Love a bit of Nightwish and their live shows are sensational!!!

DragonForce has a very intriguing style to me.

I wonder if that camera on the headstock of Herman Li's guitar gives it a lot of neck dive!

I do like how they have Frédéric Leclercq (the bassist) at the front of the stage doing the over-the-top-of-the-fretboard thing along with Herman Li and Sam Totman (the other guitar player).

I love this band, they remind me of The Trans Siberian Orchestra on mega steroids! They are HUGE in Europe, but not that well known here, probably the biggest hit here was a tune called "If I Had An Angel". They are the biggest band ever to come of Finland and have ton's of success all over Europe. Jukka Nevalainen is a killer drummer and keyboardist Tuomas Holopainen is Nightwish, not to say that the rest of the band aren't all stellar players.
I've seen them twice and was totally blown away, if you ever get a chance to go see them.........GO! Good call on this one, Robert!

The USA hit...
