Bullet For My Valentine Forced To Cancel Shows

posted Jun 21, 2007 at 8:07 PM by MindSlavor. (37 Comments)

Welsh metallers BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE have cancelled the following dates:

Jun. 29 - Spain, Bilbao (w/ METALLICA)
Jun. 30 - Germany, Freiburg, MTV Campus Invasion
Jul. 03 - UK, London Islington Academy
Jul. 05 - Austria, Vienna (w/ METALLICA)
Jul. 08 - UK, London Wembley Arena (w/ METALLICA)

Commented the band: "Frontman/lead singer Matt Tuck was due to have a tonsillectomy mid-July but, due to unforeseen complications, the operation had to be brought forward at the last minute at the advice of Matt's doctor. Matt is recovering well but has been ordered not to sing for a minimum four-week period, which means that the band have no choice but not to play the shows listed above.

"The band are hugely disappointed but will be going back into the studio as soon as Matt's health is back to 100% to put the finishing touches to the highly anticipated follow up album to 'The Poison', due out late 2007."

Matt Tuck was unable to speak but wrote from his bed: "If I'd known my tonsils were going to cause me to miss shows like these I'd have fucking ripped them out myself long ago. I am totally gutted at not being able to play these shows and the only consolation the boys and I can take from it is that we are now fully focused on the album and we'll be back in the studio as soon as the doctors say I can sing again. I truly can't wait for you fuckers to hear it!"

Its not the sperm sandwiches that f***ed his throat but the deep throatin of all his gay male groupies he invites backstage definitely has somethin to do with it. Saw this sh**ty excuse for a band open up for Iron Maiden. Why they were on that bill I have no f***in clue, but holy sh** they made the wait for Maiden to take the stage excruciating.

I'm so sick of reading hate mail about this band, their solid musically and they seem to be passionate about their intentions. If I had to choose a side i'd rather be on the right side of the bullet as opposed to in front of it....is there any true bullet fans out there?

k hold the f*** up, bullet being emo? when the f*** do emo bands tour with iron maiden and metallica dumb ass....and he's got something f***ed up with his tonsils dumb a$$ it happens, and yeah if u think they sounded a lil emo on the last record, check out the new one when it comes out cuz matt requested not to write about his past relationships and start writing about other stuff, and they rnt playing in drop c tuning anymore so its a lil less heavy than songs like her voice resides n stuff, but the DGCFAD tuning they play in now sounds f***in sick on their new song scream aim and fire

and yeah to that one guy, im a true bullet fan, u definitely rnt alone cuz we got like 2650 ppl in a facebook group bout em.

they're not emo, they're just generic metalcore-lite like trivium and they don't make good music.

Anyway enough said they aint playing and this has just been posted on blabbermouth "MACHINE HEAD has replaced BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE as one of the opening acts for METALLICA on July 8 at the Wembley Stadium in London, England. Also scheduled to appear are H.I.M. and MASTODON." I so hope this is true!!!!!!

BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE cancelled its appearance at Wembley and several other European dates in order to allow frontman Matt Tuck to undergo tonsillectomy (a surgical procedure in which the tonsils are removed).

MACHINE HEAD NOW CONFIRMED TO SUPPORT METALLICA AT WEMBLEY! Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww Yes! Gone live on metallica's official site! Don't get me wrong I wanted to see BFMV but this is a totally different ball game!!! So, shame about the tonsils dude but stay in hospital and bring on Machine Head! See you in a circle pit! All we need now is Slayer as a surprise act!!!! Oh, and Mastadon to play after MH? What is that about?

I hope Matt Tuck's (Sorry. I should say Matt f***'s) tonsil thing goes wrong, and he won't be able to sing anymore, and BFMV won't be able to complete their new album.

This story has put a smile on my face. BFMV is bad music two-point-zero.

There's nothing wrong with BFMV. They're not emo at all, Matt is an excellent singer, and they have some pretty good stuff.

BFMV r an awesome band, and wot the f*** hav gay comments got 2 do with the music that they make neway. U dont like a bands music so therefore they r gay, yeah that makes alot of sense. The only reason u make comments like that is coz u cant think of ne good reason to slag them off, they produce good music, great combination of guitaring and vocals. U jealous f***s

Despite what I might think or what other people post, bfmv is one of the few band that sit on top of the metal world right now. Think about it.... you dont just get to open for metallica, you EARN that right. Just wait till their new album comes out, I belive it will silence even their harshest critics.

Dude rk, i not cool. I dont give a sh** what any of you think of bfmv. You are entitled to your opinion. But a, you cant dis on metallica, im mean come on. whether they are old or not, they can still f****ing rock. And for those of you who feel the need to bring out the gay comment, (not quite sure why it has to be gay, but i guess that just goes to show your lvl of intelligence so what the bloody f*** ever) i think you make it perfectly clear what you must spend a lot of time thinking about.

Being a little hypocritical here i guess but i have to say, you "fans" arent painting your selves out to be mother f***ing saints either. Do you really feel the need to strike back at the like prick and wankers who feel the need to sh** on others names to make them feel better about their pathetic lives. Come on, your above that now so show a little dignity for f*** sake.

And for anyone who looks down on the welsh, i got one thing to say to you, suck my f***ing c*** you c***y little bastards.

Lets hear where the band goes next, as i sadly enjoyed many of the lyrics that the poison album brought. You could tell that they were from the heart and sung with passion, and even though it was a bit emo a times, singing with that type of conviction is what will make a good band great.
