    	there's a little bit about them (I think) in the
    	New Releases topic (or wherever it was I put whatever
    	it was I said about them)
    
    	(^8

    Another Van Halen clone band!  Guitarist looks/plays like eddie,
    singer looks/sings like DLR..their album looks/sounds like VH I.
    
    

    
    	I've seen them on Mtv and they're IMO another generic poseur
    band.  The singer looks like DLR...sounds kinds like him too.
    Basically an unimpressive band.

    I was given the album a while back, but never got around to listening
    to it, last night I carfully placed it on my brand new SONY Midi
    System......                                              
                                                               
    And promptly took it off after the second track.           
                                                               
    Its the classic cock up - the same mistake Kingdom Come made - a
    perfectly competant band of musicians, with a age-old, already
    been done/finished_with sound. 
          
    Real shame.

   

        and clean lookin' ... Ugh!

PARITY::STACIE "Cold Blood is all you bleed"
    
    Bullet Boys is mind fluff, but I still like it.

    REGENT::GALLANT "All aboard...ha ha ha ha!!!"
    
    	Well, I taped the HBBall last night....and after watching
    	the Bulletboys host it, I've come to a conclusion (my 
    	opinion only, of course).  Marq (lead singer) Touraine
    	(sp?).....BLECK!!!  What a phoney!
    
    	Now as far as the band itself, well, they're okay.  I
    	don't mind them.  They aren't fantastic, but they are
    	better than other bands I've seen.
    
    	Mr. Cool man acts as though he's never been in front of 
    	a camera before.  And he seems to be (IMO) putting on
    	this macho man act.
    
    	Ugh.  'Nuff said.
    
    	Tigger~~~~
    

SACMAN::FRANCINE "blackened"
    
    I agree - saw them (bullets) on MTV mouth to mouth a few months
    ago..
    
    Marq or whatever is wicked yucko and phony - and some woman called
    up and said "oh Mark you are really gorgeaus" you should have seen
    the look on his face..!!!
    
    They performed okay, but they all have crappy attitudes, big time!
    I can't stand that... they still have a long way to go to get everyones
    respect as musicians...
    
    F.

    	The Bullet Boys will be playing at City Lites in Colorado Springs
    	next Tuesday, 21.February, 8:00.  With any luck, I'll be there...
	Greg or Jesse - do you know if a person has to be 21 to go to a
 	concert there?  (I'm not asking for me, but for a friend.  A very
    	cute and very young friend.  ;-))

    Does anyone know if there is an album out there ???
    
    Please mail or reply

    Yeah, there is a BB self titled album.
    
    I have it but I have only listened to it once.
    
    I wasn't impressed.

    re .5
    
    please can you tell me the whole title, label and #
    'cause I have to import it to germany...
    
    thanks
    sr

                       
    I'll find out for you                 

	I saw the Bullet Boys last night in concert.  I wasn't impressed
	at all, though I think part of that was because they were billed
	as playing at 8:00 and didn't come on until nearly midnight.  If
	you stand around listening to an opening mock rock band followed
	(and preceded) by good metal music that you know and love, some-
	how you eventually lose your interest in seeing a band that's not
	well-known enough to pull stunts like this, you know?

	The lead singer tries his damndest to be sexy, and his rotating
	hip actions got old REAL quick.  If that's his way of appealing 
	to the females, it ain't working!  I heard other females say the 
	same thing.  His voice is good and strong, but the soundman made 
	them sound as if a good part of the show was a drum solo, and it
	was way too loud for a small club.

	They seemed to be a bit poser to me, especially the lead singer.
	He tried really hard to appear psychotic, and he reminded me way
	too much of David Lee Roth whom I do not like.  When you see Axl
	Rose, you know he's sincere in his psychotic tendencies.  When I
	saw Mr. Bullet, I felt he was posing his sincerity.  The drummer
    	was excellent, as was the bass player.  The other two were gross,
    	and I don't mean in a cool way.  Like irritatingly gross.  Like
    	it was an act.  Man, I HATE posers!

	As for the music, it was alright.  I really was not impressed in
	the slightest.  In fact, when we saw a bunch of people leaving,
	we decided to go also.  This was about an hour after the Bullet
	Boys came out.

	Jesse, were you there last night?  I thought I saw someone who 
	looks a lot like you.
    
    							Carla
    

    	
    	I'm kinda sorry that everyone seems so down on the Bulletboys.
    The only reason I despise them is because of their unbelievably
    disgusting arrogant attitudes..
    
    but the album is killer!!! In my opinion of course. 
    Yeah, it sounds a LOT like OLD Van Halen.
    Bill Upham tells me that Templeman is the producer of the album.
    
    The reason I like them is just the same as why I worship OLD VH.
    It's bluesy, kick-ass rock'n'roll, and the tunes have great hooks.
    Who wouldn't like a band like old Van Halen?
    
    What are these other VH "rip-off" bands that Buck was talking about?
    
    
    /Motorbreath...

    
    
    	Yeah I like this band they basically act like children but
    	 what the hell.
    
