Definitely Power Metal and having seen them live I can confirm that Herman and Sam can play this song (the full version, not this short one) note perfect.
Garbage music and band
@@joelramsey9639 okay 🤷♀️
@@joelramsey9639 and garbage taste and opinion. Look up Dragonforce reactions just to trash em? That's really sad.
They can play it live ridiculously well… when they aren’t too drunk. Which is a 50/50 coin toss.
@@pro-v7500 "ridiculously well" lmao
This song in guitar hero was an important part of my childhood, as well as my introduction to rock music in general, guitar hero has so many great songs! Cheers guys! Great reaction. 🙌🏻🔥
My man!
AYEE Andy and Alex!!
Andy and Alex you guys got me into reaction videos! Spirit of radio
Hyperspeed 2, expert difficulty. Doubt I could do that now though ha
this song in any Musical game is considered the Elite; there is no harder song to master then this one right here ;)
Im 99% sure this song on Guitar Hero gave me tendonitis trying to beat it on expert.
Still flares up all these years later.
I still have carpal tunnel from trying to best it on guitar hero too
shoulda been playing RockSmith...
I read ur comment quickly and thought you said you got a 99% on this song on GH, and was about to call BOOOSHIT! But then I remembered you could turn down the difficulty. lol Yea, this gave me carpal tunnel too, but it was SO FUN!
Played it daily just to be able to finish on medium,as my 🎸 playing brother could do it on expert. My eyes could Never believe he played most everything on expert. It can be done,never by myself lol.
I played this song medium when i was my best form.. but i played with gamepad and not a guitar controller. :D
But as Duane mention that.. this song in Rocksmith... That is a crasy thing. I tried i truly tried but i cant reach the 5% of the notes level. :D
Maybe one day i can play it almost 30% :D Dreamin' big you know!
I couldn't get enough of this song when it came out. What's crazy is that you only heard the edited version for the official video, there's like 2 more minutes of guitar solos in the original

The full version is so much better than this "single edit".
@@Hauntti true, 4:02 - 6:05 in the original song is my favorite part and most of it gets cut out.
@@Hauntti That just goes without saying.
I’m pretty sure DragonForce would fall under the category of Melodic Power Metal
Always thought of it as Speedmetal. So basically fast PowerMetal.
@@christophertresp7037 yeah basically power metal is a branch of speed metal
Speed metal is has elements of hardcore punk and biker metal as well as elements of late 70's British metal. Just because it's fast don't make it any thing more than power metal.
It's labeled as "Extreme" Power Metal
I could see them with many subgenre labels... power metal, speed metal, mythology metal, I could see 'melodic metal' (new sub genre to me),
This is power metal, characterized by fast, technical guitars, basses and drums with very melodic riffs. And of course a great voice by the singers. Not my favorite metal genre, but I can appreciate the virtuosity that this genre brings.
Power metal was initiated in the late 80s by bands like Helloween and others.
Also the lyrics are often of an epic nature. Ascending to the heavens, unleashing the hounds of hell, victory in battle, honorable death in battle, being strong, blah blah blah... also not just Helloween but a big chunk of the NWOBHM including Iron Maiden and to a greater degree Judas Priest kind of gave birth to this genre, or at least the prototype, but this is next-level power metal. Turned up to 11.
@@glaframb speed metal is a very ambiguous term in my opinion, it has been coined and related to many genres like thrash, power, and heavy metal. So, you can say that it has the element of speed, like those other genres as well.
As someone who grew up on Hair/Glam Metal, Thrash Metal and what we now call Traditional Metal in the 80s, I have actually grown to prefer Power Metal over the others. As the double bass drum with the galloping rhythm and stronger power chords gets my attention more. However, that's not to say I don't like Thrash or Traditional Metal anymore, because I do, it's just that I find that Power Metal has a bit more of that Classical Music element in Metal than other genres. Because you know, Metal is really just a blend of Classical Music and The Blues, right?
@@glaframb Speed Metal is something you could apply to any genre of Metal that doesn't really fit into other genres. Megadeth for example was always co sidereal to be a Thrash Metal band, but if you listen to the structure of the riffs, they don't really have that Chug effect that Thrash is known for. Furthermore, Megadeth is clearly not Power Metal, for the lack of the galloping drum and bass lines, and higher pitched vocals, so it could and really should be characterized as Speed Metal because it's fast (for the most part) and has rough vocals. DragonForce is almost a different animal altogether. They're either Extreme Speed Metal or Extreme Power Metal. I'd go with the latter, because their song structure and themes are very obviously Power Metal, but played at such Speed and technicality that you almost have to apply the Extreme pejorative to it.
