Dragonforce

I'd never really heard too much of Dragonforce before Guitar Hero 3 came out, and I realized how much ass they kicked.  I still go back and play their DLC for that game from time to time.  'Through the Fire and Flames' sticks in my head at random times, so I decided to make a Dragonforce channel on Pandora.

Sweet cripes man.  I had no idea how many of these bands were out there and they sound EXACTLY the same.  On what kind of alternate plane of reality do these guitar players reside? I know a very little bit about guitar and I can't figure out how anyone could move the pick that fast except maybe the Flash or God himself.  I'd try to watch a video but I'm pretty sure any shots of the hand would just show a blur that looked like little rascal-style sped-up action film.

Are there any Dragonforce fans out there? Can you tell the REAL Dragonforce from any one of the bands who sound exactly like them? I always thought Iron Maiden songs were ungodly hard guitar solos but for some reason Dragonforce music doesn't even sound humanly possible.
