Metalheads unite

Cid Highwind · March 23rd, 2006

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

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.

Cid Highwind · March 23rd, 2006

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

**MiretanK** · March 23rd, 2006

I just LOVED the idea!

I'm in, count on me. :thumbsup:

The KVLT is gathering....

Nevermore · March 23rd, 2006

Hmmph.. *goes back to listen to his Nile cd he was currently listening*

Cid Highwind · March 23rd, 2006

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.

Nevermore · March 23rd, 2006

it's ok, I know that you will give us something more rocktasticly metalix0rz next time

HIGH HORNS! \m/

Cid Highwind · March 23rd, 2006

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.

**hushypushy** · March 23rd, 2006

cool, downloading now. man, i love that type of metal but it still gives me a laugh everytime i hear any of those guys.

Cid Highwind · March 23rd, 2006

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

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

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.

MaZa · March 23rd, 2006

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.

industrian · March 23rd, 2006

Here's my contribution. Found it on Google,

.

Arch Enemy - Nemesis

This song kicks five different varieties of ass.

Rhapsody w/ Christopher Lee - Magic of the Wizard's Dream

I prefer the Italian version.

That and Nightwish, Sleeping Sun. Both versions. =P They've started advertising on their site for a new singer btw.

Oceanborn version

New Version

bakufu · March 23rd, 2006

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

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

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

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.

Mad · March 23rd, 2006

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

Cid Highwind · March 23rd, 2006

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.

**MiretanK** · March 23rd, 2006

Yay, just downloaded the video. Nice quality of video, good sound. Amuzing work Cid! ^_^

**Chrono Archangel** · March 23rd, 2006

Ahhh sweet Cid. I'll watch this once the downlaod finishes. Can't wait to see DragonForce on April 29th
