  • For the last few years, Bullet For My Valentine has been recommended quite a bit, but I've never taken the plunge. Why? Maybe its because I love Valentines, but not too sure about bullets. I did read that they were influenced by Metallica and Iron Maiden, so that has me exceptionally intrigued!
    Join professional opera singer Elizabeth Zharoff, as she listens to Bullet For My Valentine for the first time, performing "Knives".

    I haven't heard their newer stuff, but what I will say is if this were me suggesting BFMV, I would've gone with something older; Hand of Blood, Four Words (To Choke Upon), Tears Don't Fall, and Scream Aim Fire are all much better examples of BFMV's vocal chops in my opinion.

      I feel like this band is an embarassing reminder of things I liked as a teen. Older stuff was definitely better for a reaction however.
      No matter what though, it's a very nasally and distorted...and there's lots of studio production added to their vocals.

    Anyone starting with BFMV absolutely *has* to start with Tears Don't Fall. It's the perfect song for a band with a name like theirs, and it's absolutely ICONIC. Also of note, a lot of the backing screams are done by their bassist, Jamie. Some of it is certainly vocal layering, but Matt and Jamie are a duo straight out of hell with their vocals.

    For reference, the name Bullet for My Valentine is most thematically tied to the first and second EP and first album. Hand of Blood lyrics "There goes my valentine again / Soaked in red for what she said / And now she's gone!". Pretty one to one reference to the band name. Almost the entire The Poison album is about toxic relationships. Every song but 10 years today seems like its connected to the same theme. That one is a different type of grief altogether. Even the bonus track "My Fist, Your Mouth, Her Scars" is about beating a man half to death over the man putting hands on his girlfriend. The metaphorical bullet is still for his valentine but "on behalf of" instead of "directed toward". From the second album forward the overarching theme is not as set in stone, though when they revisit that theme the song always seems to be good storytelling, incredibly aggressive, or some combination of both.

  • @adambausse2726
    @adambausse2726 ปีที่แล้ว +44

    As many people already said here, their older stuff is a lot more intense from a vocal perspective. His screams were so intense on the first album and tour cycle, that he passed out while recording, doing the intro scream to "Tears dont fall" for example and eventually lead to him losing his voice completely on the albums tour. He had to build it back from the ground up. So he is definietly using his voice in a lot safer manner now, than he did "back in the day".

      @ninjafang What a place is the internet, right ? Having someone comment under my comment, who actually saw them when they were that new, wow :D Lucky you ! And i actually watched that video that you linked, before i posted my comment, to fact check myself/refresh my memory about this vocal incident he had. By the way i was 10 in 2006 and had no idea this band existed 😅 Cheers !

    • @CoffeeMatt10
      @CoffeeMatt10 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      What you said about Matt blowing out his vocals, if you listen to Eye Of The Storm from Scream, Aim, Fire! you can hear his voice giving out. So not only was he wrecking his voice on tour, but he was still pushing through it during recording for the follow up album. Thankfully he worked on his vocal technique and endurance, and now they are putting out probably the heaviest stuff they’ve done since SAF

  • @MYzzNIGHTMARE
    @MYzzNIGHTMARE ปีที่แล้ว +69

    Many of their older songs showcase his clean singing much better than their recent releases, and imo his cleans have always been his biggest draw as a vocalist.

    @IXxXFlayXxXI ปีที่แล้ว +21

    Bullet has done a lot of different style over the albums. The middle ones are particularly softer and less harsh vocals. Matt also had a surgery on his vocal chords after their 1st album and could barely project his voice for a while at all after that. An interview with you and him about that would be amazing!

    Love this band. I've been listening to them since about '05. Curses, Hand Of Blood, All These Things I Hate, Venom, and so many others are so theraputic when I feel a certain way. I love how Matt Tuck doesn't seem to lose his accent while singing. He keeps the Welsh accent while doing vocals for the band. It's also amazing how his voice is still so strong after he had his tonsels removed. I heard his voice when they played an acoustic version of Tears Don't Fall about a week after the surgery. You could definitely hear the difference, but he was still maintaining the entire time. Keep it metal. \m/

    The band that got me into Metal originally and still one of my all time favourites! Just a bit of a strange song choice for a first timer. You should definitely check out some of their older stuff like "Tears Dont Fall", "Scream Aim Fire", "All Those Things I Hate" or "Hand of Blood". Also "Hearts Burst Into Fire" or "Road to Nowhere" for their softer sound.
    Basically anything from The Poison, Scream Aim Fire and Fever would be a better reflection of their general sound and Matt´s clean vocals, I think. ^^

