[@5urg3x]

Matt has done ALL the solos and bass tracks for every single album they've done? Holy shit. So basically it's just him and a drummer and a producer in the studio....

[@shrapnel77]

NOT the solo's. I do not think Padget would stand for that. Plus, Matt has too much respect for Michael and does not have the chops to pull it off. The bass parts are pretty basic and like he stated, "the same right hand doing guitar rhythm is the same right hand doing bass." I do not think it's THAT impressive, mainly because I have been playing for over 35 years. In the studio, you can do 50 takes until it is perfect. Playing bass live is an entirely different experience altogether.

[@Matt231985uk]

Matt Tuck & Moose flew to Thailand to track Temper Temper. Padge and Jay were left out of the whole process, which Padge was massively pissed off about.

[@LucasFredrik]

Padge records all his solos, Matt does the rhythm guitars. In most bands one person records the rhythm guitars to get it sound tight, two different players can sound a bit off in recording. Matt can't play all of Padge's solos either.

[@prestonhoch3500]

People can't stand change. Their new album kicks ass. Not everything can sound like The Poison.

[@kuroinamida4630]

Preston Hoch especially since every album is different. Poison was more Metalcore, SAF was more Thrashy, Fever was more Modern Metal'ish i guess, Temper Temper was a bit more Melodic, Venom back to the roots with a modern twist and Gravity is more electronic even tho I do like it, its in my opinion their weakest. I'd compare it to Sounds of a Playground Fading, has nice songs but just doesnt get that Feeling tho

[@rerditirerthz5568]

i love changes i hate lazyness and the use of the word """change"""" to not hate on the album... You wanna a real change on sound with real effort with a "pop/commercial" oriented sound? The Black Album.

[@lukecordero5852]

Change is fine. Fever was different than the poison and scream aim fire. I personally like fever sound best. Temper temper wasn't bad too. But gravity is just not even metal anymore. Way too big of a change. If they tried another temper temper I'd be happy with it.

[@fatimataboada7612]

Amen to that

[@mickeldeblois3945]

Luke Cordero I think this album works out perfectly fine, because it still sounds like Bullet, but with electronics, Temper was the lowest they had gone because I believe it was rock feed or lowdwire one time, I saw them say that if they take another step as low as Temper, they risk putting an end to a previously untouchable career, meaning fever, Scream, and poison are by far their best efforts, I feel like Gravity would fit the description of Fever, and Temper mixed together.

[@N8sLaxLife]

I’m surprised that Matt records the bass for every album too. So I guess they just grab Padge and the drummer to finish the song then?

[@mickeldeblois3945]

Julien Havoc I wouldn't be surprised if that could be a major contribution to Jay leaving just before Venom, I mean, if you're part of a band, and u have little to no part in the recording process of the albums, u feel more like a roadie than anything else. Not saying that Matt is doing the wrong thing by recording the bass parts, because he makes a very good point that it sounds much tighter when the same right hand is playing it all, but that could have contributed to Jay leaving

[@NickFP117]

mickel deblois Just to be clear, a vast majority, if not all, bands do that in the studio. It’s easier and tighter (like Matt said) to have one guy do the parts that are similar to keep consistency through the record. I highly doubt that was at all a factor in Jay leaving the band.

[@mickeldeblois3945]

Nick Pires well, that was just my opinion, because normally you'd expect the band members to record their own instruments. I did not say that it was THE reason, I said it wouldn't surprise me if that had some sort of part in Jay leaving. You can't be 100% certain because the only reason we have for him leaving is "musical differences", nothing else.

