I caught on to the Sex Pistols reference too. I don't know if they were fans or just got lazy with their naming, but in either case they rock pretty hard.

Easy, they sound better than I thought they would but still a lot of mirrors and lights. One guitar, lead, solo, little riffs, clowning with the camera man and doesn't even bother looking at the strings
This video has been edited with a little tribute, but the video is so clean I like it
P.S. Butchered cliche warning, maybe smoke and mirrors would be more appropriate.

Not only the guitars, but the drummer. He plays double bass. There are not many people who can play the drums like that for more than a minute let alone an 8 minute song, constantly playing.
Not mention he can stay on beat the entire time. With other rock bands, the drummer just loses it at certain parts and it just becomes overwhelming and totally ruins any part of the song you may have considered music.

My drum teacher knows the guy who produces them, he claims when they're in the studio they don't have a clue what they're doing.
A common misconception with drums is that speed = amazing drummer.
Speed only really shows impressive technique.
Oh, and there are quite a few people who can blast like that for 8 minutes, one of them being Derek Roddy.
If you want pure amazing, check out the likes of Vinnie Colaiuta, basically the best drummer ever to live. For example, he could play 4 different time signatures at once whilst counting his 27 times table. He's a monster!
To me, I also find drummers such as Steve Jordan amazing for his ability to nail a groove with such feel. I had the pleasure of seeind Steve Jordan live with Eric Clapton about a month or so back. What he was doing wasn't technically amazing but real drumming is more about feel than speed or technicality.
Check out Billy Cobham and Steve Gadd (my biggest influence) also.

Check out Billy Cobham, Steve Gadd, Dave Weckl, Vinnie Colaiuta etc. and then tell me that he's an amazing drummer.
I still stand by it, he's not an amazing drummer, he is a drummer with impressive speed. Speed is not the only good attribute in a car, you could have a car that reaches 200 mph but if the turning, acceleration, gears, whatever were rubbish then it's simply a car with amazing speed.
P.S. On holiday for a week.

Amazing technical skills by no means makes a song any better. RATM's Bulls on Parade is simultaneously a great rock song and an incredibly simple song to play.
I don't know why people care about pure speed in instrumental parts at all.
"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." -- Theodore Roosevelt (1918)
"The danger to political dissent is acute where the Government attempts to act under so vague a concept as the power to protect "domestic security." Given the difficulty of defining the domestic security interest, the danger of abuse in acting to protect that interest becomes apparent. --U.S. Supreme Court decision (407 U.S. 297 (1972)

Dragon Force are okay, but they aren't as entertaining as the Sex Machineguns.
Although I admit that's some pretty crazy guitar.