    Elizabeth, I am so happy that you found BFMV and had so much fun with this song. BFMV is probably my 2nd favorite band behind Trivium (HIGHLY recommended) so it's always nice to see people enjoy them.
    As you've seen from other comments, this album is the band's newest and a definite return to their roots. It would be very fun to watch you continue your discovery of the band in reverse order of their record releases.
    Before leaving this album I'd recommend listening to 'Rainbow Veins'.
    Going to their album Gravity, try 'Over it', 'Don't need you' and/or 'Piece of Me'.
    The Venom album has many good tracks such as 'You Want a Battle (Here's a War)', 'Worthless', and 'Playing God'.
    For Temper, Temper check out 'Dirty Little Secrets' and 'Saints & Sinners'.
    Fever (my favorite album of theirs) you can't really go wrong with any tracks but highlights include 'Your Betrayal', 'A Place Where You Belong', and 'Pretty on the Outside'.
    The band embraced their thrash-ier side on Scream Aim Fire. Try 'Scream Aim Fire', 'Waking the Demon', and 'Hearts Burst into Fire'.
    The Poison is BFMV's breakout album, the one that firmly got them into the metalcore scene. I'd recommend listening to the entire album front to back if you have the time. So many good songs. Though the 2 that likely stand out the most from a popularity standpoint would be 'Tears Don't Fall' and '4 Words (To Choke Upon)'.
    I hope you continue to check out the band even if you don't do video reactions for them I think you'll have a lot of fun.
    Thanks!

    Since you’re back into metalcore
    I think bad omens would be a great addition to the channel. Noah Sebastian has arguably the best clean vocals in the genre

    Your Betrayal has one of my favorite intro segments in all of Metal music. Love that song.

    “A place where you belong” is the name of the song I believed. It’s older but more vocals for you to analyze. Feel like you would like it definitely more mellow. The fever album is my favorite out of all of them

  • @tolsen8212

    The song is a banger, but there are about a hundred other BFMV songs I would recommend for a vocal analysis over this one. Anything from the first or second album for sure. The vocals are really low in the mix in this song and they are mostly just whispered growls. It's a missed opportunity here.

  • @alyona2222

    Honestly speaking, Matt is not so good vocalist but he is definitely the best songwriter for me. I recommend their softer tracks:
    A Place Where You Belong - my favorite song from them. It makes me cry every time I listen to it.
    Bittersweet Memories, Say Goodnight, Dead To The World, P.O.W., Venom are also beautiful songs.
    I like more their melodic tracks. When 'Knives' was released, I was afraid to hear it. And finally I listened to it a year later (in July 2022) when I was at their gig for the first time. It sounds live better than in studio version. From the self-titled album I'd recommend Death By A Thousand Cuts and Can't Escape The Waves as they have clean vocals and amazing choruses.
    And from older tracks I also recommend Alone, The Last Fight, You Want A Battle, Hell Or High Water, Take It Out On Me (feat. Benji Webbe).

  • @Drinckx2
    @Drinckx2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I saw them live a while back. Didn't know much about them but I went because one of their support acts was Jinjer. Went for Jinjer, stayed for BFMV. They were very good (and it was a local gig for them in Swansea; they're from Bridgend, South Wales). This is, it seems, one of their more extreme songs, they seemed more classic thrash to me.

    I didn't even notice their panning is so off the charts untill I saw you react to it just now.. Especially the amount of 'knives' that kept sweeping from left to right, just before the breakdown at the end.

  • @Zinetha
    @Zinetha ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Omg, they used to be my favourite band in my late teens! I had never been to a concert alone before and I paid about 150€ in festival tickets and travel expenses to see them live hundreds of kilometres away from home when I was 18...
    I've never heard this song before and it still sounds nostalgic to me...

    • @CoffeeMatt10
      @CoffeeMatt10 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      The whole album is mint, the deluxe edition is even better. I’ve seen them 8 times, 3 of those on this tour cycle, and each time has been amazing.

  • @FELiPES101

    I feel like my love for this band grows every album release. It’s fuckin crazy how good Mathew is. It almost feels like there’s two front men because I don’t even recognize some of the sounds he is making. Also, top tier guitar work as usual.

  • @AR-bj5et

    If you want to hear them go a little softer the Hearts Burst into Fire is a great one. My personal fave by them and one of my personal faves in general.

  • @tallonmetroids271
    @tallonmetroids271 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    If you want a really good showcase of Matt's clean vocals, Road To Nowhere is a fantastic song for it. It's also a pretty damned good ballad in general.

