BMFV RAGE!!!

The Welsh metalcore band, Bullet For My Valentine, hosted Australian music video show Rage last night. Had first heard their music from playing Need for Speed: Most Wanted. Song was Hand of Blood, pretty neat track. In my metalcore phase a few weeks back, decided to have a listen to their Hand of Blood EP and that too made for nice listening.

I believe it was Matt Tuck and Michael Thomas that hosted the show. Their playlist is as follows:

Metallica - Fade to Black (live)
Metallica - Master of Puppets (live)
Metallica - Whiplash (live)
Motörhead - Ace of Spades
Mötley Crüe - Kickstart My Heart

Bring Me the Horizon - Chelsea Smile
Corrosion of Conformity - Clean My Wounds
Meshuggah - Bleed

My thoughts (as opposed to yours):
- Rather solid rock and metal playlist (omg, I consider metalcore to be metal). Perhaps a bit boring and generic, but hey, they were all great tunes. I actually gave up after Karnivool and went to sleep (how untrve of me... kinda regret it actually).
- I should get myself more Metallica albums, only ever heard the popular tracks really. Only albums I've listened to whole are Kill 'em All and St. Anger. Excuse me one second while I vomit.
- Was cool to see Newstead singing on "Whiplash".
- I really don't like the old heavy metal hair look of long hair with short front.
- "Jesus Christ Pose" has such a cool music video... "Stinkfist" as well. You probably already knew that. I've also realised that Chris Cornell sounds a lot like Brian Johnson. Screeching vocals ftw.
- "Holy Wars". Long hair, no shirt, really tight jeans. Winning combination.
- I really enjoyed Trivium's "Pull Harder On The Strings of your Martyr". Might have to investigate further (though the first time I heard them, I didn't like their music at all).
- The BFMV lads were nice, genuine fellows. In introducing the Jimmy Eat World track, Tuck commented that as long as a song has great melodies and a sweet chorus, all was good. I think the same thing, therefore I am Matt Tuck.
