Throughout their show they also used laser lights and Marc would pick up a spray gun and spray the audience. Marc Hudson, lead singer for Dragonforce spraying audience at Club Red, Mesa, Arizona on March 5th, 2020 This is no small feat since they use a double bass drum, an extremely large drumkit and super-fast for the show. Their long-time drummer, Gee Anzalone was hospitalized just prior to the USA tour and the band though they might have to cancel the tour, but at the last minute (actually with 7 days of practice), Aquiles Priester stepped in to take over the drumming role. New to the band (at least for the last 2 years) is bass player Alicia Vigil. They are joined by front man and lead signer Marc Hudson. The current line-up of the band consists of founding guitarists Herman Li and Sam Totman. They even increase the speed of the game play to match their very, very fast instrument playing. ![]() ![]() Their stage shows this by having 2 large simulation game machines on either side of the stage that play video games (mainly Sega Genesis 64) throughout the show. A lot of their music is themed from video games. Known as the fastest band in the world, Grammy-nominated Extreme Power/Steel Metal band, DragonForce is based in London, England. If they do, I will definitely be there.ĭragonforce Dragonforce Logo at Club Red, Mesa, Arizona on March 5th, 2020 Hopefully they might come back to the Phoenix area and perform at a large venue with a larger stage. Other then these 2 small problems, it was a good start to this USA tour. The other issue was when Brittney’s mic gave out and she had to use one of the other mics of the guitarist. First, it took a long time for Visions Of Atlantis to get setup and mix correctly with the house sound system. Since this was also their first concert of the USA tour, there were a few issues. If they are playing on a larger stage it would be so much better. The first 2 bands had to put their drummer behind one of the game machines and therefore was hidden from over half of the crowd. Between the 2 massive video game machines on either side of the stage to the humongous drum kit in the middle of the stage, there was very little room for the bands to actually perform. The only thing that I felt was an issue was the small stage and the massive amount of stuff that Dragonforce had on it. Then add the stellar guitar work of each band and it was a great night of metal music. From the amazing singing of Brittney Slayes ( Unleash The Archers), to the dual lead singing of Clémentine Delauney and Michele Guaitoli ( Visions of Atlantis) to finally the powerful singing of Marc Hudson ( Dragonforce), it was truly spectacular. If you get a chance to see this show on their current USA tour, I would highly recommend it. ![]() Even with the packed crowd, everyone seemed to be very nice and I never saw any issues even when they attempted to start a small mosh pit in the middle of the floor (it did not last long). Club Red was sold-out and it had the most people (the large west side of the venue) that I have ever seen. Then add the two opening acts, Visions of Atlantis and Unleash The Archers and it was a great night of metal. As Dragonforce was prepared to enter the stage, they played about a 4- or 5-minute intro that included an amazing laser light show. This show had one of the best intros for a band that I have seen in the past 3 years. ![]() Tour: DragonForce US Tour – Mission 2 Dragonforce’s opening light show at Club Red, Mesa, Arizona on March 5th, 2020 Dragonforce at Club Red, Mesa, Arizona on March 5th, 2020
