Question:
I hate the band black veil brides?
2012-03-23 19:19:15 UTC
I bet the people who are reading this are mostly FAN GIRLS, you girls are the stupidest because all you like about the band is how hot Andy Sixx looks like. Bvb is emo and if you disagree then take a look at their video for knives and pens, an emo boy who is getting bullied? They dress emo in this video and if you disagree you must be blind. I know they're not singing about themselves but they're dressed emo!! and yes emo IS a fashion trend AND its also a music genre, if you also disagree that emo is NOT a fashion trend then you are TOTALLY blind. Real emo music was good but now its just trash. The biggest reason I hate bvb is because they rip off so many bands but yet they consider "being themselves". Bands they rip off are Motley Crue's Nikki Sixx, KISS's appearance, Avenged Sevenfold's & Atreyu's guitar riffs AND solos.<-- (most fan girls dont even know these bands or they either do know them but are too stupid to listen to their songs and enjoy them) Their lyrics are made only for the people that had a "tough" life (such as emos and people who self injure themselves) And for all you people saying Avenged Sevenfold ripped off bvb, you're wrong, Avenged Sevenfold came way before bvb and that gets me so angry because I'm a big fan of Avenged. Bvb's fans are mostly 13-17 year old emos/scene kids who think their lives are so hard and try escaping their problems by hearing this band. I mean do you ever see a 30 year old listening to bvb? No. For the people who don't consider themselves as being emo or don't dress emo but listen to bvb then you should stop and listen to some real music/ decent rock OR you could start dressing emo to fit in with the bvb fan base. And for all the people that are going to write me a mean response stop being such a retarded retard and accept that this is all true.

You probably just saw Knives and Pens. They are not like they were before. Their music sounds different, (listen to Fallen Angels). Also, they talk a lot about KISS and Motley Crue being an influence. They're not emo. Andy Biersack said it himself he said " I don't know what metalcore is, i don't know what emo is... i just know what rock and roll music is". So before hating, learn more about people. Oh yeah, I'm a guy.

First, Andy BIERSACK (Sixx was his stage name) is gorgeous, but you don't exactly buy their albums to listen to their faces, do you? Secondly, Emo isn't a fashion trend, it's a lifestyle. Also, it's less that they rip those bands off, more that they're influenced by them, like every other artist out there. Ask any artist and they'll tell you, they had to start somewhere. It's not just people who have had a tough life that listen to them. For one, the vocals, thanks to Andy, are beautiful. One MALE interviewer said that his voice was like melted butter, and he was an older guy. I also know multiple people who, while not being huge fans, like their music. Not all of Black Veil Bride's fanbase are 'emo' or teenagers. And your last sentence, retarded retard, if a retard was retarded, wouldn't that make them normal? Because retarded means there is something wrong, so they'd be normal.

Okay so first of all this isn't even a question, adding a question mark doesn't make it one. This is just an excuse for you to be a little **** and insult a band for no reason, and of course you're one of those people who says they ripped off other bands. There are a lot of emo/goth bands out there, and they aren't all going to be completely, 100% unique. Maybe sometimes they both wear makeup, but that doesn't make the bands the same.

Saying that the music is only for people with tough lives is a really stupid, shitty thing to say. Yes, some people who have had hard lives listen to BVB but that doesn't mean their music is invented for that. They are trying to help people get through their problems and Andy is very against self-harm, and they have helped a lot of people with their music and their personalities in general. The boy in the knives and pens video is supposed to represent Andy and how he got bullied as a kid, so I don't know why you insulted that. Do your research before you come on here making bs comments.

Also, yes, Andy is really gorgeous and a lot of girls or guys find him hot, including me. That isn't the only reason people listen to the band. You wouldn't listen to music by someone just because you thought they were hot, because you can't exactly see them when you're listening to their music, can you? I, along with most people in the BVB army, am not a shallow little **** and I don't like Andy just for his looks, he is a very inspirational person and he, along with the other band members, have sent a really positive, helpful message that has inspired a lot of people to stay alive and save themselves. Andy is a lot more than just his looks, which you would know if you bothered to find out who the band actually were.



