It's not taking over the world... it's saving the world not through the super cliché power of love or friendship... it's *THROUGH THE POWER OF ROCK!!!* Or *METAL!!!* in this case...
I'm not sure why, but when I listen to this song, I can't help but to have the biggest smile on my face. And I feel like I can conquer the world. That's all.
The original vocalist ZP THEART from year 1999 to 2010 is their best and most powerful vocalist, period. 🤘 I wish ZP Theart reUnite with DragonForce in the future 🤘
@@thompsondo2450 Plenty of singers smoke and drink and sounds good until the age catches up to them. Lemmy Kilmister smoked and drank each day his whole adult life,and he didnt have much volume/intensity left in his voice,due to his cancer issues on his last years of touring at 70 years of age....
I will never forget being in middle school from 2005 to 2007, drinking BAWLS energy, going on limewire and downloading this song just to burn it on a CD. Good times man
If the situation continues as it is right now, I swear if there is a second civil war right now i will play it until the end and die in glory at its fullest man for sure
This was both the first song I heard, and first music video I watched, from DragonForce. It was introduced to me, strangely, by my 7th grade teacher, back in elementary school. We were in the computer lab and the school firewall was down for some reason, and I was able to get on TH-cam, he saw me, and instead of getting mad at me for even trying to get on the site, he just goes "... Search up 'Operation Ground and Pound'". He showed me it, I instantly fell in love with the band, and I've been listening to them some 15 years later. When the song was finished he asks "Is that not the coolest stuff you've ever heard?" Yes. Yes it is. He was a based teacher.
This is just one the coolest and funniest music videos ever, just because ZP stands infront of the greenscreen and drinks (probably) coffee :) Dragonforce 4ever!!!
***** I like that way of looking at it, I never really thought about it I just thought it was awesome that they have this wonderful music without the lyrics making any sense at all XD. Also love how that Grant guy never made another comment about him thinking I am a poser lol.
I just found this band today. Dont know how I missed them. This is so great. It makes me feel the same way I felt when I saw The never ending story as a kid. Or Explorers. Ya know?
18 years later this song still rocks! You’ve inspired so many artists and still so many take your ideas with your style of rock! You are and have been the catalyst in this new era!
Coming back here after around eight years, all I could remember from this was "ZP's vocal range is godtier." "ZP's shirt is awesome, I want it." "Lol, ZP's short green screen clip was pretty funny." Edit: Huh. 7 years ago. And I have a similar shirt
+joethehero2 there are plenty other more suitable metal bands to represent the genocidal actions you commit in the name of your false emperor, this is far too light hearten for 40k
vladislav .karets Come on. Tell me you couldn't see a team of Space Wolves with Imperial counterparts to Noise Marine weapons on a suicide run to prevent an escape ship full of Emperors Children Warbands from leaving the planet set to the full version of this song.
French : DragonForce a des mélodies d'un caractère très raffiné, un chanteur a la voix enchanteresse et des musiciens plus que talentueux. (Like a Sir)
3:34 every singer in every metal band I've been in ALWAYS does this when me and the other guitarist are soloing together. They're just like, "yep, there they are, look at em go, weeeeee!"
DragonForce is one of the most perfect bands of Power Metal I've ever heard (Along with Helloween, Edguy, Firewind, At Vance, Stratovarious and a lot more) The guitar battles between Sam and Herman always takes me far away in joy. ZP's voice is in my Top 10 magical Metal voices. (Really miss him in this band). Frederic's bass lines and Vadim's keyboarding joins to make outrageous melodies. And Dave "drumming" just killed it in every DF's song, a truly extreme drummer. Long Live DragonForce.
I remember as a young teen staying up to watch this on Headbanger's Ball on MTV 2. I was so amazed, I bought the CD on general principle. Those were shitty days for me, but DragonForce made it better. I've fallen in love with their music again.
One thing you can't deny is they all went HAM and gave it their all in this track ( They always do but there's something special about this one lol ). Especially ZP Theart I mean GODDAMN is range is huge here. Such an amazing underated one of a kind vocalist. Love Marc Hudsons era but man do I miss these days sometimes. Jealous whoever got to experience this era live. Wanna meet him so badly lol seems like a fun guy to have a Beer with
power metal is a subgenre of heavy metal so technically they are heavy metal ... dont try to get start a genre war with me little boy i been a head banger since i was 13 i'm now 30
Growing up playing guitar hero... and years later realizing how good the rest of their music is. Dragonforce will be discovered over and over by new fans for decades. 🫡🫡🫡
Mark Steward Only if you're new to the music style lol. Can tell all of their songs apart after a while of hearing them. The newer stuff with the other singer is a bit weirder of course.
Dragonforce... ah... what a guilty pleasure. I listened to them a lot sophomore year and the melodies are so catchy. They're so powerful and upbeat... They're notorious for being hated by a lot of die hard powermetal fans, but oh well. I'm not going to stay in the "metal" closet. What's catchy is catchy. There's no shame in that.

