      I'm a little late, but I believe a double peddle was used, so that makes it slightly less ludicrous, but it's still very impressive.

      @@metronome7698 are you serious? I hope you mean double pedal as in the pedals that do 2 hits in a single kick, because I refuse to believe you think playing like that using a single pedal (one foot) is physically possible.

      Jason Bradford I’m not sure what else I could possibly mean by double peddle, but maybe I wasn’t exactly clear enough? I meant a peddle that hits the drum twice in one kick.

      @@metronome7698 yeah, I figured. But you did fail to be a bit more specific, as double pedal is more commonly used when talking about, well, double bass pedals. But glad I got it. I actually didn't even know he used those special kind of pedals, thanks for the tidbit. Have a good one!

      Thanks for proving that you haven't listened to them live properly. You don't magically lose all your skill when you stand up. Sure, it's a little more awkward and takes some getting used to, but Sam and Herman have been playing for decades between the two of them. You think they aren't used to it by now? Nobody cares what days you claim to be from, it's completely unrelated to the subject. Trying to squeeze in something for your epeen? At least you got one part right, there's no fanboy shit here. I don't even listen to the band, I just know when a band is genuinely poor, and when people have to compensate by hopping on the band wagon because it's "cool" to hate something.

    • @MrFusion101
      @MrFusion101 5 років тому +1

      i just said i did, can't you read, you need to read all this then reply. You don't play guitar mate or you would know if you sit in a classical position ( if your right handed) with the guitar on your left knee, go try it and look at your hand position and feel the relaxed natural feeling your tendons in your forearm take. OK now from the minor 3d of E on the 5th string, play this string skipping arpeggio in Em. 3rd, 7th, root(octave higher) right up to the E on the 12th fret on the high E and back again. OK. Now stand up lower your strap so your guitar is very low like a rock star, play the same arpeggio. Notice your hand position the tension in your forearm and the fact that you will struggle a little more to make the stretches. If you practice standing up with your guitar in the same position you play live your muscle memory will develop differently. Have you never seen a REAL great player put his foot on the fold back for a complex solo, guess why? because its easier to play cleaner. fuckn fanboy scum, I've have a bachelor degree in contemporary music. I actually played in bands and recorded real albums, we recorded at the Butterfly effects managers house. You miss my point because your a fan boy. youtube search Ro Armu Tani, that was one of the more commercial bands i played in. those songs were re-written multiable times 14 min songs became 3-4 min catchy tunes, we removed all the big solos. Its nice to have big epic complex solos but when you have to play that night after night you spend more time just keeping your chops up plus its easier to jump about like a dickhead and head bang.

      I mean, to be fair, Dragonforce definitely falls on the performance side of things. What the guitarists are playing isn't all that fast or complex, however, making your hands look like they're jumping all over the place and using a very frantic feeling backing track makes it seem far, far, far faster, it's a pretty good trick, but it is a trick. It's still shreddy and all, but nothing crazy.

Not that I know anything about their deal or anything, but they might have been forced to do it for the reason you listed: it's easier to sell "commercial standard length" tracks i.e. easier to get slots for them on the radio and TV.

      Same thing with highway to oblivion they cut it down to 4 mins instead of 7 mins. Yet Metallica's one mv played the entire song , maybe nowadays mv should be 4 mins in order to produce a music video.

    Hey just so you know, it's an edited version of the song, the song is originally 7min long. But it was way too long for the common ppl so they cutted off the song to make it a 5min (wich is still long for a radio/video clip format) and made it more "explosive". You should check the entire song tho. The differences are subtile here and there in apperence but, hey, two minutes cut still :3

      I was curious (not a musician but find the process of making music, not to mention how instruments are made, fascinating) about how one can improve their dexterity to such an incredible degree. Specifically, what sorts of exercises/techniques would a guitarist use other than actually playing their guitar? If this is a ridiculous question, please forgive my ignorance.

    • @ima4248
      @ima4248 4 роки тому

      @@JustIn-op6oy as a pianist, I can answer too. Literally just practicing. You need to slowly pick a pace with songs, going on with harder ones to develop technique. On my channel, it's mostly videos for fun and songs I played months ago, but progress is constant. Just never stop practicing and you can get good at everything. If you keep playing instruments for a long time, if you compare songs you picked up months ago and one you picked up last week, there would be a great difference.

    It's a great song, but this version is a bit shorter
    DragonForce fans are a bit divided because they changed singers. Haters claim they don't/can't play there own stuff live.
    Personally I really like the band, very talented and gives a lot of energy.
    If you want more, Ashes of the dawn, Cry Thunder, Fury of the storm, Operation ground and pound (live version!!!)

      Reinderp The haters are referring to some technical glitches during a tour a decade ago and won't let it die even though there's now hundreds-thousands of videos proving they can play live thanks to youtube

      I've seen them live in recent years, they are fully capable of playing their songs live

      They used to suck ass live, but on the tour video from Japan recently, they crushed their whole set, including Fury of the Storm and TTFAF. I don't doubt that they wrote TTFAF well above their skill level at the time, but they've really grown into it. Unfortunately, they used such heavy effects on parts of the song on the album, they'll probably never recreate it perfectly live, but whatever. They're close enough that it doesn't really make that big a difference.

      I've seen them live 4 times in Aus and they have been fucking amazing every time.
