Bullet For My Valentine, Avenged Sevenfold And Atreyu To Tour Australia
Band Photo: Atreyu (?)
BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE, AVENGED SEVENFOLD and ATREYU will team up for a six-show Australian tour in May. The dates are as follows:
May 06 - Riverstage Brisbane (All Ages)
May 07 - Hordern Pavilion Sydney (All Ages)
May 08 - Thebarton Theatre Adelaide (All Ages)
May 10 - Festival Hall Melbourne (All Ages)
May 11 - Metro City Perth (Under 18's)
May 12 - May Metro City Perth (18+)
Tickets go on sale on Friday, February 22 at 9:00 a.m.
The new BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE album, "Scream Aim Fire", sold 53,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 4 on The Billboard 200 chart. BULLET's first-week sales total is only eight thousand copies less than that of this week's chart-topper, ALICIA KEYS, whose No. 1 album is said to be among the the lowest-selling in modern chart history.
"Scream Aim Fire", has achieved the following first-week chart positions:
Japan: #1
Germany: #3
Australia: #4
USA: #4
United Kingdom: #5
A No. 4 debut might be sweet for BULLET singer Matt Tuck, who told The Pulse of Radio that making the disc was a difficult process. "Yeah, totally, every day for the last eight months, prior to it getting actually mixed and mastered and finished, it was like just a never-ending struggle every day, really," he said. "But, you know, it's definitely worth the work."
The CD follows up the group's acclaimed 2006 full-length debut, "The Poison", which has sold more than 375,000 copies in the U.S.
BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE will join AVENGED SEVENFOLD and ATREYU on this winter's Taste of Chaos tour beginning on February 29 in Denver.

hahahah, Bubba, that's what it comes down to sometimes :P
Every person attending these concerts is going to need permission from their parents... Hopefully the shows will be on a school-night, and nobody'll be able to go! :)

Ewww this lineup is awful. It's the ultimate poser-emo-core show... Oh well at least there are no good bands on there that would force me to buy a ticket with the the words "Bullet for my Valentine" printed in bold on it haha
Now playing: Pathogen- "Identity Theft"

Hey, A7X's Biggest Fan..

Writing that you dont like them on here isnt really "promoting" your hatred for them, this is a thread about this tour so of course poeple are going to write their opinions on each band. Its hardly the same as going on thier actual website and writing it to them and thier fans. I just don't really like them, the music is ok i guess but I hate the singers voice, it grates on me, plus have you ever read an interview with them? they seem really stuck up and pretentious.
I love atreyu and they were amazing live when I saw them last, but I dont really like their newer stuff all that much, however the curse is my favourite album so i hope they play alot of that (& Suicide Notes)
Anyways, i found out tickets are through venuetix, its just not on the site yet cos they don't go on sale until the 22nd (for anyone else going :) )

I've seen quit a few of my favorite bands getting bashed at their own official forums and yet I'm not b*tching...
And besides... this is METALUNDERGROUND, not wannabestars.com...
'There is hot chicks out there that want an honest guy even if he is a bit geeky'
I've yet to see one of those chicks...

should be a good gig :)
all three are very good bands
..not "wannabestars"
they are already stars in a lot of peoples minds..
maybe not your mind kallah
and anybody who appreciated music for music wouldn't call them wannabe stars..
anyway, should be a good night :)
...still waiting for caliban to tour down under though.....

how can you listen to good music like deicide and dimmu and listen to that horsesh**.
bullet and a7x are false metal bands, fake. a7x are not even metal.
Bullet get booed off the stage when they play with other bands, so are they really "stars"?
Where are my other bashers?
We really ought to set up a "basher's league" or somthing lol

dude, bullet are awesome so are a7x...atreyu's new stuff however a bit backwards but should still be awesome show...you narrowed minded losers...looked at a calender recently...the 80's have come and gone..time to move into the now and thats exactly what bullet are..

to each his own whatever the f*** happened to that millions like britney spears still and no one is b****ing about her all of the bands on this tour may be hated because they have had some commercial success but it has nothing to do with them selling out or being emo or whatever the f*** that is. Its due to the fact that people see the talent that they have (especially avenged) and if you hate them thats fine but to bash them on a site that is showing not a tour for deicide or maiden or any of those bands is pretty sad. just moved to aussie and ill be hitting up that brisbane show for sure and am sure it will be a decent show.

