Line 33:
** Sam Totman, guitarist and principal songwriter, born in England but raised in New Zealand.
* Former members include:
** ZP Theart, lead vocals, born in South Africa. [[Mr. Fanservice|Extremely charismatic]]. Note that "ZP" are not initials, but rather ''[[Awesome McCoolname|his actual first name]]''. After his departure from Dragonforce, he formed his own band, ''I AM I''.
** Adrian Lambert, bassist, from England.
Not to be confused with the [[Sega Saturn]] game ''[[Dragon Force (video game)]]'', although said game was the inspiration for their name - they're [[One of Us|self-confessed video game geeks]] (hence video game-like sound effects in their songs).

Line 81:
* [[Manly Tears]]: DragonForce's songs use the words 'tears' and 'cry' within their lyrics frequently, but this has more to do with the fantastical, over-the-top and epic settings and situations they sing about than trying to pull [[Tear Jerker|Tear Jerkers]] from their audience.
* [[Multinational Team]]: Every member of the band comes from a different country, though they identify themselves as "Dragonforce from London England".
* [[One of Us]]: [[Dragon Force (video game)]] is known for having put in video game sounds into their songs, notably [[Pac-Man]] into Through The Fire And Flames. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYJQ8TzI4t0 Their music video for The Last Journey Home] is particularly blatant in clearly showing [[Video Games]] tropes just for the hell of it.
* [[Pachelbel's Canon Progression]]: The chorus and instrumental parts of [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QlkVK0ZVkkw "Valley of the Damned"].
* [[Power Ballad]]: [[Once an Episode|One per album]] - "Trail of Broken Hearts", "Starfire", "Dawn over a New World", and "A Flame for Freedom". Subverted in their most recent album, wherein it doesn't have a full power ballad, but instead the first portions of "Wings of Liberty" and "Last Man Stands" are power ballads.
