Moose: "I just want to play heavy metal"
Matt Tuck "well I don't"
...
2021
Matt: "this album is heavy as fuck".
I mean you could say there's a difference between heavy metal and just metal. Knives is a really brutal track but it doesn't have the thrashy riffs, the harmonies and solos and all that stuff.
@@Nestorglass i just hope they go back to their usual metalcore stuff
@@sadpotato7029 i bet there's gonna be at least a bit of that on the new record but I think the focus will be mostly raw heaviness.
@@Nestorglass a 2nd single released and it’s just as heavy as knifes. With some cleans and a solo
I think Matt was referring to Gravity
Really is shitty because Bullet was one of my most favorite bands for years. I still love them. Moose's skills were bar none and especially inspiring that he was self-taught. I still live for his drumming in the Bullet songs. I was okay with Jay being gone but for it to be down to just Matt and Padge as original members, it is bittersweet. Also, I admire Matt a ton but that is so shitty that he didn't want to do heavy metal because I always viewed the band in metal and I personally think it would have given Bullet the extra push they have been needing for years. I mean us veteran fans have practically begged for it to be heavier again. Either way, I hope they ended on good terms and hope the best for both bands.
i was spewing when jay left and now moose too! it sucks
Hey hey relax. First of all Bullet is gonna make a really heavy record for us (especially for those who love the heavy metal/thrashy vibe they had). Secondly, come on... it's bound to happen that you can't do something over and over again. Matt really wanted to do this album his way because it was really personal for him, I don't need to explain why. And yes, Gravity is a really good record. I do agree we don't get to see Padge's creativity, sick leads but yeah I do love the record hella more than the previous ones. Moose made his decision by discontinuing with the band doesn't make them any weaker. Jason bowld has got some really good drumming skills too.
@@Sanjeet_1810 you better be right about that because I'm starting to think we're not getting another BFMV album or if we do, it'll be the last one. Not good with member names but the lead singer seems not willing to make the effort to improve his voice (i know he had issues in the past but if steve from kix can scream in his 60's and sound great, so can the lead singer of BFMV. But watching live performances after gravity was released, they just didn't seem to want to put much effort into anything
@@brandonryce6801 Apparently the next album is gonna be "The dirty lovechild of Gravity and Venom" according to Matt Tuck.
@@Anonymous-op6nj yeah, I hope so. I kind of want Something like their hand of.blood ep
It's so sad. When only a member take decisions for everyone is the end for a band.
Well I do agree Matt is kinda dominating, but even Padge cntributes to a lot of creative things. During Gravity, Matt said "I'm sick of making heavy metal with the traditional bullet formula" and Padge said it himself that he's known Matt for so long, so he definitely trusts his actions. It was nothing forced, and yes after that 3 4 years of break Bullet did come back heavier. So I think this is where Moose was impatient, but whatever good for him that he's doing well with KTL.
@@Sanjeet_1810 padge doesn't contribute as much as you would think Matt has even stated before he records all the guitars and all of the bass in the studio because he writes it and thinks it's tighter when he records it
@@nemesis8626 it's only the rhythm sections and bass. The leads are all by Padge. Some of the solos are so intricate, only Padge can play they buddy.
A lot of bands operate like that ice nine kills is a good example all the music and art ect Spencer gets the final say on all of it
You have zero clue what you’re talking about.
I went to Dallas during that tour and saw some dude on the drums. I thought, "Who the fuck is that?" I was expecting to see Moose kill it on the drums for my first time live. Sad day.
So basically Matt fucked up Bullet as much as he fucked up his voice...right?
Your awesome moose
Kinda disappointing that they couldn’t even tell moose to his face what was going on since they were friends and bandmates for so long. As a personal note, moose and their new bassist were lovely when I met them. They took the time to talk to us. Matt was stand off ish and Padge nearly pissed on my shoes 👠 LOL
Can you elaborate on that last part LMAO
yes, elaborate the last message 😂
Yes padge is not fun to be around at least as a fan, matt was alright , moose really down to earth cool guy.. but anyways now we are happy 'cause moose and Jay are back together on KILL THE LIGHTS
Funny anecdote : I met Moose breifly when i was a cringey little teenager (2008-9) It was at a service station, i saw him standing in a que and i ran up all like "Hey! Hey, yo BFMV are my favourite band"
then i asked him for a cigarette and he said he doesn't smoke. He seemed cool enough but i feel so embarrassed whenever i remember that
Dont get me wrong i love bullet, i really do. I love their music. But what i REALLY do love about their music is the heavy thunderous rhythm that moose plays. That is what i mostly like about it. But when moose left. I havent watched their concert ever since.
