When Marc takes off one ultra-stylish pair of glasses to reveal yet another ultra-stylish pair of glasses, that's when I know I chose the best band to be a fan of.
There are 2 ways to be a great powermetal band. 1. Create an epic story through songs 2. Embrace the cringe factor of being a powermetal band. And Dragonforce somehow achieve both
I just randomly got this on my home feed... and guys, I didn't realize how much I needed the laughter I got from it! The best thing was it was lovingly done by people who truly appreciate the unique era and genuine, honest comedy. . ♡
You should check out their other stuff too. What made them famous was having the hardest song on Guitar Hero 3 and they're known for their fast and long solos.
Not quite. Dragonforce still make quality music with effort put into the composition and lyrics, saving most of their goofiness for their cover songs and music videos. Alestorm just seem like they're trying too hard to make The Next Viral Hit (C).
@Ayan Majumdar Because Bon Jovi is pure fun distilled and fucking awesome... I would enjoy some indian power metal. Lyrics are about hinduism space battles and use electric sitars
I was just having this conversation with someone else... Do you think zp would have done a video like this? IMO I don't think he would have. I love the over the top ridiculous nature of the band now. It's hilarious
This album's aesthetic takes me back super hard to the Sega Genesis era; at this point, I'd be surprised if there *wasn't* a video game about DragonForce coming.
@@UltraSpaceNinja it didn't. The band was named Dragonheart, but they had to chance because there was a movie with that name beign released. And if im not wrong, there was another minor band named Dragonheart. Honestly, DragonForce sounds way more imposing XD
@@yun7958 oh really? I wouldn't have ever guessed it even though this has no widescreen, isn't HD, has VHS effects and everyone is dressed up like that😂😂
Check out Blessed by a Broken Heart's Pedal to the Medal or Feel the Power. Unfortunately it wasn't quite enough time since the 80s passed (2006-2010) when they tried to do this sort of thing.
Melody focused, fast but not overly fast that it's meaningless, dragonforce should explore a bit of the 80s metal more, they're the one band that can do it justice. Good job boys!
I love how Gee actually looks like he loves playing it while the other seem like they're making fun of the cliché. Almost likes he's been waiting on this chance. Regardless, amazing song.
I know they filmed something for that song cause way back before epm release they put a short insta video of mark singing cosmic power in front of a green screen
@@jamesconnor6338 yeah seen that twitch stream where Herman was talking about that . So hyped for the cosmic power music video . That and In a SkyForged Dream would love to see
the moment i see the guitar my eye on that Green one as Green is one of my fav colour that guitar look so cool and epic and that hand of Li its just Maximum Overload with coolness and fun
Channeling the absolute worst in cheesy music video while at the same time channeling the absolute best in the music of the hair metal 80s. Incredible work guys.
I have been following the band for 16 years, and I can say that they are the best, a band that has known how to evolve through time and does not settle for the glories of the past, they fascinate me, I hope they can bring a new keyboardist and want to play it. the essence of dragonforce
I remember in 1984 driving to Pittsburgh to see Dragonforce. The glam metal band was in town, so I had to go! That same week, Dune came out with The Police. Years later, it feels like people are coming back to the 1980s. Glad Dragonforce is going back to their roots!
2:52 I can't help but chuckle every time I see those expressions. This is why I love Dragonforce. They're just having fun and it just makes things even better. Keep it up guys!
I'm just glad Steve's prototype GMC is finally seeing the light of day. It's about time someone took that damn thing out of the vault and actually played it!
The opening with the overweight fellow meeting a knock out is literally pulled from my life right down to the end with domination. You had no right to make me this sadly nostalgic but thank you for making me realize I can still feel. even if she is gone forever.
There is something about this song that makes it one of the best Dragonforce have done, but its not super fast, nor have 3 minute solos, hasn't got lyrics like 'riding across this land, with sword in hand'. Yet it works. Love it. And the video is hilarious
I read on a post that it is not Dragonforce music. This is so Dragonforce since it also brings some diversity, which I want in a band. Keep up the good wook.
After months of listening to Dragonforce without seeing the music videos, I have to say, these guys must be hella fun to hang out with. I really got into their music and am glad to see they don’t take things too seriously, it’s refreshing actually.
DragonForce : "Should we focus on releasing new music?" Also DragonForce : "Nah let's just make some music videos for songs that have already been out for ages, the fans will be happy" And right they were 😔
Dude they have so much music already out, though. I'm sure they are ALWAYS working on new music. Have you really listened to their whole discography so much that you're tired of it all and need more?
I've been listening to Dragonforce for most of my life and I still get goosebumps every time I listen to any of their songs. I picked up guitar and formed a lifelong soul fulfilling hobby because of you guys. Can't wait to see you guys again soon. lml
Oh boy, this is so 80s in every way possible! Love it! [L.E.] At 0:55 I was slightly disappointed I haven't heard yet anything about "the night"...was about to comment on it...only for 0:56 to bring me complete satisfaction. Legendary.
I never listened DragonForce, but these 2 new songs have a unique charm that the previous works don't have. Now i'm suscribed. I hope they continue like this.
Glad you guys love the new video. We almost died laughing filming this video. Please subscribe to our TH-cam for more! See you on tour!!!
Love you guys! ❤
I almost died laughing watching it. Totally taking the piss out if those stereotypical hair metal videos...
You need to play The Game in 80s garb. That would be awesome.
Looking forward to seeing you in Las Vegas on your tour.
It 100% embodies everything that makes DragonForce DragonForce. Good job!
Please tour together with Lovebites again!!! ❣🤘
When Marc takes off one ultra-stylish pair of glasses to reveal yet another ultra-stylish pair of glasses, that's when I know I chose the best band to be a fan of.
Have the feeling, they saw it on the "Eskimo Callboy - Hypa Hypa" video ;)
The cheeky wink seals it! 😅
Fuck yeah!
The whole video feels like a homage to Hypa Hypa.
Dream Theatre better
There are 2 ways to be a great powermetal band.
1. Create an epic story through songs
2. Embrace the cringe factor of being a powermetal band.
And Dragonforce somehow achieve both
Remember, by combining the powers of stupid and epic, you get an enhanced version of both.
Most other bands in the same genre I listen to don't really do number 2.
Power metal is so cringe that it's awesome.
i woudn't say they're power metal they're progressive metal the best analogy i can give for dragonforce is that they're genesis on crack
this comment has cringe power
I wasn't even born during the 80's yet this is giving me nostalgia from the 80's
as an 80s child, can confirm, this is full 80s, the hair, lighting, shredding, game arcade background....perfect!
Same here
You've been alive before countless times and it never ends as you climb the kaleidoscope and cubic beams of eternity
@@bkd4303 Even if that theory is true, he doesn't remember of the eighties, so you're comment makes no sense.

