The boys in Bullet for my Valentine stopped by mid-year on Hard Drive Lives' first edition of this tour, since that one did such a splendid job Hard Drive Live came back around, for the Monster Energy Outbreak Tour featuring Bullet for my Valentine yet again, as well as Black Veil Brides, Stars In Stereo, and Throw The Fight. The six week run began none other than Los Angeles, California at the Club Nokia venue atop the complex of the Nokia Live/Staples Center attraction on September 28, 2013.
Kicking things off was 1 of 2 acts who were out of state/country Minneapolis, Minnesota's rock, metal, alternative's Throw The Fight. They brought the fists pumping with adrenaline and pure energy really, getting the crowd pumped and entertained with their array of fierce vocals and fast beating guitar riffs.

This was continued when local act Stars In Stereo took over soon afterwards, with their passion melody driven rock ballads with pure rock force that kept everyone even more entertained than Throw The Fight had done. These guys really moved the crowd, everyone was either clapping along or shaking their body's to every other beat.

They surly put on a good performance but following them was another California local act that everyone was indeed there for besides the obvious, Black Veil Brides! These guys have been at it for quite some time, and now that they are up to album three, their loyal BVB Army fan base keeps them going. Once they hoped upon the stage their presents was gladly welcomed but their equipment wasn't as welcoming, as all of their instruments microphone included weren't in check, the sound was there but it wasn't as loud blaring as would be Bullet for my Valentine's performance.
BVB:
Black Veil Bride's set was decent but could have sounded a whole lot better as far as quality is concerned - their song list covered a lot of the later material as opposed to their earlier works, ranging from "Legacy", "In The End", "Fallen Angels", Bullet Proof", and "Rebel Love Song", each and every song played was caught upon the singing lips of the crowd as everyone rose up their BVB spirit fingers with face paint in tow - it was all that Black Veil Brides needed to embrace the positive atmosphere that came from the heated crowd of the fans before them.

Last but not least was the other 1 of the 2 acts that was considered an "out-of-state" performer this was United Kingdom's very own Bullet for my Valentine. The crowd was pumped enough as it were, so finishing off the night was an easy task at hand, the lights dimmed as Slayer's track "Reign in Blood" kicked things off with a instrumental track following through with the boys claiming the stage as their very own. Everyone in sight singing along, jumping up-and-down, or pushing and shoving one another from left to right, everyone clearly enjoyed the energy being fed off one another. Front man vocalist and guitarist Matt Tuck took the reigns as being a solo vocalist without his guitar during the opening number of "Breaking Point" having a spare guitarist filling in. This was of course a surprise to many - but the fans didn't mind it. As such, the other songs played that night included "Temper Temper", "Riot", "Your Betrayal", "The Last Fight", as well as "Waking The Demon" and "4 Words to Choke Upon", clearly a variety of selection making the old meets the new. Everyone there thrilled anyhow while they sang along at the top of their lungs to the beloved songs, never breaking away from the moment in the making, just adding to it, making Bullet for my Valentine's performance that more memorable and enjoyable.
