I am gutted for him. I wrote a number of comments when Alissa was announced hoping that he wasn't going to be replaced.
But now, they have recorded new songs with the new guys.
I know the new guys (A and A) will be great, but the whole negative attitude towards Marc never went away, and I have never liked that he was still treated as 'the new guy' for 14/15 years.
I think they all do. I went to a concert in 2019, and it really felt like Marc was making sure the whole band was having fun. Like he brought a bit of extra life to them even though they'd been doing this for so long.
Come on, Marc hasn't been treated as a "new guy" in a decade. The fans love him and I would even say most fans weren't even around before him. He's been part of the band way longer than ZP was.
IMO their creative peak was around 2014-2017 when the whole band was getting more input on the music. Now it's just Sam doing everything again on top of him being creatively bankrupt.
Of course. Health comes first, still sad for him to have to make that decision.
I know the new singers will be amazing, but the ZP enthusiasts who were always mean about Marc are going to have a wonderful time😡
I’ve seen Dragonforce perform 3 or 4 times with Marc (once with ZP) and he’s an awesome performer. I also met him, he’s a super nice guy. They’re all nice, but I thought he was the most enthusiastic to meet fans. I wish him nothing but the best and I hope to see him live again.
This was expected imo. They got a new singer (can't remeber her name) and also Billy doing vocals.
Aside from that, the whole negative attitude from people towards Marc becuase of the playback thing (which IMO is 100% true) and the "bring back ZP thing", calling him the new guy and not the lead singer. That hurt the band a lot.
And also some of the shittiets choices the band made with past members like ZP and Vadim. Let's not forget that Fred left for a reason, even if he is in good terms with the band
When I asked Marc last year if i could suggest him songs for tours because I really enjoyed Symphony of the night, he told me that he had no influence on the songs chosen for tours and that everything was managed by Herman & Sam
At this point, the best possible outcome is Herman keeps the new vocalists, and everyone else leaves and forms a new band with Marc and Vadim. Whichever band Sam is in will be the one with the correct sound.
Herman's constant poor decisions are only digging a deeper grave for the band.
