0:50 Power Metal is Metal music with emphasis on fantasy themes, heroism, symphonic (symphonic power metal) music, choir sounds, etc. It pretty much began with Helloween back in the 60s? Dragonforce is among the most iconic names in the genre. Some notable examples include: Sabaton (another iconic band whose theme is WWI.....no seriously) Powerwolf (Werewolves during the Crucades), Elvenking (druidic sort of themes), and more.
I think Sabaton's style is better described as "military history" rather than WW1 in general. To me they seem more like modern Bard's, singing the tales of heroism in war across centuries
If you ask some sort of music snob, they'll give you a long and boring definition about the differences between all the different types of metal including power metal. All you really need to know, is that power metal should make you feel like you can go slay a fucking dragon. Upbeat, intense, and inspiring.
EXACTLY!!!!! i hate those so-called ¨purists¨ who have to explain every single difference between metal music. most of us dont really give a shit. we just wanna enjoy some badass music! just that simple.
@@evilmessiah81 Oh how I remember my fingers cramping up -BUT I DEFEATED THAT BOSS.... sad part is that it was set on easy.. I could only imagine that song on expert mode... but then again the expert settings on guitar hero would be childplay next to the real guitar. It's so damn impressive how these guys can play like this.
Just watch his brain explode when he realizes the song is actually longer with more solos in the original version. Also look up the version with Marc Hudson
In the studio version, that solo was a lot longer than you heard. They cut out like a minute of the solo so the music video wouldn't run too long. The song is actually 7+ minutes long.
OKAY THANK YOU!!! The technical precision that DragonForce has is beyond most ppl. When this shit dropped in like 05 everyone geeked TF OUT WE WATCHED THIS SHIT FOR HOURS BECAUSE YOU SHOULDN'T BE ABOUT TO DO THIS. Also, Power metal is basically lord of the rings lyrics, shit is all about like fantasy and shit. So contextually, all the songs come from like a place of medieval battles and shit. I GOT HELLA STORIES ABOUT DRAGON FORCE THEY ARE SO FUCKIN LEGIT!!!!!!!!
The best way to appreciate power metal is to lose yourself in it. Sit back, close your eyes, and let the song create that fantasy. Let that mind go wild as they help you make a grand tale with your own imagination. And yes, head banging is encouraged.
Your involvement as viewers of this video is determined by only one criterion - whether you notice during Herman's solo the fact that Sam drinks beer. You followed the solo. You deserve a like bruh!
When one rapper goes after the other off each other, or in this case when a guitar goes off another it's called "call and response". It's a hallmark of American music and is one thing that really permeates all American genres from bluegrass to hip hop to big band. It's pretty much been adooted by the world now, but it's always been a corner stone of American music since before American independence. It was black Americans who brought this particular mix-in to our melting pot and the popularity of the format permeated throughout all American music, and then the whole world's music. The lineage of those guitars, or those rappers playing off one another has deep, deep roots in this country.
Them guitar solos hit different being older I listen to all types of shit but there’s a game called Guitar hero and that shit got me into the whole rock n roll / metal … good reaction bro 💪
DragonForce are absolutely fantastic! I saw them live back in 2019! If you want to listen to more I highly suggest Fury of the storm live, if you think this was crazy wait till you see Fury of the storm and a live version your mind will explode
Dont worry about the lyrics, dragonforce lyrics notoriuosly dont make sense and is all about super fantastical role play (which is cool too, but you dont need to go deep into the lyrics) haha.
You need to listen to Opeth bro. They play just about all styles of complicated heavier music. Growl,clean vocals and amazing transisions all over. They are absolutley crazy good.
I'll suggest another type of Metal music RUclips search "Paint It Black (metal cover by Leo Moracchioli)" When he interviewed for a gig and was asked what interment do you play his answer was "YES!" Now you need to look it up and react to it to see what I am talking about. (BTW that's my Grandpa in the photo on the left) Peace
power metal is a subgenre of metal one defined by guitar solos and fast paced music and I've heard Dragonforce be described a s a bunch of guitar solos gaining sentience and forming a band To be fair power metal is not my go to choice for metal music (Folk metal is my poison [bands like Arka'n Asrafokor, Bloodywood, Al namrood, ...]) but I do gotta give credit where credit is due. Dragonforce is awesome... also a good introduction to metal
