For someone who dropped out of high school Andy has an absolutely amazing vocabulary.
Just goes to show that education doesnt entirely depend on going to school.
Ashley's like, giving the floor the death stare
Catie Koala It's difficult to express yourself around Andy- he is so outspoken, and the image thing for the band is so important to him--I've seen CC get ready to "make an Announcement" and Andy literally get in front of him in an interview and quietly get him to stop from talking. Ashley I think gives the floor a Death stare when he's thinking about what he would defiantly say...but is never going to as long as Andy is the lead of BVB. For better or worse, some experiences in the Midwest make you just shut your mouth about yourself...not just to "make it", but, just to stay alive.
CC too 😂😂
I feel like he wasn't ready at all to get asked to speak he seemed nervous a little, I've watched this interview a few times and everytime I see Ash smile at 40:34
"I'm like why is Ashley smiling right when Jake is talking about quadtracking."
In all of Andy's interviews I always wait for him to say "At the end of the day" XD
+C Jones also his "we talked about this" :'D
I was waiting for him to stop interrupting.
Or "the thing is" lol
"MTV was a tv station there used to be music now they just play pregnant children" ~ Andy Biersack 2015
Holy shit, that is wild that Jinxx could've played for Slipknot. Funny to think there are probably so many Slipknot fans that hate BvB and disregard how ridiculously talented their guitar players are.
Interviewer: What's your favorite color, Andy?
Andy: *gives 2 hour speech*
Haha about the colour wheel and different shades 😆😂
He's a very long winded man. He always has so much to say. I love it. XD
IKR. He's like: The thing about colors is that you don't have to like just one. You can like many colors......... *three hours later* And that's what I think about colors"
+Lawliet the Panda *5Hrs later* But if I had to choose I would say black.
This is literally me tbh everyone just zoned out the minute I open my mouth because I have an opinion about anything and will speak for hours about it and still not cover what I want to say
Andy-The talkative gazelle
Ashley-The sexy fashion designer
CC-The crazy drummer who turned down A7x
Jake-The shredding Metallica doppelgänger
Jinx-The shy guy who'll destroy you with his violin
CC didn't turn down A7X, he just didn't get the gig. But Jinxx mentioned turning down a band from Des Moines, Iowa, a band that later became huge ... I'm almost afraid to say it, but the ONLY band that fits that description is... FUCKING SLIPKNOT!!! Is that really true?!? He must be 10-15 years younger than those guys, come on!
Alia Link Doppelgänger, are you german?
I loved Andy's speech at the end and how all the guys were staring at him like "Just another endless speech coming" xD
Lol 😭
"Emo I don't know what it is or what it means..." - Andy Biersack
The 4 of them are a like "Ok, we get some relax time!" Because anyone who's watched a lot of their interviews will agree, Andy loves to talk. Lol
BVBArmy for life!
So true 😂 AND YAS BVB ARMY FOREVER!
He like to listen to his sexy chainsaw voice
AngelxWolfx Andys like this rocks, i don't have to shut up! the others are like yup this is amazing i don't have to do anything
Jinxx? lol
YASSS
Andy's an artist, he makes arty art art
Meggs Sandwich yesss
*_wheeze_*
Hello
Wait does that mean Andy made me 😳
@@artyartart9740 AYOOOOOOOOO- DOES THAT MEAN HES UR DAD? OR ARE U A ROBOT THAT HE MADE? 🤨
okay when the guy said Jake was the only educated one I got so mad like Ashley has a freaking masters degree dude. Also I wish he talked more.
Ha, no, I knew that. I was referring specifically to a "musical" education, and making a (bad) joke to make everyone else laugh. If you notice, the first time I ask Ashley a question, I referenced how he has an extensive background in fashion, design, acting, and that he came to California to be a lead singer.
Ryan Downey even then jinxx was classically trained
Jinxx Purdy Doesn't matter, it was a joke.
A masters is the lowest degree you get from university. Just saying!
