I’m a photographer and I got to shoot MÖTLEY CRÜE’s “ Shout At The Devil” Tour and KISS during the “ Dressed To Kill” tour and those shows were exciting. We love putting on a show, we grew up loving superheroes and ALICE COOPER and that’s how we express that.īrian Rademacher: And I agree. It should be about rebellion and going somewhere and singing your heart out and if people come to see us and follow us it’s not just because the make-up it’s their choice because they like us.
Things like I need to be more metal and serious than my friends, that’s bull-shit. You’re looking at a genre that has lost almost all its fun and people like that have driven rock n roll into the ground. People who define bands wearing make-up are just ignorant anyway. Rock n roll is for fun, not meant to be taken so seriously. I’m so happy in what we do and I know it makes our audience happy in what we do. We openly wear our influences on our sleeve we are also influenced by THE MISFITS and METALLICA but it just happens that we wear make-up. The sound and the image was always with us since day one and we always wanted to do it.īrian Rademacher: How do you feel when people say you’re a MÖTLEY CRÜE clone? For me I love the image because I’m a photographer also and it makes for a great show.Īndy Biersack People that say that are so ignorant it doesn’t matter to me, yes we are paying homage to that band but compared musically we sound nothing like them. It was never a conscious effort to wear makeup or dress up, that’s what bands looked like and we thought it was cool.
For us it’s blending the idea with theatrical rock like ALICE COOPER-style and more heavy metal sound that we were always interested in. Was a band like BLACK VEIL BRIDES something you always set out to do?Īndy Biersack I think in terms of sound and image, obviously growing up we idolized bands like WASP, MÖTLEY CRÜE and KISS and we also had a deep love for bands like METALLICA and MEGADETH. You bring the goods on this one love the ripping guitar and the harmonies are excellent. Brian Rademacher: Congratulations Andy on the new CD as it’s amazing.
