I know the metal fans here have somewhat taken over the other music thread, however I wanted to start a new one here to start a new discussion.

As some of you may know I create videos when I'm at concerts. Personally I think they're of relatively high quality, especially when compared to some you can find online. I decided to share them, however, I'm not really that experienced with compression and online hosting or setting up torrent trackers, so I decided to do things my way :p

My first video is a 3.25min during video taken from my last concert: Dragonforce 05/03/2006 The size of the file is 25mb. It's a DivX video, with the original sound data.

It's a shot from the song Fury of the Storm, it starts with the guitar solo and lasts till the end. See the readme for additional info.

Any feedback will be more than welcome.

I hope you guys enjoy it :)

Dragonforce - Fury of the Storm / Live from the Netherlands

ps. I'm using our personal homepage thingie, so I'm limited to 1gb of traffic per month and a 50mb limit for the files :(

Edit 2: Link does NOT work anymore, I took down the file

You could torrent it, if your computer is on all the time.

I don't know how to do that, though someone might be able to explain it to me. And my computer usually isn't on all the time, at least not during nighttime when the ones from the states are online. Maybe for other videos I'll use that method :)

Sorry to say this Nevermore, but atm I only have powermetal videos, if only I would've had this camera a couple of months earlier I would've had some Graveworm videos.

Well I've got stuff from Hammerfall, Sonata Arctica, Edguy and Symphorce, haven't seen any of the heavier stuff lately. I did a video.google.com search some time ago and must say it's a great source for metal videos, so you could try that.

Upcoming concerts: Rage & Freedom Call (2nd of April), and Sonata Arctica (April 28 and May 11), so I'll make sure to get some shots from those shows as well.

If funny voices make you laugh, you'll love Dragonforce :rolleyes:

I loved it when ZP was doing a really high part of a song, and Sam (lead guitar, black hair) grabbed his own balls. Drunk batard xD

Very cool video, though bass drums were non-existent, but that is understandable. Its just a videocamera mic afterall!
Very nice pic quality and accurate sound compared to some blackmetal live-bootlegs i have: Video compressed to hell and audio nothing but screech distortion. :lol:

Woah, nice thread \,,/

Cid i prefer you warp back time and get those Graveworm videos or else...

Btw industrian, that Freedom Call's Warriors song, it's one of those songs you can only listen when you drunk.. VERY drunk.. Thou its funny, or perhaps hilarious would be better :D

Whatever you do, don't listen to Freedom Call's "Warriors." If that song's intro got anymore cheesier, it would have been made here. :D
It's not like 'Vain Glory Opera' doesn't have a cheesy beginning, most ppl would think it's from Europe because it's a complete Final Countdown copy :p

When messing around with the equalizer in winamp you might be able to get some better bass out of it. I once recorded some stuff from Graveworm with my cellphone, it sounds hella funny, you only heard noise, and Stefan's voice on top of that :lol:

Great videos industrian. That song by Arch Enemy is awesome, kinda freaky to see a chick 'sing' that way, their drummer is pretty quick with the feet.

Personally I'm not into Nightwish that much, whenever I hear a female sing that high it gets on my nerves and I long for a evil sounding counterpart. And I once heard some live songs of Nightwish and the voice of that guy makes my ears bleed.

Get yourselves some In Flames.
I know bositman will agree with me ;)

I found a nice FMV while doing a search on Dragonland videos: link I like this band a lot, I can recommend it if you like fast powermetal with a fantasy theme. Their lyrics are a lot better than Dragonforce's and their music isn't as chaotic and guitarsolo-focused.

That and Nightwish, Sleeping Sun. Both versions. =P They've started advertising on their site for a new singer btw.
I know this is a lazy question from me, but is it true that she was sort of "fired" from the band? That was a bit sad to hear.

Yup, it's true. Tarja was classified as a "guest singer."

The other guys let her go because she started getting greedy or something. It sucks though, she has one HELL of a voice.

Yup she got kicked out of the band, it was said she didn't even travel with the band anymore but she took a seperate plane with her husband. I never got into Nightwish a lot, maybe I'll like their studio work a bit better than live. The only song I really like of them is 'The Beauty and the Beast' :bow:

Glad to hear you were able to DL it as well Mire :D
 
#26 ·
Heh, I like the guest singer ;)

But the rest of the song was pretty good as well, but Tarja just doesn't have the kind of voice I like, she sounds too much like an opera singer. Just a matter of taste I guess.