We are on tour in the USA and Canada with special guests Battle Beast, Seven Spires? Who's coming?
Nope, but bring this tour to the UK its awesome
count me in! 🤘
I'll be the one riding on the back of a dragon
I'm actually going too see you guys on the European tour with Powerwolf in Amsterdam and im VERY excited for that
Wish I could but I'm from South Africa. Keep the good vibes going ✌️

Dragonforce has reached Alestorm levels of giving no fucks.
They Give no Fucks in the Best way Possible
Massacration...
They certainly have not reached Alestorm levels, but they are on the right path!
Just without the..you know
Not quite. Dragonforce still make quality music with effort put into the composition and lyrics, saving most of their goofiness for their cover songs and music videos. Alestorm just seem like they're trying too hard to make The Next Viral Hit (C).

Something's going on that's not quite clear
Somebody turn on the lights, yeah
We're gonna have a party
It's starting tonight!
😅 you're amazing herman! loved your stream with dooo.
dragonforce is so ahead of their time... best band of the 80s
Lmao
Best comment! 😆😆😆😆😆
2080s of course
Jajajajaha
That guy's confidence is through the roof.
It's my sincerest prayer that we all may have confidence like that.
I want that level of confidence
you're wrong... The woman was the one fantasising about him!
The power is already inside of you, become mighty.
you do you. don't let women break you down
Dragonforce: The only band that needs two people to play one guitar cuz the shred level is so high. 😎👌
LMAO!!
And on top of that, they are playing two guitars. So.. this is crazy. 😀
2:53 🤣
They are no paul gilbert but it's good
LOL!!!
I love the fact that they recorded the video in 4:3... these guys rule
such attention to detail! everything they do is done well. even comedy! :D
@@rokko_fable Agree completely!! Cheers!
Probably not recorded in 4:3 but edited as such.
@@orbitalchiller: Yeah, very likely... But it was a clever decision anyway!
brings me back to the old school TH-cam days. love i
In every dragonforce music video I can never tell if it's the worst thing I've ever seen or the best thing, and I love it.
We can't go and do those warehouse hanging music videos. We just can't! Once is enough!
I'll help: Best
@Ayan Majumdar Because Bon Jovi is pure fun distilled and fucking awesome...
I would enjoy some indian power metal. Lyrics are about hinduism space battles and use electric sitars
If you like these videos check out The Darkness lmao. Specifically "I believe in a thing called love" lol
This is like Steel Panther and Dragonforce had a baby.
And mixed WhiteSnake..and 80's bands kkkkkk