Saammmeee
I just turned a coworker onto dragonforce yesterday with through the fire and flames im about to tell him to turn this one lol
@@shinykamon188 hell yea, good timing as they're finally putting out new music too, though very different lol
same im 30 and love dragonforce
I saw them on tour for this album, was mind blowing hearing this at 15 for the first time
All of DragonForce songs: ''Far away''
cause they're far away in the future \m/
+Krish Ramessur "Forever more"
"Pain"
+Cristopher De La Cruz Mountains -3-
I know😑 but still good
Lol
ZP Theart+ Dave Mackintosh
+Vadim Pruzhanov+Herman Li +Sam Totman+Frédéric Leclercq = the best Dragonforce era
and fred?
Operation Ground and Pound has to be the coolest name for a song ever
Followed by Revolution Deathsquad
John McLellan this songs about how they're gonna take over the world and kill everyone that's on it
It's not taking over the world... it's saving the world not through the super cliché power of love or friendship... it's *THROUGH THE POWER OF ROCK!!!* Or *METAL!!!* in this case...

I think it’s that roadrunner base line that does it
@bry4sh0rt Well said, Sir. Well said.
I get that from heros of our time too
Dragonforce is basically an eternal battle of Herman and Sam trying to beat each other at real life guitar hero
🤣
and Herman is always winning
Seriously
Coming back to this in the depressing year of 2020 makes me happy.
Amen, brother. Hit's differently.
Same here, it’s so good to listen df again
Im with you my friend !
Me too man I’m here for that same reason. I was driving back from a DND night with my fellow nerds and I through this on and it brought me back
Amen
The original vocalist ZP THEART from year 1999 to 2010 is their best and most powerful vocalist, period. 🤘
I wish ZP Theart reUnite with DragonForce in the future 🤘
Couldn't agree more. The peak of Dragonforce was with ZP THEART. I don't care what people think about ZP. I still want him back in Dragonforce!
step 1: buy vodka
step 2: everytime you and a friend hear the lyric "far away", you drink.
step3: get drunk and enjoy
Wanna get drunk faster, drink after you hear the word pain
+Kevin MTLHeavy great drinking game, especially with Dragonforce's most common two words in their songs
+Kevin MTLHeavy 3 songs and they dead from alcohol poisoning lol
step 4: ????step 5: profit
step 6:weed problem solved
great song, great sense of humour in this video and this singer was awesome
I prefer him over the new one
Couldn't agree more. Theart rules, I stopped listening to DF after he left
He was replaced because he sounded like shit on stage, smoking and drinking. That wouldve damaged his voice.
@@thompsondo2450 Plenty of singers smoke and drink and sounds good until the age catches up to them. Lemmy Kilmister smoked and drank each day his whole adult life,and he didnt have much volume/intensity left in his voice,due to his cancer issues on his last years of touring at 70 years of age....
ZP need come back to dragonforce ❤
this bands music makes you feel like a warrior in a fantasy world
After all these years I found someone who thought the same way I did lmfao!!
@@WeouTHereburH well all power metal like that check some lost horizon
@@MARMAR-xw6gj will do! 🤝
Lol well they are all total gaming nerds 😂
2024 AND DRAGONFORCE NEVER GETS OLD
KEEP FLYING FURTGER AND FURTHER AWAYYY
Producer: how many special effects?
Dragonforce: yes!
"Nothing beats a ground pound."
It's funny cuz thats what i did to your mom last night! *Gremlin laugh
I will never forget being in middle school from 2005 to 2007, drinking BAWLS energy, going on limewire and downloading this song just to burn it on a CD.
Good times man
Bawls memory unlocked.
"Rise through the pain like the sun will rise again!" Goosebumps everytime ❤
This needs to blast over the world as the Yellowstone volcano erupts so at least we’ll go down in glory
If the situation continues as it is right now, I swear if there is a second civil war right now i will play it until the end and die in glory at its fullest man for sure
Lmao! Great comment, Sir.

