    Saw them live about 15 years ago. I remember having my mind blown by them having an intermission where both guitar players, the bassist, and the keyboardist(w/key-tar) all stood in a circle. One hand playing the neck of their instrument while simultaneously playing the bottom half of the instrument next to them.... ALL IN A CIRCLE... 3 MINUTE SOLO.
    It was absolutely nuts.

    Just listening to the song is a cardio workout.

    Dragonforce is definitely one of the most talented bands with incredibly talented musicians.
    The female equivalent would be Lovebites out of Japan. They actually toured with Dragonforce in 2019.
    If you want to be impressed, check out Swan Song with [Chopin Intro]. You might have to go to their site to find it; but, its 100% impressive.
    As always, stay happy healthy and safe. Enjoy.

    Herman li said in an interview that the final take they ended up using of the final solo his string snapped and they kept it because it made a weird noise and they could never recreate the sound cause he would have to try and play so hard his string snapped, though herman said he has always tried every time to really stress the string at the end

He said this is the best cover of their song he's seen. At the age of 15 she is a guitar goddess! Gone for now as she is in college. Watching her is like going to an revival meeting, they both want to make you stand up and yell "JESUS!"

    This is the kind of reaction I expect when someone listens to the song for the first time and you don't even have to be a music expert to realize this is one crazy solo, it would be interesting to count how many notes they hit in this solo has, let alone the whole song, and this is not even the full solo because the original one is way longer and the full song is about 7:20 - 7:30 some like that... anyway just a crazy idea, be good guys and greetings from Guatemala-.

Or music video wise , operation ground and pound is hella epic too and heroes of our time . They also have a new singer if you want to check some of his stuff out like Three Hammers , The Game , . If you don't care about music vids, definitely check Storming the burning fields , EPM , Lost Souls in endless time , those are some with the og singer . The new singer Marc , recommend Fallen World , Give me the night , Cosmic power of the infinite shred machine, Tomorrow's kings , just so many good ones lol have all the album's and it's hard to pick

    There is something very similar to DragonForce.....but with a twist. I think you both would like it. The group is called Lovebites. The song is "When Destinies Align." They are an all female Japanese power metal band. They sound like a mix between DragonForce and Iron Maiden. Their guitarist are every bit as good as the guys from DragonForce. The look like beautiful princesses....but then they kick your @$$ with great music. True girl power at it's best.