Brad & Lex, DragonForce is known to incorporate video game sounds within their guitar solos. It's just what they do.
Love this song so much. This version cuts out a huge amount of epicness and its sad, so for your own sake go back and listen to the full version. Absolutely worth it
thats the sad thing, they won't
these reaction are one-shot.
Welcome to the world of Power Metal! I have been waiting for you guys to get into this genre for awhile. Power metal has it's roots in 80's metal primarily Judas Priest and Iron Maiden, but as you can tell it's much faster. Lots of bands in this genre, I really hope you dive in. Power metal revived my interest in music with this video actually, and then I started listening to all the bands in this genre. There is a lot here, strap in! Man, do some Sonata Arctica, Edguy, Avantasia, Blind Guardian...fun, fast, melodic music!
Fun fact about the asian guitarist, Herman Li, he often streams playing music or just hanging out with other band friends and musicians (the other guitarist is a regular guest on his streams afaik).
He used to stream on Twitch but the automated copyright system flagged and banned his account for breaking DMCA, problem is he was playing his own music!
Last I heard he moved to TH-cam to stream lol
Just watching that guitar duel always amazes me. He takes a bit to have a quick drink, slow and calm, no hurry, calmly leans down and sets the bottle on the stage floor, and *instantly* goes to his guitar and proceeds to go ham.
When you're that confident that you can time your start to the precise moment your friend stops his part, you have achieved true mastery of a song.
Unleash the Archers - Awakening is a fantastic power metal example and really shows off the musicianship of all the members.
They've reacted to Unleash the Archers before, they didn't do Awakening but they did react to Tonight We Ride.. UTA and Dragonforce can go into the same speed/power metal category easily..
Love UTA! I discovered them listening to their cover of "Northwest Passage" from a facebook posting and fell in love with the band in an instant
I saw them live back in 2007 and took my Dad to see them…. They kept this energy through the whole concert..My dad had see Led Zepplin, The Who and other icons live before but he said that this concert was probably the best one he’s ever been too.
This came out in 2006 and is generally categorized as power metal or speed metal. There are so many sub genres of metal now it's mind-blowing.
Keep in mind, that really fast kick (bass) drum pattern uses a paddle apparatus that allows you to use both your left and right foot to operate the pedal on the kick drum, rather than just your right foot only traditionally. At one point, Lamb of God set a speed record on the kick drum of 420 beats per minute (bpm), which is about 7 beats per second.
...it is mind blowing! One of the million "Music Choice" channels on my cable tv is "Metal", but it is not metal as I knew and love...it is horrible.However, the "Rock" channel sounds more like what I grew up with as " metal"...then there is the "Alt channel" and the "Adult alt "channel...also not what they were in the 80s and 90s..times have changed,.hard to keep up. ...When I was a teenager, Led Zeppelin, Glen Campbell and Abba were all played on the same AM channel...in the family Ford Pinto
@@raymo6795 Relatable.
Check out Spencer from Archspire. He'll play faster than 420 bpm with one hand when he's gravity-blasting. That dude's from another planet.
@@vorpalblades Sweet!

I love how you both carefully word your reactions. Thinking before speaking is a rare gift
Welcome to the black magic of musicality known as "speed metal." Watching the rapidly morphing expression of incredulity on Lex's face as she was trying to process the insanity was golden. Seen it many times when people first hear Dragonforce. No studio tricks, no layering tracks, just pure, superhuman speed and dexterity all around. DragonForce is insane. Another great track to check out is "Soldiers of the Wasteland."
More accurately it's "extreme" power metal
It's power metal foo
DragonForce isn't speed metal, it's sped up Metal. Agent Steel is Speed Metal.
I would agree with Speed Metal. I put them in the same category as bands like Annihilator, Artillery, Blaze Bayley, Ygnwie Malmsteen and I would argue 3 Inches of Blood with at least half of their songs (Men of Fortune being a great example). It's cleaner, lacking the crunchy/dirty sound of Thrash, and doesn't rely very much on, if at all, the galloping, triplet feel for speed. Power Metal, in my opinion goes all in on a fantasy sound and feel. Great example of that would be: Dragonland, Tyr, and Rhapsody/Rhapsody of Fire. That's MY definition and I get other's may have other personal definitions. I'm just explaining where I'm coming from and where my lines are.
