DRAGONFORCE IS CAUSING MAYHEM EVERYWHERE!
Fun times were had on July 15th when the Rockstar Mayhem Festival stopped by the Cricket Ampitheatre in Chula Vista, California.
Dragonforce graced these Chula Vistans with such powerful super-fast crunchy riffs that most were left with their faces rocked clean off. Well maybe not literally but I think you get the idea.
The Gauntlet was there taking pictures of these power metallers in action. Check 'em out here or by clicking below.

1. YULI BOMB SAID...
Are you fucking kidding me?! I saw these losers (DragonPuss) in Denver and they fuckin sucked! Don't take my word for it though, take the word of my friend I was with who started chanting "Fuck Dragonforce", en route to about another 500 or so people whoe followed suit! They suck dick! So does Airbourne! Fuck them and their 80's gay metal!!!
July 24, 5:28 AM
2. OGRE SAID...
Hair metal,death metal,industrial metal,metal metal i love it all dont be so narrow minded
July 24, 2:47 PM
3. STEVEN E SAID...
I heard they couldnt play good live as they did on there albums but ill have to wait and see.
July 24, 11:09 PM
4. P3ST1LENC3 SAID...
I saw Dragonforce in Denver, too. they were good but Fiddler's Green has horrible sound. It is not a venue for a festival should have been at Red Rocks.
July 25, 12:36 AM
5. FALGON SAID...
I saw Dragonforce in Kansas City, and many people who thought the band sucked before, ran off to go buy tons of their merchandise.
July 25, 10:31 AM
6. PYRO SAID...
Its wack band....that only exist because guitar hero chose them when no one wud......I HATE THEM...dont even compare them to slipknot..Hang on.dont compare any band to slipknot..just cant be done....ANYways..i saw them and wanted to kill myself.i owe slipknot one.they saved my ass.
July 25, 12:37 PM
7. CRYSJON SAID...
I agree, this stupid fa**ot hairband BS thats coming back is not even cool. Buisness in the front and fa**ot in the back haircuts and horrible lyrics. I am hitting up Mayhem fest but the only reason I am going is because of machine head and slipknot...these dragonforce guys just need to go away. What happedend to the good ol Pantera, Zombie, Biohazard style music....everything is being pussified.
July 25, 1:36 PM
8. CHASE SAID...
Just because Airboure and Dragonforce don't scream doesn't mean they suck!
July 25, 1:56 PM
9. PYRO SAID...
NO DUDE...THATS EXACTLY WHY THEY SUCK
July 25, 4:24 PM
10. MIKE SAID...
I just saw these guys Wed. in STL. My god do they SUCK!! How they even got on the Mayhem fest is beyond me. ANY band from the second or third stage would be a better choice to be put on the main stage then these losers. Machine Head on the little stage while these f@cks are one of the 4 chosen for the main stage!? C'MON!!!
July 25, 6:15 PM
11. SUPERIORASSASSIN SAID...
I can't stand you fucking metal heads. You do not have to scream and bleed from the ears to be a good band. DragonForce is one of the best bands on the stage. You are the same assholes that would say Slipknots third album sucked because Corey actually used his vocals rather than screaming for 45 minutes. Get a grip and learn what good music actually is.
July 25, 7:36 PM
12. NIKA SAID...
These men were AMAZING last night!!!
July 26, 11:29 AM
13. JACKI SAID...
I saw Dragonforce in STL and they fucking rocked. Everyone else can shove it up their ass....unless they can shred better then Herman Li.
July 26, 2:34 PM
14. MARCUSS SAID...
im goin to mayhem tomorrow and i do agree with some of u...but i have never seen them live before (dragonforce)...but i think machine head should be on the main stage instead of mastodon...i just cant get into them...but machine head is way better in my opinion then mastodon....but yea....metal isnt always about screaming...but u DO need a few screams....but i do think we all have one thing in common...and that is RAP SUCKS...cant stand that shit...mayhem tomorrow..WOOOOO!!!!
July 26, 2:41 PM
15. MATT SAID...
Dragonforce is making music for the chicks and faggots who think they are chicks including these faggots on stage!trust me
i was at the stl show too and they couldn't even play their solo so theres your answer these bitches are like hanson
July 26, 4:05 PM
16. RANDOM MAGGOT SAID...
last year at ozzfest, there were only a few people in the pavilion and some on the lawn the who time they were playing, i was cracking up, especially when they "keytarist" ran around like ther were being cheered for, lol... some of the people even left...

