DRAGONFORCE. These guy's musical talent will make your jaw drop and your tongue loll. Herman Li is an absolute god at hammering, and they are the only band that can rock a keytar and still be fucking metal. I met them at Ozzfest and although they were scruffy and one liked the drinky drinky a little too much, and was asking when the "Divorcees" were to arrive, they are great guys.
Youtube video of them: Watch the solos, they are the most insane thing I've seen, ever.

Indie, Emo, Pop, or any combination thereof doesn't have shit on these guys.

Ugh.
Seconded

Haha, parts of the Angelo solo were artificially sped up. He's good, but you could see how his whole body sped up while he was flicking his hands back and forth from the top to the underside of the guitar.

Come on guys, enough with the Dragonforce. Sure, they're fast, but they're not playing anything particularly interesting, and all of their songs sound exactly the same.
JEEZ.
-
Whatever, guys. Dragon Force melts your face and you know it.
If you don't like metal, speed metal or hair bands you won't like Dragon Force, but let the rest of us bruise our brains trying to headbang at 180 bpm.

Well, I agree that their songs sound exactly the same...but I like that sound! The video is noticably sped up in parts, which sucks, though. Also, I don't like the whole "ZOMG LOOK AT OUR HAIR", but I like how it sounds.

Nobody makes me feel more guilty for liking a band than this forum. :(

Lol look at me, the noob, there's a thread about 10 down about DragonForce. Lawl. But come on man! DragonForce rules so much!!! Most talented band at Ozzfest hands down. Most people just don't like them because they think that they are taking the fantasy lyrics seriously. DragonForce themselves have said that it's not serious, they are just having fun with it. The Viking age is dead, and heavy metal isn't going to bring it back.

oh man i saw dragonforce live and my face melted off.

Doesn't mean they can't try to and put out some damn fine albums in the process :)

Look, instrumental technique is not the holy grail of music. Still there are more impressive guitar players, some of whom actually play innovative music, like Masvidal and Gobel of Cynic or Allan Holdsworth. If you want unrelenting ridiculous speed, there's Rusty Cooley, who is inhuman as far as I can tell. I will say that the song was hilariously over the top, and the whammy bar antics were pretty neat, but they're not breaking my perception of what fast guitar playing can be.
