    I don’t listen to just one song or a few, I end up listening to everyone I got, or whole albums just from turning one on, and Dragonforce conquers everything else and ends many rock bands and its music or lyrics are like scripture, picture listening to or singing that in church instead.

    Their guitarist used to play in a nazi black metal band and seems pretty unapologetic about it, so I’d say if they get hate, it’s just karma

      Missing a word when you already understood…I don’t think it was doing the damage.

    Back when they first got really insanely famous due to Guitar Hero III, a lot of people thought their music was fake.

    They were called studioforce by guitarists who felt threatened by their inability to play TTFAF, and those same haters justified their hate by pointing out that the band themselves frequently couldn’t play it live.

    This was due in part to the band still having a janky live setup at the time, in part due to their singer not sounding as good live (when they switched singers to Mark it made a big difference for their live shows IMO), and of course because Sam and to a lesser extent Herman would drink excessively before playing a lot of nights, leading to lots of recordings of their sloppy drunk shredding being uploaded to YouTube.

    But mostly, I would argue, the hate came from people who dislike new things. They tried to invalidate the band’s obvious technical prowess as a way to disregard their (at the time) relatively innovative sounds.

    You see that a lot in the guitar community. Anything new or that doesn’t fit a traditional, pre-existing mold is dismissed as inferior. Anything non-traditional and obviously skillful tends to draw hate from those same people.

    Now that Dragonforce has been around for a good long while, the traditionalists have had time to adjust and Dragonforce has had their live act consistently together for well over a decade, the hate has largely died down.

    It also helps, IMO, that Herman Li does regular livestreams so people can see that he’s a relatively down to earth guy, especially for someone with a giant wall of guitars in his house and a collection of high end sports cars.

      I saw them live in the late 00’s at an open air festival, and it sounded like I was playing the track myself on guitar hero. Wasn’t super into them after seeing them live tbh, since it seemed fake from the live experience.

        So if they fuck it up live, they’re fake, but if they play it perfectly live, also fake.

        Play while under water in a swimming pool? Believe it or not, straight to jail.

        And to be clear, you can like or dislike them, not judging you, I just think it’s funny that people think they’re fake no matter what lol

    It’s anti semitic. Sometimes it was used to target certain people or free other ones that like it. They called it Catholic but it’s kind of not but sort of satanic but religious like mid evil England. Plus some people were still on acoustic or folk music and people just prefer the first music they’ve ever heard, some people liked slower music that didn’t energize but relaxed them. Some guys were like that. Cousin Monty/king Arthur hated it and also because he was possibly a plag or parasite because of death and magic or AM radio waves energizing dead bodies to come alive like zombies. He may have been killed by rabbits he may have shot and ate for many years before so antipsychotics bring him back from the dead but this time he and other people or animals were electrified and crawled out of the ground as zombies or they were alive and slightly decayed from damaged body parts with blood/flesh and were stuck in the ground from a collapse if the earth near buffalo probably because mining palladium took place there.

    Disease gets wiped out by the music and sound waves the heavy metal instruments produces.

    Palladium is abundant and it isn’t very strong but it was a catalyst used in chemistry. Those guitars and instruments even the drums were made out of solid palladium. A 4 thousand dollar guitar back then is equivalent to 40 or 400 thousand dollars today. Palladium cost around the price of gold. The metals make them sound different. Silver wasn’t good enough for them. A solid gold guitar would be quite desirable, but why use guitars and instruments because back then carbs were naturally abundant and no one who played one would stop playing it and they were safe as long as those guitars were sitting out on display. This is why rock music was frowned upon. Rockstars didn’t give a shit and eventually only cared about themself and maybe other people or maybe animals if any were left. Rockstars were use to this magical crazy shit going on and that’s also why they didn’t care about anything that existed after it all and it being called the future, they knew at some point it all had to happen again or someone didn’t know, that only stuff made out of palladium, silver, or gold was desirable.

    And where can you find palladium, in Buffalo New York (so get to Buffalo and rob them all and you can all make real heavy metal instruments) in the northern area around the bend and probably over in Canada, they got it all fenced or walled of and everyone/thing pushed forward of it, and that’s why there’s underground tunnels which were mining tunnels so other people or things started using them and calling their underground layer hell saying they spawn again after death, but that’s just where you all were at simulations when we hit rewind, the rewind function made it where they could make different choices to try and stay alive or do things differently. A simulation was just preparing yourself for something that will take place. It meant they froze the entire planets rotation to pretend they stopped time and did something.

    So simulations are actually fake and unplannable but gods mind made it possible for it all to happen, and parasites ruin everything and made the same or worse decisions or choices. Lucifer isn’t god I am, and Satan was just a slang term for angry or evil god. There is no Jesus or Christianity in that orthodox sense. And look at that you all ruined Christmas and new Jews because I had to tell you that. But it’s not your fault, you’re actually reading this or asked why dragon force is hated. It’s full electric anti parasite music, a Jew didn’t have to mean disease like bacteria, virus or parasite.

    Nothing is actually supposed to record anything and then be played, you just plan it out on your own mind, but you won’t always or even ever be successful. Death exists, but at one point we didn’t know if it did. Maybe everyone should study death. Who knows what went on decades ago.

    They only made stuff out of certain metals because stuff gets made out of other stuff at houses where it’s used so they used stuff made out of palladium because of the supply going down or they just stole palladium lakes/buckets that were used for chemistry to use them for water/farming and a guitar was made out of it.