19. COREY SAID...
fuck anyone who doesn't like dragonforce. herman li is an amazing guitarist and no fucking screamo band has anything on zp theart's vocals. oh and as for there live performances they are usually hammered most of the time, and no band sounds exactly like they do on their album live. so fuck all you faggots who think dragforce sucks.
July 27, 10:39 PM
20. TYLER SAID...
Listen up. If you don't like Dragonforce, shut the fuck up about bashing them. Many people, such as myself are huge Dragonforce fans, along with the other bands such as Disturbed and Slipknot. We like some of the same bands. There's bands we like that you don't and vice versa. So shut the fuck up and take the penis's out of your butts and quit being little whiny-ass bitches.
DRAGONFORCE RULES!
July 28, 12:56 AM
21. ASHLEY SAID...
I saw them yesterday. And as for the people that though they sucked, that is your own opinion and people follow anything to make themselves fit in. They play just as well as on their albums, and if you don't like them then don't see them, and leave everyone else who does like them alone.
July 28, 9:19 AM
22. BUBS SAID...
ive heard dragonforce sucks live as well, im going to this on aug. 5th and i really hope im proved wrong. these guys need to make the price worth it because im sure slipknot and disturbed wont.
July 28, 10:09 AM
23. PYRO SAID...
OMFG!!!!!you must be like a coldplay or good charlet rip off look alike....ha ha ha ha...
DRAGONFORCE SUX ASS.....they dont even have anything to show for anything..its sad all you ordinary people think like that..hmmm maybe its the big hair and the....ummm..no that it.fucking FAIRYFORCE is more like it....
July 28, 6:58 PM
24. JROTCSOILDER SAID...
awww dont hate cuz u probably had back seats near the bathroom.
July 29, 10:05 AM
25. ROBBIE SAID...
Ok. Listen and listen good! I went to Mayhem Festival in Phoenix, AZ @ Cricket Pavillion. Which is a great venue. Front row, Pit seat. I went to see Distured. Not Slipknot, not Dragonforce. HOWEVER, not only did I see Drangonforce and LOVE them, (And That Is Not My Type Of Music AT ALL) But I meet the band and they are amaing guys. Herman Li is a god, alone with the rest of the band. So for all of you little btiches talking all your shit about how great Slipkot is and how bad Dragon force was let me state three things to you. 1. Slipknot is nothing but a rip-off of a very great group called Mushroomhead. 2) Dragonforce is a very talented group. Just becuase it's bot the type of music YOU prefer doesn't mean they suck. You suck for being so close minded. 3) If you're STILL stuck on "Oh Dragonforce Sucks", F*ck YOU. Know why? Cuz the day you can get up on a stage and play or sing like them and make EVERYONE in the crowd happy then you can say they suck with good reason, but until then STOP BEING SO CLOSE MINDED & SHUT YOUR F*CKING MOUTH!
July 30, 4:02 AM
26. TYLER SAID...
Yeah Robbie. I agree 100%. Pyro is a cunt. Dragonforce is great. I can't wait to go see them and meet them. F*uck everyone who bashes them.
July 30, 7:08 PM
27. OLD GREGG SAID...
Saw Dragonforce in Houston, they played a helluva lot better than they did when they played in the No Fear tour with Killswitch. it actually looked like Sam cleaned up his act so he played with Herman alot better, and ZP was actually hitting his notes. In Operation Ground and Pound, at No Fear he didnt do that endind yell whatever you wanna call it, but just some random thing and it angered me, but now in mayhem he hit it perefectly and I WAS AMAZED. I have been a Dragonforce Fan since before GH2 even came out so don't worry I am not a GH bandwagon jumper
August 2, 1:39 PM
28. JUSTIN SAID...
I saw these guys live in denver and to me if your a fan of dragonforce the show fucking kicked ass the crowd clearly got into it with the intense bottle fight and mosh pits every where do if your a hater and dont like the sound shut the fuck up and go listen to your pussy AFI shit