Metal comes from Mozart, Bethoven and all those classic musics player. The structure of the song is the same. It's nice to see rap fans appreciate our metalhead musics. Keep rockin "nigga" 🙂🤘
You need to react to this next: ruclips.net/video/mIpHZo7BsT8/видео.html Eddie Van Halen influenced so many guitarists and had such a different style in the 80's from any other guitarist.
LOL One piece of advice for reacting to Rock/Metal/Thrash/Speedmetal Videos. NEVER PAUSE THE VIDEO DURING A GUITAR SOLO! 😆 I do like your energy though. You are forgiven ............ THIS TIME!
It's never too late to learn. Go hit your local pawn shop. buy the cheapest guitar they have. watch youtube lessons til you have the basics down. as you progress, buy better guitars.
The girls love the guitar players the most cause they know how to move those fingers. Fun Fact! Lol Words straight from my exs mouth when I asked. That is what made the relationship last as long as it did is we could ask anything and get a pure response. Then she got loose. I feel the same about Rap! I love the beat but do not understand the lyrics. I understand them but I am not a Victim by Choice so they do not resonate with me. They used to in the 80s and 90s. This new shit is Destructive and sad weak individuals trying to be hard! I am not trying to disrespect anyone but rap has gone in a different direction into a dark path and teaching the youth that is Acceptable behavior! Rock and rock maybe dark and heavy like slipknot but the moral of the song is pure and typically dealing with and overcoming personal Demons. While rap today is all about creating Demons and talking down about women and races! Truly been taken over by the M&Ms of the world Rapping About Killing Mom and what not. Gangs and Criminals are Not Okay or Cool to Admire and Prospire to be. How is Rap Positive Today??? Look up Tool, Slipknot, Pantera, Sublime! Rock genres and many songs talking about Reality and How To Rise Above Not Pull People Into It!!! Rap Is Crap!!! You okay calling your daughter a bitch or hoe??? You are Presenting Your Life in Your Music! Whether you make it or Fund It By Listening to that Nonsense!!! When you listen to a rock song it is told as a movie! You listen to rap it is I'm better than you if you think not test me. Go to prison and deal with your BS! We don't need you in Our World!!! You Obviously in your own so Go Away!!! Wanna make your own rules in life and run across this white boy and I will not stop when I vent you! I move on to Everyone You Know cause they think similar and need to go before this happens again! Cops have been defended! Street Rules Actually Apply Today and Yall Know ZERO ABOUT THE REAL STREETS! About to get a hint!!! I have not called cops in over a decade and I am Law Abiding! I deal with my issues Myself! No Consequenses Ever!!! One thing I saw a Big Brother say on TicToc! He said he had some Black Young Boy like yourself call him a Nigger like you guys say refering to a friend. He broke that shit down and said I Refuse to let Anyone Call Me A Nigger Again! Yall little boys need to read my comment above and get a clue. Your rap culture is a fad like the Trans shit. Rap already getting canceled by your own side Demoncraps. Grow Up Dude. You talk like you are 15 and likely nearing 30 living at home!!! You want people to stop thinking of you as niggers than stop refering to each other as one. Your Logic Is Obviously Flawed and you need to Look at yourself as part of the problem. Non of us are perfect but you drop N bombs like I do F bombs in Construction but the N Bomb holds a real meaning we need to get away from refering to each other as to get over your victim shit! Lol Logic is Not With This One! Well I tried but like the old saying goes! You Cannot Fix Stupid!!! Sorry I Tried to Apply A Tiny Bit Of Fact And Logical Thinking Into Your Life. Lol
"Hopefully, we can expect some guitar solos."
Oh, sweet summer child.
This song is *”TWO”* 7 and a half minute long guitar solos
All the time he was talking about how awesome the guitars were, literally the whole video up until the solo section I was like "YOU JUST WAIT" 🤣
O mine
🤣🤣 he didnt know what was coming
Has anyone told him of Free Bird...??
Power metal is when the guitar doesn't need electricity, They shred so God damn hard it generates it
Technically an electric guitar with passive pickups does generate its own electricity.
the lead guitarist is actually one of the fastest playing individuals on the planet.
Herman is also just a joy to watch, cos you can tell he's having the most fun. The man just loves playing guitar.
That drummer earned his money that day. Insanity
them calvs are on fire
Endurance ole boy don't take a break
Ate his Wheaties, fo sho
Cardio like Bones Jones man
He has to load up on carbs for a live show probably lol
Mad respect on crossing cultures, bruh. Appreciation is so important. The world needs more of this. Preach on, brother. All love.

