Why, with all the metal bands there are out there, have you got BFMV headlining? Is it because they’re Welsh??

I won’t be tempted to part with £80 if that’s what you come up with! the other bands on there are pretty good but BFMV are just not headlining material yet.

Bullet for my valentine – headlining
what the hell!
bullet are headling this!
and they are above saxon, u must be joking

BFMV? Bollocks!

Steves right Saxon should top it! SAXON FTW!

controversial choice, not sure if it`ll put a lot of people off tbh.

BFMV why?

how are these above saxon an hammerfall

you’d get alot more people if they wern’t there

Even as a fan of Bullet, iv got to agree with the above comments. Given their recent half-assed album, they shouldn’t be headlining.

Really? Bullet for my Valentine? Aren’t the tickets for this thing really expensive for what it is too?! Definitely not getting a ticket now. And Trigger the Bloodshed? FFS they support every live band in the UK, hardly epic… Saxon isn’t even that huge tbh…

I’m tempted by Cathedral and Grand Magus as well as a few others, but BFMV??? Jesus… Will see what the other bands are first before I get a ticket.

why bullet for my valentine? seriously

bullet for my valentine are you taking the fucking piss???

I couldn’t care less about BFMV either, but I expect having them headlining will sell a lot of tickets to K! readers. The rest of the lineup is ace. More than enough for me to overlook an iffy headline act. Saxon! Cathedral! Sabbat! Grand Magus! Awesome..! Plus I get an early night on the day BFMV headline! Alright!

I’m quite shocked at BFMV headlining though not disappointed. There’s already a cracking line up so far, and I’m looking foward to see which heavyweights are introduced to counteract BFMV Headlining as lightweights. Sort it out MH

omg!! BFMV, which is not even true metal, headlining hammerfest…..i am nt buyin the tckts…
u guys are gettin worst n worst everyday, even your magazine start writing the stories of slipknot n BFMV…fuck it…give some metal mate not shit…

I agree with all the above comments, but I am really glad to see Sabbat on the bill. I might be tempted if more class acts are added.

Becomes an excersize in branding. You think the guys that run metal hammer actually like Bullet for My Valentine? NOBODY likes Bullet for My valentine, anyone watch the sparse crowd at Reading & Leeds this year?

BULLET ARE THE BEST FUCKING BAND EVER!!!

apart from A7X and SLIPKNOT

but slipknot r way betta than A7X

anyway FUCK BFMV R FUCKIN ASOM WHEN I GET 2 HAMMERFEST AND PEOPLE R SAY SHIT LIKE THAT ITS GUNA TURN NASTY

hahaha check that mini mosher bumming a7x and bfmshitv
that is awfull BFMV headlining
im defo not goin now even tho the almighty saxon are playing
its the thought that my money is going towards them actually makes me sick
ive stopped readin metal hammer now any way iff this is what ur guna come up with for a headliner.

I actually DO like bullet ,but have to agree they are not right for this festival.The fan base that they attract is teens & not adult as this gig is aimed at .I thought we might get someone like slayer or testament to headline !! oh well !! Plus bloodstock is a whole lot cheaper !! you only get a grubby chalet to crash in thats extra !

DAN

U R A DICK HEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bless You Jack! hahaha

Bullet arnt not good enough to pull off a headline, the over 18 rule sucks, but most of upsetting of all jack is gunna turn nasty on me

I was at bullet for my valentines gig at alexandra palace and they fucking RULED!! as they are my favorite band im gonna say fuck you to all you people that dont like them and definatly gonna go just to see bullet and its gonna be awsome!! cant wait!!

Not massivly into BFMV but i totaly disagree with the above comment bout their crowd at Download coz i thought they played a good set and hada v good response.

Looks like a crackin’ lineup so far (especially Skindred)! Hell yes for Saxon, their newest album is ace! Could well be tempted if i can get some mates together like.

C’mon Alestorm! Show ‘em there are some damn good Scottish Metal bands!
(you bastards owe me for borrowing ma amp for a few olde Dundee gigs)

Sorry to say this is mediocre and overpriced. You could see a better line up at a little festival like Hellfire or Rock Off for half the price! And not have to go to North Wales!!!!

ARGH what thy fuck be thay playing at bullet headlining argh they be nothin but mere wankers argh to hell with them ALESTORM FTW

bit dull really – could’ve done a lot better! Bullet just played a load of big shows anyway – for a lot less money!

tbh bullet are fuckin amazin
ye they had a little like emo stage but musically they are talented as hell and matt has a sick voice.
i’m defo goin

bfmv

*kill myself*

Sabbat + Saxon should be headlining this – true old school metal

not fucking BFMV’s pussy POSER bullshit – whats happening? MH is just deteriorating into another slipknot/bullet obsessed poser mag like kerrang

[...] are just one of the many acts playing next year’s first-ever Hammerfest. Tickets for Hammerfest are available [...]

Firstly, WTF is with the first comment?!
“Is it because they’re Welsh??”

Secondly, BFMV deserve to headline, they’re an awesome band with talent. In my opinion, all the people who are slating them are the ones who don’t like the fact that they’re well know, talented and actually getting somewhere, plus being voted Best British Band. Y’know people..jealousy is a very bad trate to have.

BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE FUCKING ROCK

SUCK MY TINY BALLS IS U THINK THEY SUCK

I hafta agree with yawn on this one. I’ve seen bullet everytime they’ve come thru town including when they werent well known and those guys kick major ass. I remeber seeing them in a little club called juanita’s these guys are epic.

i was all up for this (as alestorm and tyr are amazing) bt then noticed the 18+ age limit

i mean wtf why cant a 16yr old go with their dad

Yawn – Firstly, WTF is with the first comment?!
“Is it because they’re Welsh??”

Maybe because Hammerfest is in Wales!! that is why I made the comment, or did that go over your head!

I’m not jealous of Bullet and their success, in fact I have seen them live twice this year. I just don’t believe that they are headline material as 2 albums and an EP is not exactly a lot.

I’m surprised MH have them headlining as they didn’t exactly give them a glowing review for Scream Aim Fire.

I’m not a Bullet fan myself, but they are way better and heavier than any band on that line up so far! And that’s saying something.
As for not being “headline material,” they’ve been headlining enormous gigs for ages, especially in the US. They’re one of the biggest metal bands in the world, next to Metallica.
You all need to listen to proper metal anyway, like Meshuggah! Rock on, you bunch of wining idiots!

BFMV hatters:

SUCK MY BALLS!!!!!!!!!!

I did read at some point that Opeth were gonna be there, but I can’t see their details anywhere now – can someone confirm we are still getting them, otherwise I may have to cancel my tickets…

Will all of you get over yourselves and just remember why we are going to this gig in the 1st place – FOR THE MUSIC. Quit hating each other…

Safety chaps

Seen bullet at the ole reading festivalio, werent too bad to be honest, there were flames and everything. Mad. Shouldnt headline though.

BFMV=gay but dream evil is worth the price of admission

Hammerfest was brilliant and I though that Alestorm were by far the best band to play there because of their performance and the atomsphere from the crowd.
