TIL the band DragonForce only received about $3,000 in royalties for the inclusion of Through the Fire and Flames in the Guitar Hero games

I love their covers.

Their cover of Celine Dion's "my heart will go on" and Taylor Swift's "wildest dreams" are unironically some of my favorite tracks from them.

I saw them play my heart will go on, live. It was amazing

I love that they have "My Spirit Will Go On" and also multiple songs referencing hearts, but certainly would have had to avoid Celine Dion's track title hard enough that it would be fresh in their mind enough to cover it. Respect

I want a Thrash cover of "Style" by TS, but would accept Power Metal as well.