Drayboe: watch him playing the guitar!
Me (grabbing popcorn): just wait for it.
yeah the solo is comming
My dude was expecting "some" guitar solos xD

DAT FUKKN PART
YES

This song sounds like boss battle music for an 80's side scroller
Imagine how goated that game would be today if this was actually the soundtrack
it was actually the boss level on a guitar hero part for the play station
It sounds like anime OP to me
@@evilmessiah81 PS, xbox, and wii

LISTEN TO THIS NIGGAH PLAY THE GUITAR!!! : Things that were never said about Dragonforce before This video was made 😂😂😂😂
Honestly, the swapping bars for rap is a decent analogy for the guitar battle in this song
In the studio version, that solo was a lot longer than you heard. They cut out like a minute of the solo so the music video wouldn't run too long. The song is actually 7+ minutes long.
Respect…you appreciate the effort it takes to play this type of music
You weren't ready man, these guys really got me motivated through the late 2000's with their Power Metal

As a person that grew up with this song, i am very happy that others are enjoying it now
Subtitles are necessary for even the best metal songs in the non growl/scream catagories. TOOL is a legend for this necessity
Dio was always pretty clear with his lyrics, very rarely did he have a lyric you couldn't understand and in most of those cases it was intentional.
One of the guitarists is Herman Li. Go follow his RUclips channel.
Also, you should check out the full version of this song.
Producer: "How many guitar solos in this one?"
Dragonforce: "Yes."
I've heard Dragonforce described as a bunch of guitar solos pretending to be a band
@@PeoplecallmeLucifer facts
"Oh hell nawl they rapping bout some dark ass shit! "🤣🤣🤣

Lol glad you enjoyed the music. It great how the love of music can bring ppl together