3. KEITH SAID...
this actually looks like a good episode for only being an hour long i wanna see carnifex, underaoth, white chapel, shadows fall
August 30, 11:07 AM
4. SEAN SAID...
I have to give credit where credit is due... MTV has definitely started showing more commercials during the week promoting Headbangers Ball since they cut back the the length of the show. Now if only they could play less commercials during the show, and more gnarly videos instead, everyone would be happy.
August 30, 12:43 PM
5. ATR SAID...
Sean, what in the world are u watching on MTV during the week? Do you like to toss a little Jonas Brothers in with ur metal?
August 30, 4:42 PM
6. BO SAID...
Dragonforce.What is it with that band?.They suck.Very badly.Saw them at Mayhem and they were even gayer than Disturbed.They sound like Dio singing for Trivium.I don't get it.
August 31, 12:39 AM
7. 666 MAGGOT SAID...
Dragonforce doesn't suck.
August 31, 4:28 PM
8. ATR SAID...
Bullshit, they totally suck ass. Every songs sounds the same. Vocals suck! They're super gay, fucking 80's style.
August 31, 5:01 PM
9. 666 MAGGOT SAID...
nothing makes them gay. and there's nothing wrong with 80's metal style.
August 31, 5:31 PM
10. NICK SMITH AKA MOLOTOV SAID...
Actually, I kind of enjoy a little dose of Dragonforce every now and again. The cheesiness of them is just fucking classic. I practically just bust out laughing while listening to them.
Slipknot, however, is inferior and gay as fuck.
August 31, 7:17 PM
11. GRADY SAID...
It's an ok list.Could have been alot better though.Headbangers Ball seems to be going to crap.They should play more classic Metal vids.They got Heaven And Hell, but that's surprising.How about some more Pantera, Megadeth, Exodus, Death, Testament etc.? It would have been good to see the "Psychosocial" video too.Good to see Lamb Of God, Hatebreed, and Shadows Fall though.
August 31, 10:31 PM
12. DAVID SAID...
Dragonforce sucks.... they are just noise... hey let me hear a 8 minute solo of video game noises... i agree that it is dio singing for trivium.... that singer needs some balls... saw them at mayhem... they were so loud you couldnt hear the music....
September 2, 12:26 PM
13. 666 MAGGOT SAID...
they ain't noise.
September 2, 1:44 PM
14. ATR SAID...
Consensus is that they suck. Their new album is fucking trash!
September 2, 3:49 PM
15. MIKE SAID...
Dragonforce is rocking everybody!!
September 3, 8:50 PM
16. DAVID SAID...
so what everyone is saying is that dragonforce isn't crap... im sorry but they are not the best band around here to get that much support. i would have picked a different band to be on the stage at mayhem.
September 4, 5:53 PM
17. BILLY SAID...
Ok, can someone answer this for me? Ok, other than sure stupidity, douchebagery, and/or nothing better to do with their seemingly pathetic lives - is there any reason there are idiots who like to let everyone know how much they HATE DragonForce, who also happen to go to their profile on this website, and say it there?
September 5, 4:28 PM
18. JASON DUPUIS SAID...
Fuck anyone who says dragonforce suck they fuckin rock headbangers ball fuckin rocks

SUNDAY ROADRUNNER BLOG ROUNDUP
Corey Bayless over at Citizen Image got deep in the pit at the opening day of the Mayhem festival. Read about Slipknot, Airbourne, and DragonForce. (UPDATE: Seems to have fixed some of his factual errors.)
Speaking of DragonForce, www.thetanooki.com reports on the band opening a set on the festival in California with a certain video game theme song. Find out that DragonForce opener and tell The Tanooki if the band's ever played their own songs on Guitar Hero.

