That's what I'm assuming as well, I hope you're right.
DRAGONFORCE ROLL CALL
What a brutal show.
dragonforce will be forgotten about next year just like the darkness.

On Wednesday the 4th, The Sword are playing Recher Theatre. The Sword are so much cooler than Dragonforce – these guys sound like the Darkness with a cartoon version of Slayer on guitar. It's goofy, but not in a good A.W.K. kind of way.
that was the worst comparison ive ever heard of.
clean out your ears, boy.

Warriors of forever will sacrifice the night"? Check. I only heard 4-5 songs by them, but they all featured these characteristics.
Please post an alternate description if you wish.
my fault. I thought you were describing "The Sword". Yeah Dragonforce is pretty cartoonish. so is Buckethead. and Manowar.
the sword > dragonforce
Ahh, sorry for the mix-up. I was describing Dragonforce. I'm a big fan of The Sword and I wish I could make it to the show this week. Hoping for a DC show soon.
Rumor has it they're headlining in Bmore w Clutch and Wooly Mammoth on NYE at Boar's head (?) or some such. Nothing's confirmed yet.

i'll start: i did, and it was an interesting show. from a technical point of view, i've never seen anything like that dude (and yes, i've seen/heard a number of 'guitar gods'). strong element of performance art (or acid burn-out, you chose) to the show, which ran about two and half hours. "bass player" played this home-made single-string contraption made out of pipes - weird, and he was good at it. drummer was a retarded man-child. over-all, very surreal… yes, the bucket is dorky/stupid/whatever - it was good music, which was what i came for.
where did you see him?
I saw him at Wetlands about 12 years ago w Bernie Worrell and a few other PFunk ex-pats. Buckethead was clearly the center of attention and deservedly so. pretty phenomenal guitarist.

I go to Birchmere for the food.

So what's the story with all the ridiculous band names? Do they give themselves these stupid metal names on purpose, or are they for real?