[@NickFP117]

mickel deblois yeah I get it. I agree you can’t rule it completely out, but I’m just saying most bands, that’s how they record. I’ve been a part of recording a few albums and that’s exactly how we did it was one guitarist did everything unless there was a lead part that was played by the other. Granted the albums I played on were nowhere near the level of Bullet, but the idea is the same for consistency

[@mickeldeblois3945]

Nick Pires yeah, I agree with you, but you can't rule it out completely. To be honest, I am very curious to see what Bullet would have done if Jay had stayed

[@bassmasta93]

Never knew Matt recorded ALL of the guitar and ALL of the bass on EVERY album.. that’s kinda crazy

So in Metallica for example, it’s James Hetfield recording all the rhythm guitar parts, right? My question is: are there two rhythm guitar tracks being superimposed on top of each other for bands with two (or more) guitarists, to give it that full sound that you’d get from multiple guitars? With James’ rhythm guitar parts being double tracked?

Wait... he did all the guitars and bass on their albums? So all the BFMV albums are just him, Moose, and a producer?

[@youraveragemusician3914]

Well. I believe Matt records only the rhythm guitar parts and bass. If he did everything then there is no point having a talented guitarist like Padge in the band lol

[@randyturker]

Growing up with this band. Knowing them first from NFS Most Wanted back in the day. The song was hand of blood. Guaranteed to have an epic race when that song comes up haha

[@Wrathchild1995]

Please do one of these with Jerry Cantrell and Sean Kinney of Alice In Chains :D Would love to see that

[@jakeboogey]

Got a whole new respect for these guys! Not that I didn't have the utmost respect for them prior, but yeah, after this interview, this have changed.

[@MatthewWillis3]

The poison is still my favorite album from them... tears don’t fall and all these things are SICK songs.

[@matthewgarettyconnorlinkme3429]

Was the woods scenes, in Waking The Demon music video, actually filmed in New Jersey, USA or not?

[@frankunodostres473]

I'm going to a bfmv show in a few months. the reason I'm going is that nothing more and of mice & men are there but bfmv are headlining. I don't know anything about the latter but I'm a big fan of the other 2 bands. @ all fans: what do you recommend? should I stay for bfmv or rather beat the traffic and go home early?

[@infinitypercival5958]

I think it's worth your time to see BFMV live. I never went to any of their concerts, but from all the videos I've seen, it should be a pretty fun show.

[@nelc2722]

I’ve only seen em once and they opened for slipknot. They killed it so I recommend

[@mrtoad8630]

Saw them open for A7X. They did really good. Would recommend

[@EpicFred1736]

frank unodostres saw them in Maryland and Trivium opened for them. Trivium kicked ass and BFMV did as well! They didn’t really interact with the crowd as much as Trivium did, but they knew how to put on a show for sure! This was when they only had out 3 singles for Gravity though so they’ll probably have changed up their setlist, but I don’t think you’ll be disappointed one bit.

[@halo123keano]

I've seen them 3 times now, I would highly recommend staying. They're really awesome live

[@tararussell5942]

You got Matt!! YAY!!

[@tigerrr1227]

Your Betrayal hits me like crack when I hear it on my gym play list....boom!!!!

[@assaultedpeanut9]

Matt you're brilliant and look hot (no homo) rock on dude \m/

[@redcode8943]

I'm curious to know how the bassist feels when they record songs then? Because if he can play bass during live shows but doesn't during recording, I'm curious to know more about that arrangement.

Lord help me, I want to do things to this man. That smile ughhhhhhh.

[@jacobrichardson1952]

All this time I didn't know Bullet For My Valentine are Australian band, that's quite interesting at least I still like listening Hand Of Blood.

[@ShadowOfDeathPsalm23]

They're Welsh, from Bridgend, Wales. Not Australia. They literally say it in the video.

[@Candy30498]

@@ShadowOfDeathPsalm23 South Wales exist in Australia too

[@adventofknowledge]

New game; every time Matt says "You know?" take a shot haha Also poison may have been personal and "weird" lyrically, but it was easily one of the most emotionally intense albums I ever listened too from an observation standpoint and a personal one myself, too much of it hit home lol

[@michaelgrahamwongacutemadness]

I didn’t notice it like zakk wylde and alexi laiho i do that a lot honestly

[@PolarrsX]

[@stevenroach2296]

Damn. I don't know if I would be willing to be part of a band where I didn't get to play on any studio recording. I guess if you are in it for the money it would be fine.