2. ROB SAID...
Oh NO! jesus christ man! what did that dude write? Slipknot is Deathmetal? haha dude, chill out man. Damn i want the All hope is gone now album!! i cant wait any longer!
July 13, 5:08 PM
3. DANIEL SAID...
I'm a huge slipknot fan but dude slipknot is not death metal, there are death metal influences in the music but they are not death metal.
July 13, 9:53 PM
4. BROCK SAID...
Jim is number 4? Not number 7? This guy thinks Slipknot is death metal and he also has no idea who is what number.
July 14, 2:26 AM
5. BROCK SAID...
Here's a list of things I found wrong. Slipknot is not death metal. Dragonforce is one word. Jim Root is number 4, not number 7. Disturbed?s Ten Thousand Fists isn?t new. Corey Taylor isn?t really known better as #8. This article was poorly supported.
July 14, 2:34 AM
6. J SAID...
That Article was garbage. The writer should have did some research on the band before even writing this article.
July 14, 6:03 AM
7. JEREMY ROSEN SAID...
You guys should probably go post that stuff on their site's too. Spread a little knowledge.
July 14, 8:27 AM
8. MATT SAID...
Indeed, Inside the Fire is Disturbed's newest single. Jim is 4...Mick is 7. I'll give him an E for effort but if you're going to write for Roadrunner Records Web site...Know your fucking Bands.
July 14, 3:49 PM
9. ROB SAID...
I now that slipknot isent playing deathmetal genre. I dont care, Sk is playing good music and that is all about it
July 14, 4:31 PM

DRAGONFORCE, LAMB OF GOD, HATEBREED VIDEOS
So I was wandering around the Mayhem Festival at the Nassau Coliseum on Wednesday and I run into these PETA folks giving away Lamb of God DVDs in exchange for signing a petition against something or other. They seemed to avoid me. Probably because I was wearing this shirt.
At any rate, we've got a new Headbangers Ball lineup for you today featuring not only Lamb of God, but our very own DragonForce! There's also a new video from former Roadrunner band Hatebreed and every RoadrunnerRecords.com reader's favourite band: The Devil Wears Prada.
Here's the lineup for tonight from 12AM - 1AM on MTV2
HATEBREED - LIVE FOR THIS (live) (Headbangers Ball Exclusive premiere)
THE GATES OF SLUMBER - TRAPPED IN THE WEB
LAMB OF GOD - WALK WITH ME IN HELL
DRAGONFORCE - HEROES OF OUR TIME (Headbangers Ball debut)
STRAIGHT LINE STITCH - BLACK VEIL
HATE ETERNAL - I, MONARCH
ARISE AND RUIN - BOUND BY BLOOD
MESHUGGAH - BLEED
IMPENDING DOOM - MY NEMESIS
*KORN - BLIND
THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA - HTML RULEZ DOOD

Lamb of God's music is amazing, but when it comes to their personal views they're fucking liberal hippie douchebags tricked by mainstream media. Fuck PETA and Obama. Ok, enough about political bullshit.

Dragonforce is putting out another amazing album this year and you can get a taste of it right now!
A video for "Heroes of Our Time", one of the metal speed anthems from the upcoming album Ultra Beatdown, just premiered on MySpace yesterday and is already being raved about by Myspacers all over the country! The video is featured on the music page and the band is also on the "Myspace Secret Shows" page as they brought their power metal thunder to a secret show at El Corazon in Seattle, WA last week.
Watch Heroes of Our Time now and get an Ultra Beatdown!

1. DOUGMROCK SAID...
Everything these fools does sounds the friggin same. I keep trying to find something that sounds just a little bit different, and it all just sounds like Manowar on speed. It's really not impressive watching solo's played at the speed of sound with no feeling at all, and structured exactly the same. They need a lesson from bands like Dream Theater or Firewind!!
July 10, 12:53 PM
2. SAMHAIN SAID...
Dream Theater blows!
July 10, 1:01 PM
3. NICK SMITH AKA MOLOTOV SAID...
Dragonforce kicks ass. The cheesiness of these guys as well as the talent is undeniable.
Of course, in terms of musical talent, they run circles around Slipknot as well.
July 10, 1:09 PM
4. ARMANDO SAID...
Awesome solos, but the ending sounded kinda gay
July 10, 1:29 PM
5. JORDAN SAID...
haha nick smith your silly
July 10, 2:01 PM
6. JOHNNY SLAPNUTS SAID...
Slipknot is a friggin joke x 10 ZP is a much better singer than Corey Taylor and can actually carry a note for a decent length of time Corey needs to just get back w/ stone sour and stay with them for good and disown slipknot.
July 10, 3:34 PM
1. SAM ROON SAID...
Kevin Hodapp published the earliest photographs of Metallica and other bands of the time befriending the Zazula's in their prime and gaining access to some awesome bands!
