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
dragonforce is so ahead of their time... best band of the 80s
Lmao
Best comment! 😆😆😆😆😆
2080s of course
Jajajajaha
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).
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 ✌️
Holy shit you're coming through Calgary and Edmonton? Might have to go twice
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_hates_japan 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
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..
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.
Anemoia
What's happening here? - Herman
a video consisting of music
Music
@@petrolsquirrel oh yeah that makes sense
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.
An image of that guy licking the arcade machine will forever be burned into my head.
i absolutely love how marc hudson instantly fit in with the band.
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
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!!!
MUSIC VIDEO OF THE YEAR!!! Their hair is amazing 😂 DANCE OFF WAS EPIC.
it's Hairmazing XD
@@metalheadmaniac8686 😂😂😂😂
music video look likes 90's 😂
@@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 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.
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.
They are so good live! It's a fun kind of serious, but they are hard workers for sure.
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!
If only real life was like that...
The power is already inside of you, become mighty.
This is like Steel Panther and Dragonforce had a baby.
And mixed WhiteSnake..and 80's bands kkkkkk
GlamForce
@@lunahetfield Yeees kkkk
And just a sprinkle of Poison 😁
@@oshikuru09 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 courseee kkkk
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 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 follow them since 2006 hahaha
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 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
You all look great in 80's attire! The 80's are returning in STYLE!!!
This is the best Dragonforce song I've heard in YEARS!
Retro Dragonforce is something we didn't know we needed but very much did
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.
*Herman Li still remains to be an untouchable senpai.*
Simplesmente DragonForce. A banda que marcou minha adolescência e que eu acompanho até hoje. Só me faz gostar cada vez mais! Clipe maravilhoso, muito engraçado! Um clássico dos anos 80 em pleno 2022!
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.
Director: How much retro 80s vibes do you want in your video?
Dragonforce: Yes
kudos to the dancers of this video. they nailed their parts perfectly
Wow, gentlemen....you struck a nerve with me.....everything is on point!!! The song, the video, the band!!!! Major props to the music director!!! You encapsulated the 80's in this video!!!! Freaking Superb!!! Young Alex Winter and Keanu Reeves are rocking to this tune!!!!😀😃🤩
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.
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.
Cruising down the streets I'm hiding
Hiding from the danger zone
Underneath the blinding city lights
Lost and far away from home
Deep inside I got a burning fire
No one here to set me free
Wasted times
I've been longing for more
But we were
Strangers, in a city burning
Strangers, in the night
Danger, can you hear it calling
Time and time again I had to
Understand a reason why
Raise my hands up to the sky
Hide away my tears
Hold on to my dreams
I know this pain inside
It's growing
A thousand times I've had to stray
But tonight I won't
I'll face it
Instead of trying to hide it away
And far beyond the senses
I'll find the power to set me free
Wasted times
I've been longing for more
But we were
Strangers, in a city burning
Strangers, in the night
Danger, can you hear it calling
Time and time again I had to
Understand a reason why
Raise my hands up to the sky
Hide away my tears
Hold on to my dreams
Understand a reason why
Raise my hands up to the sky
All the tears the wind blew high
Are falling down on this city tonight
Strangers, in a city burning
Strangers, in the night
Danger, can you hear it calling
Time and time again I had to
Understand a reason why
Raise my hands up to the sky
Hide away my tears
Hold on to my dreams
Understand a reason why
Raise my hands up to the sky
All the tears the wind blew high
Are falling down on this city tonight
This is simply awesome ,power metal combined with the 1980's,arcade games and hot girls,then things cant get any better.
*Alternate Universe:* if DragonForce were formed in the 70-80s and they invented power metal along with Helloween and Rainbow.
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
とりあえず、メンバーたち楽しそうでなにより。
Cheesy 80s epicness, the best type. I NEED A PAIR OF THOSE GLASSES!!!
I had never heard of Dragon Force until I happened to encounter a Stevie T video in which he lampooned various types of metal bands and used Dragon Force as an example. Dragon Force is my favorite band now!
Never played Guitar Hero 3 huh?
I also never heard of DragonForce until some time ago I heard a drum cover of Through the fire and flames by Junna. It was reacted by guitarist Herman Li and drummer Gee Anzalone (in two separate video's) too.
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!
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
God, i love that they don't take themselves seriously. They can give us really fun tracks and videos like this because of it!
Growing up with parents who loved power metal & power ballads, I just LOVE THIS SO FRICKIN MUCH
Damn Dragonforce .... you're literally bringing back the good ol' 80's here. with Herman and Sam holding Ibanez JEMs. love this
So Satchel made a big impact following the audition. Brilliant!
this music video is 10/10
10/10 AND 4:3!🤣
One of the best bands of all time. Epic musicians.
To be honest, I love dragonforce, so I'm happy with any song
This sounds like TNT in the mid 80s, especially the vocals..Holy fuck
As always, Herman's guitar is beautiful, the shade of green is astounding 💯💯💯
Feeling the 80's vibe with this one.
