A band from Brigend, Wales. Their main genre is Metalcore, however they do pull from some Emocore. Their guitar is very metalish, and they have some really nice riffs. Their songs contain a lot of screaming, so if you don't like that type of singing, don't listen to them. They are very good live, and put on a great show. They recently released "The Poison", containing their most well-known song "Tears Don't Fall". They have four members, Matthew Tuck, Michael Paget, Jason James and Michael Thomas.
(At a concert...)
Matthew Tuck (frontman of Bullet For My Valentine) : ARE YOU READY FOR SOME BRITISH METAL?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Person 1: HELL YES I AM.
Person 2: ME TOO.
*start moshing*

A very good metalcore band that takes influences from bands like Metallica, Iron Maiden and Slayer. They've released two albums so far: The Poison and Scream Aim Fire.
Despite what people say, they are NOT emo. Emo is a style of hardcore punk. If you're going to call them emo because of their confessional lyrics, you might as well call Patsy Cline emo.

Person 1: Bullet for my Valentine is so emo!
Person 2: They are metalcore. Emo is a totally different genre.

The greatest fucking band of all time!!! Anyone who says they are "emo" should fuck off. These guys are straight hardcore, heavy metal. Besides, there's nothing wrong with "emo" anyway. Matt Tuck is not only an amazing screamer but is a great singer as well and a badass guitarist. Michael "Padge" Paget is, in my mind one of the greatest guitarists in the world right now. Most of his shit is complicated to play and diificult to even think up. Jason "Jay" James is a great bassist who holds the insane rhythm of every Bullet For My Valentine song. Along with this, he is a totally brutal screamer. And last, but not least, Michael "Moose" Thomas is one of the top 5 drummers on the planet in my opinion. Just listen to the drumming in any of their songs. Bullet has 3 albums out right now. First is the 2005 EP, "Hand Of Blood", featurings songs such as "Hand Of Blood", "4 Words (To Choke Upon)", "Just Another Star" and "Curses". Their second, and first full length release is 2006's "The Poison" which includes the songs "Tears Don't Fall", "Suffocating Under Words Of Sorrow", "All These Things I Hate (Revolve Around Me)", "Hit The Floor", And "The Poison". Their latest release, 2008's "Scream Aim Fire" shows the bands more metal side with songs like "Scream Aim Fire", Waking The Demon", "Hearts Burst Into Fire", "Eye Of The Storm", "Disappear" and "Ashes Of The Innocent". Bullet has also covered songs from Ozzy Osbourne (Crazy Train) and Metallica (Creeping Death, Sanitarium). That's all you need to know bitches! Peace!
I am listening to Bullet For My Valentine, the sweetest fucking band in the world!
Really? What song?
Tears Don't Fall, Recognize! The greatest song ever made!

An emo band from the UK, whos fanbase consist of teenagers in denial of what their genre is, who will go to great lengths to advertise the band on such websites as www.urbandictionary.com, in the hope that a person who is not a fan of their music will be converted by visiting their website and seeing their clearly un-emo song titles.
The band attempts to increase their reputation within the heavy metal community by covering songs by heavy metal bands, and turning up at inappropriate heavy metal festivals where it is quickly apparent they don't belong.
Bullet For My Valentines biggest financial weakness is it's fans, who are unable to fathom that their favourite band is in the genre of Emo; although their album sales are substantial enough to keep them is business, a large percentage of their fans aren't able to get permission from their parents to go see them in concert.

Person A: Bullet For My Valentine. They're the best band ever, even though I won't listen to anything else. Visit their website.
Person B: No thank you, I don't want to visit their website.

A shitty metalcore band who, for some reason, everybody i no likes. They suck. They do not deserve to play metal. Anybody who is a huge fan of them is not a true metalhead. If you think they are okay, I think you're wrong, but I forgive you, as long as you like some real metal bands too. Fuckin Emo pieces of shit.
Person 1: "Dude, I LOVE Bullet for My Valentine."
Person 2: (Laughing) "Dude, go grow some nuts and start listening to some REAL metal, like Lamb of God or Metallica.

THEE most overated 'Metal Band' of this generation of Metal groups. They adhear to their record company's wishes, who are now the new brand of metal scaping the way for posers and naive fans. They have changed their sound to so they can be become popular, e.g, they were Nu-metal in the early 2000's when this music was at the height of popularity. Then that fad died, they next became Metalcore around the mid 2000's, because theis was now the new trendy style of Metal. Then that died, so they completely ripped of Post thrash pioneers Trivium and Lamb Of God, aswell as stealing many riffs from Iron Maiden and Slayer. Now trying just to be metal, singing about war and bloodshed, they're fans didn't like it, so they encorperated the Bullet formula, of Intro, verse, chorus, verse, chorus, breakdown, Solo, guitar harmony, end. Singing about teenage love over 4 chords, and trundling along in pop music timing, with the Vocals heavily auto tuned.
They have done nothing new for metal, they just play to the trends, and try and look bad ass, but having those sweet sweet lyrics to make 13 year old girls cream in the front row. They are not one bit innovative, and always complain about sony not letting them do what they want, well why don't they move to nuclear blast or roadrunner then?, oh yeah, song give 'em a shit load of money.

Great Metalcore band. Signed by Trustkill Records in the USA. Currently touring the US. Their lyrics do have an emo side. They however, are NOT emo. And the people who listen to them are definitely NOT emo. Go to their concert, look and see. I saw 1 fat goth guy. No emos. The rest were crazed highschool metalheads.