Ellie Helm ***** The lowest degree you can get is an Associate's lol.
22:10 Andy was legit offering for him to touch his godlike hair, you don't turn that away.XD
Hell no I hope I get the opportunity myself it looks soft and comforting.
Amen
I like the way 4 members of the band are squished on the couch and Jinxx is just sitting in the armchair looking sassy as fuck.
Yaaas
Jinxx is always sassy!
Penelope Views* true
IKR
Andy for president of .......SOMETHING!
Ms. Alex president of everything
Ms. Alex OF THE WORLD
Gosh Bvb is so intelligent. All of these men are completely aware of the music industry and the real struggle of it. Love interviews like this!
My mom is a huge metal/hard rock fan and she's had difference thoughts about BVB, but after we spent 6-9 hours in the car to go see BVB and listened to their songs, she had me look up interviews like this and she said a couple weeks ago, "Ya know, I understand why they have the lyrical content they do now, because after hearing all them talk, Andy is one of most intelligent people I've heard talk. Most of the bands are. They're more well educated." Now she likes them!
AngelxWolfx and Andy didn't even finish school XD
+AngelxWolfx that's so awesome! I'm a massive fan of BVB too.
while Andy was talking
Ashley: Andy shut up oh my god
cc: ash listen to this smart a**
Jake: WHEN WILL IT END
Jinxx: I'm a queen and I don't listen to peasants *checks nails*
lol thats so funny it fits how they were looking
Amelia James jinxx is the sass queen
Amelia James yup SAME thought
Amelia James ŸÁŚ
That’s so true omg. When I looked up at the screen Jinxx was checking his nails😂😂😂
the awkward moment when the camera focuses only on Andy and the interviewer '-'
Mia White ikr i wanted to see Jake :(
when andy said: u wanma touch my hair or something like that i was like: Hell yes 😍
I realized watching it that I actually didn't understand what he had said in the moment. I totally should have touched it.
Ryan Downey Andy doesn't usually offer that...you missed it man.
I wish jinxx told us about the civil war it would be more interesting if he did then my teacher at school.
I'm awake at 4:30 am watching BVB interviews, no regrets.
4:05 same
Bro I am doing that right fucking now lol
3:42am :P
am i the only one who sat here whining at the fact Jinxx had to sit in a chair on his own to one side of the band?...
+George Deacon It was so adorable though
Rin Ink very true
Haha
OH MY GOD YES!😲😲😲
Think about Motionless In White xD SOMEBODYS SITTIN ON THE FLOOR. Jkjk
This was a really good interview but I wish Jinxx didn't get interrupted so much.
+The Name's CC yeah. *sighs*
Jinxx barely talks anyway. It's kinda rare. And I feel bad that when he does he always gets interrupted
Jinxx was so offered a place in Slipknot. Life is over.
ik late reply but WHAT
4:45
Ashley starts talking to CC and having some sort of joke or something.
I can't imagine what they were talking about.. xD
Alexis Orion Ashley and CC are two of the Best of Friends...they've got each other's backs even when all Hell's breaking loose--Andy is just talking away and they kind of know they may never get to talk in the Mic again...of course they are going to talk to each other quietly.
True, true. :P
When Ashley said ' relatable' all I could hear in my head was some white girl saying ' # hashtag Relaitabe !
Has anyone else notice how mad jinxx looked when Andy and that one guy kept interrupting him
holy crap i never knew jinxx turned down slipknot
Wait, that's the band he turned down?! Holy shit!
anyone else just love how genuinely interested andy looks when the others are talking?
Haha, Ashley and CC are just sitting there making faces at each other when Andy's talking.
Why's Ashley smiling at 40:32? Did Jake say something? Did he see someone in the audience? Did he randomly think of something? Who knows. I want to know.
He probably just saw a hot girl somewhere in the audience xD
He looks like he just had a very devious idea to take over the world.
