Children of Bodom, absolutely. Dragonforce might be politically correct, but Children of Bodom's instrumentation is amazing. Who here owns "Follow the Reaper" besides me?

On the topic of Opeth, I actually had "Deliverance" on about an hour ago. They're easily in my top five favourites.

Ok. I've been a Dragonforce fan, and I just went and listened to some of CoB's stuff.

Their solo's are pretty sick, and outdo some of Dragonforce's, but not all.

Also, I couldn't stand listening to the singer for CoB. It kinda hurt.

I prefer Dragonforce simply becuase they seem more complete as a band.

Guitar only, Dragonforce still wins because more pieces have longer and more difficult solos.

But their songs are WAY too similar. They need to do something different XD.

Follow The Reaper is the one piece by them that makes this argument extremely debatable. It's similar to a neo-classical piece, it's insane.

This thread should be renamed: Name bands that are better than Dragonforce and Children of Bodom because they actually take music seriously and don't only care about ****ing drunk groupies backstage

As much as I wish that weren't true, I salute that statement and you.

@TheRapingDragon: Rush freakin rocks

@Thread topic: Children of Bodom, the reasons have been covered. Unlike Dragonforce, CoB can play their instruments. And please, Dragonforce isn't power metal. That's the name given to it by the geeks who don't want to be identified as geeks. It's fantasy metal, get over it. If you like Dragonforce you're a geek. I'm not ragging on geeks, because I'm one, but really, it's not Power Metal. There's nothing powerful about Dragonforce.

Turisas.

Also, Dragonforce is so power metal; and last time I checked, all power metal is nerdy. The only kind of metal that is totally separate from nerds is death/black metal.

I like CoB

Me and my friends always thought Childreon Of Bodom and Korn should tour together and call it the Korn on the CoB tour

Or they both could tour with Lamb of God and call it Korn on the CoB with a LoG

I just don't see anything in it that should justify calling it POWER metal, personally
