Yay... just seen them for the 2nd time this year.
4/5 Great performance, but little too much banter, not enough insane shredding guitar
Also for a 14yrs plus concert, a wee few too many occurances of the words "see you next tuesday", FCUK, and references to drug taking.
The crowd due to the youngness of them were in fact crap, when dragonforce stopped singing to hear us singing, there were about 3 of us singing it. They were only interested in beating the sh*t out of each other in death circles.
Heard one say "oh wow!!! last that remains rocked!!! but firewind and dragonforce are crap". Last that remains is basically slipknot ripoff without any talent except one lead guitarist who belongs in dragonforce or firewind more than that "band".
Support bands... as mentioned above, firewind was absolutely amazing, got the crowd going, and the music was great! it was very very similar to watching iron maiden play live. The lead singer sounded exactly like bruce. Certainly on my "too buy" list.
Last that remains was crap... noise, distortion, and just power chords, accompanied by an overly long and repetative solo by one of their guitarists.
Verse Chorus Verse Chorus SOOOOOOOOOOLLLOOOOOOOO verse chorus end.
Every song followed that format.
Dragonforce themselves just blew the crowd away, considering that the crowd was incredibly sh*t, they did amazing. As a result my right arm hurts from being flung in the air so much, my legs are killing me from jumping to the instructions of Sam, and I have no voice from screaming "Hey" at the top of my lungs again... under dragonforce instructions.
For some reason there were 3 girls brought on twice during the show, holding signs saying "tits out", but no idea why they were on stage, they ended up getting booed off both times. Rather random, and we were quite happy without them on stage. They werent even remotely decent looking.
But yea!
I can hear nothing, my neck hurts, my legs hurt, my arm hurts. Sign of a brilliant night
