Dragonforce-another Download tale
For those unaware, Dragonforce play a ridiculously fast and complex variant of metal. It sounds, if you like that sort of thing, epic-like it was written for the ultimate fantasy warrior film. As someone once told me, "like riding on a rainbow at a million miles an hour". Maybe it sounds a bit nerdy to some, but its sheer undiluted joy always makes me cheer up.
How amazing must it be to see them live? To see the utterly mental, surely unplayable riffs being thrashed out in front of you?

...turns out they really are unplayable. They sound great on CD, but live you can see them tying fingers in knots and wondering "What the fuck were we thinking??? ARRRRGH!!!!"

So until some ludicrously gifted hillbilly inbred with 8 fingers on each hand starts a cover band, our dreams of seeing this magic carpet of music unfold in front of use remain, just dreams.

Odd
I saw them in 2006/7-ish and they were excellent, I think Inhuman Rampage was their current album at the time.

Although I did get mightily irritated at the teenagers intentionally slamming into me, but that's just a personal gripe about all metal gigs.

Dragonfarce...
I saw them in 2008. There I was waiting to see what was possibly at the time going to be one of the greatest things I'd ever seen musically and they were absolutely shocking.

I think the locals in the area had already worked this one out as most of the people in the queue were dressed as vikings and were there to see the support band Turisas who were brilliant and made the night less dissapointing...
