The unsung hero of this song has to be the drummer... you know homeboy threw about 3000 kicks in the last 6 minutes...

[@metronome7698]

I'm a little late, but I believe a double peddle was used, so that makes it slightly less ludicrous, but it's still very impressive.

[@jesterinadeck_2980]

Trey Potts. Well of course 2 would be needed as just 1 pedal wouldn’t be able to keep up with the speed the man was achieving.

[@rooster1610]

@@metronome7698 are you serious? I hope you mean double pedal as in the pedals that do 2 hits in a single kick, because I refuse to believe you think playing like that using a single pedal (one foot) is physically possible.

[@metronome7698]

Jason Bradford I’m not sure what else I could possibly mean by double peddle, but maybe I wasn’t exactly clear enough? I meant a peddle that hits the drum twice in one kick.

[@rooster1610]

@@metronome7698 yeah, I figured. But you did fail to be a bit more specific, as double pedal is more commonly used when talking about, well, double bass pedals. But glad I got it. I actually didn't even know he used those special kind of pedals, thanks for the tidbit. Have a good one!

Have you actually watched them live properly instead of watching one old video then jumping on the band wagon? You should be renamed The Circlejerker.

[@VoidSixx]

Thanks for proving that you haven't listened to them live properly. You don't magically lose all your skill when you stand up. Sure, it's a little more awkward and takes some getting used to, but Sam and Herman have been playing for decades between the two of them. You think they aren't used to it by now? Nobody cares what days you claim to be from, it's completely unrelated to the subject. Trying to squeeze in something for your epeen? At least you got one part right, there's no fanboy shit here. I don't even listen to the band, I just know when a band is genuinely poor, and when people have to compensate by hopping on the band wagon because it's "cool" to hate something.

[@MrFusion101]

i just said i did, can't you read, you need to read all this then reply. You don't play guitar mate or you would know if you sit in a classical position ( if your right handed) with the guitar on your left knee, go try it and look at your hand position and feel the relaxed natural feeling your tendons in your forearm take. OK now from the minor 3d of E on the 5th string, play this string skipping arpeggio in Em. 3rd, 7th, root(octave higher) right up to the E on the 12th fret on the high E and back again. OK. Now stand up lower your strap so your guitar is very low like a rock star, play the same arpeggio. Notice your hand position the tension in your forearm and the fact that you will struggle a little more to make the stretches. If you practice standing up with your guitar in the same position you play live your muscle memory will develop differently. Have you never seen a REAL great player put his foot on the fold back for a complex solo, guess why? because its easier to play cleaner. fuckn fanboy scum, I've have a bachelor degree in contemporary music. I actually played in bands and recorded real albums, we recorded at the Butterfly effects managers house. You miss my point because your a fan boy. youtube search Ro Armu Tani, that was one of the more commercial bands i played in. those songs were re-written multiable times 14 min songs became 3-4 min catchy tunes, we removed all the big solos. Its nice to have big epic complex solos but when you have to play that night after night you spend more time just keeping your chops up plus its easier to jump about like a dickhead and head bang.

[@braxtonmarshall1883]

The Kurgan bro quit with all the hate, for fuck sake are you a metal head or are you a little bitch? I play guitar and while it's more relaxed to play sitting down with guitar on left knee, Playing standing up is not much different, a little bit more difficult not by much. And definitely not impossible, Just practice more, you probably aren't very good that's why you're spewing so much hate, You poser

Metal is art, not only the most beautiful art in music BY FAR, they are also the greatest performances in any music genre that there ever was and ever will be.

[@DrDizzleFrizzle]

I mean, to be fair, Dragonforce definitely falls on the performance side of things. What the guitarists are playing isn't all that fast or complex, however, making your hands look like they're jumping all over the place and using a very frantic feeling backing track makes it seem far, far, far faster, it's a pretty good trick, but it is a trick. It's still shreddy and all, but nothing crazy.

@mark tamayo Yeah. The artists might not even have had a say in it. There's a record label behind them doing the publishing and marketing. Not that I know anything about their deal or anything, but they might have been forced to do it for the reason you listed: it's easier to sell "commercial standard length" tracks i.e. easier to get slots for them on the radio and TV.

I was curious (not a musician but find the process of making music, not to mention how instruments are made, fascinating) about how one can improve their dexterity to such an incredible degree. Specifically, what sorts of exercises/techniques would a guitarist use other than actually playing their guitar? If this is a ridiculous question, please forgive my ignorance.

[@ima4248]

@@JustIn-op6oy as a pianist, I can answer too. Literally just practicing. You need to slowly pick a pace with songs, going on with harder ones to develop technique. On my channel, it's mostly videos for fun and songs I played months ago, but progress is constant. Just never stop practicing and you can get good at everything. If you keep playing instruments for a long time, if you compare songs you picked up months ago and one you picked up last week, there would be a great difference.

