Dragonforce Go Full 80s-Glam In New Video ‘Strangers’
Written by Johnson Stephen on October 26, 2021
DragonForce has launched a new video for ‘Strangers’ – a song from 2019′s ‘Extreme Power Metal’ album and it’s a tribute to everything 1980s!
Guitarist Herman Li comments: “This video takes place in the same ’80s world as our last video ‘Troopers of the Stars’, with the same cast and the same director, Roboshobo. When he pitched the concept, I was immediately into it. I’m a huge fan of the glam rock-era of music – I love the showmanship, the guitar solos and the endearing cheesiness. The players of that time Steve Vai, Warren Di Martini and Reb Beach were amazing; I think sometimes the playing gets lost and people just remember the crazy outfits. So, this video is a loving tribute to that era – while also being authentic…I know people may think we’re not taking ourselves seriously enough, but I think given the state of the world, sometimes it’s just nice to kick back and have a laugh with your mates. That was definitely the vibe on set – we could barely keep a straight face watching the playback.”
Filmed before the pandemic with a large-scale production, ‘Strangers’ was directed by Roboshobo, in Los Angeles, CA, and it can be seen here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZH1tnWyrRY
