Dragon Force



Dragon Force was created by the makers of Guitar Hero.

"We need something that's very complicated. Overly complicated maybe even."
"It should be of substance too, right? Like, a really moving piece with tons of emotion?"
"Yea, and maybe some relevent social commentary?"
"Themes too!"
"No, overly complicated is fine."
"They should sound intense. But not too intense that they might scare 8 year olds. Intense enough for like-an 8 year old."
"Yea that sounds good. We'll have R&D invent a band."
"maybe they could have a really awesome name?"
"That's a good idea Joe. Something...awesome."
"What's awesome?"
"Hmm..."
The room was filled with a long silence
"Not fairies. Not unicorns."
"Well what's the opposite of a unicorn?"
"Dragons?"
"I think Dragons are pretty awesome."
"That's good! Dragons!"
"Maybe it could be..two words? The first word is awesome obviously, but what if we added a second word?"
"Two awesome words?"
"no, maybe the second word could be...
"threatening."
"Yea...so on one hand they're awesome..."
"But they're also threatening!"
Another long silence
"Maybe Dragon Attack?"
"Dragon...Kick?"
"Dragon punch?"
"Dragon Knife?"
"Dragon...existence?"
"Dragon Ville?"
"What's threatening about Dragon VIlle?"
"think about it: A whole city of dragons! Scary, right?...I'll leave."
"Dragon, and then something overwhelming. Something strong, some kind of..."
"FORCE!"
"Dragon Force?"
"Yea like, a Force to be reconed with. Of dragons."
"DRAGON FORCE!"
"That sounds perfect! Awesome and threatening all at once!"

And thus the awesome, threatening, shallow and meaningless band Dragon Force was born as we know it, blowing 800 8 year olds minds a day.