@@Chuck_Sexton yeah I really can’t see ZP doing all this silly stuff and just having fun at this level. He was good but man am I glad Marc is here now
This album's aesthetic takes me back super hard to the Sega Genesis era; at this point, I'd be surprised if there *wasn't* a video game about DragonForce coming.
Im sure the name dragonforce came from a sega game?
The clip for heart demolition starts with an ad for a Sega Genesis game
@@UltraSpaceNinja it didn't.
The band was named Dragonheart, but they had to chance because there was a movie with that name beign released.
And if im not wrong, there was another minor band named Dragonheart.
Honestly, DragonForce sounds way more imposing XD
Retro Dragonforce is something we didn't know we needed but very much did
An image of that guy licking the arcade machine will forever be burned into my head.

it's Hairmazing XD

@@yun7958 gotta love it
@@yun7958 oh really? I wouldn't have ever guessed it even though this has no widescreen, isn't HD, has VHS effects and everyone is dressed up like that😂😂
I really hope you guys make an album that sounds like the 80’s but with your personal mark on it, like this. This sounds amazing.
Agree. This sounds amazing and can't stop listening to it.
Just checked the song on Spotify and they have a full album called "Extreme Power Metal". So there is a lot more to explore
There are more of us.
If you like this 80's hair metal vibe... Check out the album "Pedal to the Metal" by Blessed By A Broken Heart. Oddly satisfying.
First disco metal, now 80s metal power ballad metal. I’m here for it.
After this video I don't want them to go back to the old DragonForce.
This world needs more 80s Metal!!! \m/
Check out Blessed by a Broken Heart's Pedal to the Medal or Feel the Power. Unfortunately it wasn't quite enough time since the 80s passed (2006-2010) when they tried to do this sort of thing.
So Satchel made a big impact following the audition. Brilliant!
Director: How much retro 80s vibes do you want in your video?
Dragonforce: Yes
Melody focused, fast but not overly fast that it's meaningless, dragonforce should explore a bit of the 80s metal more, they're the one band that can do it justice. Good job boys!
It's like if Dragon Force wrote a Journey song, I love it lol.
Check out Crazy Lixx for that 80s sound, they're awesome. 😎
How about ghost
Have you never listened to Beast in Black? If you haven't, you should probably start with their second album.
H.E.A.T and Hammerfall are also worth checking out for a post-80s melodic hard rock and power metal genre fix.
I love how Gee actually looks like he loves playing it while the other seem like they're making fun of the cliché. Almost likes he's been waiting on this chance. Regardless, amazing song.
Finally, Strangers has a music video!
The one we've all been waiting for!
@@raymanlegend8563 strangers > every other video

Damn Dragonforce .... you're literally bringing back the good ol' 80's here. with Herman and Sam holding Ibanez JEMs. love this
Herman is such a precious man . Love you dude. Haha.
*Alternate Universe:* if DragonForce were formed in the 70-80s and they invented power metal along with Helloween and Rainbow.
Sam stealing the stage repeatedly and Marc pushing him away had me rolling. The classic guitarist/singer dynamic!
You all look great in 80's attire! The 80's are returning in STYLE!!!
Well damn wasn't expecting another one lol . Fingers crossed it's for Cosmic Power of the Infinite Shred Machine. My favourite song on there.
I know they filmed something for that song cause way back before epm release they put a short insta video of mark singing cosmic power in front of a green screen
I dunno, if you check the description, it says strangers
@@balmymussel266 well damn lol
They planned to do every song
@@jamesconnor6338 yeah seen that twitch stream where Herman was talking about that . So hyped for the cosmic power music video . That and In a SkyForged Dream would love to see