im 32 now and i can say with certainty that this song has one of the greatest solos of ALL TIME
agreed,love the guitar solo duel part to this day xD
Havent heard this song in like 6 years. Get goosebumps every time!
Metal + Trucking = Awesome Life.
hi im from 2023. yes it is
This is just one the coolest and funniest music videos ever, just because ZP stands infront of the greenscreen and drinks (probably) coffee :)
Dragonforce 4ever!!!
uploaded ten fucking years ago. Wow.
I know right, I still listen to them every day though
David Lee that seems so far away
David Lee about to be 11 years
11 years now! Time sure flies.
if they fingered a girl she would die
I can't believe this was dropped on 2006..
This was the first hd video of my life... true story
2005, but either way it's crazy that it sounds like it was made in the late 90s.
FoolOfATook
FoolOfATook why are you not telling the truth
Lmao I wasn't even born then...
If you actually read the lyrics to dragonforce's music like this makes absolutely no sense but it sounds fucking amazing!!!!!!!
10/10
You dont get the meaning of the music. Poser
Don't have to get th meaning to know great music sir. I am not a poser I love dragonforce.
Grant worthington Rofl he's not a Poser, ZP Theart literally said that the lyrics don't have to make sense, they just have to sound cool
***** I agree! I like your thinking good sir
***** I like that way of looking at it, I never really thought about it I just thought it was awesome that they have this wonderful music without the lyrics making any sense at all XD. Also love how that Grant guy never made another comment about him thinking I am a poser lol.
1999 to 2023 and Li and Totman still the original members, some say still duelling in a never ending battle, whilst members come and go 😅
I still can't believe this is the "short" version of the song. And it's still EPIC!!!!!!!!!!
The true Dragonforce at its best
i love zp just sheugging at sam and herman like “what are we gonna do with em”
It's because the guitarists are soloing and there's nothing for Zippy to do so he just goes "ah well".
I just found this band today. Dont know how I missed them. This is so great. It makes me feel the same way I felt when I saw The never ending story as a kid. Or Explorers. Ya know?
18 years later this song still rocks! You’ve inspired so many artists and still so many take your ideas with your style of rock! You are and have been the catalyst in this new era!
Literally one of the best bands in the world. Love you guys. 😢❤
2024 i´m here
Yes
me too
Make it third...3️⃣
Yes
Im 24 this band is the one who got me into wanting to play drums
I adore how the guitarists treat their guitars like weapons. Let's also not ignore the dude with the keytar using it like a fushigi ball
Coming back here after around eight years, all I could remember from this was
"ZP's vocal range is godtier."
"ZP's shirt is awesome, I want it."
"Lol, ZP's short green screen clip was pretty funny."
Edit: Huh. 7 years ago. And I have a similar shirt
Only Dragonforcce are metal enough to play during an Exterminatus.

true
They are the Exterminatus
Theres too much heresy on this comment
I can tell they had fun making both the song and the video.
Herman and Sam are Metal angels sent by Heaven to bring us joy, laughter and most importantly *epicness.*
Nothing like some classic DragonForce to start the day🤟🏻
Just listened to an hour of Dragonforce and now my ear's are ringing. It feels glorious!
Best feeling in the world
French : DragonForce a des mélodies d'un caractère très raffiné, un chanteur a la voix enchanteresse et des musiciens plus que talentueux. (Like a Sir)
I love it how they showcase the guitar solos in a comedic manner
ZP Theart - The real Dragonforce!
this is the first dragonforce song i heard 15 years ago and i still love it. I do miss ZP being the singer but the band is still amazing
Made in 2006 and was lit asf. Now in 2017..... Its stil lit asf, one of my favroite songs ever :)
But is it lit as fuck?
Duet gitar paling berbahaya dan mematikan
Lol!!! Best video ever!! xD the part where he is just at a green screen like "whatever" xDD
ZP just did not give a crap.
PhillyCloud1234 ZP gives no fucks
Defining this song’s riff in one word: GOOSEBUMPS
I wanted to see them open for Iron Maiden but I was too far away.
It was So Far away
Svil Buscus woah slow down there; Buzz Killington.
KasHCubeD WTF?
Did you wait for the day though?
They are better than Iron Maiden.

