Live Rating: ★★★★
Notes: Bullet are one of my top rated bands, and pretty much all of their music is decent enough, meaning that they don't disappoint with setlists. Sometimes they disappoint with the songs they choose to open and close their shows on, but that's just personal taste. I don't really count seeing them at Sonisphere 2009 either, because I was just watching them from the back, because the second stage sound was so awful. And Linkin Park were up next.
Bullet are a solid live act, but to be honest they don't live up to their sound on record. They're known for missing a few notes live, which is pretty poor for a band of their status. However, since the release of their new album and a long time off the road they appear to have improved at this, and the show they put on for the release of 'Fever' was really really good. Looks like they might be onto something now.
