People don’t understand how much joy power metal can bring your life.

[@steveloat8891]

Everyone talks about the guitarists, but how about the drummer?!

THANK YOU! While we were recording this I was air drumming the whole time. -The Video Editor

200 beats per minute (according to google most dragonforce songs are at this bpm fastest being 240), how can that guy still walk after a set?

Oh hell yes! The best single from an EPIC Power Metal band 🤘

amazing drummer...... amazing bassist...... amazing duel guitarists

Dragonforce… brought to you by head and shoulders lol… Herman is also a KZbinr and he has a pedal that turns a fan on the blow his hair around lol

[@thebenis3219]

This band is 80% hair and 20% Dungeons and Dragons

[@JasonTurner-uk9rk]

Don’t forget the 10% video games…. But at least they are giving 110% 😂

[@ImminDragon]

HermanLi is his name on Twitch, where he sometimes streams his guitar practice. It's really funny when people show up like "You're too good for this, why aren't you in a real band?"

[@fgaitanm]

THE DOOOOOOOOOOO

[@kaylzshter6153]

he's also one of the most approachable celebs out there, Herman is all about fan interaction. For being one of the best guitarists ever, the man is super easy to talk to

[@Itsthatoneguy371]

I absolutely love how you use metal and therapy together. I love you find a way to show a positive path with metal and it not just an escape for anger,but it can be a positive place for growth . When it is an escape for anger and a positive way to process the anger and possible pain that you are feeling, you’d know you are not alone. Metal is an expression and if your ear is tuned in to it you will hear the cry’s of the of the people asking for help. . (;)

[@HeartSupport]

Thank you so much! so glad you're here :) - T

[@TBOEnt3rtainment]

On the 7 minute version of this song, there is a great line and it says “now here we stand with our blood on our hands, we fought so hard now can we understand. I’ll break the seed of this curse if I possibly can, for freedom of every men”

[@K-11609]

Isn’t it “seal of this curse” ?

[@vegasviking86]

Their live show are sooo much fun. During one of the intermissions, both guitar players, the bassist, and keyboardist(with key-tar) all hopped up on a big soap box and stood in a circle facing inward... and then proceeded to not only play their instrument in hand but also play the lower half of the instrument next to them. MIND BLOWN.

[@MultiAsh93]

When I was at a live show in Manchester back in 2019, Marc and Sam were playing guitar together and they played the boss theme of Final Fantasy 7, it was incredible!

Ok so now your adding another complications to a song that at first went along great for our d&d group. Being a veteran and ptsd.... recipient. Dragonforce is really an amazing band. Thanks

[@MissFroglover]

Love it! 😃 And they sound exactly the same live 😃That's fire!🤘

[@johnthompson6374]

Find 15 year old Tina S playing this while chewing bubble gum, she even blew Herman away. Peace/JT

[@chrispatten943]

Facts❤

[@zeroreyortsed3624]

Yeah. Herman's reaction was great😊. However, her cover of moonlight sonata makes "through the fire and flames" look like child's play. 😅

[@Jota666]

How sad that a cover surprises you more than the original song, there are 5-year-old children creating classic pieces and I don't see you talking about that, but you see a cover of and you go crazy, it makes you sad

[@johnthompson6374]

@@Jota666 Here you are failing to mention the atrocities in Sudan. Do you even care about black people?

[@craigsovilla6578]

It's amazing talent for such a young age, but let's not delude ourselves. Herman wrote the song for crying outloud.

[@MultiAsh93]

I got to see these guys live a few years ago and they were just as amazing! I got to meet Marc who is the lead singer now, if you want to listen to more I highly recommend listening to Fury of the Storm live and Heroes of our time, I genuinely love watching people react to DragonForce for the first time😊

[@JasonTurner-uk9rk]

Also a funny video of Herman Li snapping a 5000 $ guitar In half live on stage pulling off that knee drop move 😂

[@tylerhelm7902]

I call that move the Stringbreaker Special.

