DRAGONFORCE ( or Inland Invasion part2)

Holly crap I was surfing through Kotaku today and I found the following article about the guy in the previous post and I thought "Wow thats cool" as it reminded me of Mikes party story. So then I decided to check out the bands website to see what what there, and gentlemen, what I found was F'ing AWESOME!

Now I'm 100% sure that JZ is already a member for their fan club and check the forum often but for the rest of us, who don't listen to the soothing sounds of RAMMSTEIN to relax I give you ....
According to the Wikipedia: It would seem that DragonForce are an English Power Metal band formed in the UK back in 1999. The group is known for its fast paced songs, twin guitar solos (ok but if there are 2 guitars how is it a solo?), and incorporation of electronic sound effects into their music.

Jesus these guys are FUCKING METAL!!! Not that I particularly care for metal, but if I did... these guys might be my band of choice. The best part is their website these guys are like superheros, or better yet GI JOE figures each with their own file card that lists their talents almost like they were special powers. It's genius... check out their site with the link above you wont be disappointed. Here is just a sampling:


SAM TOTMAN
Lead/Rhythm Guitars & Backing Vocals

Signature Stage Moves
360degree tornado jump



VADIM PRUZHANOU
Keyboards & Backing Vocals

Signature Stage Moves
Getting derranged!




Now I know what you're thinking... We HAVE to see these guys live!
I agree and lucky us we have two chances coming up soon.

Fri Jul 11 - Sacramento - Sleep Train Amphitheatre
Sat Jul 12 -San Francisco - Shoreline Amphitheatre

Other preformers include:
Slipknot, Machine Head, Airbourne, Sevendust, Walls of Jericho, Disturbed, Mastodon, 36 Crazyfists, Underoath, The Red Chord, Suicide Silence, Five Finger Death Punch, and Black Tide.

So we all know that July 11th in fact someones birthday, so Im just saying... I think I gave my leather pants to Goodwill but they were getting a bit tight anyway. However, I think I still have my jacket in storage, with a little modification Id be ready to roll..... so let me know.

Dude, that is seriously awesome. I will have to hunt for my custom embroidered jean jacket with Metallica and Social Distortion on the back. Yeah, I said it, custom embroidered. Might be a little hot for leather pants, but I probably still have some sort of chain or spiked accessories I could wear to make up for it. Eyes of Lightning!!!1!!