He's smiling at how specific and technical Jake is getting about recording. If you note, he makes that face when Jake says, "And THEN I quad tracked everything!"
imaginationfeedingfrenzy I think he was possibly just laughing at the fact that Jake was speaking Martian
He looks like "I'm going to kill you in your sleep/ I'm going to take over the world" I love how he looks slowly at CC. 😂
He wanted to join A7X?! Was that a joke or not because that is such a strange thought. BVB and A7X are my two ultimate favorite bands...that's like imagining Jake and Synyster switching places. Mind = blown
It's actually not a joke...CC really did want to.
Leora Ojadi
That is so cool.
Gael Nikiema You have a great taste in music, haha :)
I saw there and that was my favorite moment. I found BVB through A7X so I was stoked. I love Erin but I love CC more!
darkfawn it's not a joke .. it's true.
cc making a mustache with his hair lol im dying
"Care about your own generation."
Andy... man! You're the best! x
When Andy talked about the bachelor. Oh my god.
and it makes me wonder on his commantary when he watching it....juliet should video that...
patricia parker
Yes, yes she should.
yes im not alone...
THE DEATH OF A BACHELOR
I have so much respect for all of bvb. Not only are they extremely talented but also so intelligent! :)
i started laughing towards the end because they kept editing what andy was saying so the video wouldnt be so long n get to the point faster n it looked like he was talking for hours n hours 😅
but i wonder how long was andy really talking for at the end 0.0
24:55 Andy is staring at Ashley holding the mkc like give it back... I wanna talk. Wish everyone got to tall more but good interview. Bvbarmyforlife
Jinxx is just foever alone in his own chair to the side...
The amount of intelligence in this interview is overwhelming! I love how everyone has their own knowledge and when they bring it all together, it makes for a fantastic interview!
to the kind people asking why Andy talks so much; It's something that makes people who they are. I do it too. I like to talk. I talk a lot. It's this mindset of talking and talking wich in my case, helps me clear my mind from all the thoughts. others like to get attention, or maybe do it to keep up an act. Andy has ADD, meaning that he gets distracted easily (or that's what my doctor told me.) I have the same thing. ask me what my favourite colour is, and I can give you a 4 hour story. hopping from topic to topic. i have 5 hour conversations with friends, starting at the math homework and ending at our bmi's. so that's basically why he talks so much
thank you. someone who speaks alot are usually passionate people. whether it's just their personality or about something. it also shows confidence. so yeah 💚💚
I don't exactly have ADD but my counsellor thinks I might. I get distracted so easily and find it really hard to focus on things. There was one time in class where we had the period (75 min) to read ten pages of the textbook and answer 12 questions. I read two paragraphs. I got distracted by my pen, my desk (the top was chipping a bit), the fact that one of the computers (the classroom is also a computer lab) was on, etc. Also, some people get annoyed that I don't tend to look at the people I'm talking to. Like, I'm listening to you but the poster on the wall is very interesting right now. I talk a lot and do the topic changing thing too. The conversation will start on something like "women's fashion in the 16th century" and by the end of the conversation we end up talking about something like "Alexander Graham Bell"... after an hour or five. One time the lady I used to see for anger management started talking about "good ways to deal with anger" and ended up talking about "our favourite foods". (I didn't mean for this to be so long sorry)
I talk like this a lot too and get really excited with what I'm talking about somehow. I don't know if I have ADD (wouldn't be surprised if I do tho) but it's nice when people are actually listening instead of saying "you talk a lot" and automatically zoning out when you speak
Maartje Molenaar I have ADD too and I also have a stutter (which makes it even harder for me to talk in a conversation without having to repeat stuff every other word) But I will talk to people for hours about my favorite bands, and then give them a back story on how/where/when I first heard them and how they formed and all the members and everything else in between. Like now I’m going on and on nonstop. So yeah. Anyway...