    	I love the songs "smooth up(in ya) and "For the love of money"
    	 
    	the album is a killer if you like blues rock...
    
    	Has anyone seen this band in concert??

    I saw them with Cinderella back in March.  I wasn't impressed with
    them.  The lead singer does think he's David Lee and struts his
    beer gut all over the stage.  But that's not what counts right???
    They sounded okay, I went out and bought the album after so I guess
    they weren't too bad.  Only played a 30 min. set though.
    I was disappointed because I thought they really could have wailed
    on "Smooth Up" but they didn't
    
    See note 476.8 for another concert opinion.
    
    P.S.  Every picture I have seen of the guitarist (don't know his
    name) he has his top button undun and his fly down, and even on
    stage he did this.  It looks really stupid, and wouldn't ya think
    it would pinch a little????????

    ...interesting little ancedote 'bout these guys which backs up
    what most replies to this topic have implied already with regard
    to over-inflated egos. 
    
    Last week, whilst on vacation in England, we arrived at our hotel
    in Chester after a five hour trip from Scotland. Being quite tired
    all we could think about was getting our gear unloaded and crashing
    out in our room. The site that we witnessed in the main reception
    area was one which I'll never forget. 
    
    There for all the world to hear and see was this long blonde haired
    dude kickin' up merry hell to this old geezer about a car parked
    out front and the fact that he "...ain't gonna ride in that f&*kin'
    excuse for an automobile!!"
    
    In the background, three more long-haired guys stood, sulking like
    scolded brats whilst the fracas raged on....!!
    
    To cut a long story short, the 4 guys were....The Bullet Boys...
    the situation in question concerned the fact that they had a day
    off from their UK Tour and wanted to travel into Wales for some
    sight-seeing, problem was that the car that had been provided 
    wasn't in the "limo" class - it was just a plain ordinary Renault
    5 (smallish but nevertheless not the end-of-the-world at 1 year
    old). 
    
    This was a respectable hotel - the old guy was taken apart in public
    and personally in the 2 days I stayed at that place, I have never
    seen so much over-inflated bonces in all my life!!
     
    Shoutin' down a corridor at 2am (their rooms were 20 ft away from
    ours)" Hey man, were's the f*&kin' $500 you owe me!?" was just one
    other example of their brand of communication and diplomacy and
    there was plenty more on offer!
    
    I believe the tour rolls up to Scotland this week - I must confess
    to never having heard the band, but if this is the way they see
    themselves then I'm glad :-
    
    o That I will not be in Edinburgh this week.
    
    o I do not have to buy their records and keep them afloat.
                                                
    Someone at their record company, should teach them how to behave
    like responsible adults should!

    I thought they were great when I saw them at the Living room last
    winter.  He's definately a DLR clone, but who cares I like to sing and
    dance to the album.  And, yes they are kinda cocky.  Oh well, I'd still
    give them a thumbs up!

    
    I'll give them them thumbs up too!  These guys do rock, but alot
    of fans are cathing there ego trip and getting fed up with them!
    Definitely egotistical!  
    
    Thy are "old" Van Halen clones.  Kinda makes you think that Ted
    Templeman wanted another early Van Halen when he couldn't get the
    real ones to get back together and produce some real music.
    
    Mr. Ed
     

    I think Bulletboys are cool.
    
    re.12 that was my impression about Ted Templeman too. Marq
    even has one of those DLR howls on one tune, I think it's 
    Shoot the Preacher Down.
    
    Definite old VH sound, but that's why I like them.
    
    /Motorbreath

    
    RE:  .13
    
    I have to admit I do like these guys alot, but I think it's because
    I miss the old Van Halen so much.
    
    Yeah, you're right, Shoot the preacher down has that.  But doesn't
    that song remind you of one that Van Halen did?  It starts out really
    blues like that then kicks in.  Do you remember?
    
    Mr. Ed
    

    The album rocks.
    
    I didn't like it when it first came out but I gave it another listen
    and w.o.w.

    They used to be one of my fave's but their old news now. Oh well.
    
    'april

    Bulletboys have completed work on their second album entitled
    Freakshow.  The album should be out through WEA next month.

    Don't they already have a single off that getting airplay?
    I love Bulletboys, the first album at least, but if you've
    read through this note, you already know that and probably don;t
    care!! 8^)

    I think I heard one of their new songs on Z-rock a few days ago.  I
    remember thinking I wasn't too impressed, but I'll reserve judgement
    until I can give it a good listen.
    
    Gh

    Good thinking mon!~

    
    They grabbed the title belt on WAAF's rock wars last night...

      It seems I also heard a new song by them. Wasn't to impressed, but I
    wasn't paying much attention. I'll listen again and see what I think.
    					The KER
    

    I heard the new cut (don't know the name, but ...) on the way to the
    gig this weekend - I liked it, but I like the 1st album a lot, so ...
    
    Scary 

    BTW - the singer's still a pr*ck, but they crank out some good music.
    
    still Scary ...

    re.-1 I agree,does he take lessons at being a pr*ck or was he just
    born that way?
    