Basically, people like you need to stop constantly insulting the band for no reason, because in the end, they're the ones who are famous and you're the ones sitting at home with nothing better to do but hate on people who've done nothing wrong. If you don't enjoy a band, then that's fine, because not everyone will, but publically shitting on them for no reason is ******* stupid. You clearly know nothing about the band, and all of your 'reasons' for hating them are not well thought out and make no sense. Maybe instead of wasting your life online hating on bands you should go out and actually do something useful, because the BVB army doesn't give a **** about people like you.

first off, shut the **** up. You have no idea what you're talking about.

i love black veil brides and i may be 'emo' but im not decked out emo. Also im not a 'Fangirl'.

i dont listen to them because i enjoy their lyrics, or im depressed or i think andy is fit. Bvb is not emo actually so next time do your research first. Knifes and pens is ONE video. Just because they dressed in black and the boy looked emo doesnt mean they are and give you no reason to bloody hate on them. Not all emo's self harm, because i know people who are emo and dont and im one of them. Also no music is 'just for emo's or people who self harm' anyone can listen to them. Also if you dont like a music band 1. dont listen to it 2. dont make comments about it 3. why do you give a **** about it?

Wow, someone hasn't done their research on what they're preaching.

I am a bvb fan.

1) I'm not emo, or scene.

2) Andy is friends with Nikki Sixx who was fine with Andy using the name for a while.

3) We're retarded if we write a mean response? You just can't accept other people's opinions.

4) BVB aren't emo. Yes, in their early days they portrayed emo traits but listen to In The End. --Not emo.

5)I'm pretty sure A7F got their ideas from somewhere, as bvb did theirs. Bands rip off eachother all the time.

I respect your opinion and it would be nice if you'd respect other peoples. And let me say one thing, music is just music. If you don't like a band, cool. Leave them alone. You don't need to listen to them and you don't need to spend your day ranting about them. This is honestly just attention seeking. And plain annoying.

The photo is of BVB 2013. If you think that's emo well then you need to study.

Okay well your stupid. Literally what's wrobg with being "emo"? Your such a fag for stereotyping a group of people who like to listen to their music. If you listen to Bastille, does that automatically make you "hipster"? No. It's all just a dumb as hell stereotype. Yeah Andy Biersack is gorgeous, but there are many people who look beyond that and hear BVB for what it is. BVB has saved lives and brought so many smiles to so many faces which is way more than what you'll ever accomplish in life. Have you won awards Because people loved your music? No? Didn't think so so sit down and shut up. Nobody wants to read your ignorance. And just so you know, calling someone a "retard" is offensive you legit ******. That term should be wiped off the face of the earth along with yourself just for thinking it's acceptable to speak about anyone that way. You are literally a pathetic excuse for a human being and it's belligerent, obnoxious people like yourself that make me lose faith in the world.

First of all, I just wanted to say that I am a 12 year old girl who is NOT emo, or whatever title all of you people use to judge others. You said that BVB was for 13-17 year old scene/emo kids who think their lives are so hard and are trying to escape their problems by listening to this band. Obviously they are not. Also, you said that BVB ripped of Avenged Sevenfold and Motley Crue and that most fangirls haven t even heard of those bands or like them. I am a huge fan of Avenged Sevenfold and Motley Crue and this really offends me. I also cannot even begin to fathom why you would be so SEXIST towards girls by saying that we are the stupidest of all because we only like BVB because of Andy BIERSACK, not Andy SIXX. This really infuriates me. You need to get your facts straight because BVB is not like it was at the time that they did the Knives and Pens music video. The new band members are Jake, Ashley, CC, Jinxx, and Andy, and they are CERTAINLY NOT emo. In addition, don t call people retarded retards because that is really offensive to all the people out there who have mental issues. Next time that you want to insult BVB and all of us fallen angels, I would suggest that you do your research first.

I like BVB , its not because of how Andy looks , its their music and their message given to fans . I understand you don't like them but don't judge them because of their appearance or their music . Another thing is not only kids listen to them but grown ups too . So in my opinion i think overall bvb are not quite bad , if you look at their lyrics or listen to one of their songs , its not about emo people injuring themselves its about getting through hard life such as dealing with bullying etc. Finally you don't have to be emo to listen to this band , you can just be yourself .
2016-03-13 06:02:23 UTC
Because they are jealous of how amazing they are :') I absolutely love black veil brides with all my heart <3