I have ADHD and damn i can never stay focused
He is so wordy but i mean who doesnt love hearing his voice
Lulu Luna I'll bet Jinxx doesn't like to hear Andy's voice at times.. especially when it's his turn to talk and Andy decides to talk over him...I find that frustrating as well, but Jinxx took it in stride and still got to speak afterward.
+Anthony Stembrrite I can only imagine how annoying that must be for him
Jake: speaks for 5 minutes"I'm just rambling on!"
interviewer asks andy a yes or no question.
Andy: one eternity later...."but in the end..." xD
"I haven't walked by lockers in a long time; they make me happy." Lol, Andy kills me.
Andy may not have an education but my god he knows how to be wise!! Its people like you andy that i look up to!!
When Andy was talking about how Juliet watches The Bachelor Ashley was looking at him like "dude, what the fuck??" xD
Holy shit, imagine jinxx in slipknot. Crazy
IKR
Best part said was about backing new bands. I hate hearing my generation saying the same shit we heard.."Well MY bands played REAL music & this stuff is a weak copy",ect,ect. How did we go from young fun loving metal heads to old crotchety bastards?!? Pathetic!! I'm 48 & i LOVE BVB. they make me feel 18 again Cuz they ARE good! we all only get older, but to be young at heart is the best you could ever want. To have new bands pick up our stuff & keep it alive is a gift. So yeah only play to YOUR generation, but we ( old bastards ) need to get behind the new stuff or its all gonna die.
4:44 when CC and Ash get bored with Andy talking so they have their own conversation.
"Right after the civil war was MTV"

Haley Breaux omg I love this
Haley Breaux I love this and you! I am fucking screenshotting this and I love you
accurate
Amen😂🖤
I like how this isn't rude or disrespectful to other fans
I really like this interview because you get to hear from all of the artists in the band, not just Andy. There are only a few interviews like that, if not at all.
Are you kidding? Yeah they did talk a little, but as usual, Andy completely took over
I could listen to Andy all day.
I love how Andy can talk about the smallest things for so long, and so detailed
jinxx looked real nervous!
I think he felt vulnerable sitting by himself, they should have put andy or ashley in the chair! I've notice when he is isolated he gets nervous, ashley gets nervous he plays with his hair, cc gets tongue tied and talks real fast!
Please invite Pierce the Veil to do a conversation
That would be cool
YESSSSSSS!!!!
Watching this again and I'm still salty about Andy and that interviewer interrupting Jinxx. I also hate how Jinxx didn't want to say the name of the band he turned down, but Andy just had to keep pushing it. Smh 😓
Jinxx's laugh *swoons*
Very interesting what Andy says from 45:25 to 47:23. :)
I like that he keeps modest and down-to-earth concerning the self-image (who you are). He explains that you have to find who you are by your own evaluation, and should not believe what others think or say of you. Interesting that he applies this principle on positive attitudes towards him (by fans saying compliments) as it's sth. easy and comfortable to believe (-> shows that he's down-to-earth and genuine, self-critical), whereas back then, when he had to hold his ground, he applied that principle on negative attitudes towards him: If s.o. says sth. negative about you, don't believe him. Actually it's the same principle "Believe in yourself/who you are" by finding and staying yourself (a part of you that stays the same) independently from your surroundings, that has to be applied in both directions.
I think he's right, though it's a difficult task. You are always in interaction and influenced by other people concerning your self-image (fortunately; that's philosophie: always the middle; the right personal evolution is to become more and more independent) ; that's why he says "a part of you", I guess.
He mentions the example of fans saying that BVB saved their lives.
He says that it's not BVB that saved a person's life but the person itself.
He's right saying that as people can feel that they have an own strength, that's what BVB wants us to know. Their message encourages us. He doesn't want to take credit. BVB had not the intention to actively save people's lives.
He points out the subjectivity and relativity of reality - as fans saying that BVB saved their lives feel that as reality.
"Our songs mean sth totally different to them than they do to us."
