"Burning Starfire, shine in the sky for the lives of great men who stand by your side! When the night falls, on we will ride! For no lost souls will live on forever!" - from a different Dragonforce song.
He has been there a long time already...oxford masters degree this "new" one. I just saw they concratulations him like 10 years ago. So not really new singer but different from the video.
I like Marc more than ZP Theart actually! The band as a whole was a LOT worse back then as well, always drunk on stage and couldn’t really play their own songs! They’ve sounded really good ever since Marc joined as far as I know! Saw them live in 2017:)
There is nothing wrong with the 5 minute version...and it is the "official" version on their own youtube. But yes... the full song is 7 minutes long. One of the great things about the 5 minute video is the focus at one point in the song ... the focus on the 2 guitar solo's or I guess it's a guitar duo! It really showcases the shredding capabilities of both guitarists... so much so that most people usually overlook the insane keyboardist and drummer.
I will still have to check that one out then, even just on my own. 😊 I can understand that though cause until the end I almost overlooked the drummer and didn't even notice a keyboard player until a recommendation for the next video. 🫣
Been quite a while since I've heard this song. Yep, the fast guitars are their signature. LOVEBITES toured with them in 2019. You just listened to EPICA, their keyboardist Coen Janssen has been a DF touring member since 2018.
Dragonforce are from the UK... the band is essentially the 2 guitarists - Herman Li and Sam Totman... the singer in this concert was Marc Hudson, who replaced original singer Z.P. Theart (who sang the studio version of 'Through the fire and the flames' in 2005) Dragonforce benefitted from the popular video game 'Guitar Hero' and that pushed the sales of their 3rd album 'Inhuman rampage' past gold in the US (half million copies) w/ the album's 2nd single 'Operation Ground & Pound'... The band championed the power metal genre which has past fantasy and futuristic lyrics w/ high, melodic vocals and melodic lead guitars & double bass drumming ... Other bands from the genre include - Helloween ... Gamma Ray ... Stratovarius ... Primal Fear ... Rhapsody of Fire ... etc. Their 4th album 'Ultra beatdown' had a video game theme w/ the single 'Heroes of our time'... There were apparently problems w/ original singer Z.P. Theart and the decision was made to fire him in 2010... The 'Guitar Hero' game was discontinued and that affected Dragonforce's popularity. In 2012, Dragonforce announced a new album 'The Power within' and a new lead singer Marc Hudson... Their subsequent albums were not as popular but Dragonforce persisted recording and touring... Keyboardist Vadim Pruzhanov left the band in 2017 after recording their 7th album 'Reaching into infinity'... Dragonforce would play live w/ their keyboard parts pre-recorded without a live keyboard player. The most recent Dragonforce album 'Warp speed warriors' was released in 2024 and the band is currently on tour w/ current members Gee Anzalone (drums) and Alicia Vigil (bass) Some of the other songs by Dragonforce - 'Valley of the damned'... 'Fury of the storm'... 'Cry thunder' ... 'Doomsday party'... 🤘🤘🔥
Definitely check out more dragon force. “Heroes of our time“, “three hammers“, and “operation ground and Pound“ Are a few of my favorites, but pretty much anything dragon force comes up with is pretty damn good
Awesome reaction, when it comes to Dragonforce, I think that live versions are always better for reacting to. Some other awesome Dragonforce songs are: Cry Thunder Three Hammers Ashes of the Dawn Highway to oblivion Burning Heart
It was 2005 that I think I first heard of this song and got their album soon after. I think it was the first time I heard the term speed metal. Apparently, it was also on Guitar Hearo.
Hi Nikki, DragonForce are my happy music. I cannot help but smile with their insanely fast, melodic music, and fantasy driven lyrics. Here is a quick list off the top of my head. Operation Ground and Pound Fury of the Storm City of Gold Body Bteakdown Lost Souls in Endless Time Once in a Lifetime Dawn of a New Day Soldiers of the Wasteland Holding On Fallen World Cry Thunder 3 Hammer High Heart of the Storm Die by the Sword Last Man Stands Hero's of our Time I could go on an on. So many great songs. 🤘😎🤘
These guys are some of the fastest guitarists you've ever seen. They've influenced so many other bands in the power and thrash metal world. Please get back to Lovebites, the all-female power metal band from Japan. They toured with Dragonforce several years ago and are currently on a world tour. They have a new bassist and released a bunch of music this past year. Listen to their song The Hammer of Wrath from the Knockin at Heaven's Gate tour.
@@nikkireviews Oh I wasnt talking about you, I was talking about the singer of the band! :D Its like if the singer was giving a little speech, but the drummer would decide to show off couple of fills on top of it. You are absolutely not to blame, I wasnt talking about you :)
I believe it is, sadly to say. I know what you mean but it seems to be part of the live performance of that song. I've seen so many of their concerts live streamed during the last tour and it was pretty much standard to have the crowd making noise during the solo. I want to assume they're all fine with it or else he wouldn't do it.

I would actually recommend the official version for the first time. makes the fact that they do it again is crazy
"Burning Starfire, shine in the sky for the lives of great men who stand by your side! When the night falls, on we will ride! For no lost souls will live on forever!" - from a different Dragonforce song.
im pretty sure, 99% sure, this live version is with the singer that replaced the original lead vocalist.... the music video has the OG lead vocalist
Ooh okay, I wasn't sure about that!
He has been there a long time already...oxford masters degree this "new" one. I just saw they concratulations him like 10 years ago. So not really new singer but different from the video.

Definitely check out more dragon force. “Heroes of our time“, “three hammers“, and “operation ground and Pound“ Are a few of my favorites, but pretty much anything dragon force comes up with is pretty damn good
I recommend their song Three Hammers live! It has everything, solos, fast riffs, good melody, tempo changes! Really underated song imo!
Yes this was also my first time seeing this band.The very active guitar playing and double kick drumming very impressive. 🤘 🔥
Next = Fury of the Storm please

Cry Thunder
Three Hammers
Ashes of the Dawn
Highway to oblivion
Burning Heart
Herman Li killed it in this solo! They will play here in São Paulo, at Knotfest

I dont know if that was planned, but shouting over a solo is the first no no in my book...
Definitely not planned. I just wasn't sure when to talk - like I said the whole song felt like a solo to me. 😂🙈 But I apologize.
