall]

thats the point of the song, listen to the last verse

[@jephmacen6995]

Sam: The singer looks like a younger comedian. Singer: *opens his mouth* Me in my head: OH THE DRAGONS BALLS WERE BLAZING AS I STEPPED INTO HIS CAVE

[@kayom2000]

If the two hadn't talked in between all the time, they would have realized that this is a Dragonforce tribute song - and what a great song!

Guy throwing in shred and sweeps every four counts: Herman's assessment "I don't think there's enough guitar in there" =D

[@user-cu7qz4fh2k]

Yeah. Stop talking Herman. Just listen and be amazed!

[@RobBCactive]

There wasn't enough!

[@gustavoaraujo6923]

It's a nice tribute to DragonForce

[@zukioh]

Gustavo Araújo Sam and Herman missed the whole point! They reference their songs in the lyrics and everything. They even change the last chorus to show that they really are DragonForce fans.

[@streakyanchovy]

@@zukioh I think that was because they loved the song so much that they themselves were trying to figure out how to play it too.

They used to be my favorite band All my life I dreamed that I could write a song as catchy too So Sam would think that I was cool We always thought that we were the soldiers of the wasteland Kept holding on till we saw the dawn of a new world Never before had we felt such a cold black winter night between the fire or the flames We just want to be like Sam and Herman Li They're the heroes of our time Body breakdown is a f*cking awesome song but there is something you've got wrong Stop saying we sound like Dragonforce, okay?

"We don't sound like Fraser Edwards" coming when?

[@matthewfernandez2698]

Mad respect for Herman and Sam to be humble enough to say Fraser should use a more "famous" band to promote himself. That takes balls to say.

[@wosko]

That vocalist just left his warhammer 40k tourney to film that video

[@wosko]

also herman's right wtf who records a video with their hair tied back @fraser edwards

[@theshinyglaceon5969]

the amount of people dissing and calling it "generic" is actually sad

[@bryangan2224]

I love how Sam, when trying to figure out the melody, goes to the chords first. Signs of an educated musician.

[@Archontasil]

Stop saying i look ĺike jack black is their next single

[@Draztikus]

Axxis of Awesome already did that one

[@TechReviewTom]

The vocalist of Frasier Edwards can sing so well, the high notes are insane

[@ChaosReacon137]

I know the next album won't be for a while now, but god it would be interesting to either cover this song or do a collab with Fraser as he did an excellent job. Thanks for reacting to this excellent musician!

[@danielehartmann2787]

How many DragonForce-Songtitels you wanna quote in your Song? Yes.

Fraser Edwards isn't a nobody! Him along with with the vocalist and drummer are part of Ascension. They're great! And Fraser's first solo album had PelleK, who I'm sure you guys know well!

[@hahadumball]

I saw this video a week ago, the singer has an amazing voice. Frasier Edwards did an amazing job

[@JezzmanGAMES]

Nice, more powermetal. I once got the chance to see Dragonforce live, quite a few years ago in a little cafe in Belgium. I learned about them through Guitar Hero 3. And for some reason, my mom loves your music as well (Through Fire & Flames). She never listens to metal or rock, but on many occasions, she asked/texted me about the name of "That one song with the fast guitars and the singing". Thanks guys!

[@moyeonkim]

The Entropist said in chat at 6:13 that they should make a parody "you sound like dragonforce" and it's the best idea ive ever seen

[@ganbaro-averon]

Tbh ... every time i hear songs like these, it reminds me of the time i played Kirby's Nightmare in Dreamland constantly with Dragonforce to it. It fitted surprisingly well :D

[@jonnymario771]

WTF, that vocal is divine! I think they sound more like Angra than Dragonforce or a mix in between! (I hope who knows Dforce knows Angra as well.)

[@JPP15]

I just commented that! The singer reminds me of late Andre Matos (RIP)

[@MarkMezaMusic]

When Herman li asked, is it in C#? I really thought: "man, he's asian of course he knows about programming"

Sam is a genius. Listens to the song once, works it out completely and suggests improvements, that's an Amadeus-level moment, like in that scene when he rewrote Salieri's march from one hearing...

[@antonlarter2123]

makita In my opinion, Both Sam and Herman have equally great playing styles and an equally impressive aptitude for physically playing guitar, but Sam is more versed in musical theory and also is more skilled in song writing. It makes sense, Sam started Dragonforce.

[@elhombrebolita]

Amadeus level? Lol you need to start music lessons

[@Raijimura]

@@antonlarter2123 Sam actually went to a Art college and has a musical degree, Herman talked about how Sam was more musically educated while he's more of a feeling player. This was shortly at Fire and the Flames was becoming huge.

[@Fireglo]

Umm that was hardly "completely". He was able to work out some of the simpler melody parts on the spot but it would take much longer for him to learn the entire song solos and all.

[@MrSpaceAngel]

@@antonlarter2123 Herman can't improvise, his "not learned" solos are terrible and he even failed to find the chord progression of the typical metal song with his guitar in his hands. He can't survive outside the DF.