Dragonforce wasn't around in the 80s? Or did I miss a joke?
@@cthulhujack4518 It was a joke. Lol
Let's pretend that version of dune doesn't exist lol
They are like a parody of a parody making fun of that kind of music and era,
except this is actually their sound and era..
Pouring beer down the beer belly is just genius.
Who here is proud to be born in the late 70s growing up thru the 80s? ... i certainly am 100%
2:52 I can't help but chuckle every time I see those expressions. This is why I love Dragonforce. They're just having fun and it just makes things even better. Keep it up guys!
This song is too fantastic to not be released as a single. One of the catchiest songs on the album!
Only thing missing to bring this to ultimate 80's cheese would've been a Keytar solo...
Herman is SO funny as the guitarrist trying ultra-hard to look cute
To be honest, I love dragonforce, so I'm happy with any song
Sam and Herman sliding down fret together is such a bro moment
kudos to the dancers of this video. they nailed their parts perfectly
As a Power metal fan, this is bloody amazing.
I actually like this better than them playing a gazillion miles an hour. Nice homage to the best era of music IMO, the 80's.
Thanks
@@dragonforce Глэм рок
@@dragonforce No, thanks.
@@dragonforce That's weird, I actually *liked* the super blazing fast metal, though this is neat as well.
The cryptic lyrics of old are...hit or miss.
I love both, but this certainly is a nice change of pace for them. No surprise really that this works extremely well for them.
This is simply awesome ,power metal combined with the 1980's,arcade games and hot girls,then things cant get any better.
I'm just glad Steve's prototype GMC is finally seeing the light of day. It's about time someone took that damn thing out of the vault and actually played it!

I really needed this

Сделали в духе восьмидесятых, молодцы. Музыка, вокал и гитара, как всегда на высшем уровне
Мелодика и Ibanez'ы класс!
"Guys we need to record a new video"
The guitar of Herman before the record:
"O Lord, hear my last prayer..."
this will probably never get seen but the way dragonforce music makes me want to conquer a dragon is insane
Get a great 80s vibe from this song. Makes me remember Asia, Survivor, Toto, and those classic bands.
All those times "making a song by X band in 5 minutes" finally paid off! Never thought it would end in a power metal inspirated romp :D.
Who wrote that song originally?😀
I just discovered Dragon Force 3 days ago and I'm obsessed. I've never liked hair bands yet here we are.
Whats is happening? I only know one thing: This Is about a cosmic power.
This sounds like TNT in the mid 80s, especially the vocals..Holy fuck
The 4:3 aspect ratio is what really makes it
seeing Dragonforce with wig is equivalent to Ryan George wearing fake moustache over his real moustache
Herman: "Sam, let's parody some 80's *coughs" band"
Sam: "OK, let's make 80's parody"
Honestly looking forward to you guys with Powerwolf next year
No
No fucking way
*googles*
Yes fucking way
this music bring my grandpa and grandma alive again ., i can feel it
The Dragonforce music video I didn't know I needed this is amazing
Can't decide if the double sunglasses or the behind the back basketball throw that clearly came from off screen was the best.

Holy hell, this is hilarious. So Much 80s, so much fun, so much arcade games. Doesn't matter what song it is about. The video Is a piece of art.
Growing up with parents who loved power metal & power ballads, I just LOVE THIS SO FRICKIN MUCH
We need this song to be featured on upcoming Stranger Things season!!
80's era was better. Thank you DragonForce for bringing it back.
look at those poodled hairs! it is almost glitter glowing!! it's more 80s than 80s itself!
When you are extremely talented and you are bored you create something like this.
とりあえず、メンバーたち楽しそうでなにより。
We need a full album like this!
Hell yeah 😁
With the amount of fan action this is right up Herman's alley.
3:13 ive not laughed that good for far too long🤣, love you guys!
Una carta de amor a los 80s y en especial a los videojuegos y al metal que crecieron juntos, impecable

Herman sniping with his guitar is a highlight for sure
Everything was brighter in the 80’s
God, i love that they don't take themselves seriously. They can give us really fun tracks and videos like this because of it!
I see you're adopting Stevie T's mannerisms, Herman. The goofy facial expressions while doing some harmonic squeals. I LOVE IT.
Yes because the first guitar player ever to show emotion on his face was stevie t........
,💯💯💯
herman have been making guitar faces since dragonforce started lol
Stevie T is just (very badly) pretending to do what guitarists far better than him have been doing for decades.

dragonforce becoming steel panther? what a great video
One of the best bands of all time. Epic musicians.
This was absolutely amazing, on all the levels.
