Dragonforce are good, seen them live (below), the guitarists are awesome shredders, but I'm afraid their talent doesn't go much further than that, there are far better guitarists in this world.

No, i've replaced them, they failed their last mission; to infiltrate your evil lair of death. Instead they destroyed jeku's laboratory of chaos, and Indi's gamma weapon of noob-slapping rays.

My current evil henchmen is infact ABBA.

Interesting,you tried to infiltrate my evil lair of dead? I never knew I gave it such a corny name...Well I must have been drunk, but I thought I called it my Hello Kitty Happy playpen...As for Abba, well you're a cruel man. Lets stop before we stop hijack this thread with nonsense.

The guitarists in Dragonforce can move pretty fast (finger wise).

I personally like Rise Against and Coheed and Cambria.

I hope you're not talking about their left hand fingers, it's not that hard, getting the picking right while going that fast (or tapping) is what's hard. (or at least for me)

This would be the best guitar duo ever IMO. Side note for those who do not watch Rock Fugiyama, its screwy.

The guitarist in my band can do the left hand stuff, but I agree. They are fast with the picking.

People seem really impressed with the Dragonforce guitarists, they're not the best, they just can shred real fast, that's where their talent is at.

Immortal, Dimmu Borgir, Mayhem, Six Feet Under, and Emperor... That's Music!

(I really like dargonforce, but thoose bands rock harder! If your gonna listen to DragonForce, listen to Valley of the damned, or Fury of the storm! )

Search for "Solarfall"(witout the quotes) at YouTube, then choose "Solarfall Live"

Listen to the first sentence... It's like: "SHUT UP! Solarfall..."

Really good attitude!

PS: Solarfall is a song by Immortal!

A lot of their song have points to them, sometimes they just chuck in random things. But BYOB certainly has meaning.

@Hobgoblin Lord,
I thought it was funny when the principal asks him to turn it down, and Jason fakes that he cranks it way down, when he probably turned it a hair.

I find them very impressive, but it's not their speed, it's the sounds they can make.


[Edit]

Now Yngwie Malmsteen, he is one idiot who just wants to play fast. He's so arrogant now he claims he doesn't even need to practice cos he's so good.

I personnally don't like Yngwie that much.

But while Jason Becker can play extremely fast, and clean...

His music is honeslty not all about just being fast. And it's not like he's just playing random notes. To me Jason's legacy will always be the melodies and the beautiful harmonies, unbelievable time changes, speed stops, dual guitarist showdown (with Marty), that was ,ironically, Cacophony.

Cacophony - (from the Greek word kakophonia - kakos (bad) + phoni (voice, sound)) refers to sound that is harsh and unpleasant-sounding. The opposite of cacophony is euphony, meaning musical and pleasant. The closely related term dissonance implies a combination of sounds which clash; its antonym, harmony, suggests sounds that fit together well.

It's his utterly unique sytle, of making every note count, and dipping tremolo + bend-ups. His "guitar gently weeps."

Plus the fact that he was stricken with ALS so early in life. It's not like he had a lot of time.

When he does Paganini's Capris's (for violin) on guitar, the talent is just overwhelming.

Shows Yngwie's true attitude. He is damn good though.

John Petrucci is pretty good also, but I would not go so far as to say he is better then Becker. I'm a DT fan, but then again it's probably because half of their songs are just rearranged Queensryche and Fate's Warning songs with a new title.

Music is more than just the theory too, guys I mean, as a musician myself, its interesting to note how guys do what they do with what, but to base a musicians talent off that is insane. When you see a picture, do you say things like "OOh, i bet he used so and so camera" or "Hey, he is really good with composition and the rule of thirds is apparent", or do you comment on the photo itself?