  • @dethincarnate1149

  • @pauladrian7999
    @pauladrian7999 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Just realised this band released their debut album “The Poison” back in ‘05. I was 10 back then. How the years just go by. In early ‘06 I picked up a copy of Need for Speed most Wanted and when I heard Hand of blood for the first time I was completely hooked. I’m a metal fan ever since. Those guys rocked hard back in the day. God I miss those days 🤘

  • @Dimas_Lau
    @Dimas_Lau ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Bullet has various degrees of lyrical and vocal depth, this album was the revival of the "old Bullet" with new modern metal elements. Now that you were presented to it, wellcome! And now before you check out the most well known songs like "Tears don't fall", please go for "10 Years Tonight" and "The Harder the Heart", they are such bangers regarding both Matt vocal performance, and meaningful lyrics

  • @sherlockdomes5877
    @sherlockdomes5877 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Never would've thought that I'd see a vocal analysis of my favorite band here. Sweet!
    However, this song is probably not gonna paint enough of a picture to really understand what Matt is capable of. I'd recommend the song "The End" off their first record "The Poison". It has equally calm and aggressive parts, and it is an interesting and storytelling song for sure. It just has a little bit of everything.
    If you want to delve more into his cleans, "Venom", which is the title track of their fifth record, is probably a good one. There's like one harsh vocal in it, which also happens to be pretty good, but that's besides the point. "The Last Fight" from their third record "Fever" also has some really good cleans.
    If you're looking for more harsh vocals, "Her Voice Resides" is very likely what you're looking for. That song also has a very beautiful intro, which is a seperate song on the album (also "The Poison") and I would really recommend to listen to as well, as it just is part of the song in my eyes.
    Lastly, I'd like to thank you for doing these in-depth videos where you really take your time and dive into small details a lot of listeners won't even notice.
    Keep it up!
    Warm greetings,
    a silent viewer

  • @roge0934
    @roge0934 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    Can I recommend if you analyze them again, the song "Tears Don't Fall" or "Scream, Aim, Fire," yes it's overplayed and I don't care. Also, there is a really good video of them performing Live at the K! Pit where they play in a dive bar in London. Super neat to watch and I think the analysis would be great on them live.

    • @CoffeeMatt10
      @CoffeeMatt10 ปีที่แล้ว

      One thing I love about Bullet, they will play wherever… I’ve seen them play at Wembley Arena to about 10k people, at Download Festival, a few standard sized (2k-5k capacity) venues, and at a couple of cramped little nightclubs to 100-150 people. So whether a full arena, a festival, a standard music/arts venue, or a dive bar/nightclub, they aren’t “too big” to play them.

  • @nathanetchoe2335
    @nathanetchoe2335 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I think it's pretty kool that you started with knives. It's off their most recent album and is different from what other reactors may do. Watching a reaction of a older song is still badass but at the same time you kind of already know what to expect.

  • @Anthony_Soleri
    @Anthony_Soleri ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Since my childhood I have loved this band, my musical taste has gone through many genres over the years, from artists like Gregory Porter, Norah Jones, Jinjer, 2Pac, Luciano Pavarotti and most recently Sofiane Pamart. But every now and then I come back to Bullet for my Valentine.
    Edit: But only the old albums - The Poison - Scream Aim Fire - Fever- Temper Temper.

  • @tomisthehebitch
    @tomisthehebitch ปีที่แล้ว +10

    Interestingly, Matt the singer suffered from some pretty serious vocal damage after the first few years (possibly just after album 2) and it’s taken him a really long time to get back to sounding strong live again, which has to be well over a decade ago!!
    Look into something off the first 2 albums, they really exploded onto the scene back in the day.

  • @AdamGaffney96
    @AdamGaffney96 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    For BFMV I will say, I actually dropped off a bit in their middle couple of albums, however Knives brought me back, so I do still think this was a good choice of song for the heavier side of Bullet! However I'd love to see Tears Don't Fall, Scream Aim Fire, Hearts Burst Into Fire or Road To Nowhere (preferably all of course!). Matt's cleans are great and I'd love to see you tackle the tone on them.

  • @WestBuswell
    @WestBuswell ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I anxiously await for you to analyze these songs:
    "Nocturne" by Tesseract
    "Abandoned" or "Deadrose" by Unprocessed
    "Seven" by Phinehas
    I really think you'll enjoy them.
    BIG FAN OF THE CHANNEL!!! KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!!