This is not speed metal. GTFO
Hats off to the drummer. full tilt the whole time. hell ya
Welcome to the genre "Power Metal". Dragonforce is a newer band, but they have been around a while. They are still active. I spoke with their drummer new year's eve on his twitch stream.
Fun fact: The guitarist you see drinking a beer during the dueling guitar solo, had already had 12 beers by the time they had started recording the video. He did this whole thing while drunk.
That sounds very in character for Sam, though I've heard he has since cut back on pre-show consumption for the sake of performance quality.
When I saw this song on my subscription feed I was like wowww…. Can’t wait to see Lex react to this❣️ Did not disappoint.
You two are awesome. Happy New Year!!!🎊
You have to check their cover of Jonny Cash's "Ring of Fire". Dragonforce is an acquired taste. Some don't like the speed they're playing. They are fantastic live and had the chance to meet them. Very humble guys.
Haha, the speed is the only thing that made them good, what would be left without that? Just some cheesy Pop-HardRock.
I saw them play live in 2017 at a venue the size of a Jimmy John’s. It is to this day one of the best concerts I've ever been to.
As others have mentioned, DragonForce is power metal. Power metal usually has soaring vocals and guitars, and there's usually an epicness to the music/story being told. There's also a lot of double-base or beats that seem to hop through the song and work over 4 or 8 beats. Thrash metal is most often a lot crunchier (often palming the strings on the guitars), the singing still has notes but the growls are still there (as opposed to false-chord growls like Arch Enemy). There will be a lot more blast beats and often the drums either keep a basic rhythm with a lot of quick fills (such as Lars in Metallica) or they sound more like a machine gun firing (See, for instance, Divine Heresy on their song Facebreaker from the album "Bringer of Plagues."
Herman Lee (one of the guitarists) is a frequent twitch streamer nowadays who does a lot of music content. Some of it is interesting stuff and he does funny interviews with other famous guitarists.
This is the short version. The full version has slightly extended intro and outro, way longer guitar solos in the middle, and most importantly imo, an epic bridge which is left out of this version.
I absolutely love this song and the precision is insane! Brad ought to like this one because at the end of Guitar Hero Three you play this one in the closing credits of the game. Herman Li is a guitar beast!
The guitarist in the white shirt in the video is Herman Li from Dragonforce. Roughly a year ago he did a charity event (on his twitch) for the lead who is battling a terrible disease, and he played this with TheDooo. It was awesome to see him still shred like this.
If you guys haven't done Awakening by Unleash the Archers, I highly suggest it
Came to suggest this and BabyMetal, Road of Resistance, live in Japan, since DragonForce co-wrote it
Yes, yes, yes!
overrated. why do you all choose awakening when they have so many better songs?
its like youre all the same generic people all asking for the same things over and over... and even worse, its the WRONG things.
how do you all have the same demented thought patterns and opinions?
@@adameves5970 Because I like irritating muppets like you who have tantrums to something that doesn't even affect them.
@@JaggedDagger IKR! My fav is "Abyss" but "Awakening" is a good starting point. Love our NORTHERN BROs!
Kings of powermetal. They are undeniably brilliant at what they do. I saw this line up twice live, and they were unbeliavably good, and huge fun to watch.
You have entered the realm of Power Metal🤘🏼.
May i suggest:
Rhapsody- unholy warcry
- Emerald Sword
Luca turilli- Black Dragon
- prophet of the last Eclipse
2:25 - It's called Power Metal
I love you both with all of my heart.
Lexi is so confused but loves it all, she don’t know what rhythm to follow
You have just witness history in the making. Dragon force definitely are a band to check out and the guitarists are on a next planet level. Great to see your true reactions to this song. Fun fact Brad should have heard this song already from a game. I won't sell it out. Great review and great reaction 👏👏👏👏
That is just a good head banging power metal ! Never get sick of this video.
Heroes of Our Time is another awesome blistering power metal beauty from Dragonforce.
It's funny watching this channel seeing Lex slowly define and describe sounds, she's basically teaching herself the history of music and genres.
I think Lex got more out of this one than Brad did. I was surprised neither one of you mentioned the drummer. Both the guitarists demonstrate amazing reflexive speed and accuracy. Most guitarists can't play even the wrong notes that fast. The guitar duet in this song reminds me of the guitar duet at the end of Hotel California by the Eagles; except on steroids. Tina S does an interesting cover of the guitar parts from this song, where she plays both the guitar parts. Herman Li of Dragonforce posted a very positive reaction video about her playing. You guys are great by the way.
