"Growing up in Ohio, did you experience a lot of that kind of adversity? Well, I was never that kid that sort of sat in the corner feeling sad. I just always looked at things like, “I could use other people’s ignorance to fuel me…” I hoped that if anything the kids making fun of me for wearing a Misfit’s T-shirt would just sort of spur me on to do whatever it was I wanted to do in my life, which from a very young age was always just to be in a band. Seems like it’s working out for you..? Yeah… It’s going pretty well. I don’t like to look at things like me being somehow different or better than the kids I grew up with. I just look at it like maybe they just didn’t understand… And the fact that I’m able to do what I want to do…it’s like they spurred me on and made me who I am now, and I have nothing but appreciation for them."

Icon vs. Icon just put up an interview with Andy! He talks about his influences, writing STWOF, their next music video and loads of other stuff! What do you think is the biggest misconception about the band at this point in its history?
How much time do we have? [laughs] I mean, literally everything. You list – some genre things: they’re just silly. Just the constant weirdness about the fact that we’re theatrical in our image. I mean, there’s so many things that at the end of the day it doesn’t matter to us. We are what we are, and I think that the easiest way to clear up a misconception is for someone just to fucking listen to the band or see the band play. But most people don’t wanna do that; they’d rather pretend that we’re, I don’t know, gay or whatever it is they wanna call us. That’s fine. We’ll be whatever they need us to be if it makes them comfortable or happier in their masculinity or something. Read the full thing here. Black Veil Brides got listed as #10 in "Top 10 New-School Hair Metal Bands." Here's what was said about them: The band formed in southern Ohio back in 2006 and, like any good hair metal band, has weathered a slew of lineup changes. A mix of metalcore and hair metal, Black Veil Brides have somehow carved out their own sound while still being commercial enough to garner both album sales and slots at big festivals. Constantly made-up to look like 'Shout at the Devil' era Mötley Crüe, the band loves all the trappings of big 80s metal: makeup, fire and explosions, especially in videos. See the full list here.
Photo by Stephanie Byrne “We don’t hide what we are.” That statement makes perfect sense to those familiar with Black Veil Brides. Yet lead singer Andy Biersack still finds himself uttering those words every now and then. Only because he is at times prodded to address their over-the-top look in various interviews. The topic came up in our chat as I alluded to all the negative comments plastered on message boards when preparing to speak with the 20 year-old who created the more-or-less theatrical rock-n-metal band six years ago. They also have their fair share of supporters as well… Read the full thing here.
