An introduction to Dragonforce
“If you are a fan of all those lads who play guitar really fast… Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Paul Gilbert and even fat-legged pouting Swede Yngwie Malmsteen you’ll love the guitar work, and be very envious of guitar-man Herman Li. ”

The Subways with Jeff Caudill 20/2/06 Melkweg Klein Zaal
“I have to say that I was fully impressed by their live energy. They put on a fantastic show and were truly a hell of a lot better than I expected. However, I really couldn’t help but think, gee I liked this band a whole lot better when they were called The Vines. ”