Power metal all the way! The way you tell a lot of the time is by the melodies guitar solos and a powerful singer. A lot of the songs will be as to sing along to as well. My favorite genre of metal! Keep up the good work I really.enjoy your videos.
*FAST!* Yep, you guys hit that one pretty spot on for a title caption. Maybe I'm weird, but I found that note completely fantastic.
Happy new year to a great couple!!!!
At the end when you hear the guitar go “Waaaa bow” was the sound of the string snapping
Lex at 3:24 is funny. Love it!
I genuinely thought Lex was gonna fall out of that chair as she kept getting closer and closer to the screen to watch the guitarists!
It's interesting that you're never impressed and your "better half" is always super impressed 😂
5:38 his guitar string broke during the live recording :)
True story:
This song gained popularity on Guitar Hero as the most difficult song - obviously.
My wife of 12 years now is a 4th generation musician here in Detroit. The 1st time I went to her parents house when we were dating, I heard this song's guitar solo BLASTING from the upstairs.
Me: "Who's that upstairs?"
Wifey: "That's my 16 year old little bro. "
Me: *not realizing what level of musicians I was dealing with yet
"Oh cool. So the little guy likes guitar hero?"
Wifey: "That's him! Don't ever say guitar hero in this house or he'll kill you."
TL/DR: My GF's lil bro was shredding this song on his guitar upstairs and i thought he was playing guitar hero.
Thank you both for the reaction video of a truly great song 🤘🏼🤘🏼
Herman Li is an amazing guitarist. I love watching his gear tests on the DragonForce channel.
the funny thing is that nobody talks about the other guitarist, it's even unfair.
Sam is arguably better.
Sam wrote their hit songs. he deserves way more attention and credit. not that herman isnt great btw
I honestly love all your reactions. You just got a new subscriber. Happy New Year
Now that you've seen this try Junna drum cover of this song. Simply amazing! 🤘🏻
This song is from 2005, DragonForce tour tickets are on sale now for 2022.
Lex is loving it. Brad looks like he’s in shock.
Happy New Year, love you guys! Hope you have a great 2022!!
My wife and I used to compete who gets a higher score playing this on an Xbox controller in GH3. I would get back from work on her day off to a "took me a day, but I beat your score!" right at the door. That went on for a while, good times))
Lex was feeling those solo's. Love it!
I would classify them as "Speed Metal". Speed Metal was a record label created off shoot of Thrash, which Megadeth promoted themselves as in their early career. Another band that I can remember that fell under this genre was a band called Riot. While not as fast as Dragonforce, they did have faster tempos and the more operatic style vocals.
It's power metal
Power Metal all the way, cannot wait to see them live in a couple of months they begin a USA tour.
They are incredibly good live, never miss a note, can vouch, have seen them live a couple of times!
Woo hoo ..love the reaction!! Head bangers yeah!!
I love how Lex cuts into the topic every time immediately, she real feel it)
Mesmerized by the alternating solos… we were all watching your reaction because we knew it was coming. Y’all were captivated. 👍🏼 Not really my thing but I appreciate talent. Keep it diverse! Love you guys, checking out Rap God next!
It's called "Quest Metal" and you should be proud to be introduced to it 😂😂
Your involvement as viewers of this video is determined by only one criterion - whether you notice during Herman's solo the fact that Sam drinks beer.
You followed the solo. You deserve a like. And I just love ur reactions, Brad & Lex, keep do in what u do in :)
I recommend you to listen to Avantasia, great group. My fav songs are Wonderland, The scarecrow and The seven angels.
FINALLY!!! You’ve discovered POWERMETAL!!! Bout friggin time! 😆
Hi guys.
The looks on your faces made me chuckle quite a bit. 😁
As much as I know a lot of this didn't make sense to you, I'm going to request a reaction to a cover of this song.
The artist is Tina Setkic, better known as Tina S.
She uploaded this cover in 2016, she was 17 years old.
She very suddenly disappeared from the public eye in 2017 after sharing her cover of Ludwig Van Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata (3rd Movement) on her TH-cam channel.
She has also covered Van Halen, Steve Vai, Megadeth, Metallica, Vinny Moore, and many more.
And her reason for covering such intense and complex songs?
"Because they're difficult to play." - Tina S.-
There are many guesses as to why she disappeared.
From, "She took a break to go to college" to even suggesting she died. 😬
Guitar player Herman Li, from DragonForce did a livestream where he reacted to this cover and was completely blown away stating that this may very well be the best cover of this song out there.