A cena do vocalista tomando café com o fundo verde atrás é a melhor do clip . kkkk

the keytarist vibing is a perfect example of why this band goes so hard
Too bad he's retire from the band and become a family man 🥺
Totman and Li are guitar gods. Nuff said
Prob my fav song of its genre of the last 2 decades. I remember coming back from high school and listening to it on MTV
I don't even know how music and singing is played this fast but hell it works and I like it
I saw them last night at soundwave they put on an amazing show.
Gotta love the wind effects in this ode to heavy hair metal bands
Made in 2006... Still epic in 2014.
And the future..
live toniiiiight!
Update: 28 days into 2015. Still epic.
Update the update: 10 day to 2017 and still epic AF.
My god if there was music i wanted to here in heaven when i die its these guys vocals drums guitar perfection
I hate how this was cut. It didn't need to be cut.
it cuted?

She is in grounp pound process of our mothers

Their music is the most professional and beautiful. Each of members of the band is top master in his craft. They are amazing.
legend has it the last girl herman li fingered died
Original.
3:36-3:40 we need more of this during dual solos xD
Herman Li rules
LEEEON HELP ME!
LEON HELP ME!!
I mean Sam Totman is cool too but w/e
Herman Li rules. Talent and nice hair !
But, Sam is the brain of the band and main songwriter of DF
dragonforce the best
Dragonforce are an abomination to heavy metal ...
Ned Kelly Maybe because they aren't heavy metal, they're a power metal band....
power metal is a subgenre of heavy metal so technically they are heavy metal ... dont try to get start a genre war with me little boy i been a head banger since i was 13 i'm now 30
Ned Kelly
Yeah...I learned this not long after I posted my comment. They're not an abomination to heavy metal. Plus, they've improved greatly.
Ned Kelly well put, I've been a headbanger since '86, (up the irons)
I haven't heard this song in 5 years and I still remember the words lol
i still stick to dragonfoce cause when you grow old and that time hearing somehow childish gaming songs are kinda awessome
ghehe the words are not that far away🙈
laso
When he hits screams of pain and the final verse. Gives me chills Everytime. This guy's range was in the same tier with the very best in his prime.
here in 2020.
Looking at this video in 360p when that was HD in 2006
Oh nostalgia. oh the simpler times.
Hi
I love the video dont get me wrong but, why do must they shorten the song even the amazong intro of this song isnt in it man
Its epic and still like it
2019 sept
I love the views of Herman playing in this video, really shows how fast you have to be
O solo dessa banda é incrível.. Show de bola..
imagine being the drummer of this band. Same beat in the whole concerts. xD
It's like working out on stage in every concerts. Same move every time LOL
2020 ? Only stay in music rock metal best of the best ever!
Thier music stands for rising above oceans of misfortunate and to fight to see another day. Im gonna miss this music one day

Only if you're new to the music style lol. Can tell all of their songs apart after a while of hearing them. The newer stuff with the other singer is a bit weirder of course.
I guess I can see the similarities, but I prefer this one to Through Fire and Flames.
Nicholas Hayes i always thought this was the better song. But fire came out first when they blew up so it's to be expected.
guys listen to operation fire and flames by ukogmonkey

They're notorious for being hated by a lot of die hard powermetal fans, but oh well. I'm not going to stay in the "metal" closet. What's catchy is catchy. There's no shame in that.
I remember discovering this song on a Metal Hammer compilation CD back in 2008 or so!!! 🤘🤘
I always liked watching the guitar battle in this video! 😅
Música muuito boa; ainda mais quando se é tocada no Guitar Hero 3 !!!
Ne mano MT bom
I still love the fact that they are using NES controllers during the solo.
They're not NES controllers, they're for the NEC PC Engine, an 8bit console with custom 16-bit graphics chips made by NEC.
didn't knew amelia watson had a theme song for a decade and a half

One of the most beautiful music videos of my life
That's now how you video games Herman.