Their music quality hasn't changed at all, thats how you know that this is an incredible band🤟🤟🤟
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.
80's music so cheesy, it's cool
Dragon Force makes me feel nostalgic for a time period that is 20 years older than me.
Taking of the two sunglasses got me cold.
Only thing missing to bring this to ultimate 80's cheese would've been a Keytar solo...
Sam looks more natural than I've ever seen him. He's finally found his look :-)
😂
Been listening to Dragonforce since I was in high school, and even to this day their music is still relevant and definitely something I will keep listening to until well into my old age
Thanks dragonforce. Your music always powerful, colorful, beautiful, unique, weird and make my day fun! The best metal band of all time!
Finally, Strangers has a music video!
The one we've all been waiting for!
@@raymanlegend8563 strangers > every other video

@@raymanlegend8563 wait a minute....I don’t think anyone is supposed to know it’s the strangers video
@@thestibblr6637 :feelssambro:
Whats is happening? I only know one thing: This Is about a cosmic power.
dragonforce becoming steel panther? what a great video
This is my favorite Dragonforce song. Unironically the best.
Pouring beer down the beer belly is just genius.
Сделали в духе восьмидесятых, молодцы. Музыка, вокал и гитара, как всегда на высшем уровне
Мелодика и Ibanez'ы класс!
This video is every guy's fantasy. All of it.
Ahh....back to 90s power metal song and taste...
Everyone's guessing it's another song from Extreme Power Metal, but am I the only one that thinks it'll be a brand new song from an upcoming album? It seems like the right time for one tbh
I hope so. Maybe will help me get through what will be an absolutely shit tomorrow
That would be fk awesom
Maybe, but the description says strangers, so I feel like it’s gonna be that
Well, it didn't hurt to dream big lol
@@CakeJerry nah, I think that’s a fair guess+ they did say that 1 more album (albeit somewhat of a shitpost album) was releasing later this year, so I could sort of see where your coming from
The 80’s cheese factor is strong with this one! Love it - great job guys!!!
Gracias DragonForce para darme razones para vivir.
A veces tengo días grises donde el cansancio domina todo pero al escucharlos todo toma colores NEÓN y me dan la energía que brindan unas lágrimas genuinas de felicidad.
Gracias por ser el Power Metal que siempre necesité para seguir adelante. ALWAYS DRAGONFORCE!
x2
Al ver esto solo me dieron ganas de irme a viciar a un Arcade por horas mientras escucho power metal
Herman Li's perm is what makes this video AMAZING!!!! LOL
Sam stealing the stage repeatedly and Marc pushing him away had me rolling. The classic guitarist/singer dynamic!
Alguien más que sea mexicano o latino que admire a Dragónforce 🤘🤘🤘
Aquí andamos aquí andamos jaja
Somos muchos
Presente, aunque este álbum de DF poco me gustó :c
🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘 aquí estamos
Creo que hay muchos Dragonforce fans aquí en américa latina
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've stopped hearing you, guys, since like five years, now I come back and found this.
Amazing!
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 song is too fantastic to not be released as a single. One of the catchiest songs on the album!
3:36 you can't tell me that this didn't hurt Marc haha
This song dethroned Revolution Deathsquad as my absolute top Dragonforce song.
"Guys we need to record a new video"
The guitar of Herman before the record:
"O Lord, hear my last prayer..."
Who here is proud to be born in the late 70s growing up thru the 80s? ... i certainly am 100%
after having not listened to a lot of metal for the past 5 or so years, today I just happened to get the urge to look up Dragonforce, been a fan since your 3rd album, and god damn I'm in love all over again
This is the perfect amount of cheese. The song is amazingly catchy too, and the visuals are on point! More please?
This is genuinely the greatest music video I have ever seen in my life
Dragonforce is what happens when you complete the main quest immediately and spend the rest of the game doing all the side quests.
I felt like time machine send me 30 years back 😁🤣👍🔥🔥
seeing Dragonforce with wig is equivalent to Ryan George wearing fake moustache over his real moustache
Sam and Herman sliding down fret together is such a bro moment
Gives me a 90's Vibe
This really makes me think of Journey but even more epic
As a Power metal fan, this is bloody amazing.
For 14 years now, DragonForce has been bringing joy to my life. Love you all
That this is available in 2160p just cracks me up!
I love this video so much. 80's kid forever. DragonForce is amazing.
Watch in 144p for true 80´s experience....
Get a great 80s vibe from this song. Makes me remember Asia, Survivor, Toto, and those classic bands.
man!!! the arcade ❤ pure 80s vibes sooo cool
This video is so an 80 style video. Him taking off both pairs of shades was awesome! And Herman and Sam sharing the guitar was 🤣🤣🤣
Una carta de amor a los 80s y en especial a los videojuegos y al metal que crecieron juntos, impecable