[@SamSan2256]

Hey just so you know, it's an edited version of the song, the song is originally 7min long. But it was way too long for the common ppl so they cutted off the song to make it a 5min (wich is still long for a radio/video clip format) and made it more "explosive".

[@Darknight0781]

DO BATMETAL RETURNS. It's a Dethklok song that some animators made a video for and it's incredible.

[@ainadupuis2651]

Darknight0781 or Batmetal Forever.

[@Duane_Grabert]

Batmetal, batmetal returns, batmetal forever.

[@gurjotsingh1709]

MURMAIDER MURMAIDER MURMAIDER MURMAIDER MURMAIDER

[@tazzerdevil98]

Or just listen to all of dethklok

[@Darknight0781]

I was specifically thinking this video, because of the content of the video and I think his reaction to it would be glorious.

[@coreyandthecrew952]

an anthem that will stand the test of time. nothing but a solid banger. that's about all there is to say

[@proxy_tv_4309]

fun fact: imagine the guitar hero buttons. Now multiply them by 24 and add 3 times more notes for the whole track... That's how hard actually the song is to play on guitar

[@OtsegoKid]

Your face when the solo battle started was phenomenal and priceless. Mind blown indeed.

[@milanbrkic1001]

Atom Ogre Boatswain Mind melted as he said haahhaah

[@reinderp5967]

It's a great song, but this version is a bit shorter DragonForce fans are a bit divided because they changed singers. Haters claim they don't/can't play there own stuff live. Personally I really like the band, very talented and gives a lot of energy. If you want more, Ashes of the dawn, Cry Thunder, Fury of the storm, Operation ground and pound (live version!!!)

[@TheWiseGrif]

Reinderp The haters are referring to some technical glitches during a tour a decade ago and won't let it die even though there's now hundreds-thousands of videos proving they can play live thanks to youtube

[@TheWiseGrif]

I've seen them live in recent years, they are fully capable of playing their songs live

[@jackracette419]

Reinderp Marc Hudson > ZP Theart

[@timsmith618]

They used to suck ass live, but on the tour video from Japan recently, they crushed their whole set, including Fury of the Storm and TTFAF. I don't doubt that they wrote TTFAF well above their skill level at the time, but they've really grown into it. Unfortunately, they used such heavy effects on parts of the song on the album, they'll probably never recreate it perfectly live, but whatever. They're close enough that it doesn't really make that big a difference.

[@SirKaldar]

I've seen them live 4 times in Aus and they have been fucking amazing every time.

[@sodreir.8666]

When 6:40 hits, it’s like you’re parting the skies while shattering a star with your bare fists

[@Boarder4892]

Alex: “My brain just fucking melted” 😂😂

[@xXMetalforever1994Xx]

Children Of Bodom - In your face

[@imaretard6876]

MOAR POWER METAL! MOOOOAAAAR!!! Rhapsody, Helloween, Edguy, Powerwolf, Sonata Arctica... Just pick anybody.

[@TheComicBookJoker]

Please not Helloween. I do not like Kai’s singing voice. Any of these other options are fine by me, though.

[@dropdead___]

All of them, please!

[@insomniacryan9916]

I think my favorite moment was actually 4:52, when he gives Li that look of pure 'how dare you show off that hard.'

[@vladicatuna]

Korn - Daddy, for extra raw emotion

[@irishiron2151]

yes please

[@irishiron2151]

because hes singing about something traumatic...

[@billekeman5412]

A lot of people wouldn't be able to sing to their potential trying to sing about something that traumatic. That's what makes it so crazy.. real, raw emotion. The song isn't about singing well. Its about telling that story and getting it out.

[@dominikrusnak8431]

Bill Ekeman Hm

[@rasmuslassen6273]

Bill Ekeman, couldn't have said it any better dude!

[@KoRno21]

[@thefireofthefox1]

[@rodneysao]

Valley of the Damned is my favorite

[@davidprosen5637]

I had this as a favourite before. Beautiful song an VERY IMPRESSIVE guitarr solos not so many people can deliver! :-)

[@nekekaminger]

My thoughts watching the video: 3:05 - Oh boy, he'll be glad, he never got any further. 3:55 - Haha, wait till the REAL solo starts. 5:45 - Yeah, I guess his brain will just melt :D 7:30 - Uhm.. yeah xD

[@Pspet]

Insomnium - While we sleep Iced Earth - Dracula(live) Btw i knew you would be blown away by the solo XD

[@heleneberthels4629]

[@KingSilk33]

[@Precisionmetalheadx]

Insomnium -While we sleep OR Revelations would blow his mind. While we sleep for instruments and lyrically for Revelations.

[@pasoco93]

[@TheRiisingSun]

I'm both sad you haven't gotten to Judas Priest with Painkiller yet but also happy since it's still an experience you have waiting!

[@woodyburns]

TheRiisingSun I've been asking for that and Hangar 18 for a couple of weeks now

[@EnjoyingEnjoyer]

TheRiisingSun painkiller and lightning strike

[@XboxGaming3550SG]