They aren't singing about dark shit their genre is pretty based off of like old time folk lore and mid evil times.
Their power metal
@@dailehughes3330 exactly
Dude this reaction is peak entertainment 😂
Loved your reaction dude! These guys are fucking insane lol. Keep it up my man
One of the best honest reaction this was great.
Them guitar solos hit different being older I listen to all types of shit but there’s a game called Guitar hero and that shit got me into the whole rock n roll / metal … good reaction bro 💪
"What the fuck!"
lol love your reaction bro
If you didn't know, Herman Li (the asian lead guitarist) streams on twitch.
Welcome to my world. A world of DragonForce everywhere. Not exactly everywhere but mostly.
5:59 There's nothing quite like a good divebomb, man. It's like drinking a great soda through a straw, and then you get a surprise hit of THC.
DragonForce are absolutely fantastic! I saw them live back in 2019! If you want to listen to more I highly suggest Fury of the storm live, if you think this was crazy wait till you see Fury of the storm and a live version your mind will explode
You: Listen to this solo!!! OMG!
Me: Oh sweet summer child.. that's breakfast. Just wait for supper. :D
Dont worry about the lyrics, dragonforce lyrics notoriuosly dont make sense and is all about super fantastical role play (which is cool too, but you dont need to go deep into the lyrics) haha.
My dude, you didn't get the full song! Gotta check the long version!
5:23... All I am thinking is he's about to melt your face
9:25 the man was too stunned to speak
What you were trying to explain about hip-hop kinda reminds me of Run D.M.C. :P
I like your Bumblebee shirt :)
Imo Herman Li is one of the most amazing guitarists on the planet, dude is crazy with strings
He’s like if Tom morello, dimebag darrel,slash,and kirk Hammett had a kid
@@jaimegarcia2930 you aint lyin tho
Blows me away every time.
For real tho, if you haven't already, you need to listen to the whole album version. Keep rocking, my dude 🤘
My man talkin about guitar solos, sorry im late but im here now, love the channel, subbed
You need to listen to Opeth bro. They play just about all styles of complicated heavier music. Growl,clean vocals and amazing transisions all over. They are absolutley crazy good.
About 3 minutes into the album version they blow a string and keep going
just a side-note, E-drums like rock band or guitar hero people trying to nail this song on the drums is pretty fun to watch imo.
I'll suggest another type of Metal music RUclips search "Paint It Black (metal cover by Leo Moracchioli)" When he interviewed for a gig and was asked what interment do you play his answer was "YES!"

Herman is a beast.
sad part is they cut out like 20 mins for the video lol ...
I could be wrong but i had heard it was inspired by their dungeons and dragons game.
power metal is a subgenre of metal one defined by guitar solos and fast paced music
and I've heard Dragonforce be described a s a bunch of guitar solos gaining sentience and forming a band
To be fair power metal is not my go to choice for metal music (Folk metal is my poison [bands like Arka'n Asrafokor, Bloodywood, Al namrood, ...]) but I do gotta give credit where credit is due. Dragonforce is awesome... also a good introduction to metal
nice shirt, great car, awesome reaction
Dragonforce be like... What if we put a guitar solo before the guitar solo
Amazing reaction! Keep up the good work.
Power metal yes. Jeez bro the genres of metal is very extensive
Real talk nice reaction
Metal comes from Mozart, Bethoven and all those classic musics player.
The structure of the song is the same.
It's nice to see rap fans appreciate our metalhead musics.
Keep rockin "nigga" 🙂🤘
Lead singer had time to eat a sandwich during that guitar/drum solo/duet.
who are these Ngas your talking about all the time ? =D
However loud the volume is turn it up more
MOORREEEEEE
Lemme just say the when we read -insert band and song- reaction, THIS is what we want
Edit: grammar
You can't listen to DragonForce and not get pumped!
this is - speed metal dude ))
And it is the short version, the original version last 7:21 😞
everyone focuses on the guitars, yes great but no one focuses on the drummer that can cook one hell of a pasta!
U must try to see when they live perform bro
Try "fury of the storm" live in japan
Honnestly this song is just one 6 minute gitarsolo
Late to this one, but the BEST line swapping song ever is definitely Ken and Ryu's Massacre by Twisted Insane and King ISO
Good content keep it up
React to their song Heroes Of Our Time.
MORE DRAGONFORCE! \m/
Check Killswitch - End of heartache 🤘
if you like people on guitar you should check out the dooo

Another to watch is Junna plying yhis on drums or Tina s do it guitar
Yeh, little Brother look up the lyrics for your songs you review. You get a better insight into what us Metalheads are talking about.
Herman Li’s not a nigga, he’s British Hong Kongeese
Get it right bra 🤣🤣
It's never too late to learn. Go hit your local pawn shop. buy the cheapest guitar they have. watch youtube lessons til you have the basics down. as you progress, buy better guitars.
Thank you for looking up the lyrics, honestly people ought to react to the lyric version of songs, more substance
Mah, dude, give me the bars over everything. I'll play it all if you wanna rap over it.
PLEEAAASEEEEEE react to system of a down - BYOB

In some cultures it's a filler word.