    
                                          Staynz

    Dunno .. but I've been listening to the first album a lot lately, and
    the boy can belt out a tune ...
    
    Scary

    I like the BB's, but agree that singer is a real jerk.  I found his
    stage presence to be quite offensive in concert...kinda ruined the
    show.

    I don't care if he's a di@k or not.
    I think Axl's a di@k too, but still like GnR.

    Groove from h*ll but the new song has hints of 
    SMOOTH UP IN YA and DON"T LET MONEY FOOL YA.
      The kinda song the BB"s are good at.
      Ridin bass line  with a slow groove with the drummer riding the
    high-hats with 16th's, while Mark screams with his eyes open.
                  Good but I don't wanna buy another album
                     with the same stuff on it?
    
             I'll have to hear the rest of the album.
                       frizkid 8*)!
    

    Did anyone happen to catch the Bullet Boys host Head-bangers
    Ball?
    They did a better job than I thought they would......
    Except for loud-mouth, David Lee Roth wanna-be Mark T.
    
     Does he only own one turtle-neck?
    
                                  Frizkid
                Who still doesn't the new song hold water....
    

    Mark T is a prick...I'd like to punch him one!

    I saw parts of it (kept switching channels when they'd play commercials
    or something lame, so there wasn't a lot to see...)
    
    I didn't think the guys from the Bulletboys seemed so bad (what I saw
    of them), and I kind of liked their new video.
    
    gh

    
    I liked the new video although it is pretty same-y.

    My roomate got the new CD last night "FREAKSHOW"....
    
    It sounds awful.............sloppy and very unmemorable.
    
    It almost sounds local with no flavor.........
    
                  Cool pretty boy pictures on the inside....
    along with a double headed sheep and other assorted FREAKSHOW
    stuff...
    
                    Sorry,but I think the BB's may have shot 
    themselves in the leg with this one.....

    p.s.s.You might as well have your band took all the other songs
    my old band played..........
    p.s.s.sYou couldv.e just asked for the song set list!
    

    
    Well, after having the new Bullet Boys disc in my player for a few
    days, I can honestly say its trash!
    
    There are a couple of good bits but its not a patch on the first album.

    I saw/heard the video this morning - it's OK, nothing to go campin'
    with.
    
    Scary

    
    Well, the single is the best cut on the album. Is it my imagination or
    does the bass player tune down to D ?
    
    There are one or two good tracks on it, but its so easy for the rest of
    the rubbish to cloud your judgment. The thing that really bugs me is
    Mark's constant screaming-out-of-tune-voice. Also, the guitar player's
    tone is way to fuzzy and some of his riffs sound like Extreme
    cast-aways (like wow man, if I put in a flattened fifth and maybe add a 
    major third it'll be a hit dude - barf).
    
    Never mind - 3rd time lucky...
    -Tony

        RE: Bass player tuning down to D
        
        Alot  of   bass  players  do  just  that.    If  you  notice,
        Queensr�che's bassist does the same thing.  (Alot on O:MC and
        more recent, `Della Brown' from Empire.)

    	I heard "THC Groove" over the w'end, and it's boring.  The
    	song just kind of drags along.  I think what's-his-name is
    	just trying to be another DLR with the "posing" he does.
    
    	If you take the hair off the lead singer and put on a short

    it could have been my car radio, because I only have one speaker

    and the rest of the song was just OK.

    What the band claims that it stands for is "The HardCore Groove"...
       But I bet Crazy Al's hitting it on the head with his in-depth look.

    Does anybody know anything about the bands history ? I'm interested in
    finding out if Mark Torqay (spelt?) was the bands first singer ? Does
    the name Rage Ryan mean anything to anybody in the know ?
    

    I heard this band is HIS-TORY.

    what a shame..............I'll miss them so!

    Heard through the grapevine that the band are still alive, kicking and
    signed to their label with their 3rd album due to be released shortly.
    
    The guitarist has had ALL his barnet cut off into a goofy bowl cut
    (sort of mick jagger-ish) and the drummer looks like he's had most of
    his cut off too. Their new album is said to be totally different and
    will apparantly be a surprise to their fans (in other words, they are
    running scared trying to retain their deal, what with the recent grunge
    invasion).

    	Just, read in a magazine, Bullet Boys have changed their name
    to Acid Monkey -- They have a new CD coming out soon, apparently
    you order it by mail or something like that. They have a
    new sound more Grungey Punk. Apparently it will eventually be out
    in stores.

    The first BB album rooled!

    
    	Actually, I had my last reply a little messed-up (.90)
    
    They changed their name to Acid Monkey, produced their own CD, but
    after doing some small tours, fans said they should change their
    name back to the Bullet Boys, which they have done. However the
    CD they released, which has been available by mail only, will be
    released in stores this month, under the name Acid Monkey. But after
    that they will return the name Bullet Boys. Like I stated, its Punkey,
    but it has a couple of heavy songs as well. And their version on
    American Pie is suppose to be pretty good.