From loss for words, to swearing, he couldn't believe this young girl is the new record holder for the best cover of "Through the Fire and Flames".
I hope to see this reaction, I know Lex is going to enjoy it and I say that because I know guitar is her thing. 👍
th-cam.com/video/XpASSx0ecTU/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for the video, reaction and comments. Stay safe and stay blessed.
😊❤🤘🤘
This band can do it LIVE too!, I was sceptical till I saw em Live, thought it was studio tricks. Great Band! Peace!
Man this song brings back memories of playing Guitar Hero for days! lol
please do Tina S covering this, you've watched her before on the Beethoven moonlight sonata video
Abso-freakin-lutley
I loved her reaction to the entire song! metal heads love this song. so it's fucking cool to see other people's reactions! weather you liked the song or not, you still bop to it🤘❤
Aquillies priester is that insane drummer, there's videos of him testing different drums and cymbals
So glad you got the video on this one.
Usually everyone says the guitars are amazing... And they are. But really give the drums a listen. That shit sounds fucking difficult
1,000 different ways to play gallops and triplets.
It’s power metal/speed metal
Dragonforce plays in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. on April 13 and another amazing band Battle Beast from Finland is opening for them. If you have time check them out.
Dude,I've never heard this song.Them drums. ..It kicks ass
You should try the JUNNO drum cover as well. Your minds will be blown how a little could could play this song almost perfectly.
You need to check out Junno doing a drum cover of this song. Dragonforce's drummer says it is his favourite cover.
Junno's vid (no reaction): Vid: th-cam.com/video/UKr1H4Jv6is/w-d-xo.html
Dragonforce drummer's reaction: th-cam.com/video/2M2Hv5GuSn4/w-d-xo.html
Tina S. also does a cover of this song and Herman Li (the guitarist) reacted to that.
Tina S. vid: th-cam.com/video/XpASSx0ecTU/w-d-xo.html
Herman li's reaction to Tina: th-cam.com/video/k6b_IyM42hc/w-d-xo.html
Such a legendary band and song. And Herman and Sam are as good (and fast) as this seems. Having not finished the video, I can see Lex really liking this and Brad absolutely hating it..lol.
We used to call it "speed metal". Perfect for getting pumped before going out.
Heros of Our Time absolutely has to be next!!
You're going to love this song barely an inconvenience. wow wow wow wow
What’s amazing with this song isn’t the speed and technicality, though those are clearly impressive. What is do amazing is that they all hold the tempo so steady. I would think there would be an urge to either speed up or slow down with everything going on. I agree with another commenter; seek out the full version.
Like others have said, unfortunately you only heard the shortened version of the song. The full length version has about 2 more minutes of music, mostly guitar solos. Don’t have to react to it, but you owe it to yourself to watch it. Great reaction.
Power Metal, check out Lovebites Scream for Me live Daughters of the Dawn
Soothsayer by Buckethead!!! Best way to ring in the new year
Remember beating this on g-hero 3 on expert when the game came out and I felt so accomplished lmao. The "unhuman achievement" on xbox. Ah what a time
Perfect song to end the year on guys!
Saw them live once back in the day. They put on a good show
Hooray, finally. Know a couple of these guys pretty well, good people
you two for sure need to check out some Documentaries "Heavy - the Story of Metal, Metal - a Head Bangers Journey, Metal Evolution" It Will get you on track with your timelines and Subgenre's
now i wanna watch dragon ball
The full version of this song has about another minute of soloing in it.
This song came out around 2005. Power metal. Bands like Rhapsody of fire, unleash the archers, blind guardian, beast in black, stratovarius, gloryhammer etc. are considered power metal. They can have elements of classic heavy metal as well. Imo classic heavy metal bands like Dio, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden and Manowar, Yngwie Malmsteen influenced the genre that became power metal.
That Guitarist is what would happen if Eddie Van Halen and Stevie Ray Vaughn had a child !
Everyone loves to talk about the guitars but no love for the drummer killing it
They're still here. Extreme Power Metal. Saw em in 2022. Peace!
2:20 As to the genre of the song: It's technically power metal, but it's a subset of that known as speed metal
You should check out anything by Lovebites, an all female band from Japan that plays same type of power metal, they even toured with Dragonforce before the pandemic.
I only know this song from guitar hero as I don’t typically listen to this sort of music but I remember reading a long time ago that this song is written through the eyes of a dragon, and I think that’s awesome 🥰
bro her face and brain was melting oh my god its music that will heal the world of all hatred one day i swear
