Musicgasm!

Browsing WoW tactic videos during lunch today (what? Leave my OCD alone!) And suddenly I was ambushed by this...

I have a feeling that most people reading this will hate it completely or think I'm crazy but it hit my ear like pure sex with a sledgehammer. This? Is is my kind of music, this is my kind of pupil dilating, hairs all over your body raising level kind of music.

*cannot get any work done now. Music has eaten my soul*

Ooooh there's mooore! It's not just a one off *worships*

*grin!* dragonforce! i have a couple of their albums. they achieved sudden popularity after they had a song on guitar hero.

[sparkindarkness.livejournal.com]

I've never played Guitar hero but I rand across this and WHY DID NO-ONE TELL ME?! *looooves*

[klgaffney.livejournal.com]

it's a conspiracy. your beloved bribed us to keep all the epic metal away from you. =D

[sparkindarkness.livejournal.com]

HE WILL PAY!!!

Gods I think there may be a whole GENRE there which was DESIGNED for me that I've missed *is horrified*

Gods it kills concentration though doesn't it? It's better than triple espresso for firing you up

[klgaffney.livejournal.com]

he may thank me later. *solemn* i take paypal.

*grin* yeah, the geek!gang call it d&d metal--one of w's friends is a huge fan of such.

i love it for writing the occasional s&f battle scene to, altho alfheim likes the band manowar best, 'cause dragonforce is so polished? (luce loves them, tho. all that shiny guitar!) manowar's "carry on" is a favorite, and it's tagged as a quintessential neadhmen song, in my head:

(the fact that someone set it to final fantasy ix just cracks me up.)

lol, I need better revenge.

D&D metal! it is soooo perfect! *LOOOOOVES* geeek heavy metal!

Now I can get into manowar too :) but I think Dragonforce beats it :)

*has now sieged Amazon*

My brother adores Dragonforce - he's going to a concert later in the year, I believe. I'm not as keen, but Valley of the Damned is a bloody good track.

[sparkindarkness.livejournal.com]

It's completely destroyed my work ethic today, smashed my concentration completely and fired my adrenaline centres directly :)

I have a feeling if it's not your kind of music it'll be a blah, but if it is it's a synapse hotwire.

[vamprino.livejournal.com]

...You like Dragonforce too?!

I-I can't stop grinning!

Finally, someone in the legal profession who likes metal speed AND Orlando Bloom too! I won't be alone if I decide to go into practice!
:D

You know, it never occured to me that the name speed metal might not just refer to the tempo, but may well also refer to the effects on the listeners brain too.

[sparkindarkness.livejournal.com]

And doesn't it just? This is better than 3 shots of espresso!

[sparkindarkness.livejournal.com]

*is now addicted to it(

We just hide our geekiness well on the job :) or not so well

[lilisonna.livejournal.com]

Oooh! Nice! I do a happy dance.

[sparkindarkness.livejournal.com]

Isn't it just sooo nice?

There's loads more metalheads around than you think... jeez, that drumspeed sounds like a bunny shagging while hopped up on amphetamines.

Argh, bad pun. Sorry.

[zero_pixel_count]

...wherefore will they think you crazy? :P I was expecting something, y'know, bad!

[sparkindarkness.livejournal.com]

People are always bewildered by my music. I care not, my music is imba! And it helps to gather like-minded crazy folks around :)

[zero_pixel_count]

Seriously, though. From the buildup I was expecting godawful cheese that would get stuck in my head for days, or something similarly deserving of caveats, not something fundamentally listenable...

*points at her LJ* We're going to see them in Nottingham later this year as an Anniversary trip. :)

Loved them since Ian heard a track (Operation Ground and Pound) on Kerrang and thought it sounded cool. If/When I get a novel written, Heart of a Dragon & Where Dragons Rule are in hot contention for inspiration/plot... :)

[sparkindarkness.livejournal.com]

I am now DEAD of envy. DEAD.

Promise to worship Herman's hair and Vadim's general yumminess for me :)

[suryaofvulcan.livejournal.com]

Ahhh ... real music.

[sparkindarkness.livejournal.com]

This is not music. This is crack for the ears :)

[bladespark.livejournal.com]

Heh. Reminds me of Sonata Arctica, which I do enjoy when in the right mood. Today my mood is Pink Floyd, Soundgarden, and the more mellow end of Metallica and Guns N' Roses.

[sparkindarkness.livejournal.com]

Eclectic tastes totally rock :) I just tend to mix them up to break everyone's brains
