Bullet For My Valentine’s Michael Paget Says The Band Have “About Three Albums’ Worth Of Music” Written For Their Next Record
During an interview with 89 FM A Rádio Rock, Bullet For My Valentine guitarist Michael “Padge” Paget offered an update on the band’s new album. According to him, the group have “about three albums’ worth of music” written for the effort.
Paget said the following:
“Every album is completely different. Matt [Tuck, BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE guitarist/vocalist] being sort of the main songwriter, the boss, if you will, he’s dedicated to never writing the same album twice, ’cause he likes to sort of test himself and sort of expand and push boundaries and see where, the band and the music can go, et cetera. I guess that’s the hunger of being a musician and a writer, I guess.
It’s definitely gonna be BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE, if you will, with all the same sort of formulas. But it’s gonna be well different and it’s gonna be very impressive. And we’ve worked for a long time on this and we’ve worked very hard. There’s so many fucking songs, man, so many different styles. There’s probably about three albums’ worth of music, so we have to get back home now and sort of wean out the really different ones and sort of get a bunch together, which is sort of a theme, because there’s some seriously different shit on this, stuff we’ve never sort of dipped a big toe into. But maybe in the future that will show itself again, maybe we will sort of give a little taste on this next album, but I think we’ve got a good idea where we are gonna go with it.”

Former KISS Drummer Peter Criss Shoots Down Reports Saying He Was Charging $1,000 For Digital Downloads Of His New Solo Album
Former KISS drummer/vocalist Peter Criss has denied claims suggesting he was charging $1,000 for digital copies of his new self-titled solo album. Flatiron Recordings set that price on Bandcamp to discourage digital sales.
Criss said the following:
“Hello KISS Army! Bandcamp had become an issue and I had requested Flatiron Recordings to disable the account associated with my records before the release day of my New record on December 19, 2025.
I am not in control of the Bandcamp account. Flatiron Recordings is. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and for the misinformation and implication that I am charging $1,000 for a download of my New record – I am Not. Please contact Flatiron Recordings with any purchase questions. Please find another outlet to purchase My New Peter Criss Rock Record. There is a Linktree on my website www.petercriss.net of outlets to purchase my new record. Just click the link for my record and it will show you the Linktree. Please use one of those instead of Bandcamp.
Thank you all!
God Bless, Peter Criss”.

Cro-Mags’ Harley Flanagan Explains Why He Re-Recorded “The Age Of Quarrel”
During a Q&A session at Generation Records in New York, Cro-Mags’ Harley Flanagan explained why he re-recorded the band’s 1986 album “The Age Of Quarrel.” According to him, he was just going to re-record several tracks for his “Wired For Chaos” documentary, but ended up doing the whole thing for the 40th anniversary.
Flanagan said the following:
“That’s why you’ll see in a lot of films, you’ll hear re-recordings of songs. And you’ll be, like, ‘Why did they do that shit?’ … And more often than not, it’s because it was too fucking complicated to get the rights or too expensive. So we wound up in a situation. Obviously most people here don’t know and don’t care, so I’m not gonna bore you with the history of the CRO-MAGS madness and legal drama over the first two albums, which we’ve never still gotten paid for. But the one thing I will say is this: we did have the opportunity to get the shit back, and it just would’ve required me and some of the other bandmembers coming to the table and saying, ‘Yo, guys, let’s get this shit back and just do something with it and all get paid.’ And the other guys were just too — I don’t know, man. They wouldn’t come to the table and have that conversation. So, more or less because of that, I was left with no choice but re-recording some of the songs.”
He also added:
“I wound up going in, and ’cause I was having such a good time and the session was going so well, I said, ‘Fuck it.’ The 40-year anniversary of the album’s coming out next year, so I tracked the whole fucking album. So y’all be able to hear that next year. And I gotta say it sounds kind of like ‘Age Of Quarrel’ meets [CRO-MAGS’ second album, 1989’s] ‘Best Wishes’ in the sense that it’s played like ‘Age Of Quarrel’, but it’s got me on vocals, so it just has a deeper voice, let’s just say.”