2015-03-30 10:17:48 UTC
The kid in knives and pens is suppose to represent Andy when he was younger because he was bullied. And you can t say that 30 year olds don t listen to them because my friends parents listen to bvb, my mom listens to them and so do my grandparents and my family are big fans of KISS and Avenged Sevenfold. You may hate bvb but that s just because you don t understand. And those people who you ve said bvb made their songs for... "Their lyrics are made only for the people that had a "tough" life (such as emos and people who self injure themselves)" well guess what. Some of those kids are dead now because people in school and at home have pushed them to do self harm. When someone tells you to go kill yourself and that your pathetic, a whore, a slut, a loser, a fag, fat, dumb, b****, and everything else on a daily bases....tell me that you wouldn t think about self harming or even killing yourself... "And for all the people that are going to write me a mean response stop being such a retarded retard and accept that this is all true." You asked for people to write mean responses so don t complain about it. And don t call people a retarded retard just because your being all pissy and mad because bvb got inspiration from great bands and you think that they re rip offs.

Idk if you are a guy or a girl but I suspect you are a guy. You GUYS always start crying if another man is handsome and thin. What you've posted here is not a question but it's a rant. I bet you've cried online about males like Taylor Lautner and Rob Pattinson, too because females like them and will pay money to see handsome men, and buy their products. If you hate BVB then don't listen to them but crying online and abusing females is making females recoil from you. Nobody will stop liking BVB because you don't. Get offline and get a job. Make yourself useful somewhere. Or go to the gym. Make yourself look like something.

Im a bvb fangirl and btw, i know avenged sevenfold. Favorite song: nightmare. Kiss: i wanna rock and roll motley crue: kickstart my heart. So think before you post sh1t like this.

BVB is glam metal, not emo. The BVB Army likes BVB for their music, not Andy's look. Stop being a ******* *****, you're just trying to piss us bridesmaids/fallen angels off. Their music save mine, and others, life. You disgracing them actually hurts, so could you at least keep your opinions to yourself, please?

MOST FANS like Black Veil Brides for their music, not their looks. And Black Veil Brides AREN'T ripping off Motley Crue or KISS. Those bands are their inspirations. DUH. And I love Avenged Sevenfold AND Black Veil Brides, so you've got it all wrong. Lots of BVB fans like A7X too. You're allowed to have your own opinion on things, but you're taking it WAY too far. And at the end, when you say that it's all true, you are wrong. It's true for you, but not for some people. And when you say "I mean do you ever see a 30 year old listening to BVB?" Some 30 year old's might. Another thing: you named your question "I hate the band Black Veil Brides?" How is that a question? It sounds like you're ashamed of hating them and you're asking if it's not right. Why did you make this question, anyway? Just to make people mad? I'm not angry, but you seem to be. One of Black Veil Brides' messages is to STOP bullying, and you seem to not want bullying to stop, since you are judging people and saying that everyone should hate BVB. Like I said, people have their own opinions, and I'm NOT saying that you have to like BVB, I'm just saying that you shouldn't say that every fan of them is stupid and just go criticizing them. So just SHUT YOUR MOUTH IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANYTHING NICE TO SAY!!! Geez.

Ok I'll start by saying I like their music, not andys looks, but anyways, if you think this is emo you are sadly mistaken, they are glam metal, metalcore, post hardcore. Emo is Boys Like Girls, Jimmy Eat World, Panic at the Disco and Fall out Boy. And knives and pens is mad old, their music is really different now
2013-12-11 12:35:00 UTC
I'm not emo at all, I don't even dress like one and I am not being bullied. I like black veil brides because they are great performers and know how to entertain. I like their song melodies, the style of their drum beat, and Andy Biersack's voice. He's a good singer. I love rock and roll.

I'm 32 and I actually kind of like BVB. I mean, they're not my favorite band, or anything, and I didn't really care for their earlier Metalcore style ( Trivium and Motionless In White are much better), but I actually like their newer Glam Metal style; mostly because I grew up on Hair Metal, though. Yes, they were obviously inspired by KISS and Motley Crue (though Andy's voice reminds me more of Tom Keifer of Cinderella), but no one else is really doing that right now, so I'm just glad that someone's trying to bring that back because I missed it.



As a huge fan of A7x, I do see where you're coming from with the similarities in riffs. I've noticed that too, especially "Knives And Pens"/"Unholy Confessions". But Guitar World once asked Brian and Zack how they felt about certain newer bands coming up who have been compared a lot to them in terms of guitar style and they just seemed flattered by the idea that someone could be inspired by them (after all, they took a lot of obvious inspiration from Metallica and, according to people on YouTube, borrowed some of their riffs as well. Lots of bands do that as a way to give a nod to bands who influenced them. It's nothing new), so if they don't have a problem with it, neither do I.



