agreed. i'm down with the DF and they have some epic songs. i've seen them live twice and they didn't dissapoint me at all. i have realistic expectations of what they should be doing up there, and of course they're not gonna get that studio sound. however, herman li is an exceptionally good guitar player, while totally not my style. i'm man enough to say that he's excellent, and i will enver play like him. i don't care what the studio does to his abilities...he still rocks some pretty decent balls.

that being said, i've grown out of dragonforce. the vocals are too much for me usually. either that, or its just too intense to listen to while driving to school in the morning or relaxing. i guess i'm rarely in a metal mood, and when i am, i listen to heavier stuff.
