I've Officially Been A Bullet Fan Since Age 9. I Found Out About Them Back in '04 Through Their Self Titled EP, This Was Around The Time I Was Beginning To Live Harder Music, Now that All The Pop Bands Had Split. After 20 Seconds Into Hand Of Blood I Knew I Had Found My New Favorite Band, Which Brought Me To Listen To The Whole EP Over And Over. My Parents Didn't Think It Was Normal For A 9 Year Old Elementary Schooler To Listen To Screaming Vocals And Thrashing Guitar Riffs But I Didn't Give A f*** What They Thought, Metalcore Was My True Calling. By 2006 They Weren't The Only Heavy Band I Was Into Now BUT They Still Remained My Favorite. Then Came The Release Of The Poison Which To Me Was "The Best Thing I Had Ever Heard, Literally". Following The Release Of Live At Brixton DVD It Seemed Like No Matter What I Did I Couldn't Help But Be Jealous, Seeing Them Onstage Live In Front Of Thousands Of Screaming Fans Like Myself, It Seemed Just Too Awesome To Believe, To See 4 Guys Come From A Small Town And Make It To Something SO Big Was Just Incredible. Following The Events To Scream Aim Fire With Matts Surgery And Recovery, I Was Anxious And Worried This Next Album Would Sound Very Different Compared To The Poison, And When 2008 Finally Came...I Was Eating My Words Like You Wouldn't Believe, Not Believing They Wouldn't Make An Amazing Album Was The Most Unwisest Thing Ive Ever Done. Scream Aim FIRE Was A f***ing Hit! And With Matts Voice Changed, It Was A New Style, Sound, And Outlook For Them And It REALLY Fit. Late August 2008 My First Concert, And Whad'ya Know? BFMV Coming To My Home Town, My Small Quit Home town Of N.H. I Can Honestly Say The Best Night Of My Life, And What Makes It Better? Meeting 1/2 Of The Band In The Same Day! And the Show?! Don't Even Get Me Started! And 2 Years Later They Remain My #1, My Influence I Picked Up Guitar In The Summer Of '08 And Continue To This Day, For One Reason, And I Think You Can Guess Why. Ive Seen Them Twice Now, And It Seems Like They Only Keep Getting Better, I Think Fever Speaks For It's Self. I Honestly Can Say That Bands CAN Influence You, Because I Have Ben And I Still Am Now At the Age Of 16, All I Think About in My Future Is Music, Maybe I Can Make Something Of It, Maybe Not? Who Knows. I Look Forward to What My Music Will Do For Me In The Future And I Also Look Forward To What BFMV Will Have In Store Also, Honestly I Can't Recommend This Band Enough, I Can't Even Explain Why. Lets Just Say If You Saw Them Through My P.O.V. Then You Would Understand, Then ?You Would See What I Mean.
Thank You For Your Time, And To Any Fans & Fellow Musicians Out The Keep On Rocking Brothers & Sisters.
And To Matt,Jay,Moose&Padge, Thank You For EVERYTHING These Past Years Music, Media, And Memories. Cheers!
