Dragonforce vs. Children of Bodom - Page 2

Bodom's better just because of the lack of diversity in dragonforce's solos.

dragonforce is WAAAAYYYYY better

Verruckter · 01-19-2007, 05:48 PM

I don't think you realise that Dragonforce's solos aren't really impressive. First of, they're always the same, second they're not really that fast. Also, they're not innovative nor technical. http://youtube.com/watch?v=1PRkWXhNP1U <- This is technical.

By the way, I've seen both Dragonforce and Children of Bodom live, and I must say that Dragonforce sucks live. They're completely drunk, they fail all the solos, they lost beat, the **** up even during the riffs and it takes freaking 30 seconds to reckon what songs they're actually playing 'cause they can't get two damned notes one after the other correctly.

Children sometimes arrive on stage drunk, which is also ****ing digraceful, but at least when I saw them they got the solos right and it was almost perfect.

By the way, Rhapsody wins.

**TheRapingDragon** · 01-20-2007, 05:20 AM

Rhapsody.

**Lucifericrucifix** · 01-20-2007, 01:32 PM

Atheist or Martyr, hell, Dillinger Escape Plan or even Fantomas if we're talking about musical composition. It seems that we're talking about harmonics and what not though, so Rhapsody.

dragonforce whips the most ass in my opinion

FluorescentArmy · 01-20-2007, 08:15 PM

I take Children of Bodom. Alexi Laiho is just better in my opinion. Herman Li and his rhythm guitarist can only tap, play some ****ty powerchords, and play simple tapping sections from what I've seen. Children of Bodom does have a lot of repetition in their licks, such as powerchords and interludes, but I think it's better. Being a guitarist myself, I hate people who just play something because it sounds cool. The sound is a factor in a good piece but when you throw two distorted guitars with insane reverb in with horrible drumming, singing, and cheesy keyboard effects, you get something horrible. A big rotten mass of musical failure. Children of Bodom can mix these. The lyrics aren't always the best, but they fit the song titles. They most definitely aren't about magic dragons flying through purple mist either. CoB's keyboard goes with the guitar unlike DragonForce. I've seen/played several of the CoB keyboard unison and interludes and they're just awesome. I've never attempted at listening or playing a DragonForce song after seeing they're "I betcha can't play this video". It was a sloppy mess. Herman couldn't even pull off a simply Amin sweep with a hammer-on in the middle of it. The other retard just tapped between some frets and then went up. Music has to have soul in it. DragonForce fails at it. Children of Bodom isn't very good at it but I think they do a better job. I prefer the vocals of CoB, too. I hate, loath, and despise power metal vocals. It sounds like the guy swallowed a handful of needles before trying to sing. I like harsher vocals like Alexi's.

EDIT: Opeth, Dillenger, and Rhapsody are quite awesome though.

While i still do like Dragonforce, i have found that i agree more with CoB's music. I have been listening to CoB's stuff quite a lot recently and i really think they do a pretty great job with their music.
I think that for the most part Dragonforce has a fanbase similar to that of the one for Final Fantasy VII. I do also think that most people that are supporting Dragonforce's side more havent ever listened to CoB or enough of them at least.

Heh, you're right about not listening to them.

And how dear you compare Dragonforce to the evil that is FF VII. Oh, nooo!

**TheRapingDragon** · 01-21-2007, 09:05 AM

The Second Moon.

Verruckter · 01-21-2007, 09:40 AM

Dragonforce made one good song. I wonder why they released it 30 times.

By the way, Rhapsody.

P.S. Blind Guardian also.

Who cares about potential, it's about what they've shown.

I have the potential to be the most badass thing this side of town, but I'm not, unfortunately. Just because I have that potential, I shouldn't be judged by it. Although that would be nice.

dead_juggalo · 01-21-2007, 12:11 PM

Dragonforce does have better solo's. I still like the music overall from Bodom more.

Sauce-la. Totally.

If everyone is going to be just mentioning their favorite similar bands, then do I have to be the first to say Gamma Ray?

**Lucifericrucifix** · 01-21-2007, 02:17 PM

Yeah, everyone is just listing assorted power metal bands, lol. I got in the habit and it seems as though we're all doing it. Gamma Ray, old school. Yet no one has mentioned Stratovarius..I don't even listen to much Power-Metal but here we all are.

I vote CoB because it's not as geeky.
