As an American, I find it easier to sing Bullet with Matt's Half English-Half Welsh Accent than in my native one. If you sing it like an American, it sounds out of tune.
jayemm23 yeah,I remember Padge talk about this in an interview that Matt admit Padge have better skill than him ,but it’s Matt taught Padge how to downpick so fast in waking the demon,So I think Matt’s downpicking is better than Padge :)
Eric Valverde he is. So am I, I find myself down picking songs harder than any Metallica song I know. Except this song, I find it hard to downpick this main riff butt Matt probably wrote it so it came natural to him
That's nuts! in this riff it's so much more natural to alternate to get the open string sound, but he's such a monster downpicker he's like "Nahh fuck it"
First time I see BFMV in Guitar world been a listener since the days of “Hand of Blood” glad your guys still playing Much Love From Buffalo New York!🙏🏽✊🏽🤘🏽🤟🏽
Yea it's not the bullet we all know and love. I mean that album didnt sound bad like I get that they wanted to incorporate more electronics into even though I remember once upon a time they said they would never put down the guitar for electronic sounds. But idk I just didn't feel the new album as much as the previous ones.
Where would you put a solo on this song that wouldn't break the forward momentum of this song? It's pretty tight structurally as-is and there's no nu-metal style instrumental breakdown in lieu of a solo, so to insert a 16 or 32 bar shredfest somewhere would've been unnecessary fat to an already long enough pop-structured song - in that when it's over, it's making me think, "I'm satisfied; that was a good song." I can handle really long not-pop oriented metal songs and love a good solo that can add something to a song, but it would feel like filler if there was one in this song. Now other songs on the record, sure. Could've had a few in there.
There’s an interview where Matt talks about why they strayed from the more dynamic guitar to experiment with electronic, ambient, and pop sounds. Something they’ve not really done much of before.
Would love to see more BFMV in Guitar World! They are my favourite band after all! Oh Padge should re-release his signature guitar for sale now that I have a job and can afford one!!!
ghhdtui I guess there really isn’t a correct way if it works . I hold my pick weird but it works . I guess I did break my finger as well a few years back so maybe why !
I believe Matt turns his pick to its side in order to produce much less attack during tremolo picking. I’ve tried this out on Matt’s section of tremolo picking on Walking the Demon, and it sounds a bit better to my ears. On the other hand, I’ve much preferred picking as a pick was intended to be used during Padge’s section of harmony tremolo on the track.
Why isn’t the whole gravity album like this song?? This is literally the only good song! These guys remind me of how Linkin Park turned away from their heavier stuff and produced nothing but lullabies. Please BFMV. More of this please 🤘🏼 #BFMV
Because it wouldn't have been honest. Venom was such an unreasonably safe playing record that I almost want to put Gravity above it. I already have it above Scream Aim Fire and Temper Temper.
They released Don't Need You two years before the rest of the album. By the time they got to the rest of the songs, they were headed in a different direction. They even remixed the guitar tones on Don't Need You to sound like the rest of the songs on the album.
Epic! BFMV used to be my favorite band, now is not, I used to listen to them everyday, every guitar solo used to be epic, now it’s just one more band in my playlist, I hope they take back to do heavy music like “the poison” or “venom”
@@mythmarv4771 1. Moose left, Jay left, I mean the new bassist is a beast, but man, Jay was the essence. 2. The solo's used to be really epic, I wrote this comment 3 years ago, the new album is amazing. 3. In alive shows Padge used to have many screaming parts, that made them look more dynamic, now Jamie does all that parts, don't know is weird for me is like watching; Jamie, Matt and company.
the album is more about guitars serving the songs! i think this move is great for the band trying to challenge themselves! im very sure the next album will have some great solos !
Its sad to not see any of the classic double guitar parts Its probably Matt/the label that doesn't allow padge to do his magic. Lets be honest what made bullet so good was Padge
