Daniel Cairns chats to rockers Bullet about their classic sound and where it comes from.

AAAmusic: Let’s talk about your new album ‘Full Pull’: how different is it from your previous works?

Bullet: We have become old enough to dare to experiment to get the sound we’re after. We have a piano for the first time and have also worked with acoustic guitar and choirs.

AAAmusic: The cover of your new album has a quite striking lion how did you decide on this image?

Bullet: We wanted to have a lion because it’s an untamed beast.

AAAmusic: What bands are your biggest influences?

Bullet: All bands belonging to the heavy metal in the 80s, such as Judas Priest, Twisted Sister,  Iron Maiden,  Accept, and also of course AC / DC.

AAAmusic: There was a band in the seventies called Bullet – do you have get mistaken for them?

Bullet: Not really. But one of our best friends from Germany brought me the German Bullet album as a gift on our release party.

AAAmusic: On new track ‘Full Pull’ there is major hints of AC/DC and Queen. Did you have posters of these bands on your wall when you were a kid?

Bullet: Of AC/DC yes, but I was too young to understand the greatness of Queen at that time. I appreciate the comparison.

AAAmusic: If you could play a gig with any band who would they be?

Bullet: A split headliner tour with AC/DC would be great! He he.

AAAmusic: If you were a bullet and you had to be put in a gun what gun would it be?

Bullet: AK 47. The gun of all guns.

AAAmusic: How would you best describe the look of the band?

Bullet: We look like we sound. With a little overweight.
