Dragonforce with..?

Kornfann1024 · 11-21-2008, 08:49 AM

so i seen a dragonforce interveiw the other day and herman li pulled out the rg2228!....i dont mean to bash anyone cause dragonforce isnt my thing but every thing ive herd from them sounds like a sped up high pitched vid. game sound track....why do they need to extra lower strings

(adn once agin on the bashing thing...they're awsome musicians.way way way better than i can ever hope to be...but i just can get into their music)

That's so they can make ExciteBike sounds.

Nick · 11-21-2008, 08:56 AM

so they can fail on 8 strings instead of just 6

Ibanez promotion at it's finest!

This.

More than likely it's just because they get preferential treatment as Ibanez endorsees, and because they're in a "metal band" it's good for them both to be seen with the "newest metal instrument".

It's so Herman Li can show how to bullshit 8 string sweeps too.

With extra notes on the ends and not just in between.

Uncle Remus · 11-21-2008, 12:09 PM

Won't the lower range make their music sound like a slowed down nintendo game that got sped up again?

CrashRG · 11-21-2008, 12:21 PM

i heard they got them exclusively under contract with nintendo to do an epic re-make of the original super mario brothers soundtrack.

Kornfann1024 · 11-21-2008, 05:26 PM

i just liek how they are a "metal" band ...when i think metal i think metallica or machine head or stuff liek that not dragonforce

However, When I see an 8 string guitar I think Meshuggah. NOT Dragonforce

I bet they will try and figure out how to get two extra HIGH strings like a High A and what ever would be higher then a A

ohmanthisiscool · 11-21-2008, 06:47 PM

a D would be higher

Kornfann1024 · 11-21-2008, 07:01 PM

or they keep the low b and and a high a?

You guys are making it sound like you can't start a run on the low F# string... Cooley does it, I'm sure Herman can as well.

JakeRI · 11-21-2008, 07:31 PM

makes me want to sell my 2228

Niels · 11-21-2008, 08:07 PM

My bet is he would use a high a and a low B string, because so far no strings have allowed for a high d before snapping I believe.

Especially not on a 27"-scale

BlindingLight7 · 11-21-2008, 10:13 PM

unless you use like a cheese cutter-wire...lol

Anthony · 11-21-2008, 11:43 PM

Holy shit the jokes in this thread are lame.

Kronpox · 11-22-2008, 01:40 AM

Well basically if you play all your riffs on a low F#, by the time you speed it up as much as they do it sounds like it's believably in E or D. That's my guess.

Stephen · 11-22-2008, 05:30 AM

I don't like the band but it is a great guitar.

Solstafir · 11-22-2008, 06:31 AM

"Look ma'! Got me an 8 string alright! Won't that make me band a lil more metal, huh, mum???"