[@Loneslol]

He didnt broke a string, he broke the whole guitar​@@tylerhelm7902

[@rcsskier]

I saw these guys in a smallish venue in Minneapolis after this album came out. I was second row, in front of the amp stacks. The show slapped so hard, and when I got back to my car to rock out some more, my speakers seemed messed up, like someone blew em out. Nope, I just messed up my hearing for the next three days 😂 I now rock earplugs for every show 🎉

[@billbaggins7355]

"There's not a good place to stop." You don't stop Dragonforce.

[@timsloan9675]

Whole band is CRIMINALLY underrated

[@AdSprad]

I frequently reflect on two quotes. One is by Teddy Roosevelt "The Man in the Arena" The other is Winston Churchill "If you're going through hell, keep going!" ... So sometimes I have to tell my self 'rip off the bandaid' knowing it will hurt to face, but facing the pain now will be easier than letting the pain or issue linger, or worse burying it to appear later/fester/worsten. Or if in trouble, don't stop amidst the trouble, but push forward and then slow once on the other side of danger.

[@DarkSkyWings]

I don't usually listen at the end review for more info but I'm glad I did. I have been a power metal listener since im 13 yrs old, always felt a special connection to this music and never understood why. Every event in my life, heartbreaks, at work, losing friends, deaths I had 1 solutions. Pedal to the metal and move on, from my 16 to now (mid thirties), I have stopped for nothing and no one except close family. It all clicked. It's gonna be a lot of work because all I did for 20 years is going faster and faster but thank you for those words. I think i needed that.

[@xBLiiDz]

The intro alone made me a new subscriber. Love this.

Update: I was already subbed.

[@gaunterodimm8764]

Love that you are loving DF. I’ve been listening to them a little short of 20 years. One note tho: before reacting to songs please make sure you react to the full version. This song is legendary but this is a cut version. And to me it feels like a castrated version, I mean it’s the same song at the end of the day but it misses an important part. Cheers tho!

[@Redneck_Outdoors23]

Fun fact: that ping you hear at the end is a string breaking on Li’s guitar

[@kariheinrichs1559]

I love that you’re listening to Hero Metal. Makes me wish I had an emotional support sword.

Love Dragonforce. Another song that always gets me fired up during a workout, is "I don't fear you" with Arion. Would be interesting to hear your thoughts about their lyrics.

[@blessjesus-o2b]

Beast in black - blind and frozen

[@jamescurfman3284]

Not just one but TWO of the fastest-fingered guitarists in the world, and they each take breaks during the song to let the other shine (then they work together). The singer takes breaks during the song because this number is instrument-heavy (as are a lot of their songs). The Keyboardist does not take a break throughout the song, always has something going on. THE DRUMMER, though...talk about having your work load cut out for you! This is the SHORT version of the song! Imagine being the drummer for a solid 7+ minutes on THIS SONG ALONE, along with the rest of the concert... Dude is a MACHINE.

[@Mange4]

when I was younger, I felt a lot of neg. feelings.. like depression. after being bullied in school for example. but I always had one thing keeping me going.. "what if the next day will be better? what if everything changes tomorrow?" so I lived to see what next morning would bring.. and I'm still here. that little hope, possibility, of a better life made me keep going.. later found out I have/had persistent depressive disorder. it can be hard but I have tools now to cope with it.. :)

[@timbrawdy2249]

To me this is the best metal song created. Vocals flawless, guitar shreds, drums perfect. Hype factor 100%.

[@bl3993]

I have always suspected that this song was written to be three times longer, but the producer told them to cut it or it wouldn't fit on the album. Instead of cutting it they said screw it and instead sped up to blistering levels. I have no evidence of this, but will always assume it to be true.

[@seanbarker4610]

The Video version is a full two minutes shorter than the album version

[@Patterner]

that's similar to what they said about Focus「Hocus Pocus」:)

[@RogueStatusX]

This is actually the short version of the song 😂

[@christophersmith210]

i have a history of concussions; im at risk to develop CTE; i have already had CTE Symptoms; behavioral changes, mood swings, memory loss, muscle weakness, headaches, permanent nerve damage. im still alive and able to live my best life but i have to accept that my history of concussions effects every day of my life, its challenging but i once survived being dead for 2 minutes in 2012, so me being alive again is the greatest blessing; thanks for your videos and keep fighting.

