Hip-Hop Head's FIRST TIME Hearing DRAGONFORCE: "Through The Fire And Flames" REACTION

[@evanspage5]

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.

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.

[@dominikrusnak8431]

Bill Ekeman Hm

[@rasmuslassen6273]

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

[@andramaulana8015]

Herman Li is so good he even gave a closeup of his solo knowing not that many people can copy it...

[@pasoco93]

Trivium - down from the sky

[@BucsFanO22]

Been requesting this and Shogun for months now. Hopefully this happens.

[@afscrew123]

down from the sky is so sick

[@ezzyMunero90]

....and Throes of Perdition

[@nightfall88]

Nightwish - "Ghost Love Score" You'll love it :)

[@Kuruyami]

Nightwish has a lot of phenomenal pieces (Ghost Love Score, Poet and the Pendulum, Song of Myself, Last Ride of the Day, Planet Hell). However, no matter what song, it is best to go to one of the live recordings with Tarja or Floor over the studio imo. Nightwish's sound is so great live.

[@MrAlexgtz]

I absolutely Love the Live Version with Floor Jansen ...Goosebumps

[@TheSweBoo]

Live version too! :D

[@nightfall88]

I agree, I would recommend something off Wacken 2013 of Vehicle of Spirit, or Wembley but either way, I just forgot to mention the "Live part" in the comment.

[@615Deathdealer]

Panic attack Dream Theater bro trust me

[@DookieDodger9953]

615Deathdealer and pull me under just cause its awesome lol

[@ordinaryguy4737]

615Deathdealer The Best Of Times is awesome too!!

[@helltioeverygames]

I cry everytime i hear this song,EPIC.

[@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.

[@paok4ever1926]

Steve Vai - tender surrender

[@smososoms]

Steve Vai- BAD HORSIE!!!!

[@Pattorihanzo]

Yeah....Steve’s unbelievable solo in that song and the building of the song just blows me away.

[@BobRobie1]

Metallica Blackend

[@Siendorf]

Bob Votava love blackened!! Top 5 song from Metallica

[@highfreddy635]

Bob Votava hell yea

[@somethingfierce8859]

Live from Seattle 89

[@lafocacomepinguinos8006]

Bob Votava Blackened***

[@sean93956]

Never really a Dragonforce fan but this song is an absolute masterpiece. Everything about it is epic in any genre of music. The vocals, guitar and drums are just out of this world. Bravo 👏

[@madstanguitars]

dude, you should also see their song Heroes of our Time

[@Kiromony]

cry for eternity too

[@GraveMemories]

Carlo L great song!

[@baseballnathan97]

I like Operation Ground & Pound better

[@Moribax85]

i would suggest Trail of Broken Hearts for a fantastic Power Ballad

[@ADMDanDringle]

Bruh. Fury of the storm.

[@mattdoesstuff8987]

Can they play Smoke On The Water though?

[@TheNightOwlKS]

They covered Johnny Cash's "Ring Of Fire". God only knows what they would do to Smoke On The Water

[@KingGrim19XX]

Probably, most likely the entire song in les then a minute

[@TheNightOwlKS]

@@KingGrim19XX 3 minutes 13 seconds to be exact. They have to throw a guitar instrumental section in there. It is Dragonforce after all - kzbin.info/www/bejne/onWYcpR5gNSqY68

[@haffikaffi1019]

But what about slow ride on easy?

[@manaskulkarni3117]

Can they play Wonderwall though?

[@Geeko170]

Power metal. The greatest of all metal. Makes you wanna pick up a mighty axe and slay dragons!!!

[@isaiah1660]

Geeko170 these guys definitely slayed with their axes tho :))

[@SylviusTheMad]

If you keep saying things like that he might react to Gloryhammer. I'm not sure how that would go.

[@GamerPlaying]

this song its more speed metal

[@threeglassjars6051]

EspacioGamer Zero it's both power metal and speed metal

[@sopwithsnoopy8779]

Makes you want to pick up a mighty axe and slay dragons, while riding your unicorn... :)

[@johmbon]

3:17 I don't listen to any metal song or instrumental, never did, BUT Dragonforce TTFAF was the one and only exception, it's wonderful 🔥🔥

[@Mordred8625]

Blind Guardian - Mirror Mirror

[@GeoBize]

And then there was silence... or Imaginations from the otherside

[@AnthemOfChaos289]

Mannox86 man haven't listened to BG IN AGES. thanks for suggesting it :D

[@iBoss818]

On the wall

[@KamikazeWeed]

OMG YEEES HE GOTTA DO IT !

