Since there wasn't a thread for them yet I thought to make one for them. Just the typical band thread. Post your opinions, good and bad are welcome. My opinion is that these guys are very talented although they do need to try something new. All of their albums are far too similar. After listening to all of their albums it is had for me to tell them apart. But overall a very good band with a very unique sound. The topic is now open for posting!

Imo they are fantastic live. i saw them playing this year, and i'm not talking about the old videos on youtube which are awful. but i havent noticed that Ultra Beatdown was so different from earlier releases



I saw them at Hellfest this year and they were terrible (as usual)

What the hell does have Turisas in common with DragonForce to make a tour together?


Why do bands that tour together have to play the same music?
I always wanted diverse bands touring together, cause that makes it much more interesting and one could discover new bands that way.

And Turisas and DragonForce together isn't weird at all sicne fans of DragnForce are usually Turisas fans and the other way around.

That would be a first. I have seen them three times now and every time they are live even worse than on album.

I'll strongly have to agree with Marcel, I saw them back when I still liked them (nowadays I'm shuddering at the thought ) in early '06 and at the time I considered it the most disappointing gig I've ever been to.

(The second time I saw them, this summer, they weren't better either)

Diverse bands touring together is just stupid. The fans of one band are bored when the other one performs and vice-versa. When Cradle and Moonspell came here with Turisas, Turisas nearly killed the whole evening for me.

Now that's what I call close-minded
The more divese a line-up the better imo.

I get your point, Marcel. However, in reality, it happens more the way Slayer666 describes.

Feel free to be proud of not being "close-minded". I, on the other hand, don't want to waste 45 minutes of my life to see a band I hate live. Not to mention how that band almost kills my mood for the other bands I like.

I know and that's what pisses me off about the metal crowd in general. Just being interested in the stuff they know. Never willing to take chances. Always whining. Btw my latest blog is more or less on the mindset of most metallers.

Why do you consider it a bad concept? Both are power metal. Okay Turisas live is infinitely superior to DragonForce, but then again the only band worse live is HolyHell.

A terrible band that opens for Manowar all the time and who are live even worse than DragonFarce. Read the review Jeff wrote on their album

Man, do you even know what you're talking about? I know many bands that I'm not interested in and why should I want to see them live? So I can confirm my dislike of them? If you want to try something new, buy a goddamn CD or download it, no need to bore yourself on live gigs.

Well, seeing band live is one time pro year/decade/lifetime/whatever... but their studio albums you have at home and can listen to it again and again...so as long as it is good, they could suck live as much as they want...

Considering that I never go to gigs, I totally agree with you. I don't give a fuck at the live aspect.
Anyway, I have more important things to do than wasting my time at gigs + I can't stand crowds, especially if lots of people are drunk/drugged and act like retards.

So yes, as long as I like the studio albums, bands can suck as much as they want live and it makes no difference to me. Most likely, I will never know about it, anyway.

I didn't know that they sucked live. I only heard the samples on their MySpace page and it was more than enough already.

This band is god awful. I could not find the words to describe how boring it is.

Is it just me or is "Trail Of Broken Hearts" the lamest excuse for a power ballad ever? It's so fucking lame, and pansy-ass sounding. It makes me picture scantly dressed elves riding on winged unicorns flying through a field of rainbows.

Not only are they seriously boring and unoriginal...but they even manage to make their instruments sound annoying. They have the worst guitar sound I have probably ever heard, their vocalist (ex-vocalist fortunately) sounded like he was singing on a treadmill and the drumming is just meh. Cant wait until they finally give it a rest...
