I’ll be straight up. I’ve never heard of this band up until 2 hours ago. I was just stumbling around a few websites when I came across this band. They’re proper heavy metal, which is not my cup of tea, however I was so impressed with their energy on this video that I’m now comtemplating going over to to the Nag’s Head just to photograph these lads! What do you think of them? Are they proper rockers worthy of your attention, or are they just rock wannabes? Leave comments below!!
Did you know that one of the hardest parts of doing Music Photography is choosing which photos to use? On top of that, it’s difficult to edit the individual shots. Do I bleach wash it, use black and white, make it more vibrant…? The variables are limitless. This is the delima presented to us when choosing the photos all week for The Red Bullets.
Today is the final part of Red Bullets Week*. These are the group shots of the band we know and love. As individuals they have their unique …
It is the opinion of this Photographer (and it is only an opinion) that every band lives and dies with their front man; Aerosmith needs Steve Tyler, Foo Fighters needs Dave Grohl and The Red Bullets need Pete Edwards. Pete has to bare the weight as the voice of the Bullets so his stage performance is equally as important as his vocals.
Unlike most front men, Pete is behind a keyboard which is in a seated position. This means he is physically limited to how he can perform on stage, but …
The third part of GigPhotographer’s Red Bullets week.
Damn, photographing drummers is difficult…fact! They’re tucked behind their kit, tucked behind the band, tucked at the back of the stage. The Red Bullet’s drummer is no exception. We knew it would represent a challenge; I even said to Mark to look up whenever he does see us.
We did get some good shots thanks to Mark’s extroverted manner, the lights at on the stage really helped to give the images an interesting contrast.

On the second day of Red Bullet’s week, we come to their lead guitarist Kyle Hall.
Always a pleasure to photograph; Kyle gives his every ounce in performing! He has some personal stances that are individual to Kyle, and Kyle only! Capturing the movement in Kyle’s performance is, dare I say it…easy? He is the the momentary spark of extrovert jumps and leaps, the energy of endless rhythm, and the guitar hero of us all.
Kelly.

I have been a long time Bon Jovi fan. I know for a fact there are millions of other Bon Jovi fans out there; I’ve been to two of their gigs and you guys are wild in your masses!
I will review Bon Jovi’s album cover very soon, in the meantime the BBC have given a fair assessment of their new collection. I say “fair” because the reviewer clearly isn’t a Bon Jovi fan but at least the reviewer Tom Hocknell remains neutral.

In the first part in GigPhotographer’s RED BULLETS week, these are the exclusive photos of the Bass player Mark Wheeler.
Mark Wheeler (Wheeler to his friends) is the band’s steady underlying beat on bass guitar. He has the typical stance that bass players have, with that added ‘something’ that you know is different and special but you just can’t put your finger on it.
Taking to the centre of the stage, he occupied it gloriously with the lead guitarist and lead vocals on keyboard maneuvering around him. He has some regular poses, …
Last night was simply one of the best performances I have seen from the Buckinghamshire lads. The official photos will be uploaded very soon, in the meantime this is a little shot I took with my iPhone.