[@nachtactual]

Aquiles Priester's drum cover of this (he filled in as the drummer for a bit) is metal af. Should check it out.

[@Gecko-Steve]

I remember seeing them at the Download Festival years ago. Instead of a speed pit, they told everyone to run in a circle as slow as they could to this song. Funniest thing i ever did 😁

[@vegasviking86]

And this was the short version lol

[@mariothane8754]

This song is the soundtrack of a hard fought victory. The belief that there is happiness at the end, and we need to face the evils of the day to reach that happiness.

Herman Li is a pretty cool guy. Has done a lot of videos and streaming content and even some reactions.

[@thecanuck1234567]

Keep moving forward,,

[@Thomohawk21]

Love it Taylor! Never would have expected you to cover something like Dragonforce. I'm very pleasently surprised and at the same time not surprised at how good your analysis was. Spot on and a joy to watch and listen as always. Quick fun fact about this song: at the end while recording, Herman Li did a whammy bar pull and you can hear that the string actually broke. The guys were like "hell yeah, it sounds cool! Let's just leave it in." A string break in a song... sick! 😜

[@MrDempmeister]

I love this concept of yours! I struggle alot with my mental health and I love metal. So this is a perfect fit for me. I suggest that you take a look at Nightwish and specifically the song “The last ride of the day”. All of their lyrics are deep and meaningful but this one is perfect for your theme.

Highly recommend Bloodywood "Jee Veerey" ...I think as a therapist you'd find a lot to talk about with that song.

[@sarahtahere8996]

I don’t usually comment but could you please have a listen to Seasons by Dragonforce. It’s my hopeful song. It helps me remember that no pain will last forever. Loving this channel! Thank you so much Taylor and team! 🤘

[@gkdaniels1]

Definitely check out “Three hammers” by DragonForce. It’s a very triumphant song, about overcoming adversity. Plus, it’s a really good song

[@oldwolflogan4224]

So, 1.) Lead guitarist Herman Li had to get a custom made guitar so that he could more easily reach the highest frets on his guitar. 2.) A couple other songs I think you should check out are Heroes of Our Time and the band's cover of My Heart Will Go On (yes, you read that right)

[@obiscygma]

Would love to see you react to "Eyes Of A Stranger" by Queensryche... 1). it deals with issues of mental illness 2). it's a straight-up VOCAL CLINIC, and 3). the whole track is an absolute fuckin BANGER.

Saw Dragonforce a few weeks ago, opening for Dethklok...Dragonforce absolutely stole the show with how awesome their performance was

please go and watch the guitarist break down the song and watch him play it without the rest of the band. it will blow you away. The guitarist Herman li watches people record themselves playing this song and encourages them.

[@toomasargel8503]

04:21 You make disco dance moves. That song is power metal genre.. !!!!!!

The focus on this song usually is on what the guitarists are doing. (And they are incredible), but the drummer is often overlooked. To get an idea of what he is doing check out Junna's drum cover of this song. kzbin.info/www/bejne/i3zVYntqf9tpn9U it is absolutely amazing and the joy on her face is contagious. She also does an amazing cover of ashes of the dawn kzbin.info/www/bejne/qHOzm6KEr9ukmac

[@thehermitwizard]

If we're dabbling into the world of power metal, I'd be remiss to not suggest Blind Guardian. The Bards Song and Valhalla are their two most popular songs, but there's a lot of stuff to dig into.

[@JamesVestal-dz5qm]

I think my score was like 621K on this in guitar hero on expert. I remember 567K was the 5 star cut off. I had friends on runescape who were in the 760K or 770K range. I got over 600 once I stopped wasting star power on the solo, and I think for the 760 or 770 he learned to FC the red snake with star power.

[@moviereviews4life]

What sucks for all those who listen to this version first is you miss the true power of the song in it's original length. Yes the majority of the guitar play is here but man is the full song great. Take a listen when you have time