[@jaydee1982.1]

But a live performance - Blind Guardian is, unlike dragonforce, actually able to play all songs live ;)

[@DiegoDeschain]

You have to listen to Dream Theater!!! People who haven't actually delved into their discography will tell you to start with The Dance of Eternity, As I Am, Panic Attack, etc, but you have to go to the really good stuff: Take the Time Under a Glass Moon (one the best and most iconic Petrucci's solo) Learning to Live 6:00 (yup, that's the name of the song) Voices (one of the best if not the best Petrucci solo) Scarred A Change of Seasons (I promise you this will be a life changing experience) Hell's Kitchen / Lines in The Sand (another strong candidate for best Petrucci solo) Fatal tragedy Beyond This Life Home The Spirit Carries On The Glass Prison The Great Debate Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence (a 42 mins suite split into 8 songs) This Dying Soul Stream of Consciousness In the Name of God Octavarium In the Presence of Enemies Pts. 1 and 2 Constant Motion The Dark Eternal Night The Ministry of Lost Souls A Nightmare to Remember The Shattered Fortress The Count of Tuscany Lost Not Forgotten Breaking All Illusions Illumination Theory A New Beginning Our New World

[@andrewcook6608]

Yeah, just do all of Dream Theater. :)

[@ilokikoval]

A lot of first songs are not suitable for prog virgin,lmao. Awesome list tho

[@groggyfroggyfpv6868]

Dark eternal night is dope af

[@DiegoDeschain]

hahahahahahaha I should've been more clear. I meant like, those in the list would be all good choices, I obviously didn't expect Alex to do them all xD

[@piercewilkins8625]

Cloud connected in flames please

[@genarogilormino2139]

Next level band, I truly dont know how the fuck they play that beautiful and that fast, it's like at the speed of light 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@Lutawhuiklik]

Sabaton - 40:1 please ;) And you if like Dragonforce you have to listen to Avantasia band!

[@dradvrim1]

Kemal T Personally I really like Ruina Imperii

[@TheSsj5BROLY]

Lutawhuiklik My favorite imo is Wehrmacht but 40:1 is awesome aswell.

[@dradvrim1]

LuftWaffles99 Wehrmacht is pretty awesome, my third favorite. Ruina imperii is my second favorite, and 7734 is my favorite.

[@Imperial_ID]

For Sabaton I'd say as a first time react Carolus Rex, Primo Victoria, or Screaming Eagles would be the best songs. But in all reality any sabaton song would be great.

[@spaceducc3471]

"My brain is ... fucking melted." And he didn't even hear the full version.

[@nickdrage5774]

Rob Zombie - Dragula

[@ranwolf1240]

You can practically see Alex's brain dripping out of his ears during the solo ^_^

[@wallybong]

A Day To Remember - Mr.Highway’s Thinking About the End.

[@metallifan561991]

Upon A Burning Body - Texas Blood Money

[@jhinojosa7070]

Brandon Korous fuck yeah 🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾

[@UltraViolent21]

Or BMF

[@otoad20]

Those guitarists have never not gotten a woman off with their fingers

[@chrisolive464]

A woman wouldn't SURVIVE those fingers. She would literally catch fire.....

[@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

[@Joshb6498]

Mastodon- Blood and Thunder

[@vegasviking86]

Fun fact: every member of Dragonforce is from a different country

[@ShinKyuubi]

Another good Dragonforce song is Land Where Dragons Rule and it's actually the very first one I head, my little brother, who is a huge metal head, let me hear it once and told me the band name and I got to looking around for them and that's how I found Dragonforce and their awesome music...and even more awesome shreds. Also when I say my little bro is a metal head..I mean he listens to pretty much any type of metal music..heavy, grunge, growl, screamo..if it's metal he's probably listened to at least one song from each type.

[@thehunter7422]

ShinKyuubi *Where Dragons Rule Theres No Land. The singer says it but there's no land in the title .

[@admin.slayerenryu]

Also Cry Thunder

[@fungusbobmoldpants2781]

Valley of the damned is a great album 🤘

[@TH3_T3RM1N4T0R]

And the lyrics are actually pretty fucking dope.