Ultimately, I don't mind Jay leaving/getting kicked out because I think Jamie is better (bass playing-wise, cant tell the difference imo, vocals Jamie is miles better) though obvs I like Jay too but replacing Moose in 2016/17 was a bad call, and Gravity just emphasised Moose's point, Jason is lucky their follow up was fucking brilliant because he really showed that he is right for the band.
I'll forever feel weird watching vids of The Poison in full live in Brixton 2016, because of all shows Moose should've been at in 2016, those should've been compulsory. If I were Matt, I wouldve called up Moose saying "mate, we're playing The Poison in full for these shows, are you free yet?"
They are metal as fuck now with the new album bro
I've been listening to BFMV since The Poison (2005 I think) but really thought the band was getting a bit stale and boring around Venom (2015) except a few good tracks. The latest album brought back the reason I listened to them in the first place so that one is pretty good. But if this is how they treat their members then I would consider that a dick move. My respect for the band have declined heavily now. Anyway, Kill The Lights are killing it! So good for Moose that he found another band to play in.
agreed, but they had some personal stuff going on tho so
Moose is really hard to interview. I mean, maybe it's not an easy thing to talk about bullet stuff but if so, then don't agree to an interview. It feelt really cringy that Johnny had to literally speak for both of them. Nevertheless shitty situatins that Tuck took control over the band. I really liked that guy but the more I read about him the more I'm losing intrest and even respect to that man. Feeling like he wants all the glory but when it's bad then it's the band issue. Today I was reading an interview with Bullets after Download Festival and was pleasantly surprised that they focused on every member not only on Matt. What I really liked about this interveiw was that Padge could share his feeling about upcoming album and Gravity as well. Like real feelings not shyli saying album is good and Gravity was also good becasue Matt's sitting next to him and judging. Recomment to read that interview
Is there a full version of this somewhere
Nick Kaminski yes. Right here on the drinks with Johnny UA-cam channel under the season 2 playlist. Subscribe so you don’t miss the next ones. Cheers 🍻
It still baffles me how Matt Tuck picked Jason over Moose and also how neither Padge nor Jamie said anything about it. Jason is not that good anyway
Jason bowld is one of the best technical drummers in the world dude - he’s probably been used on far more records than you realise too. He’s a much better drummer than moose believe it or not. I love moose but apparently both him and jay were both causing massive problems for the band ( drug / drink issues ) they had time away at a time that hindered the band and it resulted in the band wanting to move on . Everyone shat on the last album but I thought it was a clever move - it did get a wider audience listening and to be fair if you do one thing continuously it becomes boring and trying new things creatively is a good thing. In a recent interview on a podcast padge said they already have 20 songs which are all the heaviest songs they have wrote and Matt has already said that he wanted to create a muse of all they have already done. I think they are a cool band amd that it shows they aren’t one trick ponies. It’s sad that they aren’t the original line up but fuck man look how good Jamie is compared to jay. The dude is a mega vocalist ( better than Matt ) his bass tone is mega too. Iv seen them live back in the day and of more recent and I can tell you 100 percent they sound better live now than back then
@@ItsBigJC how did you find out that Moose and Jay had drug/drinking issues? I'm just curious. Also Jay really disappeared out of the spotlight.
@@Chaka596 I've watched some interviews along time and Matt was always concerned about how drugs could affect his band mates, he wasn't an antidrug dude, but he knew that sometimes things gone a bit further than it should
@@Chaka596 there has been several interviews with padge and Matt and padge did drinks with Johnny Christ and one podcast with the dude from bad wolves . You have to sort of piece the bits together to get the picture - you’ll see what I mean if you listen though. He said jay is now doing well and is helping people with addictions etc . They indicate lots of stuff happened behind the scenes. It sounded like for the benefit of going forward they had to cut them out. Not surprising as their rise to fame hit hard and fast and the lifestyle of not kept in check could easily get out of hand
@@ItsBigJC A lot of shit you said. Some true/fair points but dude, Jason Bowld is an average drummer. For technical drummers, I would be looking at Mike Portnoy (Ex Dream Theater), Mike Mangini (Dream Theater), Alex Bent (Trivium), Blake Richardon (BTBAM), Dave McGraw (Cattle Decapitation) just to name a few.
