WyattSheepMask Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 (edited) I put that down to being somewhat of an overnight sensation. I think they only had 1 EP out before Sony signed them to a 5 album deal. They got the big push without âpaying their duesâ*, they were basically The Giant in 1995 *I donât think that personally, but I needed it for the Giant analogy to work Edited November 5, 2018 by WyattSheepMask Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted November 5, 2018 Author Paid Members Share Posted November 5, 2018 strangely i never saw them before they became Bullet for My Valentine despite being around local Welsh shows at the time but it always felt like people thought they'd got lucky because until they changed their name and put out that EP they were a dodgy nu-metal cover band. I used to be on a South Wales music forum and you could sense the massive amounts of jealousy toward them on there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 I fucking hate Bullet for one reason and one reason only, if I ever talk about My Bloody Valentine 9 times out of 10 someone thinks I'm on about BFMV.. some cute lass I was chatting up at a local doom gig did it a few days back, was half tempted to walk off.

False Alarm! Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 It seems that that they've all gone now, but managed to grab a couple in 217, so cheers for that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daughters Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 On 11/4/2018 at 1:23 PM, Merzbow said: So the new Daughters album is stellar, top tier noisy industrial rock and it seems to be getting praise from major publications too. It'd be hard to find a better comeback album. I was gushing about them a few pages back. Got tickets to see them in April at the Brudenell Social Club in Leeds (where Iâm also going to be seeing Built To Spill). Didnât think Iâd get to see them, let alone of the back of a decent comeback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted November 10, 2018 Author Paid Members Share Posted November 10, 2018 Saw Slayer on Monday, it was a suitably messy affair. I dont remember a lot of it other than a ton of fire but it was a tidy send off in a packed arena. The setlist touches all bases but theres so many gems they could include. I'll miss em.

It will be the first time I've seen all four bands, sadly my first time for Slayer is also my last time, but at least I'll get to see them (obviously minus Hanneman) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted November 10, 2018 Author Paid Members Share Posted November 10, 2018 you wont be disappointed mate. Gary Holt is about a good a replacement as Slayer could have got too, he fucking brings it. There is a nice tribute to Hanneman during the show, they've been doing it for a few years but i wont spoil it just in case you haven't seen it.
