BFMV Almost Got Better

2008-03-08 by Trey STAFF | 43 Comments
Bullet For My Valentine had a chance to actually be a good band when their vocalist had to have surgery and the band considered the option of replacing him before the recording of their new album... sadly they didn't and the rest is history:

The Pulse of Radio reports that Bullet For My Valentine singer Matt Tuck almost had to be replaced before recording began on its new album, "Scream Aim Fire", according to an interview with FMQB.com. Guitarist Michael "Padge" Paget revealed that Tuck was having problems with his voice and ultimately needed surgery, adding, "After that he had to teach himself how to sing in a different way because he couldn't sing in the way he used to be able to. It was kind of weird and scary. We even considered getting a new singer because he couldn't sing like he used to. But he had the operation and got healthy and retrained himself...His singing is better than ever, so something worked..."

Isn't this kind of old news? I think they should've replaced him, his vox suck on Scream Aim Fire imo.

It is old news except that I don't think it ever came out before now... maybe it did, since I don't really keep up on these guys... if it is old news that everyone already knew, well, that's what we have News Mods here for.

Nevermind, I checked in the magazine I thought I read this in, and they didn't mention anything about replacing him.

I dont have Scream Aim Fire, but I liked his performance on The Poison. I dont think that they would have been better with a new vocalist. If it was right before the album was to be recorded they would have probably scrambled and found some shitty guy

Exactly like Trivium....

Its really funny how all these pop metal faggots fuck their voices up, cause they can't scream for shit, then end up doing lame Hetfield impressions. Horrible band.

how are Bullet For My Valentine pop metal when they didn't end up on TRL for every single week or end up in the same category as Rihanna, and Christina Aguilera? Avenged Sevenfold on the other hand, is POP, not Bullet. Leave Bullet alone, haters!

This was in last months issue of Revolver. Old news.
Plus, they would still suck ass if they replaced their lead singer. Sorry, if this sounds grumpy, I've been shoveling snow all day! Fucking Winter Storm motherfucker! This Message Edited On 03.08.08

Bullet Are an awesome band, THEY ARE NOTHING LIKE THE BANDS YOU COMPARE THEM TO

Lostprophets aren't really metal anyway, I dunno why people label them as that.

Bullet are a metal band, amazing vocals, blazing guitars, banging drums & loud bass. Not to mention some great lyrics, don't diss an awesome band. Knowing some of you, you love dissing bands who don't fit what you like

(take away the *)

I might've liked Scream, Aim, Fire just a little bit if they got a new vocalist. When I first got into metal it was because of this band, but now I listen to other stuff, this band is just crap to me now, especially scream, aim, fire.

I was like you once. I went through a nu-metal phase when I was your age.

I'm serious though, everytime a person on this site doesn't like Death Metal the others who do like it keep telling them to listen to it. It's the reason I'm slightly put off by the people on here

Also I'm way past the "Nu Metal Phase" I had that from 2003-2005, I like music that is quite special to me, Alter Bridge & Smashing Pumpkins to name a few. BFMV are a metal band, regardless of how heavy they are or how supossedly crap their lyrics are. They have a heavy sound & are the metal some like, don't keep saying "The really heavy metal is the only metal" because we all know it isn't

Death metal owns. Don't let the pushiness of some of the people on this site dissuade you from giving it a chance. It takes time to get into (for many, I know it did for me) and you may come out the other side still not liking it. On the other hand, you may come out the other side wondering how in the hell you missed how amazingly good death metal can be. I know I did.

I'd agree Matt Tuck brings this band down. "Hearts Burst Into Fire" is an awesome track too (mainly the guitars).

All I heard from here saw the single and man it was horrible. I'm scared to actually listen to the rest of the album.

Creamcrazy, I am going to try my hardest to force some heavy death metal down your throat.

I was exactly like you when I was also 16. My favorite bands were BFMV, Demon Hunter, and As I lay Dying.
I always had to defend them and get bashed. Don't worry about it, when the time comes, you'll find better metal. Bands like BFMV are just metal for people new to the genre. I didn't immediately like the "Extremely Heavy Death Metal" you speak of, (took me about 2 years), but you might later on.

To be honest, I find this last album to be a poor effort compared to The Poison, which really did have a few quality melodies. Undeniably the lyrics are awful but hey, that's just an opinion..

Thing is, there's so many purist/elitists here who keep shoving what they like down someone elses throat. Who gives a flying donkeyturd what someone else likes or doesn't like, as long as it's them actually liking it (and not peers or whatever pushing them into doing so). Way I see it, you betray your own love for music if you can't respect someone elses.

And bands that suck; like BFMV. And if you really think they have great lyrics...well that's just sad.

Why do you care what other people say anyways? Listen to what you want. I just wouldn't go around making naive statements about what rocks and what doesn't. Heavy metal is a grower in most of its subgenre extremities. I was like you when I came to this site and I know how it feels to think that 'people are pushing supposed heavier and better music on me'. But take it from me and probably many other people on this site, there is always better music out there. And BFMV are bottom of the ladder. Who knows, I may grow out of the metal I'm listening to right now (not likely though).

Paramore are the shizznit.
Can't stand Bullet, they try wayyy to hard to be accepted by the metal scene, kinda like BMTH (who, it must be noted, got booed off the stage at Gigantour here in Australia).
Bullet are touring with A7X and Atreyu here, and as much as I hate Atreyu's old stuff even THAT is better than Bullet. And A7X really aren't as bad as you lot make them out to be.

I think it's mostly their recent album that people hated on. I personally don't have an opinion of them, never got into their stuff enough to judge it.