Anyway, being 32, I know nothing about the whole "Emo" scene and have no idea why the hell that it's called "Emo" when it has absolutely nothing to do with Emo. That whole sub-culture always confused me (we had Goths in my day). But, anyway, I don't think that "Emo"s are the only ones who can benefit from music like BVB's. Some people really do have tough lives, you know? High School can be hell for anyone who's "different", whether "Emo" or Gay or too fat or too thin or too short or too tall or have funny names, or whatever. Kids stop at nothing to put each other down to build themselves up, so it's rough for the ones who end up on the bottom of the food chain (trust me, I know from personal experience and I got through it by listening to Marilyn Manson). Others could've grown up victims of abuse, neglect, molestation, broken homes (either by divorce or death), etc. You don't know what people have gone through, so you can't be so quick to judge and just accuse them all of just being whiny "Emo"s. Some people have real problems and if music can help them deal with everything, then how is that a bad thing? After all, music is cheaper than therapy and safer than drugs.

Honestly, yes we all have our opinions. But you shouldn't go around throwing people under the bus and judging them unless you know the whole truth. SEVRAL times Andy has stated that bands like 'kiss' and 'a7x' are big inspirations too them. That they aren't trying to steal the style but that they are inspired by them. And don't go around saying adults don't listen to them. My aunt who is 35 listens to black veil brides. Yes I know a lot of people like them just for the looks, but not everyone is like that. Myself being one of the people who actually likes they're music. They sing for people who are going through tough times and they're music is a sense of relief for people. We all have our opinions, but please don't say things that aren't true and use them against people if you don't know the full truth

One day you're gonna say something like this and someone is gonna kick the living **** out of you. I'd LOVE to be that person.

First of all, just because you don't like them, doesn't give you the right to trash them just based on their appearance.

Second of all, 13-17 year old Fangirls, huh?

Shut the **** up. I'm a 26 year old male, and BVB is my favorite band. Say what you want about them. Call them emos, fags, whatever. But their music saves lives you f**king jack*ss. Oh. Sorry I forgot. You're too stupid to realize that. Only people who've had tough lives listen to them? Not necessarily. My niece listens to them, and she doesn't have a tough life. And while Andy, and the other members for that matter, may be good looking, that's not why people like them.

My point is, everyone knows you're a f**king d*ckhead with no life who more than likely lives in you're moms basement, but we don't trash you for it.

KEEP YOUR FILTHY, UNGRATEFUL, PIECE OF **** MOUTH SHUT, F*CKTARD.
2014-06-06 16:41:35 UTC
Ahah that's funny...your soooo wrong they are not emo or metal have u even seen and interveiw they are rock n roll andy biersack even says so. And I'm not a stupid fangurl who is just in love with there looks I mean they are good looking but I didn't even know what they look like until listening to three of their songs... But anyway I mean it's the meanings of the songs that are sooo powerful and if u have seen them latly they have changed and now that there is the andy BLACK project the music has ever changed but they are still the amazing group of five guys that love to rock

Ummn im a guy btw, but umm knives and pens was made like 3-4 years ago, if u see the band now. They look absolutely nothing like that, and his name isnt andy Sixx anymore its andy biersack or something, if u see the band now they are like "kiss" also.. im not a **** emo, if u were to see me in real life i dress kind of hip hopish... Kinda.. i guess thats how u could describe it.. but yeah. I like there music because its actually pretty good, just because u like that kind of music does not mean you are "emo"..

2012-03-23 19:37:06 UTC
Bvb is glam metal not emo, nothing you mentioned is emo. All is said and done

2012-03-23 19:25:58 UTC
Agreeeeed! The fact that Andy Biersack is viciously attractive is the only good thing about this band. It's honestly the only thing I can't stand to listen to. I'll even pick country music over Black Veil Brides. And this is coming from a sixteen year old girl who loves the genre that they contaminated. Not a fangirl. Not a fan at all, never will be.



Also, I hear they suck live.
2013-12-02 16:42:28 UTC
OK, you hate them, we get it... so what??
?
2012-03-23 19:32:46 UTC
They are a whiny incoherent band.

Emo music used to be good with Rites of Spring back in the 80s
