BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE USED TO BE NU-METAL MOOKS

 Wednesday, December 26th, 2007 at 9:42am by

Oh, how sweet it is. This is akin to to when Metal Sludge unearthed photos of the members of Korn in their prior bands with blown out hair and spandex. Yup, Bullet For My Valentine, the controversial metalcore outfit from South Wales, UK, used to be in a shitty nu-mteal band — and boy do we mean shitty. Matt Tuck sounds like an off-key Stephen Richards, the drummer speeds things way up during the pre-choruses, and wow, this is just terrible. Change their name, haircuts, clothes, and bass player and presto, Bullet For My Valentine was born. Blabbermouth commenter Aggroculture summed it up best: “so they were sub Lostprophets nu-metal mooks. no surprise there.”

Here they are, jumping around like goons, in all their glory: Jeff Killed John.

    Vince, do we really need MORE reasons to hate BFMV? Videos like this just make people who hate them that much more upset that these folow-the-trend also-rans are selling gold records and playing in arenas. God damn its sad.

  • Sammy

    Or it’s possible they were young and stupid and grew up a little, musically speaking. There is some music I did in my past that I’d just rather forget.

  • Sammy

    That said, this is dreadfully terrible.

    bfmv is not okay. this just solidifies the fact they are trendy tools. went with the nu metal trend back then, realized it sucked, so they went with the generic Hot Topic metalcore trend thats going on now. either way, they are tools.

  • hegster

    the singer looks like a lost NSYNC member bahahahahaha!

  • Anthony

    First off, the video is hillariously terrible.

    Second, why rip on them for being “nu-metal” in their early years? Along the same lines as Sammy, everyone points out how Pantera was a hair metal band in its early years, but they don’t shun their recent work because of it. I could give two shits about BFMV, but it just sounds like potshots.

    The drummer has a really lame haircut.

    What’s with the sweater vest being worn as a shirt?

  • d.o.g.o.b.g.y.n.

    Now they’re just plain mooks.

    Shit how bizarre – their manager asked me to help him find a new guitarist for them years back – never realised they actually became Bullet for my Valentine! Was odd as I remember – he wanted a ‘pretty boy who the girls would like’… which ruled me out apparently! :) Never actually heard them and I just assumed they’d split like so many other local bands ‘on the way up’.

      That’s fucking mental! What a brilliant story you can recall to the next generation of metallers.

  • Matt Tuck

    YOU ARE SUCH AN IDIOTS
    BULLET ROCKS
    AND THE NAME METAL SUCKS ITS ALL SHIT

    • Just keep it for yourself =]

      ok let’s say we agree about bfmv.. BUT think about the other metal bands such as slayer, megadeath or metallica.. you cannot say they sound like shit! Everyone in here says that metal sucks, can you find a good gerne that a metallist can here and say “hell yeah im gonna change my mind about my preferences”. No you can’t.. So, keep listening on you girly trance and house music, listen to them inside a club and get nothing from them! and closing i totally agree with matt tuck ” AND THE NAME METAL SUCKS ITS ALL SHIT “
