Dragonforce is crazy. I've been listening to them for the past day, and I'm convinced they are the kings of shred!
Any guitar fans check em out.. they're cheesy, they're fast, they're passionate! Songs about riding on the wings of dragons and slaying your foes and such!

Everytime I hear their songs I envision myself as an archmage waging war against the Netherworld
Listening to them on shrooms was probably the most hilarious thing I've ever done

Dragonforce isn't that great. Children of Bodom is far more interesting.
And Blind Guardian certainly has the edge on medevial fantasy metal.
I haven't listened to too much Dragonforce, although I do remember when they were Dragon Heart on mp3.com.

I dunno. I've heard CoB before, but if you listen to the solos on the song "Through the Fire and Flames" by Dragonforce... oh man. It's absolutely face-melting.
Fastest guitar I've ever heard, anyway.

Laiho is a good guitarist, but the Dragonforce guys just outplay. Style wise COB and Dragonforce are completely different, can't really compare.

Yeah, it depends what you're in for. DragonForce is just fun, CoB is more serious even though it's somewhat cliché. Either way, both bands are cool. Also, for Power Metal; Rhapsody, Helloween and Sonata Arctica are obligatory.

meh...super fast shredding isn't very impressive to me compared to other, more melodic, styles.

DragonForce is awesome, going to see them in May. WinterSun also kicks some serious ass. Children of Bodom lost the plot after Follow the Reaper.

I agree, but sometimes you just need something to knock your socks off.