Really? No one here listens to Atreyu? C'mon, cccc'mmmmooonnn. I mean sure the vocals could be better, but do you guys hear that guitar? I mean it's no Freebird, but it's hard as sh** to learn, I mean I should know, I've been taking guitar lessons. I tried to start off with Atreyu, but failed miserably, I even had to learn to tune the guitar lower because they tune their guitars lower then most guitar players. So I ended up giving up and playing Smoke on the Water, not saying that's a bad song, it still kicks a$$ and it’s fun to play, but I will learn pretty much all of Atreyu’s songs one day because they’re my favorite band, well next to Sublime (love me some white crackers trying to do reggae-rock, {If I was a roach on a tree, tell me, would you smoke me, yeeaah}). But I digress; so anyway, I bet you all go to your rooms late at night when no one is watching, not like they would anyway, and blasting the music to all these bands with your stupid fluffy pink headphones. You know what you all need to do? You need to stop stuffing your bras with tissues and putting puppy dog hairs on your balls pretending that you've actually started puberty, and just grow the f*** up! I bet you they will be sold out everywhere or pretty d*m close to it. Oh and by the way, if you’re really not fronting and really hate Atreyu, then you'll really hate them now, cause just letting you know, each member in all those bands on tour, not just Atreyu, will get more punani then you could ever dream of getting in your life. S***, I bet Michael Jackson gets more punani then any of you a**holes, which is probably the only place you all will ever be f***ed b****s. I'd let anyone of them do me before any of you losers. This has been reality check with Deborah, later duds. Oh and if there are any real Atreyu fans out there, holla out, I need some supporters.

How did I miss the one comment that rocked? It was the last one, right above the Post Your Comment, before I had entered mine, oh I guess you all can see that. Anyway, pistol, you're my man or woman, it's cool either way, even if you're both. I'm going to the concert in Fairfax, Virginia, wouldn't miss it for the world, even though I have to drive four and a half hours, but those four and a half hours will go by so fast and rock so hard because I'll be blasting Avenged Sevenfold, Bullet for my Valentine, Atreyu, and a few of my other favs like Sublime of course, All That Remains. and Shadows Fall, what, no one can seriously hate on these bands, right?

That's what I'm talking about Nelson. Cruor, you're ok. And for Shadows Fall, you only liked those 2? What about The Light That Blinds? I love that song! This tour is going to Fairfax on March 16th and I will be there with my band and my peeps, holding it down for this tour that comes from the most rocking core of H-e-l-l (by the way those are i's, I didn't do anything bad, unless you want me to; not really, sorry for getting your hopes up).

lol
so much anger guys!
just leave it at these: if you hate the bands, dont post on this thread... whats the point?
if you love the bands, great! but you dont have to call people that dont like them f***heads or whatever, thats just being even more judgemental and f***in stupid!
To Ricanlatina21 I'm a real Atreyu fan! They are my favourite band, which i know may make me seem lame to half the poeple here, but i dont care, I love them.... not so much the later stuff, but the curse has been my favourite album for the past 5 years or so, i never get sick of it. I saw them when they came last year (maybe the year before) and they were so amazing live, I cant wait to see them again.
Also, to whoever said that the Sydney show is going to rock... Adelaide gigs kick ass! Im not just saying that cos im from here, but I have been to shows in Sydney and Melbourne expecting them to be way more hardcore (just because of the city size I guess) but they were all tame and pretty lame. I know all bands probably say "you guys are the best f***ing crowd ever" to every city on their tour, but I believe it when they say it here... cos Adelaide moshes go OFF!!! Anyone care to back me up?? :)

Well put Erin. Yes I might have been a little judgmental and overly passionate towards all the douche bags here; for that, I apologize, I really didn't mean it. You can listen to whatever you want, and if you hate Atreyu, that's perfectly fine, you can just kiss my a$$.

So I'm guessin those last 20 or so comments were from the same person? jesus! get a f***in life mate!
and about the whole emo thing... does anyone really know what it is? a few random people have actually yelled at me to go cut my wrists n sh**, n that im an emo f***er, it pisses me off so much! Most of the music I listen to could in no way be considered emo, except by idiots that know sh** all about music, I dont even have gay hair! lol. and the way I dress i guess is considered emo, but I have been dressing this way since I was in high school (about 6 years ago), emo didnt even exist back then, people used to yell "punk" or "goth" at me... i havent changed at all but now poeple think I am depressed and cut myself!!! im actually a very happy person :)
I got a bit off track here, it just annoys me when poeple call me emo

theres a lot worse bands out there than these 3, there just not metal at all, they're mainstream hard rock, except atreyu, theyre just f***ing emo. and thats y these bands get booed off at real metal festivals because theres much better out there than sh**ty emo"metal" bands that sell out and are stuck up pricks that think theyre better than everyone else.
120. writes:
thefunpalace and everyone else who calls bands like these emo or not metal are all WANKERS.
how can you say they're not metal at all. theyre all metal bands, just not the same kind of metal as bands like slayer...
all of their music is brilliant, just because you dont like their vocals you automatically say they're emo.
if you acctually knew music you would appreciate the way they play their music and how talented they are at that, not just focus on how their voices sound.
they're all brilliant bands in their own respects. and they don't sell out, they try new things and EXPERIMENT, it shows how brilliant they are that they don't care about wankers like you, that they still like to experiment with new sounds.
i'd much prefer listening to one band with four different sounding albums, than listen to one with four albums that all sound almost identical.