Also, I used to love BFMV but Matt is arrogant. In an interview, he said he records all the guitar parts on all albums except for Padge's solos because he thinks it is "tigher," having one hand do it.
Well, that is arrogant, and Padge is a FAR better player than Matt so if he wanted to go down that road he should have let Padge record everything.
The reason Moose left was because Matt wanted to write garbage pop songs and Moose did not want to do that. Watch Moose's new band Kill the Lights it is far better than BFMV.
I do love Jamie and must admit he is 100x better than Jay.
And Padge is severely underutilized. Look at gravity, he got 0 Solos. Like seriously.
Matt Tuck CAN NOT sing. He cannot hold or sustain notes, he is out of key and his voice has gotten worse and worse since he screams incorrectly. Watch the Poison live at Brixton 2006 and specifically the song the Posion and the chorus where he sings "holding onto you to keep from falling." Back then, Matt actually could sing and if you listen, he perfectly hits the high note. But if you watch 2016 for example, Matt cannot hit that note and struggles to hold basic notes.
To make BFMV great again, Matt needs to step down as lead and give that to Jamie as Jamie can sing and scream better. Then, they should utilize Padge a lot more and maybe look at Trivium and write more complex riffs and utilize a more majority of screaming vocals.
Man, I fucking hate whenever people make some dumbass fucking rumors about bullet kicked out Moose from Bullet and then say that they don't get along anymore, they still do get along, it's just moose didn't reconnected with Bullet after his departure and that's all.
Nope not true..
@@larisyiem4840 He admitted it tho
lol this is pretty crazy now....listen to their new singles....heavy as hell....dont really get what went wrong with them there
Matt Tuck happened...
Matt Tuck tried to turn them into a radio rock band and failed. He can’t write a catchy song anymore. So after failing to sell out he sold out on himself and made a heavy album because he needs to pay the rent somehow.
Yeah super critical take but Bullet’s perpetual decline since The Poison has been confusing and disappointing for 15 years now
Jeez Matt did him really dirty
Yea Matts a dickhead, its all business to him.
@@andrewdockrill i seen an interview Matt did with Loudwire, and he came off kinda arrogant when he mentioned that he recorded ALL the bass and guitar parts for all the albums. Kinda gave a vibe that he was a bit of a control freak. Kind of a buzz kill knowing he's like that.
@@metalrock1588 do you remember which video this was?
@@iamrichlol it was the wikipedia fact or fiction interview with loudwire
@@metalrock1588 yeah he said because he writes it it is alot tighter when he performs in live on recordings, both guitar and bass parts
First! Thanks for the videos Johnny!
The same thing happened with asking Alexandria, Danny was tired of playing metal and wanted to change the direction of the band, he didn’t have as much control of the bad as Matt does so he left. Granted things with AA got better but they make rock now not metal.
With no Moose & Jay I never really got back into them and from what I have heard since I'm glad I didnt stick around
Moose and jay... grow some balls.... tell the truth...
Tuck is a dictator
Riveting
I really love BFMV but what a dick move, holy shit
Destroying an eternity-long friendship like that
New drum sound doesnt have the same feel as the originals
Matt tuck ruined Bfmv
Matt also is BFMV. Band wouldn'y be anything without him.
Weather you like there new direction is irrelevant though, they still sell out shows and have fans that do like the new material, I prefer there older stuff too, but they don't write to cater to anyone one individual and there still doing well for themselves
Good for Moose, Bullet sucks now anyways.
fuck you dude
@@viniciustoledo8195 touchy touchy haha
moose always seemed like an idiot to me, pay attention to this podcast... he can't even express what he wants to say... it's always "huh" "mmhm" totally different from the current bfmv where you have real smart dudes who are always improving themselves and getting new perspectives for their own tracks and gigs
@@viniciustoledo8195 absolutely agree, never liked the guy, listening to bfmv from the beginning and the current lineup is the most brutal so far
@@viniciustoledo8195 People in any sort of spotlight have to take care with what they say in interviews. He probably has a lot of stuff he wants to say, but legally it's best if he keeps it to a minimum.
Bullet shit so gay. Put on Powerslave or Flotsam !
Wow cool story bro, tell it to someone who cares