I do not completely agree. It's certainly true for the biggest part (very individual, personal experiences,...) but I am convinced that there's a minimal consensus of message in the songs that is universal and intended by the band. The songs (lyrics) contain the notion of giving strenth, believing in yourself, struggling, even if life wants to kill you or you have very negative thoughts, you make it to keep alive, the will to live, standing one's ground, unity,... I'm not sure if I mentioned too many words that actually represent my subjective understanding of the songs, but I think that they tend to represent the universal message of BVB that is intended.
It's not very comfortable to see the adored person taking distance because you are always emotionally affected: if you believe that Andy is so great/your saviour/... and he answers sth. like no, you get thoughtful and maybe feel that Andy does not want to have anything to do with your reality, a little deception. But I have to modulate that Andy still accepts the compliment and can enjoy the fact of taking part in the process (as he said in another interview) - but, and this is the big BUT Andy quickly says everytime on this issue, he/BVB is not the one who saved/etc. people's lives. It's not his intention that he/BVB is the one to credit.
I agree. That is a healthy, modest attitude. He HAS to say that. If he agreed on what those fans say, he would be reproachable. People should not feel dependent. If BVB helps them, then the final stage of this process is what Andy said above. People get insight and can maybe really start to believe in themselves.
Andy: "When s.o. says sth positive to you, it's a reflection of how they feel about you, not how you project(ed) the world."
Sure. Clap clap. Again he points out the relativity. And this is good. It's modest. It's also self-protection. If people have to high expectations and thus finally even completely wrong expectations, ideas,... of you, that's bad. Andy does not want to enter the thinking about deceiving people or not, I think. That reminds me of his early principle "doing/being what you want to do/be and not what others tell you to do/be."
Andy doesn't want to cultivate (self-)adoration. Because people tend to believe in the absoluteness of sth. they believe (in) that has been approved by their target of belief, and Andy/BVB would make himself responsible for it.
But I am convinced that Andy is a good person and that he wants to be good/do good things (following his moral values, virtues, principles).
In the end he wants to assure a reasonable relationship, let's say a reasonable view. Because of course we feel what we feel and Andy does not contradict this.
For me personally, Andy is great. He's awesome, fascinating, intelligent, talented,... He's incredibly beautiful. :o I adore him, sometimes I think of him all the time. I love to watch him. He makes me smile. I really appreciate what he's saying, as you can read here xD, and I like to reflect on what he says. It's my habit to build up theories and analysises. He's inspiring; and I often got to feel so much affirmation through the words he said, so that I would think: "You said it" and I got insight. I feel good and he gives strength and wisdom. But I happily never experienced such a big deep in life that I had to be saved by s.o. else whom I would credit the saving. He's not my saviour. It actually doesn't matter if I feel that or the other way. As much as I love him, there are/were things I hate on him or that I consider negative. But these feelings do not affect my love. I see him as human and do not have high expectations on people by nature by reason of self-protection/not wanting to be deceived...I cannot say much because I don't know anything about him except from the medias. I never met him, and that would be, just like for any fan, my dream. But actually I don't really know what to do without a plan, and maybe that would be artificial anyway. You can't get s.o.'s friend just because you want it. Impossible. Sorry that I write too much. I didn't plan this at all but it just happened. Spontaneous things are the most enjoying ones :) And sometimes I just like to write my own opinion down. And note that everything I wrote is from my perpective, it's obvious, but anyway.
I was just talking about how I wanted to go to this college, and then this got uploaded!! Black Veil Brides is my FAVORITE band!!! Now I want to go even more!!!!!!!!
Andy looks so miffed when he's not talking. 😂
Ashley is my fave member but he never gets to talk in ANY interview.
+Georgia does but he talks too much at shows x'D
Ashley and Jinxx both seem that way
People say Andy talks to much. this may be the case. but my theory is a person who talks alot is passionate. passionate about curtain things. so let them talk about these things, express their opinions. Talking about things that you are passionate about can give you confidence. Just listen to the awsome people talk guys 😉
Andy took off his jacket, here comes my inner fan girl😭😭😭😭
Watch Ashley at 53:57 until 54:10 xD
+ruby rosales haha,he so cute :)
+ruby rosales just proves Andley is rel. lol jk his face is priceless xD <3
+ruby rosales aww he looked so cute.
