"Dragonforce is a terrible band."

submission: Through the Fire&Flames(Piano)

date: May 28, 2008

All of their songs sound the same, and the guitarists are just two drunks that know their way around a harmonic minor and a japanese scale. I can't listen to two of their songs in a row. Hell, I play better than Herman Li does during a typical live gig.

With that out of the way, from the description, you seem to slave over arranging notes in a program for these highly repetitive DF songs. With Dragonforce slapped on top of it, it automatically becomes awesome. Or it could be a simple midi rip from Guitar Pro. Either way, I really don't think it's worth your time as a musician.

I recommend writing your own music, the feeling is incredible, and the amount of expression and power you can put into a single composition can easily inspire more pieces for yourself and other people, and soon enough, you feel music and recognize that it's more than this overrated crap Dragonforce puts out.

"I <3 shred"

Crazy, of course, but were you in a different key starting around 0:32? Or was that chromatic fiddling? ;)

"Neat song"

submission: The Egyptian Symphony Of Death

date: May 22, 2008

I think a delicious harmonic minor solo could've fit in there somewhere very nicely, but otherwise, great arrangement with the stringed instruments and guitar riffs what not.

Really nice sounding synth guitars too.

"Woah"

submission: Sorohan/Noir - Arpegio study 1

date: May 3, 2008

While my version was just mindless wanking over a scale, you added feeling and you kinda put the song in a new direction, I like yours a lot more :D

Score: 6

"Eh."

submission: Fucking Metal (farcrydx)

date: April 19, 2008

Sounds like a collection of riffs with some drums in the background. Good production and drumlines, but it's kind of repetitive and has that very generic metal formula. I've heard it all before, this honestly isn't very unique.

I mean, it doesn't really go anywhere, gets kind of irritating to a point. Like I said before; it sounds very sectioned, like you just put some riffs together. That affects the general flow of the song I think. Try and make effective use and variation of your riffs so that it flows naturally.

Try something new is really all I'm saying. Also; I can't hear the bass unless it's just sitting on one note the whole song and being drowned out by the frequency of the bass drum.

Score: 0

"Thief."

submission: The new Eruption!

Please don't take someone else's work and claim you made it. It's illegal, dude.

You didn't make this with your friend, this is Eddie Van Halen, the ORIGINAL RECORDING. How do you expect to get away with that?

"EQ your guitar, but keep doing everything else."

submission: Halo-Lone Rider {DEMO V2}

date: March 22, 2008

Everything was pieced together very well, the orchestra, piano, etc. But your guitar tone is absolutely terrible. Very noisy and fuzzy. All the other instruments are fantastic though.