That is what when you give Ash a microphone
ruby rosales I just have to say that we have the same last name!!
Andy has a beautiful voice. He’s crazy to think he doesn’t
Great interview. Loved hearing from everybody. 27:50
I've loved these guys since I was 14 and getting bullied in high school and I'm 25 now.
This is why I love BVB so much!
PS andys "told you" was so cute
I think how funny it was that andy was like "emo" and it was like he had never herd or talked about that word ever
"MTV was a music channel, now they just play pregnant children.." 😂
I could listen to andy's laugh all day 😳😆😊🙈
That guy had an opportunity to touch andy's hair, and he completely ignored it.
HOW DARE YOU SIR, DO YOU KNOW HOW LUCKY YOU ARE. GOSH DARNIT.
I personally love that Andy talks so much, if you don't and you think the other members are annoyed that he does it I'm pretty sure they aren't. They are probably all used to it by now after being together for awhile and doing so many interviews :)
I love the Falling in Reverse one
I love Andy mentions he likes Rise Against. They along with BVB, Linking Park and Evanescence are my favs.
like is it weird I find jake and jinxx's voices super fucking cool. their voices are like soothing yet not and it's really cool.
Sorry just had to put this out there.
look at CC 48:17 :')
AWWW OMFG 😍😍😍😍
He's so freakin cute!
CC is fucking adorable!
illmakeuhowell its just CC being CC to be honest
I just fucking died xD
CC's random hair mustache at 48:22 XD he looks so bored unless he's talking
I loved Andy’s closing speech. He’s so passionate.👏 👏
This band is truly amazing..Keep doing what you do...
Fuck yeah Andy! That speech at the end. :)
Fucking best way to end the talk. Great fucking thought Andy. Well meet one day man.
Everyone, let's not let rock die man
29:45 Am I the only one that would love Jinxx to play at my wedding?
no I would love to have him play at my wedding
lol lol yeah same
This video came out great! I'm so glad I got to be there. This totally illustrates why I love these guys. They are talented, smart and their success was no accident. Even if you don't love the type of music they play, you have to respect them.
no words could ever justify my true love for this band, their intelligence astounds me and their talent in both music and understanding music is something that i aspire to. this band never let our bvb army down, we are one huge family. black veil brides always put their 100% into every show to make it as great an experience for us fans as possible. when i met them last year they were the kindest, most relaxed guys i have ever met, they're genuinely so down to earth and so caring. i remember jinxx telling me to wipe my tears because he knew i was strong, and since then i've had so much courage. black veil brides believe in us, every single one of us in the bvb army, never forget that.
i love these interviews omg
Andy has ADD. That's why he talks so much. It's part of him and there's nothing wrong with that so don't be so god damn rude.
My heart
I love hearing them talk 💖💖💖
My heart ❤️
It annoyed me when the host interrupted Jinxx to ask "how many bridesmaids", seriously? He's telling his story, don't interrupt him just to ask such an irrelevant (and might I add, inappropriate) question. Also, Andy we love you and would love nothing more than to listen to your beautiful voice all day, but you've got to stop interrupting your friends when it's they're turn to speak.
Kam3man fair enough. lame joke.
I know right. No one ever lets Jinxx talk. Not only that but Andy doesn't let anyone talk
pieces of advice at the end are bliss
Ashley on 40:34 😂
I'm happy 😊
I was there! Such nice guys. :)
OMFG I ❤️ Andy's voice.
Andy , you are absolutely right when you speak about the band and its supporters/your fans. You gave me lots of awesome moments while listening to you and watching you on stage. You have to believe how fantastic you /all of you/ are. YOU ARE GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love hearing CC speak :)
Its like 5am rn and I’m binge watching this
